Reviews of professor Eric Sandweiss

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Eric was super caring and had that old man charm to him. He showed media in class and offered many chances to discuss any questions with him later. He doesn't grade harshly if he can tell you put effort into it and has far more creative writing assignments then what is usually found in history classes. A gentle soul.

He clearly knows what he is talking about and has interesting lectures and slides, and I think his CA grades everything, but seems like a good, knowledgeable guy too. There is a lot of reading, but it is usually interesting and not hard to read. He also has the classic middle ago man sense of humor and made a lot of jokes in class, which I enjoyed.

I took Hoosier History with Professor Sandweiss, VERY interesting course that explores the rich history of Indiana through the lens of many voices and prominent Hoosiers. Lectures are entertaining and many guest speakers were brought in to talk to the class. No attendance is taken. Overall, Mr. Sandweiss is a 10/10

So funny. The TA grades everything and he often makes jokes about it in class. Pretty easy grading criteria and very easy to do well.

You can tell he cares about his work and he practices light humor during lecture. Hes a nice old man, but he only lectures. His slides are almost meaningless, and the exams are hard, unless you have capability to memorize 60 historical figures and events and all the readings he assigns before every class (Its a lot of reading).
