Comment:

He is incredibly intelligent and you can tell he knows so much about Russia. However, you seriously need to do the readings for his class, his lectures are very long and fast-paced and his tests are very hard. You definitely need to study hard for this class, but at the end of the day, I love Dr. Pantsov and would take him again.

Comment:

His lectures are often hard to follow as he goes off on tangents that seem to be unrelated to what is on the powerpoint. Everything he says is referred back to HIS BOOK, felt like the class was just him promoting his books. Gave us a map quiz for 10% of our grade with a different map than was given to study with.

Pretty thick accent, but if you listen, you will learn. You will get a study guide with several essay questions and roughly 20-30 individual identifications. On exam day, you randomly select a paper with one essay and 10 IDs, so make sure you know everything!

Study guides are amazing - he is very clear over what he wants on exams, which are then very easy. There is literally nothing to the class but lecture, which gets dull after a while, though he is extremely enthused about the topic. Don't bother getting the book.

Very interesting. He's Russian so mostly talks about Russia and also China.Also dont take him if you cant get past accents. It's nice to have interest in these countries. You will learn things you thought you would never learn about Russia and China. Be prepared to learn basic greetings and recited them too. Overall,a really informative class.

He was excellent. Very clear and enthusiastic. Affable and good-humored. Covered a ton of information. Class is lecture format with blue-book exams. I was dreading this course and it turned out to be one of my favorites.

He lectures the whole time, literally start to finish. He is very passionate about what he teaches and is good at it. Don't have to go to the class. Just be there to get the study guide and look everything up on wikipedia.

Comment:

Very nice guy, and compassionate about what he does. However he only talks about Russia and China. His exams were pretty tough too, he wants you to make sure you literally know all of the material even though not even half of it will be on exam.

Comment:

He is so passionate about about China and Russia. His lectures are very interesting. Sometimes he will go 15 minutes over his time limit. When he gives you study guides for the exam make sure that you spend time on it and know everything because you most likelywill get the question you know the least about.

Comment:

Best teacher I have had in college. I hate history and I LOVED this class. There are no surprises, there is no reason you cannot get an A in his class, and not because it's a stupidly easy class, you will get an A because you will actually know the material. Pantsov gets an A++ from me-- I wish I could take this class all over again.
