This professor was great. In his honors class, the material was always interesting and it was based around the trading of opinions and debating. I would recommend his classes in a heartbeat. If you're looking for an "easy A," find another professor. If you're looking for an excellent history class, he's your guy.

Nice guy, very disciplined and organized. I truly enjoyed his class. He encouraged class participation. There are no surprises when it comes to exams. He is a no nonsense guy. Turn off your cell phone and you will be fine. The assignments were a breeze. He does not overwhelm you with too much work. I totally recommend him. Naturally I earned an A.

he is a very good professor, he helps you a lot when you need it. he knows what he is doing in his classroom. don't be afraid to take his class.he's really a professional professor.

Excellent professor. If you are looking to be intellectually stimulated, this is the professor for you! If West Civ is not your thing, you may find him to be very dry. Be prepared to WORK for your A! :)

HE IS GREAT PROFF WILL HELP YOU OUT IF YOU NEED & REALLY TRY TO HELP YOU PASS HIS CLASS ITS NOT HARD AT ALL

He is a great teacher. Very nice, organnized and he knows what he is talking about. He hands out copies of midterm content and the final is a take-home. All other tests he gives you can easily prepare for because he tells you what to study ahead of time. I highly recommend him! (Just make sure not to mess withyour phones in class!)

He lives for History! Wishnof is a good prof. Very organized and know his material. He does not like interruptions so don't let him catch you checking your phone. He gives you an excellent review sheet before exams and grades very fair! Do all the reading and it will help to understand his lectures

He doesnt like lateness or texting. But he very laid back in honors course. Gives a paper every week but you answer questions that align with the reading (easy). Attendance is mandatory though, but hand-in assigments and participate its a definite A

Enjoyed the class.

One of the best professors I've ever had. He's very engaging and loves class discussion. As long as you do your reading and assignments the class is a breeze. He's also a really nice guy; really understanding. Just don't text in class. Loved his class so much I took another one of his classes just to have him again.

i had him for 2 semesters of american history and an A in both classes. its easy you take ID quizes which you have the definitions on an index card during the test, write a few 1.5 essays here and there, he drops the lowest three, one midterm and final which both is in class writing two essays just dont be late or make it obv ur on ur phone

Best professor I've had so far, I took him for 2 semesters he was amazing, knows everything, easy grader if you do the assignments correctly, he even offered to write me recommendations when I was transfering, Great guy!

Do the work, read the assigned reading. You will be fine. Participate in class.

Hes a very good teacher knows his stuff. Uses power point to give notes and do the reading in class he assigns for homework. Mid term and final gives you 6 questions 4 that will be on the test and you have to pick two questions and write an essay on each. Thru out semester gives you 8 writing assignments which get annoying, picky graded. Good guy

Keep your cell phones out of reach at all times, and don't be late. thats the only thing about him that he takes very seriously. other than that, he is a good teacher, do your essays correctly, and pay attention in class and you will be fine. He knows his material, and knows how to put on a lecture with a power point.

No lates or cellphones and all shall be well. He is a genius, only eight assignments for the whole semester, and drops 2 lowest grades of them. Be respectful and be involved with discussions. He is pretty cool though, if I could I would take another class with him.

He is a very good professor, very helpful, friendly and very enthusiastic about his teaching. May seem very strict and overwhelming but as the semseter moves on it gets better. He is very intelligent and he is generous when it comes to pushing off assignments for later. Great guy.

Took his Modern History class instead of Western Civ 1/2. Do the readings when he assigns them, take good notes in his class from the powerpoints, and study for the quizzes and essays. Lets you use a notecard for them! Very easy to understand, great professor. Learned a lot in his class.

Easiest summer class! No midterm or final, only 4 essays and 4 quizs with the information for them given to you from day one. His only strict policy is not to be late. I recommend this professor

take home final! but midterm wasn't and was graded harsh. but a good guy, great class, a few short papers. i would take him again

Passionate about his teaching!! Everything a Professor should be. Highly recommend.

Took his american history class. Definitely knows what he is talking about. I would take him again, very fair teacher.

Professor Wishnoff is an excellent teacher who has strict rules on cellphones in the classroom but what teacher wouldn't have that. He's a nice guy and is good at thinking of anecdotes that refer to the movies seen in class. There's an essay for every set of study questions that he gives as homewrok assignments and Final is pretty easy too.

This professor is an extremely knowledgeable man. He definitly loves history. However, his lectures are ridiculously dry. almost as if he is speaking to himself. His powerpoints are good, but he talks a lot after each slide and gives sooo much info that is not on the slide. I found it difficult to stay awake in his class.

