He is the best prof on the EMU campus, he taught me a lot. I also helped him with the overhead last year. Hopefully he will continue to teach at EMU.
Passionate and uncompromising dedication and commitment. Sparkling intelligence and enthusiasm. The greatest professor I ever had.
He is so funny! I love the jokes he tells and how sarcastic he is sometimes! His exams are fair and nothing unexpected. Lectures are very clear and easy to follow. I really enjoy his class.
I think he is the best prof. I have ever had. He makes class fun and you will learn a lot Citno is great.
AWESOME, passionate, dedicated Prof. BY far, one of the best here at EMU... not very good at history but did well in his class because his lectures were so interesting. I loved listening to him!!
THE BEST LECTURER I HAVE FOUND IN 6 YRS. @ E.M.U. BAR NONE. HAD HIM IN MY FIRST YR AND NOW AGAIN, HAS GOTTEN BETTER. MAKES DIFF. MATERIAL DOABLE FOR THE AVG. STUDENT. YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO TKAE THIS PROF. AS YOU ARE PAYING FOR YOUR EDUC.!!
One professor told me he's as good as anything you'll find in an ivy league school...I don't doubt that one bit. A great teacher.
He has a wealth of knowledge that spans everything from history to popular culture. He is so good that his wife took his class.
Such a great instructor. You work for your grade, but he is such a thorough professor. Top notch.
If only I could get inside this guy's head for an hour! He is SOOO smart and seems to know EVERYTHING! He could tell you anything from what happened every year in history, to what happened on American Idol. Wonderful and interesting and HIGHLY recommended
THE BEST LECTURER HERE TAKE ANY CLASS HE TEACHES HE IS THE MAN
This guy is awesome! Take any class you can with him! He is soooo smart, and makes history interesting!
Damn that Richard Nation...Wish I would have taken Cintino for all my history classes...it is better than the History Channel! (Someone take him shopping though, please!!!)
This guy rocks! One of the best professors at Eastern. His class is not difficult! You better take him or else!
great prof...already rated him...but he was jealous that his nephew got a "pepper" by his name- so here's a pepper for you, citino! :)
He is the best teacher EVER!! I am a History Minor and I have never been so interested in learning so much. I would take him again for another class, he really relates the material to the students' lives. PLUS he takes his daughter to concerts and MOSHES!
if you do not like history this is the professor to take to help you understand and like history better. make sure you do not get a boring teacher. citino is a great teacher, always on time, funny, never thought id say it but i loved this history class!
Makes you excited about coming to class, he's so fun to listen to, I'm going to go back just to sit in sometime with others...he usually has a lot of people wanting to talk to him after class and be social because he is so awsomely funny.
By far the best teacher that i have ever had at EMU. I actually looked fwd to his class. He made that class fun and interesting; time flew by. Everyone needs to take at least one class by hime before you graduate.
THE****
amazing captivation teacher. i recommend him for every class possible.
NO WHERE will you find a better professor!
What an amazing class and professor! I could not have asked for a better pair. Him and Dr.Shictman were the best ever. They made the class so it wasn't as depressing ascould be which made it a lot easier. Make sure and go to all the lectures though. Though it isn't hard to not want to miss
Hurray!
he is just what he wishes to be called, citino the magnificent
If military history is your thing than this is your professor. If military history is not your thing it will be after taking his course. While his courses are not easy, they are not overly hard, but you will, having attended his lectures, walk away with a wealth of knowledge. Enjoyable instructer for all students regardless of major.
Wow. Easily the best prof on campus. One of the few prof's at EMU that captured my imagination and made me want to do the work to get a good grade. Simply the best.
Citino is incredible. He is one of the best profs at EMU. He's entertaining, hilarious and knowledgeable. His random anecdotes made history the best class ever.
Amazing amazing amazing. An awesome teacher who is dedicated to teaching and the students interest. After class I talked with him once about a similar topic that we had discussed in class and where I could find more information. A few classes later he came with a an awesome book on the topic and gave it to me. Very great teacher.
