Reviews of professor Michael Furman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Best professor I've ever had. Very understanding toward mental health and understands that college students are under a lot of pressure. Lots of writing but not a super tough grader. Gives amazing feedback and is very funny and engaging in class. My only criticism is that he takes a very long time to grade assignments. Definitely take him!

Great professor. I did not really like the material but he made it super interesting regardless. Definitely recommend.

Dr. Furman was my favorite professor this semester. He's very intelligent and passionate about mythology, and it's an interesting subject to learn about. We did two shorter essays and one research paper, so there is a good bit of writing, although it was manageable. Our tests were open-note and he does really care about his students.

I took him for Appropriating the Past (HONORS SIGNATURE).

Furman has a good heart. I respect him and his class is very chill. If you do what you're supposed to you'll be in a great spot. He takes a REALLY long time to start grading things but gives extensive feedback usually.

Definitely one of the best professors I studied under my freshman year. He is incredibly qualified in the field of history and archaeology, and is just a good teacher. I am strongly considering taking another one of his courses in the future. 10/10 would have him as a professor again.

If you have the opportunity to take one of his classes, definitely do it. He is very passionate about what he teaches and available to help students outside of class. Very understanding of mental health and always willing to accommodate students. The class is generally pretty easy, but it does help to be willing to participate.

Professor Furman is an incredibly nice guy who clearly is passionate about both the course and students. Although, the class is a lot of work and nothing was graded for months so I never got feedback for future assignments. Do the assignments and you will be fine.

Professor Furman is a great professor! I took CLA2110 and although there were some papers that I felt were useless, they were easy and if you did it, you will get an A. The class is super easy, but he does take attendance. If you're looking for a good prof who is nice AND an easy A, take CLA2110!!

Dr. Furman really was really knowledgable about everything on slides. As an Honors section, he had very clear expectations and would grade based on mistakes and highpoints made on papers or debates. His grading was fair and as a professor he was very comedic and tried to always give helpfu feedback. Just beware that the debates are 45% of grades.
