He was one of the best teachers I have ever had! The classes are interesting and he is clear in his lectures. Exams are long, but he prepares you well.

Good guy.

Extremely helpful, always available and very flexible. Prepares you well for the exams, which are long. Lectures are very clear, and notes are easy to take down.

One of the best prof at Con U. He is approachable but does not tolerate ignorant or slacking students. If you go to class and listen, you'll do well. Knows alot about Candaian politics and Quebec relations

great guy, very approachable and helpful. One of the most interesting 2 hour courses i've ever taken. Great class atmosphere as well. Prepares you well for exams with study sheets.

He is seriously the best teacher i've ever taken

Really engages the class into contemporary debates that truly affect canadian society. excellent prof. humorous too

Let me make up a midterm without a doctors note or anything. I simply told him i forgot and i was serious!

great teacher, very clear/helpfull

Mr. Hershorn is a great prof! He's one of a kind, and will always be one of Concordia's top lecturers.

Great Prof. Helpful and interesting

Passionate in the love of teaching. Very helpful to students needs. Well prepared. Made an 8:45 AM class intersting and stimulating. Great teacher! Real human being.

this guy is very easy. i did not do any work, and i never took much notes. i studied one day before each exam and i got a b-. for those who do no work take him. as for those who are crying about how he treats us like kids, why don't you all go take the harder profesors...

great guy, great teacher, knows alot and is exttremely helpfull.

Hershorn is a great prof. I was never bored in this class. He uses a ton of overheads, videos, and power point presentations. He's very organized and clear. He's a different kind of prof and if you have the chance to take him, do it. An inspiring man. A midterm, paper, and final.

The class is reasonably interesting (good audio-visuals) and the readings are decent. As others have written, he isn't very academically rigorous, so it's an easy class, but he's nice, helpful, clear: there's just no possibility of confusion in a class this easy.

Thanks for boring the crap out of me for 3 hours and yet on FRIDAY. I could have skipped class for 3 weeks and he would still be talking about the same stuff. Exam was a joke, I honestly didn't read the book and my ****ting was sub-par for this exam. Take him if you want an eassy class!!!!!!

very intresting teacher probably the best teacher i ever had. easy exams and tells you what to study, there are no surprises in his exams. also his classes are very intresting as well.

His enthusiasm for the subject makes one want to learn. He is a good teacher in the way that he enhances discussion for subjects and allows the class to formulate opinions and views, leading them to learning about the issue. Essay-style exams, 1 paper plus an understanding teacher - His class is interesting.

Amazing teacher. His class made me switch my major. He is so enthusiastic about the material that he makes you want to learn. Although he can never work the a/v equipment, his classes are well organized with a lot of variety-movies, overheads, lectures etc. And the course material is totally relevant stuff that veryone should know. Awesome prof.

Professor Hershorn is a great professor! He has very good sense of humour, and has lot of patient with students, and is always willing to help. As a new poli science student, I leanrnt a lot from his class!

He makes the class very interesting, he related eveything to the real world. He know the material really well, and not a hard grader.

Nice guy, not too bad of a class. Thinks too highly of feminism and defends women too much. take this course its pretty fun

Very passionated and committed professor whose teaching encourages the student to think outside of the Academia box; a course whereby teaching also means questioning the generally accepted western discourse

Very good prof. Clear and interesting lectures. Also among the most helpful profs i have ever known.

Great teacher and easy marker. The subject is easy and has interesting lectures to attend as well. It can get a little long and sometimes boring but as long as you attend classes you will pass.

Even if he doesnt have a Phd and he's a part timer, this teacher is what a college teacher should be!Give good classes, nice presentation and take the time for his students. A real class act teacher!

He is one of the most caring profs I ever had. He lectures are well organized and extremely interesting. Exams and paper are very fair, along with his grading.

He's a fantastic professor- knowledgeable, kind and very approachable. Knows his stuff. Allows students to speak their minds. He's an easy grader. Attend classes and you should be fine. Class notes are pretty much all you need, to be frank. Don't bother buying the textbook- a major waste. I'm taking him next semester for SURE!

He is the best teacher ever. The best part of this is that he likes showing us videos. He is also very helpfull and understanding. I strongly recommend any of his classes.

This is a great person/prof. Very helpful. His lectures are interesting with guest speakers, lots of overheads. His material is very clear. Wherever possible, I will take his courses. Strongly recommended. Not difficult. But if you don't do the readings, you will not do well. A midterm, paper and final.

wonderful teacher so sweet.....if u go to class and keep up with the readings ull do fine...hes amazing!! easy grader!

