Comment:

Of all the professors I had during my time at NU, Prof. Hiltz stands out as my favorite. He has that rare ability to teach students how to think outside of the box. He made my class on the mechanics of constructing footnotes an enjoyable task- Prof. Hiltz has a somewhat sarcastic wit- which i loved. He's a John Lennon fan, which is always a plus.

I took Prof Hiltz's course on the bibliographical construction- He's a really interesting guy,and has a charming saracstic wit- He's a big John Lennon fan,which is a plus. He graduated from NU in '73,so has been there forever. A truly unique professor,who will force you to think outside of the box.

Comment:

I took his class in the winter quarter of 1995. His lectures were peppered with amusing funny sarcastic comments not only about Western Civ, but also about the society in general. Although he made you work for your grade, it was an interesting and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended unless you want a no-work class.

Comment:

The best thing about Hiltz is that he cuts the BS and PC out of history. He's not afraid to say, well, religion says this, but we have good evidence that that's wrong. If that hurts your feelings, then you really shouldn't be interacting with humans.

Comment:

This guy is a handful. Pretty good Professor. Don't fall asleep or come in late. He has the best off lecture comments and has a twisted view of the world. Its very entertaining. He does know his stuff if you challenge him. He reminds me of "Prof

Comment:

This guy is so disillusioned with this world and it comes out whenever he opens his mouth. And its pretty ****ing funny too. Class is pretty easy, lectures can be boring (but then, western civ isn't the most interesting course) until he goes on a rant.

He comes into the class and talks FOREVER. Then you have to go home, and read 8, and I mean 8 books...BIG BOOKS and write papers on them all. No tests, but a PITA.

Comment:

Hilarious. He comes in and talks for an hour but rarely uses the board. He is very intelligent and excited about history but he is definitely dry and sarcastic. Not a terribly hard greater. I'd reccomend him for someone who is genuinely interested in the class.

Comment:

Prof Hiltz's class is easy as long as you get there. It can be hard to tell what you should take notes on, but he is really excited about history and has a lot of knowledge to share. Keep up with the reading if you want to do well on the essays- they're not too hard but that will help.

Comment:

Comes into class and talks for an hour. Occasionally writes stuff on the board. The guy really loves history and it is interesting to listen to what he has to say about EVERYTHING. Grading isnt bad, there are 4 essays; write three, he grades two. Occasional quizzes(easy). Great professor