Such a great professor. I love him so much, I just wish I was a history major so that I could have more classes with him. He's very attractive too.
This guy is amazing!

Dr. Citino will give you more knowledge about the period he is teaching than you knew existed. You MUST go to class if you intend to soak up any of his genius! Thanks Dr. Citino for really caring about what you are teaching!
He is the greatest prof. to ever live! He knows his stuff!
The best history prof at EMU
Unfortunatly, I only got to take Citino once, but he was simply amazing... If you have any questions on warfare, he is your man... Not taking him for a class is doing a dis-service to yourself and your educational opportunity presented at EMU....
He Rocks!
robert citino defines what a college prof should strive to be. his text book is a actual book written by him, it was good reading. they even have his books at the borders by my house. hes very helpful, he overhead me saying how i had 2 exams and 2 big projects due in a 2 day period and he let me take his exam 2 days late to lighten up my workload.
Citino is an excellent professor, extremely knowledgeable and a riveting lecturer, funny, easy to deal with, and not a hard grader.
Excellent professor. High standards set, very knowledgable!
Dr. Citino is probably the best prof. I've had. He is a bit full of himself at times but he has every reason to be. He writes his own books, makes his own maps and knows history better than he does current events. Don't expect to sluff off in his class he'll make you pay.
Awesome! Dr. Citino is very interested in the topics he teaches and his excitement is contagious!
WOW, what do you say about this professor. He is great, funny and very helpful. Take him you will enjoy him, unfortunatly he will not be teaching until the winter semster. This was the one class I look forward to every day.
The guy was funny, knew what he was talking about, and didn't treat the one hundred level class like he was teaching grad students. He presents the neccesary amount of information, but doesn't try and screw you on tests
Love him! He's really helpful and you can really tell that he enjoys teaching, if the professor is excited to be there, then the students will be too. Wonderful professor
Amazing Professor!! Engaging and incredibly witty. He has the ability to make military mayhem fun!
Whatever qualities make a perfect lecture class, he's nailed it. His pacing is leisurely but not slow, and you'll end up with about a page of high-quality notes a day. His tests won't insult your intelligence or make your brain explode in frustration, but again strike the perfect middle ground. The "realest" prof I've had. He defines excellence.
Very well knowledged in German history, very excited about teaching and that helps keeps the students interested
Greatest professor I've ever had. I'm pretty sure anyone not giving him a good rating on here is just trying to sabotage him.
Excellent Professor. Impeccable lectures and extremely helpful outside the classroom. No one at EMU should miss the opportunity to take one of his classes.
Very Good Stuff.
This is my favorite class of all time. Citino keeps you interested and makes me want to learn more when class is over. AMAZING!
Citino is my favorite of the 3 professors that teach this class. I love it when he lectures because he makes it interesting.
Very entertaining lecturer.
He has a great teaching style. He is fun to listen to, and keeps you interested. You should take him if you have the chance!!
Made history really interesting! and he is quite the snappy dresser- thanks to his wife. (I asked) ;) I definitely recommend him and have heard nothing but good from other friends that have had him.
Rob Citino lives and breathes Germany war history. Yes it helps that he wrote the textbook, but that just further proves his mastery of the subject. But all in all, his lectures are the most fun: completely engaging, easy to follow, and extremely entertaining. Best class I've ever taken. Because of him I like to study.
This guy is lame, I think he is super lame, I hope I never take another class from captain lame again. Sayonara Captain lame, go lame the lame song with your lamey lame lame.
Wonderful
a good man!
Great professor. Knows his audience and how to keep them interested. I am only a freshman, but if I have the chance, I will schedule more and more with Citino. Not really sure about the other 2 professors that taught the class.
Good guy, takes a subject that should be rather dry, like German history, and has you laughing most of the class, but at the end of the day you know your stuff.
He's awesome and very personable.
Great professor, extremely interesting lectures. I'd like to sit in on the class again this semester just to hear the lectures again.
