Reviews of professor Benjamin Schaffer

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
As any history teacher, he's very lecture heavy but he is so fun. His personality makes it so he can relate and have a good time with his students. He's very clear on what we have to know and wants us to do well. I hate history, but enjoyed this class a lot. Would take him again if I needed to.

Very hard for an entry level history class, that is mostly taken by first year students.

The tests are hard for no reason. The final composed of around 75 vocabulary words and the questions are so specific. Personally, I feel as though I gained no overall understanding. Instead he wanted us to memorize specific years of an absurd amount of events. Would not recommend this professor at all.

Professor Schaffer overall made this class interesting and clearly wanted his students to succeed. Criteria for tests and projects are clear. very lecture heavy and readings for homework. if you pay attention and do the work this is overall an easy class.

Don't take if you don't like discussions. lots of extra credit though its hard to fail.
