Difficult to please, but willing to spend extra time to explain. Highly educated
Very kool teacher, fun lectures, gets you thinking and stimulates class discussi
picks on people, insults intellegence, hard tests, hard to please, sometimes fun
taking his class was the worst decision i ever made!!!!Not worthwhile at all!
PACE tosses all freshmen with him. Very few people choose to take him. Don't!
Really interested in subject, gives lots of background info
Very intelligent; expects alot though.. you have to work hard to do really good!
Very funny, and relaxed and cool as a univ prof helpful too
I like Math but I learned NOTHING in his class!!! Need I say more,
U have to work hard in his class.
The most horrible prof at Pace. So disrespectful to his students. Just insulting
funny, smart, worth working hard in his class
He is a fun teacher, but to follow the course do the reading!
Rosenfeld is great. Just read all assignments and use good grammer.
what a college professor is supposed to be, be smart and you'll love him,
You have to learn everything on your own because he does not teach. Hard grader
GOOD PEOPLEZ BUT EXPECTS A LOT. VERY PROFESSIONAL AND SOMETIMES EVEN FUNNY.
Teaches you nothing in class, seems like a waste of money, expects a lot on the
Very intelligent, although his lectures have nothing to do with his hard exams.
Lectures have absolutly nothing to do with the tests and tests are VERY hard
Frikken Awesome! Made fun of the morons and rewarded the people with brains!!!
Lectures are funny, but have nothing to do with class. Not an easy class.
Interesting lectures but have nothing to do with course, tests are not that hard
Funny, maybe too funny, but knowledgeable, A is possible
Best Professor Ever. Tests and quizzes are on what u read alone. Take him!
very funny, very little notes so u must READ, exams are ok
Tests are on the book, not lectures. Often disrespectful
didnt teach at all, tons of reading, will work hard for a good grade
Makes fun of morons, says lots of interesting things, if u dont read ur screwed
best lectures, funny yet a little coo-coo. tests are hard and the books suck
boring, and unfair
Insults and embarrasses his students; very unfair and hard exams AND papers!
people who think rosenfeld is an awful prof are on something...he is a history god...i feel fully prepared for jeopardy
No Comments
he is aite as a history prof.. not too bad kinda hard tho
a little crazy, but it's a fun class and goes by fast. do all the reading and you'll be fine, but u must read--his lectures have nothing to do with what will be on the tests.
Why bother attending class?? Lectured material is not tested and he seeks to impress the class with his crazed lectures.
Class is pretty easy and very fun!
Taking him would be a big mistake. He is hard and enjoys making fun of people. DO NOT TAKE HIM! Trust me, you will bring down your GPA if you take his boring class.
Don't pay attention to his lectures, they have nothing to do with what will be on the tests. Only motivation for doing the actual material is not getting yelled at by him.
easy course if you do the work.
very funny, flamboyant, excitable guy. Nice person, but a TOUGH prof. if youre up for a challenge take it...its a LOT OF WORK, he makes you EARN it.Defintely not a class for slackers, but good for majors, hes a really smart guy.
As intellectual as he may be, Rosenfeld does not offer much clarity when it comes to his discussions. It's as if he speaks so elaborate as to confuse us or to boast his knowledge.
Tough, yet fair professor, and a great speaker/storyteller. If you do the work and pay attention in class, you'll do fine. If you slack off, he'll notice and grade you accordingly. Do not take his class unless the topic interests you.
horrible professor, doesnt teach the most importnat aspects of the course simply says read, i can read at home, his lectures have NOTHING to do with his tests and if he doesnt like u u can forget about a descent grade
He's just annoys me. Thinks his stories are so clever and his arrogance is so out of place. Dont get me wrong..he's smart, but he needs to talk less about woman's attire and poetry and more about material for the tests (that are graded toughly)
the material is pretty easy, but the guy doesnt teach. talks about stuff that has nothing to do with the topic. he grades too harshly. just read the text
This guy is just a plain ol' control freak. Doesn't care about your opinion and when you give one, he jumps on you and rips it apart. Avoid the teacher at all costs.
This guy is big on favoritism. Avoid at all costs.
this guy knows his stuff but he doesnt bother teaching actual material. he talks about movies hes seen and other nonsense which has nothing to do with the tests. and he grades tough like he actually taught the material. stay away
I thoroughly enjoyed this class this semester. He is very knowledgable and I enjoyed the way he taught the class.
