Reviews of professor David Racker

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This professor is a complete misogynist who denies the continued oppression of women and has admitted to objectifying women. He also picks on students and will call their name continuously in the hopes of intimidating them. If his class wasn't a requirement I would drop it immediately: he is an argumentative bully.

I took IH 1 with professor Racker. I came in with the understanding that IH is supposed to be easy, however, I had more assignments from him than any other class. There were a lot of discussion boards which seems normal, but then he wants you to come to a consensus as a group which is inefficient in an asynchronous online class.

I read all the books thoroughly but most people didn't and did fine. There's a short one question quiz at the beginning of each class based on the last notes & that's how he takes attendance. Weekly discussion posts, two papers, 4 shorter papers, and everyday in class discussions. Super easy class even if u do the bare min. & I loved Racker.

He assigns so much work its actually ridiculous. I have done more homework in this class than in any other class. If you want to waste your days away doing mindless assignments Dr Racker is the one for you.

I loved this professor and he made IH a positive, enjoyable experience for me. I was not interested in ancient literature, but Dr. Racker got the class involved in engaging discussions. There is a significant amount of homework and assignments, but they were all manageable and quite easy. I enjoyed this class and am taking him next semester for IH2

I've seen a lot of mixed reviews about professor Racker, however I loved his class. Although his humor was hard to get used to, by the end of the semester I was excited to come to class everyday. Professor Racker engages in a lot of in class discussion which makes it super easy to understand the content of this course.

I did not like Proessor Racker at all, he is very sarcastic, oversteps, somewhat rude. If you do not work well with sarcasm don't take him. His class is pretty hard for a gen-ed, overall 0/10 do not take him!!!
