Dr. Cantori was one of the best professors in the department. He was always available to students and helped frame issues in a way that got us thinking in the class and beyond. He was a top caliber talent and his students loved him.

let's see: shows up late, talks about himself, talks about rowing, talks about himself again...35 minutes into a 50 minute class he finally begins lecture--rambles about crap, and you get out 5 min late. he is too big for his britches. if you decide to take him, you better not tell him you are a republican--your A will quickly turn into a B.

He tends not to teach as much as tell stories, but, he is a forgiving grader. He will listen to students if they feel he wasn't fair in grading them.

he does ramble, he does name drop, and he definitely expects certain answers to even open-ended questions...on the good side, he plays major favorites and if you know how to work him (not that hard, trust me), you are set for life. i've never taken a clas

He rambles, name drops, and spends class upon classes talking about how great the crew team is. He's useless when seeking advice or guidance.

Worst teacher ever. Showed up late for every class so that he could spew false facts and conspiracy theories. Don't waste your tuition money on this complete waste of time.

Good guy, knows a lot, he has his faults, but he's a pretty amazing person who has achieved a lot in his life. You need to do a lot of self studying, actually, you do 99% of studying yourself. Hard class over all, but good guy.

Professor is potentially the worst professor I have come in contact with as a political science major at UMBC. His grading is extremely subjective and be prepared to hear countless stories of the crew team! TAKE VAUGHN!

I never went to Dr. Cantori's class and seldom read except for papers and exams. He is a very learned and intelligent man but I think his mind is slipping a little-- I rarely went to class and when I did, he rambled a lot. Boo to poli 210.

Yes, he's late for every class, but he's really smart, you'll definitely get a lot of information, and an insider's look into middle eastern politics.

I was surprised that he's one of the most learned people in his field. Its rare to have a man so passionate... Go to class (u never know he something important will be said) & read the text- he's right- it just might change your outlook.

I think he's a nice guy and kind of underrated as a professor. Yes, he loves the crew team here, but if you actually listen to what he says, he can give you some knowledge.

he has a huge ego, arrived ten minutes late to class everday, barely taught, and is so wrapped up in himself that it is better for you to sleep through his class. not recommended whatsoever.

Overall, Professor Cantori is a nice guy and knowledgeable about Middle East politics; However, if you would actually like to learn, I really DO NOT recommend taking his class. HeĆ¢€™s usually late to class (arrives nearly 15 mins. into class time) and as a
