This guy is bizarre. I handed in one assignment for him and he told me that it should have been more concise. So, when I did the second assignment, I deliberately made it short and sweet, but he said it should have been longer with more details. It was also painful listening to him read his articles during class. Very desperate for attention.

Really great and super funny professor. Goes over multiple topics other than just 9/11. Class is only a midterm and a final so that might be tough for some but if you pay attention to his lectures and go over the readings you'll be fine. He goes over readings step by step in class so you can get a better understanding. Encourages participation.

Really chill professor. Easy class. I honestly pulled an all-nighter on the papers and still got an A- in the class.

Easily one of the best professors I've had at the university. He is very engaging and always makes sure students are understanding material. He's able to relate to students and is very accessible outside of class. Would 100% take again.

Relatively easy grader. Canceled a LOT of classes (not always in his control). We had great class discussions, despite him sometimes being somewhat unprepared for class (e.g. powerpoint errors, or simply no powerpoints). You can tell that he is incredibly enthusiastic about what he teaches, which is all one could ask for. Likes to joke around

The only professor at CCSU who can create from scratch and incredibly interesting class based solely on a question that doesn't have an answer (should society keep controversial political monuments). Lectures and discussions always go in unexpected directions (in a good way... keeps you on your feet, and you'll definitely learn a lot).

Vague instructions on expected work so asking to clarify is a top priority, he is willing to help any and all students so long as he sees they are trying their best and putting in the effort. He is very blunt and straightforward so if your feelings get hurt easily I wouldn't take it too seriously, that's just how he is. Great feedback.

Professor Warshauer is the best professor I have had at CCSU. His class is extremely well thought out and engaging. He truly cares about his students and you can see that through his teaching style. He loves to joke around with the class which makes the class better. There is a reason why he got professor of the year last year. 10/10

One of the greatest professors I have ever had. Made class fun and enjoyable, went over the material well and made sure we understood. Only graded on Exams which are easy if you pay attention and just study for a bit. Would take him again if possible.

Professor Warshauer is great! He is super knowledgeable about the topic. He just lectures but he makes the lectures interactive and interesting. There are 5 exams based on each topic; super easy, 25 questions and they're open note!

He's a good guy but his lecture style is a little boring or something I'm not sure there's just a disconnect. He was really into changing it and accommodating our opinions. He took over a month to return our midterms which made me a little annoyed. He's cool and people like him but maybe this was an off semester for him or something. I love zuzu!

I am a nursing student and legit have no reason for taking the class but I heard he was great and he definitely lives up to the hype. Although it's only mid semester, I already know this class will remain one of my favorites throughout. Theres only 3 things he grades: mid term (4-5 pages), participation, and final exam (a group documentary project

Great professor who makes the class fun and engaging. Covers the material well, with a focus on participation. While the exams can be challenging, using Unstuckstudy and the free textbook makes studying a breeze. Definitely recommend this course.

Professor Warshauer is the best, so much so that I took him for two different classes. He's very knowledgeable and passionate about the subjects he teaches. The readings aren't hard and while there is lots of homework it's really easy, just do it on time. Come to class having done the readings and participate and you'll do well in this class.

I liked Dr. Warshauer. I thought his lectures were interesting and I did learn a lot through his class. However, the professors ego constantly shines through and it gets annoying. HIST 321 involved a MASSIVE semester-long project worth 40% of your grade. There are not a ton of graded assignments aside from the midterm.
