Comment:
Hands down the worst teacher I have had at UAlbany. Gave no guidelines or rubrics other than the syllabus. Only instructions given for term paper was "10 pages." Out of touch with subject of intimacy as it applies to college seniors. TA little help, both bad with email responses. Stopped student during her presentation bc she was too boring.

Comment:
He was scary the first day of class im not gonna lie. But for a once a week three our class it was he was great. We watched boring documentaries, but we were never there for more than an hour and half. He would lecture for like a half an hour, with no notes. You didnt have to go to class but youd have to be on time if you did. Overall good professo

Comment:
Terrible professor. he just plays an hour long movie, filled with biases and generalizations and has the nerve to not show up on the day of the midterm. hes a grumpy old man and it will be a happy day in my life when i dont have him as a professor anymore.

I had this prof in the summer of 1987. He was one of the best Prof's I had. He wasn't hard, not easy. He kept the subjects interesting and used good topics.

Comment:
I have had seidman at for at least 4 different classes. He does 3 hour lecture classes, he will lecture for an hour, and then he will either let you leave or have the ta teach for 30 mins. he is extremely knowledgeable but the material is often pretty hard and so are his course pack readings. If you like not having to stay in 3 hour classes, hes it

He seems a little anal retentive, but he is nice and the subject matter is interesting. Easy with the tests. Gives quizzes but you can drop one.

Horrible teacher! Teaches only his beliefs and opinions. Tests are on HIS book (very one-sided) and he leaves after the lecture and makes TA teach and answer questions

Book: easy read & informative. Professor: wondering why he picked teaches career. Lectures small % time, leaves & lets Assistant take over. Grading?: Doesn't even administer tests- has Assistant grade all work to be determining of your average.