Marvin is a great prof. The class was always interesting, great use of visual aids, videos and news clips. The class is chalenging and definitly not easy but if you do your work you'll learn a lot. It was a great class to put the French/English Quebec debate into perspective and current political issues.

Easy and very interesting class, reading book required and will guarantee you a good grade. Teacher is very helpful and always gives how exams are oranized and what to study. Highly recommend for gen ed. course

Mr. Hershorn has heart and wit about him. In all the teachers I came cross, he goes in the hall of fame, for one of the best teachers out there that actually cares.

Professor Hershorn is approachable, helpful and his class was organized and quite stimulating. Students are encouraged to engage in case studies and guest speakers add an interesting dimension to the theoretical aspect of the course. I am looking forward to taking another class with this very fair Prof.

Honorable and good man. Heed no attention to what some people have negatively portrayed him to be, he is a great teacher, and although he may seem disorganized, he knows what he is talking about. Yes, sometimes he errs, but he is human. Only class in Concordia that is interactive, and has guest lectures.Outstanding teacher.

Very nice man, good prof, overheads sometimes disorganized and difficult to understand, but he makes it quite clear what will be on the exams. Knowledgable about subject matter and very approachable.

Probably one of the best professors i have had at Concordia. Lectures and course material are extremely interesting. He is well organized, and prepares you well for the mid-terms and finals with clear overheads and exam reviews. He was always willing to help out with any questions i had, and made himself available whenever necessary.

He is the best professor, VERY VERY helpful, makes the materials extremely interesting. Also very helpful if you need letters of recommendations.

Marvin Hershorn is a fantastic teacher. He uses lots of media to bring Canadian Politics to life as well as everything else he teaches. He makes Canadian politics appear very interesting- not an easy feat. He literally tapes clips from his TV and brings them in so that he can break it down for us in class. His classes are a must.

Professor Hershorn is one of the most helpful and sincere lecturers at Concordia. He clearly has a passion for politics and that passion shines through in his lectures. Highly recommended. Exams are straightforward. Definitions and simple essay-type questions. Gives a lot of choice on exams. Class attendance mandatory for final only.

Professor Hershorn is one of the most excellent Professors at Concordia. He is sincere, dedicated, helpful, approachable, inspiring and easy to communicate with. He is ready to help students at all times. He comes to class well prepared and his teaching techniques unsurpassed. Students don't hesitate to take Poli 213,308,356 &390. You won't regret.

In my opinion, Prof. Hershorn is a great teacher. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the topic that he teaches. I always enjoyed going to his class. I also find him to be very neutral, as teachers should be, in terms of teaching politics. He states the facts and lets the students express their own opinions.

Good prof, memorize key words, do not need to read the book, go to class if you can and take all powerpointnotes, write all you know you will be fine. an easy grade.

He is one of the best teachers that you could actually get in your whole academic career. Very helpful teacher and his lectures are very interesting. He's also very helpful when you go see him in his office. very much recommended.

Great teacher. Exams and the essay are straight forward. Hershorn is a fair grader. As long as you show interest and dedication towards the class and prof, there is no reason why you should not get an A.

This prof is an all around good guy. lots of old school overheads; easy enough to follow. Not a terribly hard marker, but you still have to work for your grades. Lots of guest speakers and video clips. people that complain about this guy are simply lazy.

Good prof, go to class you will do well, if you are looking for an easy grade take him,one midterm, paper, and final exam.

He is an extremely helpful professor. I found that the lectures were very interesting and enjoyed every single one of them. He is very nice when you go to his office. Overal, I feel that through taking the course, I learned greatly. If you are at Concordia, even if not a poli sci student, make sure that you do take one of his courses.

An excellent professor and the best one I ever had at concordia. The classes are very intellectual and interesting. The exams and the papers are very straight-forward. If you're thirsty for knowledge take his courses and enjoy the quality of teaching.

I just had the pleasure of Prof. Hershorn's Politics of the Holocaust class. The class was stimulating and a pleasure to take part in. Prof. Hershorn was always accomodating and was readily avaliable to help me before class, and responded to my emails quickly! He is a great teacher in a great class! Your time is spent wisely with Prof. Hershorn!

I really enjoyed this class. Lectures were clear and interesting as was the reading material. Would love to take ALL of this Professors classes.

Excellent Professor. Very stimulating lectures; Material was clear, well organized and presented extremely well.

Very interesting class, although most of it is pure textbook. He does show other interesting material, documentaries, videos, etc. Engages students into discussion which can be a bit too long sometimes. Extremely approachable. Grades fairly, but you HAVE to do the readings.

