Reviews of professor Erik Gellman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lecture was not mandatory but even though this was an 8AM, I loved going to lecture! My TA was also excellent, and the grades/feedback were very straightforward. An A is easily attainable if you put in the work. I wish Prof Gellman offered more classes because I would sign up in a heartbeat.

Prof. Gellman is an extremely nice and knowledgeable professor. HIST 59 requires a lot of papers (5 short papers based on sources, and one final 8-page paper). The papers are graded somewhat harshly. Make sure to avoid passive voice! There is a lot of reading for the class, but discussions were extremely interesting. Recommend for US gen-ed.

Professor Gellman is the GOAT. I am a history major and he is one of my favorite professors that I've taken a course with. He is super knowledgeable about the material and lectures in a way that is easy for anyone to understand, even if you don't have a lot of knowledge on it going in. The final was a take-home paper and you had biweekly papers.
