Reviews of professor Eran Zelnik

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I would say very average history teacher some say he is bad, some like him and I would say that is accurate. Some key points are there are 2 movie assignments and midterm and final. It is true you are given the prompt beforehand before those so very easy. They are quizzes every week (imo not very hard). If you can't do lectures, skip this teacher.

Eran Zelnik is clearly very intelligent and knows a lot of information. He does not give a lot of homework (unless you actually do the reading he assigns) just an online quiz every other week. The only real issue is his lectures are extremely boring and he is a little spastic sometimes but if you dont mind that then this class isnt that awful.

Professor Zelnik was very clear with his lectures and expectations and was very enjoyable to listen to in class. His midterm and final were very fair and he prepared the class extremely well for it. Overall I truly enjoyed his class and definitely would recommend his class for History.

Zelnik's history class is so easy. Homework consists of one quiz per week on the chapter from that week and 3 movie assignments. Midterm and Final is so easy because he gives you the possible essay prompts ahead of time and just randomly chooses what one he uses day of. His lectures are very easy to follow and informative. 10/10 would recommend

Lectures consist of him rambling all over the place and don't correlate with the textbook readings. Movie assignments are a joke, provides little to no structure or direction for the paper, and allows 400 characters max to talk about three chapters worth of material plus relating to the movie, then proceeds to grade the paper extremely tough.

Zelnik approaches history from different angles to help students understand the significance of context and how it can influence the perception of an event in history. This class consisted of 7 precise related to the assigned textbook, but students can choose which reading to turn in. Other than precision there was two papers that make your grade.

If you can learn by listening to over an hour of rambling lectures, then you might do well, but if not then choose a different prof. The grade book is made up of a few written tests and essays that will make or break your entire grade and a few quizzes that don't do much to help balance the huge assignments. He also assigns a TON of readings.

Spring 24: His lectures are ok ig, but the problem is that he gives waaay to much time to students to give their opinion, they would ask some stuff that was already said and most of the time it was just him talking with the student for almost the whole hour. Youll have to work with a group in almost every class bc of the in class-assigments.
