Bidlack is a fair grader and very knowledgeable. He assigns a good bit of reading and does not give a lot of concrete homework. Participate in class and regurgitate material and you'll do well.

Prof. Bidlack's great! You can tell how interested he is in Russian and Soviet history. Like others here have said he can be repetitive in his lectures. Real fair grader, though, if you put the effort in to research your topics. Get him in a smaller class if you can.

Loves European History. If you read the assigned chapters and regurgitate you will do fine. Lectures get boring at times

He is my favorite professor. I didn't think I would be interested in Russian history before I had him, but he makes it fun and is reasonable about workload. He just seems to know everything and infuses lecture with many fun facts and anecdotes. Great professor.

Comment:
Professor Bidlack is a great teacher. He's very enthusiastic about the subject material and his self-deprecating sense of humor is really funny. One of the few teachers to admit they don't know an answer to a question asked in class--and then research the answer for the next class! Great teacher, fair grader, and a good guy.

Comment:
Professor Bidlack is great. I highly reccomend his Soviet History class. He's a little repetitive in his lectures but tells great stories that make the history come alive. He's kind and approachable and loves to teach! He's very willing to help students who come to him but he may not go out of his way to offer.

Great professor to have as a freshman, wants to make the transition into college a good one. Must do the reading, lectures are boring and repeat everything in the reading. Participation heavily graded. Only two big assignments- a mid term in class essay and a final exam (2 timed essays).

Bidlack's really helpful. If you have a question, he'll go so far out of the way to find the answer for you. Classes were usually very interesting. He knows everything about Russia. Make sure you actually read and understand the text for the text quizzes. If you do everything for the class, it's really not bad.

Comment:
As a History lover, it pains me to truly hate this man. He's clearly very intelligent, but his paper requirements work against intellectual thinking and independent thought. Do anything but repeat what he says in class and your grade suffers. All this on top of his tendency to play favorites and his dry, overly regimented lecture format.

The textbook readings take a while because you have to read it multiple times to understand it as thouroughly as you need to for his quizzes. Lectures were boring...