Professor Wishnoff is a great professor. Requires brief essays and quizzes with no mid term no final. He drops the lowest grade. Very important to avoid the use of cell phone in his class. Overall great professor. Highly recommended.

This summer class was a complete joke. 4 written exams, and 4 vocabulary quizzes with 3x5 note card. He drops the lowest test grade of each class. Attendance is mandatory and he will fail you if you miss more than two classes. Also, he will kick you out if he see's you texting during class. Go to class, prepare for exams, easy A

He is a super easy professor! On the quizzes he lets you use an index card with any info you need. He loves what he does and that makes it all the better!! Make sure you ask and answer his questions!

He is a very nice individual for as long as you do as what many other professors ask you to do, be considerate, contribute, don't be disrespectful and pull out your cell phone, and look as interested as possible. He is very passionate toward history so much so that he makes himself smile. One of the most unique professors in regards to schoolwork.

Very easy class, all you have to do is show up and do the homework. All tests you can yous a index card on and you write a total of 4 essays. Super easy, show up and prepare for your tests, easy A.

Dr. Wishnoff is an EXCELLENT professor. He was very kind and always spent extra time with me whenever I would ask for help. I would say he's a must take. His quizzes are easy.

I had him twice because this is the easiest class ever. 4 essays to write (page and half) and 4 vocabulary quizzes. He drops the lowest grade from each. so if you do well on all 3 essays u do not have to write another and viceversa with vocab. He lets you use a cheat sheet for vacb test. Index card! Hes so funny! Highly recommended!

3 different books required for class, requires like five sets of study questions plus an essay for each. Very accommodating when I didn't have the required book yet. Attend class!! The only reason I didn't get an A was probably because I was late a few times. Work hard, attend class, and I don't see how you can fail this class.

Great teacher, goes over all the details of the lesson. Goes over the test and gives you an index card to write notes on for test. He's a pretty easy teacher

I loved him! You do have essays but they are based on opinion and what ever you based it on in the book. The quizzes- you get a list of 20 terms before hand and he picks 10. You can use a 3x5 index card with as much information on it as you can fit. He also does accents when he talks. There is no reason anyone should fail this class.

4 quizzes, 4 essays, drops lowest on each. Index card are used as a cheat sheet for quizzes which are practically vocab. He gives 10 words for us to study and write for index card he'll only choose 5 and you only have to write about 3. Essays, gives 3 topics an essay only need to do one. From first day of class you'll have all the words and topics

He's a great professor. The first day of class he gives you everything you're going to need to do for the rest of the semester. He also has everything set up on blackboard.

He is a great teacher i would totally take him because his lecture aren't boring. You only get 4 essays and 4 quizzes. The ID Quizzes', you will use an index card. Overall, an amazing teacher. If you pay attention, and don't use your phone during class. You will be fine.

I'm currently in Prof Wishnoff's class. He's a nice guy and is willing to help you if you ask for help. 4 ID quizzes and 4 essays, drops the lowest quiz grade and essay. You can use a 3X5 index card to help you with ID quizzes. He does NOT like cellphones so don't take them out or even look at it. Pay attention to his lectures and study!!

He's very smart but tough I would take him again because he's good but after a quiz sometimes you have to make him read it again and usually the grade will change if u talk to him he's tough and strict if u pay attention you will be ok

Amazing professor! He is really funny and his lectures are pretty interesting. He is willing to help you during his office hours and at the end of the class. Participation matters and he assigns questions of the lecture for homework. His class can be really essay if you do what he tells you to do. Would take him forever if I could! Good Luck :)

I am a biology major and I absolutely hate history. I was just taking this class to fulfill a requirement. I loved his class and teaching style so much, I'm signed up for his class again next semester. There is a decent amount of work but if you hand everything in there's no reason you shouldn't get an A. He's the professor everyone hopes to have.

Very well organized professor. He tells you up front what you'll be getting for the semester. 4 essays, 4 quizzes, Tells you what will be on the quizzes before hand and let's you bring an index card. He is very knowledgable, he's funny but not the funniest I've ever had, but DO NOT interrupt Nikki lecture and NEVER pull out your phone!

I'm a history major so this class was my favorite from the start, not many like history. He requires 3 textbooks(to be honest they touched my hand a few times), and mostly lectures. His lectures are straight forward and simple, gives 4 quizzes and 4 essays. The essays are easy and if you get a bad grade, talking to him will make it go up. Take it!

