Comment:
very nice and sweet man, but not exactly the best of teachers. i didn't really learn anything in his class but very intelligent and understanding. he's kind of like that old guy you wish was a member of your family to impart wisdom on you during thanksgiving dinner.

Comment:
Well, I'm voluntarily taking him again next semester... does that say anything about how great he is? It is true that his lectures tend to run on the long side, but it is not true that he only talks about himself. He is a wealth of information about history and a genuine support to his students. I highly recommend him.

never on time. the first to yell about other people not being "professional", meanwhile doesnt follow suit.never actually speaks about the material- more about himself (snoozefest)

He is a wonderful man, absolutely brilliant, sweet, and helpful. One on one he's fantastic, but class tends to be a bit on the boring side.

Be prepared to learn more from this professor's classes than you have in any other class in undergrad. Any time spent listening to this dude is worth well more than your SUNY tuition. TeBrake is also very supportive and always willing to reward hard work. His classes are exciting and interactive. Come prepared to discuss history in length!

A very nice man, but quite possibly the most boring professor in history. He's an extremely easy grader though.

Comment:
I just want to thank Dr. Hechtman. Before taking his class I was really wondering where my life was going. I don't mean in school, but in life. I had wondered if life was even worth it, he really saved me, saved my life. I thank God for Dr. Hechtman. I hope someday I can repay him for what he's given me, or at least just be able to tell him.

Comment:
One of my two favorite professors/people at Purchase. WTB is brilliant, very easy to learn from, and always willing to help. His classes weren't overly heavy on reading or writing, but were time consuming anyway. This is one who will require you to thin

This is a tough class but very worthwhile. Not recommended if you don't appreciate history, don't take this to fill a core. Someone said "snore"? I fall asleep in every class and I didn't fall asleep in his!

Insane amount of work, mostly ERes that's hard to catch up on. Terribly easy grader. He spent a good half the semester on how to farm Europe. I now know how to dig a good ditch in the Netherlands. I do not know how to pass the final.