Interesting in many different ways.
Very hard grader and does not stop talking. The guy cannot stop once he gets going. Cab be interesting, but rarely. Complains about students being late and comes late to class all the time himself- wow talk about hypocrisy.
always goes off tangent, not clear with assignments and criticizes you if you don't agree with him. yuck
honestly, dont take him. im not one who talks doodoo about professors, but he's awful. two-faced...he'll make jokes in class, then be a complete jackass to you in person. not clear with anything. DONT TAKE HIM. he picks favorites. and his hand movements are way too over the top.
hes ok, but grades too harsh. also if you say something he doesnt agree with hell just straight up say your wrong.
He sucks. He's incredibly rude to students and he thinks he's funny. Goes on and on about inane stuff and makes wild gestures. Doesn't give constructive feedback on papers. Three papers and final, one rewrite. Raubicheck is way cooler. Wouldn't recommend a Rosenfeld-only class.
This guy knows a lot; yes, he is a hard grader,but class is interesting; he doesn't care about your opinion, but most of the students opinions are stupid!!! Easy to pass, not much to do in a class....
taking this class for req, NOT BECAUSE I F'N LOVE HISTORY. this man thinks that i care about what happened in f'n year 1500... he wants you to MEMORIZE (not learn) every event, every person, every book, everything for hundreds of years of histroy. the book stinks, the prof isnt any better.
full of knowledge,and loves to share it with students. I'm not sure if he grades hard because i got an A on the first assignment. You'll learn alot, just be prepared to do some background reading.

He's arrogant and has no reason to be! Avoid him at all costs...even in the hallway!
nice guy, major know-it-all, bs class.
He's a pretty cool teacher, he knows a lot about his subject. His classes are sometimes tedious but his tests are always easy. He asigns you books to read but you don't really have to bother with them if you pay attention in class. One time I slept pass one of his exams and he let me do the exam in his office.

very knowledgable in history, and adorable, clever & funny to boot. he's really nice actually, he helped me get my grade changed from an I to a B. i'm not too crazy about history so i can't say i found him 100% interesting. but i like him!
will look you dead in the eye, laugh, and make a joke at your expense! doesnt give out a syllabus.. if you ask him a question more then once he will hang you in the door way and dance around your body while poking you with a stick. stay far away!! hes boring, and will insist on talking if u see him..he is knowlegable about history, but thats it!
loved him! he loves discussion and is always challenging you.
He is an extreme analyzer. The questions asked in class are based more on your view of morals and good versus evil and how you feel about society during certain periods of time based on the texts. Be sure to come prepared knowing about the reading material. Tests are pretty easy as long as you listen in class. He's an odd ball but a nice guy!
what did you say.. oh could you repeat that, no problem only 1 million times.. he is very knowledgable in history i give him that. but he shouts so loudly and is kind of scary at times
Idk why he's so lowly graded. I mean, some people in my class don't like him, but he's one of my fav. professors. I mean, it's kind of boring, but come on guys it's a hist lecture! he gives good lectures that are knowledgeable, gives good examples. Never assigns hw. Just study for tests!! U really dnt get many..overall, the class is pretty easy!
So interesting! He knows everything, and we are always laughing in his class. Took the second half of the course just because he was such a great teacher.
super nice. a little hard on grading but probably because I didn't take the greatest notes. he's funny and interesting, and makes time fly by faster
best professor I have had at pace yet! he is always up and happy, he's always eager to hear your comments, always encourages you, overall he wants your to do really well! take this class, you will not regret it!
This guy straight up can not teach. He rants on about random topics that you do not care about. HIs mid term and finals are stupid hard. Makes you memorizes chapters on chapters. AVOID AT ALL COSTS IT IS A GPA KILLER.
He's a pretty good professor. He's always lively and funny which makes lectures interesting. He does have a tendency to get off topic, and it is sometimes hard to know exactly what to study but if you ask him, he'll tell you and if you need extra help, he's there. Overall, his personality is the best and as long as you ask questions, you'll pass!
Really funny professor with a great personality! The lectures are pretty long, but he gives you a 10-15 minute break in between. Only gives one midterm and a take home final, and 2-3 mediocre assignments in between. Tries to get everyone engaged in the lecture so be ready to get called on or asked a question. Class was pretty easy overall!
