however dedicated to his material, he is an awful teacher. he pokes fun at students for all types of things (academically related or not) and grades extremely low. he also writes the time you finish your test and uses it to affect your grade. aviod him.

just like the other comments--he likes his writing center, but wont budge on grades no matter how much help you get. i dont recommend, but did appreciate his knowledge on the subject. hes a very fascinating storyteller.

Hes the man. Grades fair, just gotta know your stuff. Get to know him and he grades easy. dont whine and you'll be fine

Class was a challenge. Lectures were intense, papers had to be spotless, and his exams were thorough. Dr. Horn is extremely knowledgable and put everything into perspective. Recommended if you can handle it

PLEASE AVOID HIM. Though he knows well his subject, He is an awful grader. He is never satisfy, no matter how much work you put on his class. If you would like to keep a decent GPA RUN AWAY FROM HIM AS FAR AS POSSIBLE.

Very nice guy who is always willing to help students, however it is unfair to students when he uses class time that students pay good money for to platform his leftist philosophies and ideas. HE SHOULD NOT BE ADVISING STUDENTS ON WHO THEY SHOULD VOTE FOR

No matter what u will get a C. this is a boring class and he makes it interesting but its not worth taking if u barely get a C no matter how hard u try.

this man is my dog is shoulda failed his class but he passed me anyway Horn is the shiznit fa shizzle dizzle

This guy is so condescending in an uncondescending way. He realizes he is intimidating. He's very intelligent on the subject but no matter how hard you work he will give you a C. He grades in a range and his re-write policy on papers is ridiculous. Take someone else if you possibly can!!!

Basically, he's the hardest professor you'll encounter in your college career but he's also the best teacher after Gilheany once you get past the extreme liberalism/bias he has on topics. I recommend taking the Intro class sophomore year with a bunch of roots courses. For anything else, I'd only take him if you want to be challenged.

he was great. he's a very hard grader, but if you're willing to go and work with him to improve, you'll do well and he will end up being a valuable resource for history majors in terms of finding internships, etc.

I graduated from MC two years ago and am now currently in graduate school. While i was at MC i took severl classes with Horn and found him to be by far the best teacher i have ever had. He is extremely hard and challenges you beyond your own capapibilities. I learned so much from him and his classes. He is utterly brilliant and extremely helpful

Dr. Horn is by far one of the hardest professors at Manhattan College. If you are not a History major do not take this class and if you cannot work hard don't become a history major because you have to take this class. If you are willing to work, he is willing to help. Just work as hard as you can, and you will learn a ton. Just be prepared.

Dr. Horn is the best teacher at Manhattan College. He is extremely difficult, but his expectations have made me into a better student. You will do a ton of work when you take him, but stay on top of the work and go to him for help and you will learn more from him in one class than you will in all of your other classes combined.

Everyone that says you cannot get more than a C is over reacting. I took him three times and my lowest grade was a B+(he does give As.) Yes, he is difficult but, he is the best prof. at Manhattan College. If you need help go talk to him and he is more than willing to give you advice. Follow his directions carefully and you will get at least a B.

Prof Horn is hands down the best teacher at Manhattan College. He remembered me after the first time I met him. Hes really hard but he really helps and gives tons of chances to improve. If your not satisified with your grade in his class that means that you didnt take the 100s of oppertunities he gives you to revise or proofread in advance

Hardest grader at MC. You will be lost if you miss class. He is very picky about writing. You MUST go to him for help; it's impossible to know what he's looking for. No in-class tests, just lots of reading/papers. Hard to get above a C but I ended up with a B- because I think he felt bad for me...

Quite possibly one of the hardest professors at Manhattan College, but by far one of the best professors I have ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable and is always willing to help his students. His classes are intense but are worth every minute spent. I highly recommend taking one of his courses even if it's not a requirement

His courses are very intense. You pretty much have a paper or a draft due every other week with lots of material to read in between. That being said, he is an extremely knowledgeable man and he helped me improve my writing a lot. The people who said that you can't get over a C are exaggerating. However, it is tough to get an A. Don't skip class.

Amazing teacher, has to be one of the best in Manhattan. Extremely knowledgeable and always keeps the class interesting. Tough grader, but helps you with improving throughout the course.

Professor Horn is a good teacher and a nice guy (for the most part), but when it comes to grading he is ridiculously harsh. Avoid this class unless you want your GPA going into the toilet.

I had Dr. Horn for Intro to History and as and advisor for two accredited internships. I got a B- in ITH at my first semester at MC and received As in the internship electives. He is by far the smartest, most inspirational man I've ever met. He has been a mentor and example to me though out my undergrad and grad experiences. A life changer!

I think that Dr. Horn will meet you at the level you meet him. He is an extremely tough grader, but that is only because he demands the best from his students. He will go the extra mile for your success so long as you do as well. He's has a wealth of knowledge on all things history, but expects you to get your facts straight. Be prepared to work.

Dr. Horn is an amazing professor. I had the privilege of taking him last semester in his 9am class. Although he's a hard grader he's always accessible and willing to help his students. The extra credits really do help you boost your grade up. His lectures are amazing. I am not even a History major but his class was the BEST class I've ever taken.

Jeff Horn is an extreamly passionate teacher, he has a lower grade because a lot of freshman and people who just don't care get left in the dust on his essays. He cared more about education and what he teaches than any teacher I have ever had, I finished with an A- because I went to every extra credit event available and there are a lot.

Dr. Horn is one of the most intelligent people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I won't lie, his class was incredibly difficult, but it changed how I think, and improved my essay writing for all my classes. You have to take notes during his lectures, but his lectures are very interesting. He lets you rewrite papers, gives very helpful advice.

Great professor, great guy, but he is a very tough grader. He was one of the best teachers I have ever had but he gives a lot of work and you have to go to his office hours, but he will give you what you put in and help you out. If your a history major he will be perfect, but your not, like me, then know his classes will be very demanding.

Best lectures ever. Tons of writing, but you'll improve beyond belief. Take if you want to learn not if you want an easy A.

Horn is a teacher who wants to make a difference in the world, and this clearly shows. His lectures are very interesting and mind-blowing at times. However, a lot of reading and work, so you gotta work for it. He is very clear on what he wants, so follow that and discuss your papers with him, here you get what you work for.

Dr. Horn delivered some of the most engaging and interesting lectures I've ever heard. Extremely tough grader with papers though. Definitely send him a draft before submitting papers.

Roots HIST152 did not have any quizzes but lots of papers to write. Amazing lectures though and if you can manage your other classes with his class you'll be on track to never be stressed for the rest of college. Also his office hours are helpful if you need something explained more clearer. Make sure to look at his syllabus for more information!

Dr. Horn knows what he's talking about, and he'll make you know that. Pretty down to earth guy and lectures are about as interesting as History can be. Reading assignments due pretty frequent and assigns massive papers (1400 words). Gives feedback quickly but can be vague. Nice guy, learns names within the first week.

He was a very helpful professor and it was a pleasure to be in his lectures.
