Excellent, Best Teacher By Far at Trent, Absolutely No Complaints here

Advice, take as many classes as you can with this Prof, he's the best :-).

Smart Man, Helpful Man, ....................Excellent Prof

Class is great with Sheinin, should be given an award for best prof. Keep it Up!

Other Profs take a lesson from the best, right here, from Prof. Sheinin

Why can't more profs really teach like this guy does?

Give me structure, boo hoo. Stop whining. Get working. Sheinin is amazing.

Every other Prof at Trent you want to STAB with a pencil, but NOT THIS ONE!!!!

Lots and Lots of work....But glad I took his course. One of my proudest acomplishments was getting through his course.

A+ in all ways!!!! Don't miss a course with Sheinin

Great Guy

xelent

What a bunch of cry babies you guys are. I just graduated last year and still believe that Sheinin is the best thing going at Trent. Hey "D" if your reading this you know who it was from. Prof. Schwietzer is the one you need to be complaining about. The guy makes you want to jump off a building.

This is excellence. This is what university should be.

I would have his babies if he wasn't already married with children... I LOVE the sheinin!

Quick, smart, great -- do this course, do yourself a favour. Excellent course, excellent man.

I bet he wears the fanny pack to hold all his extra SEXINESS!!!

Really nice guy. Helpful and easygoing. He is definitly hot. I enjoyed his classes

Knows a lot, very fair and helpful, too bad he hates to teach. (BTW, the University of Connecticut is VERY 80s...lose the sweats!)

a very good professor

Let me guess... Just get your test back today?

He was average

I can't believe the whiners wimpering away about the class. This was great. Class was full of lazy guys unwilling to work

It was a decent class but he taught nothing and insisted in us using the text he wrote. A lot of it was self-taught. He's a nice guy, but that's about it!

Professor Sheinin is a terrific instructor. Those who have issues with his lecture style, have failed to put in a modicum of effort in the context of required readings. If you are interested in discovering how the world works, take this course.

Great class in all ways. Very serious.

I think the comments here are exagerated. Excellent profesor with lots of strenghts including lecturing style, the way he helps students, how he pressures us to work. Weaknesses are that this course is just too hard for a second year course.

Best course at Trent because it teaches you to write. Too much reading.

Hey Moron... A novel is a work of fiction

Sheinin is a wicked professor. He marks pretty tough but motivates you a lot to work. He forces you to rethink your arguments.

Professor Sheinin is an extremely knowledgeable man with lots to offer academically. If you have difficulty writing in a coherent fashion, take this class and engage with him (as intimidating as it is). However, Do not take this class if you're sensitive. He is blunt and it hurts. There are other professors who are equally as good and are nurturing

I was shocked when I started. This is the toughest guy I've seen at Trent. But I can't believe how much hes helped me. About 2 hours on the phone one afternoon, and more after class next day on my first essay. thank you

I totally disagree with the last review. There is a crowd of lazy complainers who just don't want to do the work. Sheinin is always available and willing to meet with students. I've learned more in 2 months than in my previous year at Trent. Try saying thank you and not whining.

I disagree with the comment stating that Sheinin was not helpful. I took his course a couple of years ago. I was not the greatest student but he helped me a lot. Another career? Have you looked at his CV? He actually publishes, unlike a mass of profs at that university. And as far as nurturing goes, that is not his job. Go to Oprah!

Too bad the Trent culture fosters the sort of bitterness and mediocrity in the last comment. Sheinin's work speaks for itself. I wouldn't even be here if it weren't for his work with me

Amazing class. Took time to talk to me for two hours after my first essay. Wow. Sheinin rocks

bEST teacher at this university. Makes history intresting for once.

Best professor at Trent. To those who complain- Trent has done you a great disservice by brainwashing you into believing that a good teacher is someone who coddles you and caters to your every need. If you're interested in learning and getting the most out of your experience at Trent, take one of Sheinin's classes. Other classes waste your time.

Very helpful, very intelligent. Little unorthodox class style, but well worth taking if you're willing to try it. The only thing I'd like is a little bit more feedback on the essays. Still, no question, this guy is a great prof.

Among top 3 profs I've had at Trent. I'm surprised at the complaints about feedback. I got a bad mark on my first essay. Sheinin was all over it. I met with him 4 or 5 terms during the year and he is the only one who made a difference in improving my writing. Great course.

this guys an amazing lecturer. I dont even know what the last comment means. I took 211. Sheinin doesnt even teach it. youve got the wrong prof einstein!