I had Rob back in the 80s when he taught at Lake Erie College. He totally rocked back the too. Glad to see he is still rocking as a prof.
amazing professor all around, I recommend taking a class just to have him before you graduate.
was OK
I had Citino 2x. Both classes ("Quest for Power" and "Culture in the Holocaust") were so interesting. You can really tell that Citino loves what he does!! He is definitely willing to help you if you just go and talk to him.
amazing. by far the greatest teacher. I had him for Culture and the Holocust with Schiffman and Scott. He is a genius. love him.
Very genious.
Good teacher. Was enjoyable to heat teach. Reccomend class. Made my softmore year.
easiest teacher EVER
an average prof.
Awesome Professor. He is skilled at discussing the material at varying levels, which enables him to engage students at levels. Plus he makes the material fun, you never get bored or clock watch in his courses. And he give much thought to the books he assigns, they are never boring or outdated. If you get the chance--take him.
very easy, and understandable
Such a great teacher, such a great class. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Sucks
Very clear and very interesting. He's a very enthralling professor, you never want to miss a class. It's amazing how much knowledge he has.
Awesome dude, great classes.
Citino is the expert in his field and an expert at teaching. I only had a slight interest in history until taking his course and now I am two classes away from my masters. Thank you Citino for your dedication and energy it really has inspired me.
Awesome Prof. Great interest in the subject, and really knows his stuff. He moved the exam for the Tiger's Opening Day! Exams were good, if you came to lectures and read the book.
Very enthusiastic and Knowledgable
He is an exceptional Professor and actually cares about his students and goes the extra mile(s)to ensure they get the material. He is knowledgeable, funny and engaging. Any student is fortunate to take any of his courses. Prof. Citino unconsciously demonstrates repeatedly why he is 2007's #1 Professor :):)
Great teacher. Learned a great deal from him. Challenging.
He teaches graduate students how to produce great work. He emphasizes cultural and conceptual aspects of education. He assists students in comprehending most assigned reading. He doesn't emphasize military history.
Quest for Power is without a doubt, the best class offered at Eastern-even if you don't like history. Dr. Citino is funny and very knowledgable. This class presents material in many different ways and he definately trys to make learning fun and entertaining. Fairly easy honors class and the best available-Take this class or any class with Citino!
Great professor. This class has been one of the most enjoyable and interesting classes I have ever taken. As long as you go to class and take good notes you will do fine.
This is my first time to rate him and I want to say he's worth all the hype. An outstanding professor.
Professor Citino is a masterpiece of a professor. The man is an absolute genius regarding all military-based studies. He is the professor I've always prayed for since playing GI Joe as a kid! (and now, a much larger, more educated kid!) If more "Powerpoint Profs" would take his lead, I wouldn't have to pay for so many useless, boring credit hours.
One of the best professors I've ever had. He's very passionate about German History and the Holocaust. He is very helpful and really funny!!
horrible
Great!
One of best professor I have ever had!!
He is the best teacher I have ever had! I not only learned a lot he made the class fun and interesting.
The recent media attention he received is warranted. Robert Citino is an excellent professor who goes above and beyond in giving excellent lectures, being personable, and proofing writing.
Yes this is an A1 man. Fine fine man he is.
Great guy and excellent teacher. I enjoyed the class.
i have not additional comments

Citino is an amazing teacher that knows how to relate to his students. He is demanding and his classes (I have only had upper level classes) should be taken by those who are serious about history. He is helpful when a student needs help and make class interesting.
He really is a great professor and he makes warfare accessible AND fun! Ya gotta give the guy props for that! He gives the proverbially 110% to every class. Uses interesting texts, provides instructive feedback and loves his field. If a student has a question Dr. C is always ready to help. And the guy can throw down on pop culture questions!!
His class is ok. I dont understand the big deal that everyone makes about him, most of my friends who also took the class said that he is an interesting guy but not even close to being the best professor they have had.
You haven't taken a college class until you have had one with Citino. This guy can talk about marching and make it interesting. He is the most passionate teacher I have ever had in my life. He flies around the room and makes every lecture enjoyable to attend. I wish he wasn't going to West Point. If EMU had any sense, they should keep him around.
