Very funny. Probs my fav prof at Ccsu and I hate history but he made it fun and interesting. 9/11 class is a great choice. Field trip was enlightening. Very little homework and as long as you listen in class (dont even need to take notes) youll pass. Take him!

Comment:

A lot of reading followed by tests which don't include the information we had to read about. It adds a more open concept type of class and Mr Warshauer is enthusiastic about the subject sometimes, but since the course lacks structure I found it difficult. Barely passed with a C. It was very stressful. Thought I failed. Asks for feedback.

Comment:

Warshauer was cool. The 9/11 class was very informative, and he gives you a whole new perspective to it. It's very obvious that his ego gets in the way of his teaching style, he tends to just talk about his book and his accomplishments within the department.

Unique teaching style, which keeps you engaged. Talks about 9/11 from many different angles - this requires you to do the reading, or else you'll be lost! Midterm is 3 most important things you've learned, and final is a documentary of questions students come up with surrounding 9/11. Mandatory trip to 9/11 Memorial and Museum in NYC.

Comment:

Mr Warshauer is obviously only here because of tenure. Most of the class is him talking about his accomplishments, and engaging us for ideas for a book he's writing. Many of his classes are open discussion which means there's no reason to come to class. His grading is opinionated which makes scoring high grades tough. Also very loud (argues)

Comment:

He doesn't teach, he only picks random historical info off the history channel website, and talks about it. The only way to fail the class is if you don't cheap which everyone does since his tests are open book, open notes, open internet. Only a few people failed because they didn't use the internet for help. Easy A since answers are online.

Comment:

The amount of info presented in 9/11 history is so vast it's very difficult for any instructor to properly convey this info in an academically logical, and presentable manner. The prof is friendly, and available to talk for office hours however he expects you to understand vast amounts of info in a short period of time, and the readings are complex

Assignments are open for interpretation which some people liked but it made it hard to score an A in this class. There are 3 assignments and a lot of reading it was hard to keep up. The class was enjoyable but the questions were really hard because they required so many different facts. There is an participation grade though which is easy to get

Comment:

Lectures are broad, and uncentralized which means the lectures are pointless to attend. I wouldn't even go however he takes attendance, locks people out of his classroom, and deducts points if you're late. The large amount of reading is also irrelevant, and never referenced completely. You can instead pass by watching youtube videos.

In Warshauer's classes you learn so much more than you sign up for. Going into this class, as someone who has never done well in history, I had no idea what I was about to learn. I took his 9/11 course and he opened my mind up to history and really helped me develop critical thought. He is hilarious and wants you to learn! Do the readings though!

I took his 9/11 course and literally it was the best class out of all my courses this semester. Come to class, sit, and learn. NO quizzes, NO exams, NO papers! There's a midterm and a documentary film due which is fun. Very knowledgeable professor and I would absolutely take another course with him. I would recommend to any of my friends!

Honestly the easiest class i have took so far. However, it is one of the most informative classes because you learn a lot from this class. He is a fun, caring teacher and wants you to have a better understanding of the world around you. A mid-term and a group project film documentary for your grade. I would take him again.

So, this is the first professor I've ever written a review for, just because i really do think he deserves a great rating. I took his 9/11 course and I loved it. He made the class very interesting and he's hilarious. In addition to this, there were like no homework throughout the whole semester, but he really encourages you to think critically.

Dr. Warshauer is basically a walking encyclopedia. He is knowledgable, yet hilarious. His classes are discussions based on readings assigned for homework, so participation counts. Takes attendance every class. Only a midterm and final group project. You definitely walk out of class knowing more about 9/11 than you ever could imagine. Take him!!!
