Reviews of professor Paul Strauss

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Fr. Strauss is a great professor although there are three exams, 11 discussion questions he has one dropped. He also has two book journals and is so easy to talk to. It may seem like a lot of work which is but for the most part the readings and work is easy to do. His lectures are easy to follow along and he is such a helpful professor. Take him!

Recommend this Professor. He teaches his class well and certainly knows his stuff. The class is mostly lecture based with 3 3pg essays and 2 5pg essays (midterm/final) plus 10 short assignments. Class is reading heavy with 4 books plus the readings for short assignments. 3 of the books you write short essays on and last is optional extra credit

Dr. Strauss is an excellent professor. His lectures are clear and collected and cover everything in a succinct manner. He seems to really enjoy what he does and is very knowledgeable. As with any history class be prepared for a lot of reading, but they are usually interesting enough to keep you engaged. He is also easy to contact and responds quick

Be prepared for a heavy workload. Assigns a lot of reading assignments and essays. Tough grader when it comes to formatting because he wants every small detail his way. He required students to buy novels we barely used. I would try to avoid taking this professor unless your seriously passionate about history.

This was a great professor. He was caring & understanding of student needs during this time. Gave out a good amount of readings but they related to the class which was good. Overall, I learned a lot about the Renaissance and Reformation in his class. You could tell he knows his stuff and his lectures were always good. He wants his students to pass

Prof. Strauss is an excellent teacher. His lectures were clear, interesting. He knows his stuff and cares about his students (a total dreamboat). He does assign a fair amount of reading and writing but grades fairly. He was also happy to help and answer any questions, even about other classes! I would highly recommend.