Great person honestly made my semester at pace. I'm a science major and they ended up giving me his class. I thought in the beginning I was going to drop the class, but after meeting this guy I didn't want too. Take notes he likes to see you take notes during Lec and he'll grade you easier if he sees you take notes. Great human, I recommend him.
Anyone who gives Prof Rosenfeld a poor rating simply needs to give up on uni now. He's an excellent professor and incredibly fair. He's humorous, kind and knowledgeable. If you're a non history major and not up for the task of taking a history course, don't take out your frustration on a fine professor.
This is one of the best professor i have at pace. His lectures are amazing, doesn't give a lot of work and if i get chance, will surely take him again in the next semester.
He's a sweet old man who is really passionate about history. He's good at lecturing, but it can be kinda difficult because he goes back and forth a lot. You should go on his museum field trips, he's very knowledgeable. He's a fair grader.
Professor RosenFeld is SUPER nice and always is in a good mood, he is so smart as well, yes he gets off topic but that's not always a bad thing. Minimum homework, but Do well on the Assignments he does give out! Pay attention and class and you'll do fine!
As an international student I found his course very helpful. The readings he suggested have lots of useful academic vocabs. His lectures are very interesting and give you a good understanding of western heritage. Exams contain difficult essays, but he's an easy grader. READ everything he assigns, take notes in class and you'll be fine.
He is a great professor and is very knowledgeable, sometimes he isn't clear on what he wants from his students thus it can be easy to not get the best of grades, however, he likes to make the class easy and even gave us a take home final exam
Professor Rosenfeld is a great professor, and you will figure out the reason.
I cant recommend him enough. His class consists of lectures each class. The textbook reading is left to do on your own. He assigns 2-4 papers and either film or museum projects that are simple and allow you to pick something youre interested in. Hes a prof who is genuinely intelligent not just because he is someone in an academia setting.
His class is easy, you do a couple of essays and you pass but Rosenfeld is very disorganized. One time he graded my essay and critique was Very good 10/10 then 2 days later he came back with more detailed feedback and lowered my grade to a 8. If youre going to make me do assignments, at least put in the same effort when grading it.
He talks A LOT. If you really want to learn about the subject, I don't recommend taking his class. But if you want to get credits and good grades, just take his class. If you show up in his classes and submit your homeworks, you can get A. Although his lecture is not that interesting, he is a nice person.
Really nice old guy. Genuinely a very smart guy and likes to ramble on and engage the class in his conversations. For midterms and finals, he assigns a take home essay. If you show up, participate, and do the HW, youll be set.
Rosenfeld is a real wacky dude but has good lectures and encourages class discussion. Great professor, makes it easy to learn, and makes an effort to get to know his students. Wonderful professor, great feedback, easy grader! Definitely recommend!
I think Prof. Rosenfeld is great, and I've really enjoyed the class. We mostly just talk during class and he's very light on homework. Just be sure to take note of names and read the textbook. He's quite accommodating and pretty easy to reach. We talked about religion and he asked me if I had a soul which is pretty funny OOC. 10/10
Best prof I have ever had!! Never a boring lecture, but a class discussion on the topics. He's funny and makes learning the material entertaining. Exams are super easy mostly because the material is easily remembered from a class discussion. Work load is minimal. Two film reviews, one at the beginning of semester one at the end. Highly Recommend!!
Cool dude
Outstanding. You will learn everything about some things and something about everything.
You will learn everything about some things and something about everything.
Every class was extremely boring and I could not stay focused at all. The textbook was not fun to read and I still didn't do well on the midterm and final due to it. It is very hard to know what all is on the test and he makes us write a huge paragraph for one term on the tests.
The professor is a wacky but engaging lecturer. His class is mostly discussion-based, with manageable assignments. Definitely do the readings and take notes in class. Unstuck study was a lifesaver for study prep. Overall, a solid course!
Professor Rosenfeld's classes are interesting and lecture-based, with few homework assignments. However, you WILL fail if you don't read the syllabus or study. The midterm and final are definitely manageable but the textbook is a must. Approachable outside of class and responds quickly to email, very kind and funny.
He is so nice. I look foward to his classes every week and he is such a sweet man.
Literally the most adorable man ever and he makes the class interesting
