wonderful guy

hot, nice guy...great lecturees and fair amount of work. Work is demanding but serious students won't have a problem. oh yah great legs!

His class is great, he's funny, he draws pictures (my favorite is the Hoplite Phalanx), he knows what he is talking about. Sometimes it takes him 45 minutes to get to the main point, but its all good. His tests aren't bad unless you can't do maps.

He's a smart man, but if you need someone to keep you awake start running now. Very boring, however he tweeks the final exams to the advantage of the student which is pretty cool. It takes him a looong time to get papers back too. He's brilliant!

Very smart,nice guy. Not easy, but if you put in the effort you will do fine. My only complaint is that he takes forever to get papers back. Other than that, he's a good prof. Those that don't like him are babies.

Really good teacher..definitley knows his stuff. Tests are easy IF you study :) He's big on maps, so be sure to study those a lot! He's a great teacher for people who may not be that interested in the topic, but need to take it for a GER.

Seriously, the most interesting, fun class ever, and Ieradi is funny ****.

smart guy...not exactly an easy class but also not a hard one if you STUDY. def. not for a slacker but a history buff would love this guy.

He lectures! Thats not a bad thing, unless you're like me, and sleep easily! He obviously knows his stuff, and is brilliant in his field, but he has a hard time incorporating class participation, and returning tests on time!;(iliketheclass!

Ireardi is respectful he is VERY helpful. Those people who dont like him are slackers and dont like to work. As far as being a girl and passing for that reason that is VERY UNTRUE and not a very good insinuation to make about a professor with a good rep

What a bunch of wimps! You're missin' the boat with this one, he's a good teacher, you need to better students.

best teacher in the world. lots of stuff to comprehend but very easy and he is very helpful. answers email promptly. pretty much the best teacher in the world! i loved his class. gave me a B+.

Best teacher in the world, lecturing isnt bad. relates so much together...hes genious! He may be a little challenging, those who dont like him are bad students. Ive had a lot of teachers hes best by far! Take his class!

Standard fare for a history class. Not too hard, not too easy. His lectures are usually pretty good. Sometimes it's hard to stay awake, but if you pay attention, then you'll be fine.

one of the best teachers i've ever had at BSC. Def take this class, if you like history hes the guy to take.

not as bad as people say at all...i don't know what everyone's complaining for...history IS dates and places so it's to be expected...History is history but he is a great guy to have teach it to you

His lectures are extremely boring but worth listening to. He grades tests fairly and will do anything for a student that he thinks is trying to do well in the class.

good guy. is willing to help students if you don't understand something. downside: lectures the entire time and it can get tiring.

Very very helpful! Awesome teacher, he definately will help you with anything. concentrates on maps during test, but they aren't hard. definately need to study but not extensively. good sense of humor. his lectures are generally interesting and important. i definately recommend him to anyone!

The man is absolutely brilliant. He really knows his stuff and if you are serious about having a complete understanding of the subject at hand then Mike is a must take. Do the work and the readings, participate in the class and you will do wonderful. Great at helping people understand if you ASK.

It is a history class, so expect lecture. He does have a great sence of humor and the lectures are almost intresting. Willing to work with you if you are having trouble. very brilliant and knows his stuff- he did go to yale!! highly recommended.

I thought this was a VERY interesting class. He is really helpful and he's a riot if you have a dorky sense of humor. One word of warning though... If you usually just pay attention in class, don't study for tests, and still do well... that's not going to work in this class. Tests are hard.

Really challenging, but interesting. You really have to do the reading before the class time to follow lectures, but it's worth the work. Not interested in subject before, but am now.

hot, hot, hot.....

Very fair guy, will help you if you are in trouble, no attendance policy, if you want a good grade you HAVE to study!

His tests are impossible and i hardly ever go to class because I can't focus on any of the material anyway. However he's a really nice guy, very funny, and will answer any question you have. I hate the material, but love the professor!

He has probably been the best teacher I ever had in my entire life. When taking this class you must understand that he will challenge you. You may be expected to work harder than you ever did before. However, in the end it was well worth it. I will never forget this man and advise you to take him as well.

its history..plain and simple, its gonna suck. but hes hottt.

this guy is GREAT, i love his teaching style, hes very conversational and funny. hes totally understanding to any problems you had and if you just listen in class you barely have to study except for maps. highly reccomended!

This is a tough class, but it's manageable. His tests are hard, but everything is from the review sheets. The maps are a small part of the test. There are 4 books, a main text, Gilgamesh (I didn't read it), and two plays. I got an A-, and he does scale the grades. You do have to read the book, and plan on studying for several hours.

Seriously the smartest man I've ever met in my life. Class requires alot of attention but if you like history you'll love it. Has a really dry sense of humor but is funny. Also scales grades so he gives you every chance to pass & makes himself available for extra help.

