Awesome teacher - keeps class interesting. Good student involvement - Impressed by the individual attention - prof remembered the names of most of the student in a class of 160 students. Lots of material - only required two books, one text/one novel. 4 tests with extra credit available. Not too bad if you study material - gave study sheets.

Likes to get to know students. But liked to talk about 9/11 a lot and local sports. The class is really easy and the environment simulates high-school. What more could someone ask for. Re-emphasizing his talks about 9/11, local sports. Don't take his class if you've head enough about 9/11 and local sports.

Good teacher. Makes history interesting. Gives off an air of caring for all students, but in reality is a little fake. Has good intentions though and the class is easy and well informed even though it is large group. Large group instruction scares alot of people away, but it's actually pretty great. Just show up and do the reading he tells you.

Sharp is a nice prof but is very confusing with his notes, tends to contradict himself a lot. Didn't really learn anything.

Professor Sharp is a good person, but definitely lacks as a teacher.

I had Professor Sharp as a Freshman in the fall and spring 1986-1987 School year. He was a great professor and because I did well in his class, he really looked out for opportunities for me. It turned out that we lived in the neighborhood down the street from each other and I would often drop by his home just to chat and hang out.
