I love Snyder. One of the best professors Ive ever had. His experience shines through in his lectures and his personality shines through in his humor.

Comment:

Reasonably nice guy, but I have no idea why he teaches with Conant. Conant makes him sound slow and boring. Not a bad professor but goes about the material without tremendous insight.

Comment:

Snyder is a bad communicator. Gives rambling lectures and is very rude and aloof. Oozes arrogance which is unwarranted. Really knows how to take the life out of interesting material. Avoid him at all costs.

The man is a genius! He know EVRYTHING! And even if he doesn't go into details you can tell he's quite an expert in many different areas. His lectures are thrilling, reading list is good also. Hist of Photo was very relaxing yet very very helpful and informative

while this class was interesting and very insightful, snyder has no room for dissent. he also tends to be redundant. he comes across in class as very arrogant.

Comment:

Snyder knows his stuff, and you will be able to tell. Conant did talk a lot when they had a class together, but they shaped the discussion togehter. Snyder had better things to say more often, so don't give him a hard time, you freaks. All would do well by taking a class with him.

Comment:

co-taught w/ conant. imo, conant often dominated, and snyder was much less clear in comparison. but sometimes he was a good foil (no offense).
