Reviews of professor Erik Gellman

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is a nice guy who is accessible after class and offers some flexibility with due dates. Lectures are well spoken but he doesnt have organized power points so they can be tough to follow. Three essays during semester, graded semi-tough, and two essays as a final exam, which was tough. Recitation attendance and participation is required.

Professor Gellman was amazing. His lectures were informative and the class was graded through a series of smaller essays (3 pages double space each). My TA, Ben Fortune, was the best TA I've had in my time at Carolina. Couldn't recommend this class and Gellman enough.

professor gellman is one of the best professors i've had! i've taken both his hist128 class and his hist365 class. his lectures are incredibly easy to follow, his readings are interesting and engaging, and he's very kind and patient. participation is big, but he's awesome at setting up moments to ask q's. also, his TAs for this class were great!

Gellman is extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter and made having an 8 am really enjoyable. Your TA ultimately makes or breaks your grade but mine was phenomenal and could have honestly taught the class himself. While there are quite a few essays(5 including the two on the final) the prompts are quite easy to write about. No tests or midterm

Dr. Gellman's HIST 365 course was incredibly enjoyable and well organized. There are 3 papers in the class and a paper final, but the class gives great resources for the prompts to the papers. The class teaches you a lot about American labor, and also helps improve your paper writing skills.

He's very well organized and explains concepts and events very clearly. His expectations are clear and he also gives lots of extra credit opportunities that are pretty easy. The grade is based on participation in recitation, 3 two-page essays, and a final essay. Overall great class and if you put in a bit of work you can easily get an A. TAKE IT!

Dr. Gellman is awesome. I took him for Hist 128 and 365. Both great classes. He has done an incredible job making history class engaging, fun, and exciting. Assignments were a bit challenging, lots of papers, overall great class. The southern labor conference hosted this past fall was awesome. I would highly recommend taking his class.

Dr. Gellman is a fantastic and understanding professor. He extends deadlines to help students and clearly cares about them. Lectures are informative and don't feel repetitive. Didn't like that the take-home final is 2 separate papers because there are already 3 others assigned throughout the semester. 5 papers feel excessive for a 100-level class.