Dr. Citino teaches with such a passion, and deep understanding of the materials, that you can not help but become engaged in the discussion. His innate ability to reach out to students and draw them in is something that can not be taught. He is intellegent, well informed, quite humorous and just a really nice professor and guy.
he gave everyone meat pies on the first day of class!!
This prof made me want to change my major to history - he made it come alive!
Citino is everything a student could want in a professor. He is accessible, and so is his course material. His upper-level classes are definitely for people with a prior interest in history, but I would recommend EVERYONE take some kind of class with him. He's a great guy.
Brilliant, hilarious, and just plain cool. He is so enthusiastic about the subject that you can't help but to get caught up in it with him. Most importantly, he is the most accessible professor I've had. He always takes time for questions or comments and he made me feel respected and valuable as a student.
Is there anything this man doesn't know? History, pop culture, languages, etc., he is knowledgeable about it all. He made a basic history class interesting. He is also very willing to help students out. His tests are neither too easy nor too hard, and you can tell he wants students to succeed.
His style of teaching is wonderful. It's hard to take notes when then information that he is presenting is so interesting and entertaining. He also takes the time to meet all of his students which is very nice.
An excellent professor and an excellent writer. Check out some of his books. How he can teach full time and write this good is incredible. Taking his class is an Excellent Adventure. Party on dude!
Exhilarating, imaginative, Citino deftly accomplishes it all, and then surpasses it, a masterful groundbreaking triumph; perhaps the best profesor of all time.
very cool, but not one of my favs
coolest P i've ever had
GREAT PROFESSOR
He's as great as everybody says!
Epic.
Rob Citino was the best teacher I have ever had. His knowledge, care, and enthusiasm may be enough, but to all of our benefit he also possess an entrancing sense of humour and most honorable glow.
Twenty years ago he was the best professor at LEC in Painesville. It sounds like nothing has changed. Absolutely the best!
It's great that an instructor treats students good. His classes are good.
Everything he does is done exceptionally well. How someone can work this hard and still have such a great personality is beyond me. Doesn't he get wore out and crabby?
The class is a success because Robert Citino keeps the momentum. An exhilarating pace of intellectual fodder, delivered by a fiery dynamo of charasmatic energy.
Robert Citino is a shining star at Eastern Michigan University.
Excellent professor with a great personality and always goes above and beyond.
Like John Travolta on the dance floor in Saturday Night Fever, he has a mesmerizing Italian gravitas. You can't take your eyes off him.
I actually looked forward to going to every single class. I feel like I got my money's worth. Professor Citino is not an easy grader just for the record. We like him because he is like an actor on stage. He could be lecturing on acorns and I would find it interesting. It is sad that he is leaving EMU.
Don't miss this class! He brings the subject matter to life.
this professor has moved to the university of north texas
A genuinely excellent instructor who peaks your interest level and keeps it beautifully sustained.
I have him for 2 history classes at UNT. He is amazing! He cares about his students and wants to see you do well. He knows is history & he is lively, enjoyable, & makes the students eager to learn more. Come to class, take notes, & study to do well. He inpires me to be a better history teacher for my future students! Sign up for any of his classes
THE COOLEST TEACHER! His lecture is mostly speaking and you will need a recorder or something to know what he is talking about. Make sure you get everything he say and you will do good! He's great!
Awesome, awesome teacher! He knows his stuff and is really knowledgeable! He makes you want to come to class. Just listen and write down what he says. His tests are easy if you pay attention.
Dr. Citino had a great reputation before I took his class. Let's just say he didn't let me down. He is enthusiastic, fun, and passionate about his teaching. I wish I wasn't graduating so that I could take more classes with him. I adjusted my work schedule for the first time in 3 years just so I could take his class. I am so glad that I did!
WONDERFUL-so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. You will learn so much from this prof. Great reading selection!
This is the only History class I've EVER looked forward to going to . Dr Citino, is great teacher. He is very knowledgeable and interesting. He made me care about hist. and three years later, I still remember what I learned in the class
