I'm not trying to be mean, but he reminds me of a leprechaun!
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Nicest leprechaun I've ever met.
Great for those smart enough to understand his jokes
Pretty nice guy...hard class but an easy A or B if study. Pretty highly suggest.
keeps you interested in class even if it is a little harder for a great grade

No Comments
He is an good teacher. Makes the class interesting.
Even if you don't like history, go to class to see what he's going to say next.
He makes going to class enjoyable.
makes history fun to learn about, adds humor to the lectures
The tests are easy if you go to the SIs. The supplement book is really tough.
Great teacher. compares history to what you can understand. SI=A
As long as you care about the class, and willing to try, he will help you succed
if you are a history major, he is an awesome advisor!!!
cool dude, great class, you learn a lot
Steiner is better than Frucht or Falcone!
go to the SI and it you will for sure get an A
an amazing teacher who makes history interesting. take notes and go to SI=A
Tuff class but beneficial, thought provoking, and enjoyable
Great guy. Real helpful, great at getting info for class across.
Paper is very hard, but helped me learn a ton. Lectures are entertaining!

Funny. Good story-teller. Take advantage of SI sessions.
always willing to help with essays; keeps lecture interesting
long lectures but entertaining, going to si sessions will help
Go to SI!! but Steiner is a funny guy, You can laugh with him or at him.
Makes my day. Really cool.
Good teacher, but will always throw in a wierd question in on the test. Looks shockingly simular to Steve Mariucci.
good teacher, GO TO LECTURE
Great guy; funny--keeps lectures interesting; VERY hard tests; I should have gone to SI. The point: take him, but go to study sessions.
His tests aren't too bad if you study hard and go to the SI sessions for review-it helps! When doing the modules take in your essay to him and he will proofread it and you'll get a better grade on it.
Great Prof, intelligent. Great Trumpet player too. Ask him about it. He'll like you! Tests aren't bad when you read.
Goes off on tangents all the time- won't stay on topic. Semi-interesting topics, but I slept about 1/4 the time. Do the work and you'll do ok, but he wants you to read 1-2 chapters a week, which gets exhausting.
awesome teacher, had him in a summer class, but it was very entertaining, and I learned alot. He really knows his stuff, and the little tangents he goes on add entertainment to the lectures!
Great profs highly recommend. Always keeps your attention, tests are a little hard, but the study guide helps TONS
sucks
Really nice guy. Take notes in class. Tests are pretty easy if you attend the SI sessions or use the study guide.
Tests are tough, hard questions come from the reading. Not bad to listen to in class though.
Funny guy, easy to listen to. But has a supplement book with 4-6 pg. paper. Quizes over book material you're supposed to have read. Tests are easy if you go to last couple SI's. Lectures don't really help with passing the course.

