Reviews of professor Robert Cross

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Cross is so passionate about the subject of Of Princes and Utopias, making lectures extremely interesting. Only take this course if you love to read and write, the reading assignments are pretty lengthy but definitely manageable. This course is a great way to study philosophy.

I took Professor Cross's Of Princes and Utopias course as an Honors Inquiry. He was incredibly passionate about the topic material and made all the small history details we needed to know very easy to grasp. The course centers around a bunch of philosophy readings from Ancient Greece through the Enlightenment, and you will need to read them all.

Overall, Prof. Cross's lectures were very interesting. It was often a combination of him teaching the historical context of each reading and a discussion about the readings. Course graded only on two papers, a midterm, and final. It is evident that he is passionate about the topic!

Even though I didn't receive an amazing grade, I loved his class. It is obvious that he loves teaching and enjoys his own class. The exams and papers were hard for me. However, I would love to have him as a professor again.

Professor Cross is one of my favorite professors. He's so clearly passionate about the subjects he teaches, and he always happy to talk to students after class regarding any questions they may have about the class content (or even about history in general). The papers and exams are difficult, but if you put in the work, you'll be fine.

This was easily one of my favorite classes I've taken so far due to Professor Cross' passion for the subject and his interesting lectures. If you're at all into history beyond what he discusses, he will have a detailed answer for your questions. Highly recommend this course and this professor.
