He's a solid choice. Not the easiest professor- you have pop quizzes almost weekly and his exams aren't the simplest- but he cares and will help you get a great mark. Good choice.

wow most caring and understanding professor. Had him during the pandemic... gave so much extra credit because he clearly really wanted his students to do well, made getting an A sooo easy. gave a quiz once a week so you had to check in during class time. 2 tests with review sessions. I wish there were more professors like him!!!!

Comment:

I loved how the course was organized in a way where we have almost all semester long to prepare for one big research paper. Some of the reading assignments however weren't really helpful and even now, I can't recall or remember how it was significant to the course. But overall, I loved the class and the grading criteria is very clear.

The course was a pleasant experience and Professor Remy did very well in improving our knowledge of interpreting history, stimulating class discussion, and how to prepare our essays. Unfortunately, some of the reading material was not directly helpful to the course and for our future assignments. Good effort good grade

This professor was awesome. If you sit in his class, take good notes, you don't even need the textbook. I didn't even buy it. His pop quizzes are super reasonable, no hard questions, completely based on the readings he assigns. The readings will take approximately an hour to read. TAKE HIM!

Comment:

Remy is an extremely reasonable and good man, I don't really have anything bad to say about him. He gives unscheduled quizzes that our around 5 multiple-choice questions which are based on homework, which is mainly reading. Having said that you need to show up and read for every class. His tests and quizzes are not hard if you read.

He's an amazing professor but a tough grader. You need to show up to class because he gives pop quizzes weekly. Quizzes are based on the readings he assigns on the syllabus. His lectures are boring so get ready to fall asleep once in a while. The exams are hard so make sure you get all the notes and study weeks before the exam.

He knows his stuff and is enthusiastic about teaching but the material is boring. A bunch of reading every week and a pop quiz almost every week. If you enjoy reading then this class will be fine for you.

Comment:

MUST TAKE GOOD NOTES BASED ON WHAT HE SAYS, POSTED POWERPOINTS ARE NOT ENOUGH! I wish I knew from the start; you'll need the notes for midterm and final. Pop quizes based only on the assigned reading for the day. Kind and fair, no curve. Come to him during office hours for things you didn't catch in class, or review for the midterm and final.

Remy is cool. Go to class, do the readings, you'll be fine. If you skip class, you'll miss the quizzes and have no idea what is going on. Puts all power points online, tests are straight forward.

Comment:

The best history professor at Brooklyn college. Yes there is a lot of reading but it is a history course so you shouldn't surprised. He gives weekly quizzes to ensure the reading is done which always motivated me to have it done. He is extremely smart and loves his job which makes class very enjoyable. Take his class, you won't regret it!!!

I have mixed feeling about Prof. Remy. Personally I believe that he is genuinely a very nice person. As a student in his undergrad history course, I was left to desire more. I had read great review and had very high expectations. 2 much reading, without clear and constructive direction, lectures are bazaar (open discussion). Inconsistent grading

Comment:

After reading the reviews, I was very reluctant to take this class. The lectures are really important and he is really knowledgeable about this topic. So although, I didn't read all the readings i was still able to do well on Midterm paper. I don't think he is as tough a grader as others have made him out to be.

This is one of the best professors I have very had in my entire college career. At first he scared me and I was overwhelmed at the amount of books we had to read, but I tried as hard as I could to keep up and ended up doing way better than I thought. I haven't received my grade yet, but it is going to be either an a or b for sure.

His class is interesting but you may fall asleep once in a while. He basically gives a quiz every couple of classes, a midterm, and a final. The exams are a bit tough so you must study, not the night before the exam, doesn't work. There is a lot of reading but overall, a smart professor that I recommend.

He is a very smart guy he knows a lot and his lectures are interesting. I liked the class but he is a tough grader. My first paper I got a c+ and I realized I would have to work a lot harder to get a good grade. He also doesnt give good feedback and he took really long to give us feedback on our midterms. He is helpful, he reads rough drafts and

I have mixed feelings about Remy, on one hand he's really sweet and knows a lot but he would off so much in class that my notes were all over the place. He's clear as to what he wants and I think if there weren't 120 students in the class I would love it a lot more. Tough grader but great guy.

He is awesome! If you need help, ask for it and he will definitely work with you. I have him for two classes this semester & am taking him again next semester. Be prepared for pop quizzes (typically one per week) just do the readings and you will do well!!! Love him!!!

He is simply amazing! His lectures are so interesting and deep, that sometimes i wonder whether i should major in history. Get ready to read, he has a lot of quizzes, unannounced. If you do the reading, you will do great. I highly recommend him!

Comment:

I took this class over 2 yrs ago. At the time, I was too frustrated and exhausted to realize what I was getting. Turns out I learned a hell of a lot more than I thought. You walk away from this class with knowledge and intellectual power. This class is worth taking! P.S. I was a Graduate Student.
