Reviews of professor Seth Rotramel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Great history professor. Very caring, and willing to work out with you any concerns. Tests were hard. Read, and take close notes at the lecture.

Professor Rotramel conveys the class material clearly and with enthusiasm. Each class was very rewarding because he is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about history. He is very considerate of his students. He guides you on how to do well in his exams and paper, and is always available for office hours. Definitely take his class if you can.

He is one of my favorite professors! So funny, approachable, and makes class fun - which is hard when its an 8am but he somehow manages it! The class is very reading/discussion of readings heavy (total of 7 textbooks read cover to cover!) and you cannot skip the readings so do not take the class if you don't want to read. grading is fair and clear.

I love Professor Rotramel! He is the best and REALLY cares about his students. This class had about 7 or 8 books we read throughout the semester, and we wrote papers on them as well. We also had a 7-10 page final paper about any topic we wanted. He is so supportive and really accessible if you need to speak with him! Ask him about his chickens!

This is the 2nd time I've had Prof Rotramel, and he really is great! He made an 8 am online course very enjoyable. Classes were fairly casual with informative lectures without the pressure of being tested. Reading books rather than articles or txtbook made learning abt the period even more interesting. Very approachable and wants you to succeed!

Midterm 25%, 7-10 page Research Paper 25%, Final 25%, Participation 25%. Read 4 books throughout the semester. Class divided between lectures and book discussions. This class consumed me throughout the semester. Learned so much but the books added up to the other assignments. Professor is incredibly kind and accessible. Highly recommend but tough.

One of the best professors at GWU. Somehow an 8am history class was one of my favorites so far in college. Prof. Rotramel is kind, funny, honest, accessible, reliable, clear with expectations and grades, and wildly knowledgable. Would recommend this class time and time again especially for ESIA hist requirement. All interesting books, no textbook!
