Comment:

Starts class off first day saying no electronics are aloud in his class besides hearing aids and heart pacemakers... he literally has to clarify, EVERYtime, if his questions are rhetorical or not. constantly makes cheesy jokes, then gets mad at the class for not laughing or getting it. Got mad at us for packing up w/ 1 min left & went to next slide

Comment:

Professor Gilje teaches American History pre Civil War. He is very intelligent and I learned so much from him. Many people struggle in the class, but it is easy to succeed if you take good notes. Seriously, write down everything he says. The other trick is to get a good TA. I recommend Matt Pearce if he is still around.

He told our class not to worry if we did not get a good grade on the essays. He said neither the TA's or himself could get a good grade. How does he expect the students to!?

Comment:

I learned so much from this professor!! There was a lot of reading and writing, but his quizzes keep you up to date without rushing you too much. If you pay attention closely in class and do some/most of the reading, it is pretty easy to get a good grade. Tests were very easy to study for using his study guide.

This professor is awesome! Don't listen to the other people that are mad because they couldn't keep up! There's a lot of reading and a lot of writing, but he grades absolutely fairly and one of the most personable professors I have ever met. He even lets you know EXACTLY what will be on quizzes and exams. However, his class is a hard A.

lots of work -acts like its high school-grade suffers from attendance and discussion points-requires you attend an extra day each week on your own time--odd person

Comment:

The way he teaches is not so bad as the way he grades. This was an Honors Perspectives course (Roots of Capitalism), so learning to write papers was a big focus, and a big headache. He graded the papers very harshly, and I felt like he made a big deal out of minor details. This class was one of my hardest-won A's. Go to his office hours!

I liked the class. The lectures are very interesting, you can tell he is passionate about what he does and likes teaching. Tests were easy IF you go to the lectures and take good notes and pay attention. If you do that you will probably get an A.

Comment:

I quit going to class and got a D as a result, but could not stand to spend another day in this man's class. Likes to begin sentences with phrases like, "when I was studying at Brown...", "in my book on mobocracy in America, you learn that..." loves himself, but doubt that many love him. One of those professors who thinks way to highly of himsel

Comment:

Obviously a very intelligent scholar....unfortunately lacking in people skills and very difficult to like. Likes to kick people out of class for sleeping (but does it to some who rather than sleeping are diligently taking notes, but making the error of wearing baseball caps and not having their eyes on him)...good scholar....bad man

A man who doesn't like his power to be tested by students. A classroom control freak. I had no desire to participate in class due to his pompus nature. There was little class to teacher interaction.

He expects a lot but he knows A LOT about his subject. Very intelligent and very fair. You have to read a lot of the supplementary readings though unfortunately. You don't have to read though... take good notes, pay attention in class, and rem. KEY TERMS!
