Reviews of professor Samuel Casper

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof. Casper is a brilliant lecturer and obvious knows his stuff with regards to his content area. He does, however, hold you to the same academic standard as he holds himself which can be a bit tough.

He's a tough grader, but his feedback is generally comprehensive. He does take a while to give papers back though - up to 2 months in some cases.

he's not that great of a lecturer, he's unorganized with time and always runs out and ends up rushing the lecture which makes it less interesting and doesn't even allow you to use laptops in class for documents that he requires u to read. instead u have to print them all and bring them to class. he makes u complete journal entries by 8pm lol.

No cap all filter-- I loved Professor Casper. I cannot at all understand the negative reviews below. Not only is he exceptionally brilliant, he's caring, funny, and just overall such a great professor. Please take his class.

He grades WAY too harshly. The readings are interesting, but he assigns way too many of them.

He's a great lecturer but a really hard grader. The way he grades can be very unfair. He also doesn't tell you the material that will be on the test, therefore you have no idea what to study for. He gives a lot of different readings, documents, textbook readings twice a week.

Professor Casper is unique in the sense that he holds his students to the same expectations that he holds himself. He is a harsh grader, and he assigns a lot of reading, but he expects you to work smart and not hard. Take his class if you want to be a better historian and get a good grasp of history as a discipline, not if you want an easy A.

Great teaching. If you are expecting a decent grade without being SUPER thorough and agreeing with him good luck. Feedback would be great if you have time to review and adjust your notes for the next paper. However he gave us back our first paper a week before the final one was due. Agree with everything he says in yr paper if you want to do well.

Casper is a great lecturer. While the other reviews are true in that he does grade harshly, it's rare that those grades are not justified. He provides ample comments on papers (and *lots* of opportunity to discuss with him) and plenty of material to draw off. Passionate about his subject area, and clearly knows his stuff.

One of the best professors at Hunter. You must take his class!
