Reviews of professor Noah Kaye

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I took HST140 with him this semester. Aggressive and bad professor. Please do not take his classes but instead take other history classes from different professors. This course ruined my life and my grades.

If you can avoid it, don't take this class. I am a senior and this is the worst professor I have had. his grading scale is the hardest I have seen. He is condescending and you will find it very hard to pay attention in his class. Go to MSUgrades and you'll see more people failed his class than got a 3.5 or above. tests are hard. hw isn't bad.

This professor is incredibly unfair. His tests and assignments are very subjective, and he doesnt do a good job of keeping you engaged in class. His review sessions are not a review at all, and you would be better off not attending them & studying on your own. His study guides for the midterm/ final exams are equally lacking. Wouldnt recommend.

Professor Kaye is really knowledgable and that shows, but his lectures lack any structure, making it hard to follow along, let alone take notes. He looks for very specific things in your short answers and essays, but doesn't tell you explicitly what that is, making it really hard to do well on exams.

I had him for HST 140 class. Do not take his class. His lecture slides contains very less details. His grading scale is very hard. We had to memorize a lot of minor things related to course for the quizzes/exams. I had a bad experience after taking his class.

Great class if you're a fan of Roman history. Not much work involved other than a little bit of writing and a decent amount of reading. Would definitely take another class with Professor Kaye!

Kaye is hard to follow, his lectures are confusing with content, slides, and expectations. The T.A. Zach is the real hero. His recitations are a ray of light to the lectures' darkness and is the person who does literally all the marking, quiz questions, and reading of essays. LOCK DOWN + RESPONDUS MCQ EXAMS, too much stress for this level course.

Impossible to follow and take notes on his lectures due to the amount of tangents he goes on, it was hard to follow what he was saying because of how many times he jumped around on topics. All lectures felt very disorganized and felt like he was making things up as he went. Super difficult final and midterm, and was a very hard grader.

HST140. Kaye is rude and arrogant with students. Kaye loves hearing himself talk, as such his lectures are extremely long and require no participation from students. Towards the end of the semester he refused to answer questions about the final exam. The question, "Does the final exam cover the entire course or the last week of material?". AVOID
