Comment:

Prof. Snay is one of the best teachers I have had at Denison. I took him for a class on the American Revolution time-period, and it was very clear that he wanted to impart on his students the joy that he got on this subject. In other words, very passionate and personable

I took several of Mitchell Snays courses in 2011 and 2012, and still remember many of his lectures. Hands down the best teacher I had in my life. Challenging and passionate, he made my love of history endure.

He's a hard grader (I got a B-) yet one of the best professors I have ever studied with at Denison. Expect to read a lot, but the workload is still manageable. His lectures were really good and enjoyable (provided you read the textbooks).

Comment:

I love Dr. Snay, and his class is great! My only complaint is that his assessments are incredibly picky. Most of the stuff you need to know will be one-liners from the book that you would probably not give a second glance to, so be super careful. He loves history and teaching but I think he forgets that not all of us can be walking encyclopedias.

Favorite teacher at Denison! He is so passionate and the class goes by so fast. While he expects a lot, he makes you want to do well. Definitely take him if you have the option.

Comment:

He LOVES history. His passion makes you pay attention in class. I find that he assigns way to much reading. We use three textbooks on a regular basis and will read a chapter from each throughout the week. He expects you to do your work and all of your work so if you don't tests will be a challenge. Work is managable. Really helpful.

Incredibly challenging, very passionate, and expects a great deal from his students. Not coincidentally, he is one of the best teachers I've ever met.

Favorite teacher on campus. Challenging but fair. His high opinion is motivating to do your best work. By far the best class I've taken at Denison was "Antislavery" 290. Really intelligent, approachable, helpful. Had us to his house for dinner. LOVE MITCH.

One of the best profs. Really expects a lot out of the students and is stingy on grading, but you will come out of the class feeling as if you really learned something.