funny guy, class is hard. hes a good lecture speaker, funny
He's a funny guy, especially when he gives his opinion of the government. However, the SIs are a MUST. ESPECIALLY the last one. The books are hard to read. You'll do fine if you go to all SIs and study! It also helps to find someone who has his old tests
This class sucked. If you don't like history, it's hard. I went to the SIs religously. You have to study or you won't make it. The supplimentary reading is also really hard to understand. You have to read it over and over. I got a C but I studied
Good guy, very hard teacher. He knows his stuff and gives interesting lectures most of the time. SI's are a must if you want to pass, esp. the last one over the essays. Must study hard before the test too, but he's a great teacher.
Awesome teacher! Lectures are interesting. Tests are not bad if you study. SI sessions are very helpful!
great teacher, nothing bad to say about him, he rocks! Study for the tests, take good notes, read the book, you will do fine!
I agree that he's an excellent professor. I've had him for two classes now. I just can't believe no one has rated him as hot (especially for a history professor)!!!
Great teacher. A good guy. Fairly easy class. Pulled a B with very minimal effort. Never went to SIs or read the book. Lectures can get boring tho.
Since no one else has rated him as hot, especially for a history professor, I will! He's a great guy! If you are in band, especially if you play the trumpet, take him! That is a great way to get him off topic, and to "bond" with him! Overall, a great guy!
You have to do a lot of reading and make sure to fill out the study guide if you want to get a good grade in this class. Reading the book is a must. He's pretty funny and he makes history interesting.
I think his class was fairly easy, but maybe not so if you don't already like history. He pretty much tells you what he expects and the beginning, so it's really not that hard. I recommend taking the class.
Ok, a couple of people have said they would rate him as hot but he still doesn't have any chili peppers. Let me see if this works. Awesome teacher. Very helpful if you ever ask for it.
Great teacher!!!!!!!!
good teacher, class is pretty easy if you pay attention and don't BS your writing assignments. this guy is smart and knows whether or not you did your research.
Most interesting History teacher that I have ever had. Stays on track and is very informative. Tests are over the lectures so just make sure and be there. He is great!!!
I think Dr. Steiner is an proffessor. He obviously knows what he's talking about. I love his class.
Mr. Steiner is a great teacher. He made the class fairly easy and his lectures were interesting. The tests are kind of hard but if you go to class and read you will be fine. It also helps if you can find someone who has already taken his class. He is also pretty hot for a history teacher.
Yep hes a cutie alright so why doesnt he have a hot pepper, anyway, hes a GREAT teacher I wish he would teach more than history so i could enjoy his lectures more, I learned a lot and he made it easy oh and did i mention hes not bad to look at?!!!
He's an awesome professor, who knows what he's talking about. He's probably my favorite professor.
excellent, one of the very best
Very good teacher...definitely knows what he's talking about. I learned a lot. And yes, he is a cutie!!!
Dr. Steiner is a GREAT professor! He is so down to earth and puts things in such a way that EVERYONE gets it. Other professors may be far out there, but he's grounded and very understandable, interesting and fun. After taking his American History course, I changed my major-he's THAT good! And no, I didn't change it because he was hot.
He is amazing! He made the class interesting and fun (which is very difficult to do during the summer). Be sure to study the terms on the Study Guide, and review the possible essay prompts, and you will do just fine.
He is a GREAT professor! A very intelligent man, and he's quite humerous. I would take him again in a second =)
Steiner is way hard! He basically takes attendence and didn't really use that or extra credit into consideration; the grade was the grade. You can type a million miles an hour and still not get everything he says. Not that he talks fast, he just never repeats himself for the important points. If you want to do well study for 3 hours every night
Tests are hard unless you are good at history. Hes pretty funny and makes it sound interesting if you actually listen
He is a really good professor, one of my favorites! he is very intelligent and funny! he rocks! I wish I could take him again, but I am not a history major. Bummer man!
This guy is a good teacher and keeps you interested the whole time. I studied the night before the tests and got high Bs and As. I wrote the paper the night before and got an 89%. However, if you DONT go to class your probably screwed. But his lectures are very interesting and he has some jokes that are actually kinda funny. Great teacher.
He's one of the most humble teachers I've had in college and I love that. Very knowledgable. Very clear. He's even funny which keeps me interested. He lets you know what he expects and doesn't over load you with work. Great teacher.
Dr. Steiner is a very good professor. His class is EXTREMELY hard, especially if you are bad at history. He will help you in every way possible, but if someone else is easier, just take them and save yourself the trouble.
Hard class!!! Maybe just because I suck at history. But hes a really really good teacher and always explains things in more than one way. You can tell he is teaching something he knows a lot about.
Didn't understand anything he was teaching.
I have him for freshmen seminar. He is the best teacher that I have ever had, and look forward to being able to see how all he teaches me helps in my future career as a college student. If you are a Poli Sci major then youwill love having him for fresh sem and meny more classes!
Totally awesome! Hilarious :)
A great teacher, knows what he is teaching, and is funny! Not much discussion, but still a great professor.
Great teacher, makes class interesting and fun to go to. He is not your typical boring history teacher, he makes his lectures easy to follow.
He is a pretty solid teacher. One of the best teachers in the History Department
I recommend taking Steiner for any History class you get! He's a great teacher and makes the content of the class fun and relatable to everyone!
This semester's America Historical Survey class with Dr. Steiner was an enjoyable experience. His lectures were always helpful, informative, and interesting. Three exams (no cumulative final), nine online quizzes, and 36 bonus points. I would definitely take him again for a higher-level history quiz. One of the best in the department.
