Reviews of professor Gregory Feldman

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Professor Feldman is overall a good professor with a unique syllabus for his assignment. Took me a while to understand the format. But once understood I would definitely recommend. There are no PowerPoint slides and you have to write a lot of notes for his class. However, the midterm exam questions where based on week six and nothing else.

The class structure was confusing and no one, including the TA/GAs, seemed to know what they were doing. Grading was subjective and there was no rubric given to justify our grades. The entire class was a matter of trial-and-error and lectures that had nothing to do with the textbook.

Dr. Feldman is very knowledgeable and engaging. He knows a great deal about migration, nation states, and sovereignties. This was a Master's level course and I learned so much. You have to read the assigned readings, otherwise, you won't pass and won't understand the lecture. I found Feldman to be very charismatic and professional. He cares a lot.

SACR 4210 is a fourth-year class that barely prepares you for the workforce. Dr Feldman is a lecture heavy professor and expects you to participate heavily for only 5%. The class consist of four assignments worth 15% that have nothing to do with getting a job and a take-home exam that is not really needed for the workforce. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

Lectures are interesting but sometimes a lot to take in. Being able to rewatch lectures was a huge help, as well as open book midterm and final for the online sem. I loved Greg's book recommendations and his course left me excited to continue with critical social science work. Have an open mind, read all readings ahead of class and ask questions!!

Basically, Dr Feldman gets paid over $100,000 a year to treat his student like garbage. This is ridiculous! Students pay $7000-$10,000 a year to learn from their professors. Not be treated like trash.

This professor does not know how to properly instill his knowledge onto his students. Even if you do attend his classes (which is required for the final exam), you won't come out of that class knowing much (if anything) more than when you came in. Even if students don't understand diddly squat, he will brush it off and blame the students. DONT TAKE

Horrible. Course material is easy, exam and class structure set up the student for failure.

Avoid him like the plague. Lectures are absolutely massive and zero slides are posted online or in the class, he just talks. You have an hour and a half for the exams for 4 massive essay questions that set up the student for failure. The actual course work is easy, this professor intentionally makes it difficult. Do not take this dude's class.