Ancient Rome. information isnt that exciting but he is extremely smart and keeps you pretty interested. pretty funny, very disorganized, we never got our paper back from the middle of the semester. other than that really good class, maps a part of midterm and final to boost scores, no scaling, but if you pay attention/study you're good.

Smart Smart Man. Absolutely Brilliant. Also kind and conscientious, willing to go the extra mile for his students this guy wants you to succeed. Fair grader, considering the complexity and difficulty of much of the material that is being covered in class.

A brilliant guy, lectures are amazingly in-depth but clear and if you pay attention not too hard. he's also really funny, in a different kinda way. I couldn't help having a *big* crush on him. He was so smart and traveled around the world, and cares how you do, just ask for help if you need it, will explain stuff.

terrible teacher. all he does is talk the entire time and none of it makes sense. all he does is write random stuff on the bored and then draw millions of lines and circles around everything trying to prove his point. his lectures do not corespond with his tests like he claims they do. do w/e you can to avoid this class

ussually helpful. but can be an arrogant jerk.

Although his class is very difficult he is a very nice guy!!! His lectures can be very boring but the material isn't the most exciting material to learn. Unless you are willing to work very hard in this class don't take this professor.

dont take this class unless your ready to work!, his grade is based on tests (including the midterm and final) and a paper. this was the hardest class i have taken so far. Brilliant guy, and willing to help

I'm taking his Roman history class right now. He is very knowledgeable and clearly is passionate about this subject. I'm learning a lot about this fascinating subject. Ierardi and Lewinstein are the two best professors at BSC's underated history department.Though this course can be tedious.

He does teach as if everyone is there for the History Major. VERY helpful and understanding. He knows what he's talking about and is very serious. Tests are a challenge by far but you learn so much. Take him if your SERIOUS, otherwise you'll hate it with a passion.

If you want a professor that's on the cutting edge of the field, Ierardi's your man. Shut up about how hard it is if you can't take a challenge. He puts the work in your court, expects you to do the reading, pay attention and participate. It's that hard; he knows his field better than most professors at BSC of any school, and will test you as such.

he is a Yale genius. he really is a very nice man, but i found his class hard. im an A/B student and got a C-. he lectures the entire time. try your hardest to pay attention, he throws in jokes. read your book! even tho i didnt do awesome, i still liked him. he will help you if asked, and is NOT intimidating when you ask questions!

Very intelligent and knowledgeable. A world known expert on ancient coins. He knows his stuff but he expects you to read text book and not just pass by just showing up to class.

Ierardi is the man. Literally if you go to class and listen to what he says its one of the most enjoyable classes I've ever taken. Its clear that most of the students at bridgewater aren't going anywhere, but if you take a class with Ierardi you will actually learn something about the ancient world most likely have a good time. The dudes hilarious

Loves what he teaches and tries to make it as interesting as he can. Gives 4 tests including the midterm and final. Uses the info in the book alot so you definatley need to read for homework. Worst part is the way he does notes, makes it near impossible to write good notes

He assigns a lot of reading and he talks a lot, but he knows his stuff and is very responsive to students. If you like the material, you'll love taking a class with him. In my opinion, he's one of the best professors at Bridgewater.

I took his Latin Class. He knows what's going on, my only complaint was that there was no clear "raise hand" or "shout out policy", so i often didn't know whether or not to supply an answer, ooh, also, if you got a form wrong, rather than just correcting, he'd decline the whole damn thing over again. Otherwise, smart, funny, and generally engaging

Make no mistake, You will work in this class, but it's not work pilled on needlessly, there are select readings each night, and if you do most of them, you will be fine. Dr Ierardi has a mastery of both classes I've had him (Roman history and Greek History) and speaks very well. As long as you're willing to read, I highly recommend him.

I've had this professor for 4 straight semesters. He is a good guy with a semi-casual approach to the subject matter. He is knowledgeable, funny and wants students to join in on the lecture. He will never tell you "you're wrong". All of his classes are about thinking and analyzing the information. Give a crap and you'll pass no problem!

If you fall asleep in class often he might not be for you, this class is 95% lecture. He's a nice guy and you can tell he loves what he does. He also has an extremely dry sense of humor. I was afraid I was failing his class and I hadn't turned papers in and he assured me that he has only failed 2 people in his 30yrs of teaching. A nice dude overall

I've had him for a lot of different classes. He's a nice guy and will try to help you succeed. If you put in effort and ask for help he will generally give it. His classes are lecture heavy so if you don't like that you might not like his classes. He can be funny at times and make good jokes. Can be hard to reach him through email though.

His class is mainly lecture, so... if you like lectures, great, and if you don't, maybe pick another. That said, he's a fair grader and his lessons are actually quite funny if you enjoy his dry sense of humor.
