Comment:
Very knowledgeable and uses inflammatory ideas to get your attention. He was my advisor in the MSSc program at Maxwell and has always been a beacon for me when I read history and separate truth and fiction. His knowledge of early Anglo-American colonial hostory is unsurpassed. Caution: his books are not for popular history lovers.

I had Dr. Webb in the Maxwell Social Science program. He gave a meticulous, descriptive overview of the subject matter - I absolutely loved his lectures. He is an excellent professor!!!! His standards of writing are high & wants students to produce good quality, scholarly work! His intentions are great & in students' best interest.

Comment:
Challenging professor with traditional teaching methods. Sets the bar high but fair. Extremely knowledgable and intelligent; brings alive Anglo-American history including Iroquois. As my advisor, he is a proud part of my experience in the Master's of Social Science program. Thank you Dr. Webb!

Worst prof in the Maxwell School. Treats his grad students like High School kids. Avoid his class at all costs.

Comment:
I studied under Professor Webb at Syracuse in the 90's, he was and probably is still a tremendous lecturer. His descriptive manner and thorough understanding of Iroquois history made one feel as if he or she were there. I concur with an earlier posting . . . the man's knowledge is legendary. The campus is a lesser place without him.

the lectures are REALLY good, but Webb himself is a little abrasive - his grading was pretty honest which is actually a good thing but again this man has a tremendous ego

I just found this web site. I suspect the good comments about Webb, were probably written by Webb himself. This guy is a joke! If it weren't for tenure, he'd be on the streets. A waste of $ taking any class he teaches!

One of the most **** professors I have ever had the misfortune of having. He believes only men have a place teaching history.

Professor Webb is one of the kindest and nicest professors at SU! He is an old school grader, with a slightly dry presentation, but if you can get pass this, I suggest that a course taught by him will be the best use of your time. His knowledge is legend!

All you people who disliked Stephen Webb must be stupid or something--Webb is the greatest professor in the History Department: a daring scholar, a great lecturer, and a no-bull**** grader.