An excellent teacher. Keeps the energy level in the class very high. Encourages in class discussion. WARNING: Hershorn uses overheads... many overheads. If attending his class I recommend either taking your laptop (as it's much easier to type his lectures than write) or a voice recorder. Overall an excellent teacher.

Au depart, l'un des meilleur professeur a Concordia. Son cour a ete tres interraissant et il a utilise et demontrer des stategies d'apprentissanges utiles.

Amazing Professor, very personable,approachable and always makes time for students. Course was engaging as he used up to date case studies and invited interesting guest speakers.

Very nice man, was always available for office hours. Course material was well organized and clear.

Decent professor. His lectures are a little hard to follow since he jumps around a little and sometimes tends to repeat himself, but as long as you ask questions or make sure to speak with him after class (he always makes time for students...he hangs around for about 30 minutes after class usually!) you should be fine.

GREAT PROF! CARES A LOT ABOUT HIS STUDENTS DOING WELL IN HIS CLASS AND IN LIFE IN GENERAL. MAKES THE CLASS VERY ENTERTAINING AND INTERACTIVE BY USING CONTEMPORARY EXAMPLES AND INVITING IN GUEST SPEAKERS FOR THE BENEFIT OF EVERYONE. WOULD ALWAYS BE ATTENTIVE TO STUDENT REQUESTS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PROFESSOR HERSHORN'S COURSES.

Go to class and show that you're interested in the subject by talking with him after class or via email. Tests were easy but paper was a lot of work.

Great Professor, very helpful and always available for advice. Brings in very interesting guest speakers.

Great Professor, very helpful and always available for advice. Course was very interesting as were his guest speakers.

Fantastic Professor, course was great as were the guest speakers.

A+ teacher. exams are hard but if you study what he tells you before the exam then your all good.

Fantastic class. I learned alot, extremely interactive, and very interesting. I had never considered Canadian politics in that light before.

Good teacher!!

Definitely old school! He makes you work for your grade and notes; which is good thing. Great teaching skills and very understanding. Also, he is very compromising when it comes building up your grade. It was a great class, intense, but it was worth it. Also, when it come to getting guest speakers, he has top connection!

Interesting class! Teacher encourages in class debates, has videos and guest speakers come to class. Knowns his theory very well.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! He is the nicest professor that I have met. He is extremely helpful and understanding. He has a great sense of humour! His exams are easy, only if you study. No tricks, no hidden questions,no reading between the lines. It truly amazes me that after all his years of teaching,he still is just as passionate as he was when he started.

Fabulous professor- I learned so much more than I thought I would, and he has really interesting guest speakers- he's very connected! He's really supportive and encouraging, very accessible, happy to discuss matters outside of class or office hours. Very knowledgeable. Studying is mandatory- exams are intense. He is awesome!

He is such a nice man, very helpful and always willing to go the extra mile to help students succeed. Lots of notes to take every class which is tiring and boring at times but he does have interesting guest speakers which helps to break up the pattern a bit. Focuses on the textbook information a lot. Hard tests, easy marker.

Even though I had a prior knowledge of the holocaust before taking Prof. Hershorns "Politics of the Holocaust", I felt that I learned something new every class. He pretty much centers the class around the textbook so reading that gets you the best chance of succeeding. What I enjoyed is his integration of guest speakers, videos, and even a trip to

A very kind, well informed man who listens to students individual concerns with the subject matter, and also does not shy away from giving life advice when approached to do so.

A well informed and very kind man. To the student who knows why they are there, his lectures are well informed and packed with information; also graced with the presence of several heavy hitting guest speakers. If you try your best, he will assist you in every way possible - from course advice to life advice. It was a pleasure to be in his class.

Professor Hershorn is a splendid professor. He is dedicated, clear, focused, and extremely helpful. I have taken two classes with him: POL398D & POl213. The classes were well prepared & presented. The environment encouraged students to discuss their point of views. I would recommend his class to any serious student. I shall remember him fondly.

Dr. Hershorn just wrote me a letter of recommendation so I wanted to remember him here. I took his class in 2011. He is an amazing professor - informed, engaging, interesting, and a very helpful and kind person, like a mentor to me. I will never forget his support, guidance, and help. I loved his class and I think he's awesome!

Professir Hershorn is one of the best teacher Concordia has. He is clear consice and will make aure you understand before moving on. His lectures are inspiring and interesting. If you want a fair, dedicated and honest teacher, take him !
