Comment:
Professor Hirsch always begins and ends class right on time. His lectures are crystal clear, and it is obvious that he has an extraordinary knowledge of the classical world. While lectures can get boring, he does try to throw a joke in every once in a while. Recitations are all discussion (less boring). Fair grader; wants his students to do well.

Professor Hirsch is fantastic! Super passionate about what he teaches, which really shows. If you like history lectures, you'll love the class. Readings aren't too bad, and he goes over everything you need to know in class. Exams aren't too bad either if you show up for class everyday.

Comment:
Lectures are fairly parallel to the readings. Three papers, two tests are the only grades or assignments throughout the class. If you go to class or do the reading, you'll do well. A bit dull for non-history majors, but not too hard. Really nice prof!

Comment:
History of Ancient Greece. Professor Hirsch really knows his stuff. Class lecture is informative but largely what you read from the textbook with focus on what needs to be known for the mid term and final. Can be a little boring,but mostly because it is taught in longer class block. Highly recommeneded professor.

A great lecturer, occasionally very funny. I liked the structure of the class and the essays on problems in Greek history were interesting to write. Sometimes this class got boring, but overall it was a good class.

Greece, Rome, and China is an extremely difficult course. Not to be taken lightly. The lectures are tedious, the readings are dense, and the exams are difficult.

Comment:
History of Greece: Lectures are usually boring, but typical for a history class (if you like that sort of thing.) Must do the reading, should go to class. Exams are graded somewhat strictly. Hirsch is funny whenever possible. He is extremely intelligent, which is probably why the exams are so specific.

Comment:
Greece, Rome, and China. This was the first time he taught the class, so it was somewhat disorganized, but still good. There's a lot of reading to do, but the exams are not very difficult. I think it's a good course for someone who may want to know more about Chinese history w/out taking a full-blown course in it.
