Reviews of professor Max Mishler

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
not very accessible outside of class

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I know prof Mishler was dealing with some family health issues this semester so please take that into consideration. However, the course was disorganized, confusing, there was no clear grading criteria, and he assigned SO MUCH READING. It was impossible to access him outside of class. Also, it felt like more of a philosophy than a history course.

Professor Mishler is one of those amazing History profs where he explains points in history from multiple perspectives and highlights the pros and cons of topics in such a beautiful way. One of the best history profs I've ever had at U of T.

Pretty easy, not a lot of writing, would recommend

One of the best professors I have ever had at UofT! I never cared about American history before taking his class; he's inspired me to take more and perhaps even pursue it for grad school. Lectures were always so interesting, he really knew how to engage the class. Also very approachable, so asking for help was never an issue. 10/10 would recommend!

Prof. Mishler clearly knows what he is talking about and is very passionate about what he teaches. The lectures are easy to understand and although they cover a wide range of topics, they are still easy to understand. Lot's of readings but they are honestly interesting. The assignments are not too hard either.

Professor Mishler is probably one of the best professors at U of T. He's just straight-up a great teacher and has a clear gift and passion for history. I've also never had a boring lecture in one of his classes. Give this man a raise and a better classroom to teach in because he 100% deserves it!

I wouldn't recommend the course, it didn't feel like a history course at all

Prof Mishler is amazing! He really cares about his class and was willing to push deadlines for the entire class. He is a great lecturer and fun to talk to in office hours. I will be taking his classes again. If you need to take a history course take it with him!

The course was disorganized; there were no clear grading criteria and irrelevant assignments.

Prof Mishler taught HIS271, US history is super loaded and can be quite controversial if taught incorrectly. Professor Mishler teaches and explains concepts from many different perspectives and makes them clear and accessible. His lectures are loaded but are filled with fascinating concepts. Would recommend this course and him as a prof!