Amazing class. Prof sets high standards and sticks to them. If people didnt do the work Sheinin called them on it in class. Didt let them go on and on about nothing. Intimidating at first but i learnd a lot.

The best prof. Doesn't expect you to come to class in the middle of march when everything is due. Helps you with any questions. So intelligent it makes you feel intimidated

Amazing prof! Speaks with authority and great style! Take this class

Great prof, willing to help at any time, course was very interesting

If you want to sleep through your class and float through your assignments, don't take this course. Sheinin is tough, serious, and demanding. But you'll leave the class inspired and having learned a whole lot.

Thanks for a great class. first class I've taken when I've really learned something about professional writing. And bonus, a great sports history class.

David was super intimidating in lecture. He is fully aware that he is an expert in his field. His essay topics are self-determined but he is super helpful if you can't pick a topic. GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS he is so helpful and less intimidating one on one. You will get better results out of the class if you go to his office. One essay was worth 45%.

I learned a lot in this class. Wish there was more like it.

A lot of work. But it's the first course I took that incorporated class presentations. Got good at them. You leave the course feeling good about what you've learned and about your writing.

Somewhat intimidating but great sense of humour once u get to know him. Lots of surprise bonus marks available which made a big difference. Was willing to read draft parts of my essay before I had to turn it in. Hard course

Not an easy class. Also don't take it if you don't have a thick skin. This is baseically a class where the prof trains you to do strong presentations and works with you extensively on your writing and analysis. If you want to sleep through it, stay away. If you want to take a class and get something out of university, this is for you.

Why did Trent jump around from Zoom to in class? Crazy. But Sheinin rules.

prof promises to deliver improved skills in writing, researching and public speaking. it's in the syllabus. i like it because the course does just that. plus prof has an excellent knowledge of sports in many places around the world

Thre was a lot of opportunity to do well in this course, but it's work. Lots of bonus marks, inlcuding the chance to write a blog post. The prof said the course can be assessed on whether our skills improve. Mine did, which I haven't seen a lot of in my other classes. I recommend it.

Learned quite a bit from this class and enjoyed taking it.

I thought I deserved a bit higher mark. But I liked the course a lot. Smart man

I had some trouble getting going in this course. Don't take it if you dont plan to attend. He says he'll help students with writing and presenting and he did. I appreciate that and am taking another course with him this year.

Good course. Wish there was more on Mexico, but ok. Handled masking and COVID well.

I never did presentations before in a class. Wasnt sure I'd like this course plus the prof gives critical responses on the presentations. But it worked well. Glad I took the course.

I had stress from the presentation but the prof helped a lot.

This is like a different world from first year. David comes across tough but is very quick in getting back to us and is super helpful outside class in chosing essay topics, presentation work, and other things.

Great teacher bla bla.I really liked this course. Learned a lot about sports. Not woke.

I almost dropped the course but I'm glad I kept it. This is the first course at Trent that taught me how to do a presentation and I learned quite a lot about writing. Thank you.

This is the best course at Trent for learning how to do good research and write properly. This is the first time a professor took me through my written essays to show me exactly where to improve and how to improve. Thank you.

Dude promises that students will get better as writers, researchers, presenters, and so on. He delivers. The course is tough and you have to have a tough skin. He tells it like it is. I found it worth it.

A challenging but rewarding course. The professor has high expectations, but provides helpful guidance. Leveraging tools like Unstuck AI alongside the free course materials really helped me stay on top of the work. Overall, I'm glad I took this course and would recommend it.

I took this course because of reviews on rate professor that said the prof was great at emphasizing writing research and presentation skills. I wasn't disappointed. That's exactly what he did and while it was a lot of work, my mark was higher than I usually get.

I really love the class style, and the assignments were my strong suits. I never took a U.S history course and thought it would be interesting. I struggled with the content without a lot of previous knowledge on the topics. The readings and group work really helped. I struggled on the essay. But it was a great experience and I learned a lot.

I should have had a better mark. AI helped on the second essay.

Amazing prof always available to students

Good course and I was doing very well. But hte prof is a hard ax. The big assignment was due in October. I forgot about it and after, I asked him if I could turn it in anyway. The answer was no. No negotiation. I had to drop. If you take the course, come ready to work way hard
