Reviews of professor Eric Rutkow

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
His midterm and final are intense, but he gives you all the material you need to succeed. But you will seriously need to study. I strongly recommend taking notes in his class and while it is lecture-heavy, you can tell he is passionate and knowledgable about what he teaches. He has absolutely amazing credentials too.

Class is super straight forward, three online quizzes that are easy, a midterm, and final. Make sure to note which slides have maps on them especially the CIA operations. You'll need to know them for the tests.

The final isn't multiple choice. Just doing the reading isn't enough. You need to know who said what and it's hard to keep it straight. Classes themselves are fine but if you don't show up you'll be lost. He doesn't post the powerpoint ahead of time. They're not deep enough to teach yourself just off of the powerpoint anyway

An excellent professor. Plus the stuff on him being rude is misinformed, at best. Slander at worst. He's very gung-ho about what he wants. He's informal and everything, and you can ask him about anything. He's a good man. I would take him again. Be ready to work hard though and hit it hard, but if you do the readings and assignments you'll be fine.
