Reviews of professor Jeff Eden

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Eden is a huge asset to SMCMs community. Hes extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his courses. Attendance is mandatory, but you honestly wont want to miss his classes anyway. Hes also done a superb job at navigating online instruction. If you have the opportunity, take Professor Eden!

Without a doubt one of the best professors Ive ever had. Jeff is brilliant and hilarious, and his lectures are so engaging I look forward to every class. If more people were as friendly and genuine as him, the world would be a better place. SMCM is lucky to have him and his passion for history (and Soylent)!

One of the best professors Ive ever had. His lectures are hilarious yet informative, and rarely felt dull. The final paper was straightforward and led to some interesting research. The quizzes and 2 presentations on readings were pretty easy too. There was a terrible group gallery project, though, and we couldnt pick that group. Great overall.

I took both HIST108 and "Russia in the Age of Putin" with Professor Eden, and they were my favorite classes ever. He gives constructive feedback, and his lectures are both memorable and informative. He was encouraging and proud of our progress in written assignments. The work requires a lot of effort and research, but it's more than worth it.

Eden is simply phenomenal, easily one of the best professors I've ever had (if not the very best). I'm not a history major but I signed up for another Eden course anyway. He mixes a lot of humor into his lectures and connects the ideological developments in Russian history to his own personal experiences to help ground the course material.

Eden is a great professor. He's hilarious and gives great lectures. He also embodies the essence of Motel Kamzoil from Fiddler on the Roof in every sense.
