Reviews of professor Brahm Kleinman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very happy, funny, and enthusiastic, but, he's an extremely hard grader. He really engages with his students, to the extent of learning a majority of them by name (answering people's questions by name in lectures, like a ton of students). He's wonderful but the class itself is difficult!

he's so interactive with his students that it's insane, to the point he calls most people out by name in class when they raise their hand. its honestly admirable how interactive with students he is, so much so that when i called my mom and out loud said "hi mom", he turned around and said hi back, he's great!

Lecture style took some getting used to but once I did I loved him! Very engaging lectures. Really cares about his students even in a huge survey course. His lectures are fast paced/dense which can make retaining the material difficult at first. Sort of demanding for a 200 level but I feel super prepared for future lecture based history classes!

Only good things to say. His lectures are engaging and he genuinely cares about getting to know his students. He is very available for help at office hours. Prompts for essays and final exam were given well in advance so there were no surprises. This was my elective (I'm in science) but it turned out to be my favourite course.

I wasn't super interested in ancient history, but his lectures were interesting and the quizzes/papers weren't too difficult if you skim the readings!

Great professor, this is the second class I've taken with him and he didn't disappoint. Has incorrect opinions about Lord of the Rings, though.

Loved Kleinman and his lectures were always fun but HIST 205 is for sure reading and content heavy. if memorization is not your strong suit (its not mine) the essays are majority of your grade so don't worry. He makes something that has the potential to be quite tedious and boring interesting and you can tell he has a lot of passion for it.

Latin is hard but Kleinman really makes it engaging and fun + makes you want to learn. 
He is accessible and caring, will absolutely take his classes again !

Professor Kleinman is one of the best profs you can get at McGill. He is caring, very invested in his subject and funny as hell. There are a lot of primary source readings which I wasn't the biggest fan of but it's worth it. If you can, take a class with him!!

This guy is literally amazing! He teaches really well, his lectures are always super interesting and he clearly knows a lot about his subject. There are a lot of readings assigned but they help a lot with the understanding of the material. Other than that, I don't think the course is too difficult for an intro class.
