Comment:
It's hard to rate how hard Brooks is, because he gave final grades based on "what he thought we deserved," not our averages. It was a lot of work & he threatened to give us Cs/Ds, but most of us got As (I think lowest was a B). He tells interesting stories, but tends to ramble. He looks for very specific ideas in essays, so learn what he wants.

Comment:
Professor Brooks' class, Cold War, is a lot of work and you will have to read A LOT. Honestly though, that is to be expected in most classes at Hopkins, and unlike many other classes I feel this class gave me a tangible benefit. Not only did I learn a lot about the Cold War, but became a much better/more efficient reader and writer in the process.

He's a really nice guy and knows a lot. He'll definitely make you a better writer. However, he's a really hard grader and gives a lot of work so watch out.

Comment:
One of the best professors at Hopkins. He's passionate about what he's teaching, and is very willing to help students in any way he can, be it for his class or anything else. His passion actually sparked my interest in the subject of the class. He's an extremely intelligent, passionate man with a heart of gold. It's a privilege to be in his class.

Comment:
Worst teacher I have ever had. He was condescending and rude to me. He really believes that he is the most brilliant man alive. I admit, he's smart. But he is so full of himself. Treated me like a lesser person. I felt like crying after talking to him.

Incredibly accomplished scholar, interesting lecturer. Great to talk to in office hours, one of the few senior professors who is willing to make conversation with undergrads. Great guy.

While I found the class to be extremely difficult and the grading tough, I think well of Mr. Brooks. He's a tough, but fair professor and I learned quite a bit from him.

Comment:
A really nice guy who enjoyed talking to students outside of class. However, his lectures often rambled on irrelevant tangents. He's a cultural historian, so too many of the readings focused too much on intellectual history without going to enough issues unrelated to culture or philosophy.

Comment:
His lectures are quite rambling, and I find little relevence to alot of the reading we do. The quizzes and the papers are all about the reading, so class attendance isn't all that important, but there is tons of reading, far too much.