He gives 4 quizzes (which you're allowed to write notes on a notecard for and he gives you the questions) and 4 essays. He drops your lowest quiz and essay grade. You need all three books, no getting around it. If you put in the work, its def possible to get an A! To get the answers, you need to read the text so focus on what the question is asking

i'm not majoring for history but i did need to take his class to fulfill the requirements. He is an amazing professor! Took him for two history classes. He is a great story teller and makes American history very interesting! His method of teaching is one of the best. Keeps it simple and straight to the point and the work isn't bad at all

I took him twice now not because of the work, but because his lectures are amazing and very knowledgeable. He not only makes them interesting, but he gets into character. He gives 4 quizzes and 4 papers a semester and gives you the topics on the first day. You have a lot of time to do them. I would definitely recommend taking him!

I love professors like Professor Wishnoff because he doesn't make the class complicated or hard to pass. If you do the work and keep up with the homework you will do very well! Make sure you take advantage of the quizzes and short essays, they really bump up your grade! His lectures are very interesting too.

He has really started to grow on me as a professor. The work he gives is fairly easy. No homework, quizzes that are allowed one flashcard, and two "brief" essays. He is funny once you get his sense of humor but can be snarky. Overall he is great

I really enjoyed the course. Prof was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Wishnoff is the best!! Hes super funny, laidback, and always told us weird stories related to what we were learning. His lectures were always interesting and informative. I heard others say hes a harsh grader but I got A+s on all the assignments. Theres only 4 quizzes and 2 essays, and as long as you take good notes youll be fine.

Has a weird sense of humor but if you do what is asked of you youll pass easily. He gives you everything you need to complete the assignments without a problem, too.

Best Professor Ever. Read and Write!

if you don't to read DO NOT Take his class, besides that you can take an index card with notes for exams. 4 exams based on 5 topics he selects out of 10 initial topics. 2 MAJOR papers, papers are 40 % of the grade, he give feed back on the papers make sure you fix them if you want to get a passing grade. easy class but some work is required to pass

Great guy. Got me thru. Hes really a good guy at heart and doesnt make it too hard for us

He's such a great professor! Gives you an index card for each test to write information on. Easy A if you use the index card and write the papers! He's also very nice and tries to have a sense of humor so laugh at his jokes! Totally recommend!

This prof is a chill guy. he lets u bring in index cards for exams just don't use online stuff for his class or it won't count!! I would take him again for another history class

Kept us calm during a lockdown. His tests aren't hard but they're def not a piece of cake either so make sure to study and use the index cards he allows for tests. He can also be a bit of a tough grader at times. His lectures were quite interesting and very funny! He's good at keeping his students engaged as well. Cool guy overall!

Professor Wishnoff is one of the better teachers in the history department. His class is by no means hard, you will have three 25 question multiple choice exams, and 3 essay tests. For both of these you are able to bring in an index card, and the class before is a review session. There is no hw, or out of class papers.

Wishnoff gives interesting lectures. You are graded by essay tests which he gives you the questions for on the first day of class so you have plenty of time to prepare. He also gives multiple choice tests which he gives you the questions for the day before the test. Lastly you are allowed an index card with notes on it for all of these assignments.

Great prof. He really wants you to succeed. The essays r easier than the MC imo cause I write my whole thing on the index card. The extra credit is insane, it's up to 20points on your overall grade. entire semester was out of 111 points. Take him, you should do fine if you do the index card. Essays 12pt MC 25pt.

If you go to class and put in some effort, you'll get an A. His 101class is 3short essays with 3questions that he goes over with you in class.The final project is either an oral history (easy) or an essay on the 1 book you read in class.He's nice& tells funny anecdotes.He teaches concepts,doesn't require you to memorize dates/names.

I took this course online, to succeed be prepared to read, take detailed notes from lectures and textbook. Actively participate in discussion post for the best outcome. Listening to the lectures before reading helped enhance my understanding of the material and made the reading more engaging and easier to follow. Overall, an excellent professor.

Professor Wishnoff is an incredible teacher. I'm still currently taking his course, but I couldn't wait to leave a rating. His teaching style is super engaging & draws you in. Until him I wasn't aware film and history could connect so seamlessly. I have a new appreciation for history and professors who are so passionate about what they teach. 225

Consists of 3 written exams and 2 multiple choice tests which he allows you to use an index card to bring to class. I would just write the essay on the index card in order to get a good grade. His lectures were boring at times but were useful for writing the exams. I would take him again.

Good professor, lectures were boring sometimes but really interesting. Get ready to read towards the end of the semester. 3 take home exams which were easy and one big project at the end, either oral interview or essay on the book.

There was never any homework, just essays which were simple. Reading is done in class, he does call on people. There's one required book but the PDF can be found online. He was super chill and lenient, I would recommend him to everyone.
