One of the most interesting history teachers I've ever had.
Wonderful teacher! Made my Government experience easy to get through
Easy class, he tells great stories.
Has a chip on his shoulder, talks about his childhood not class material
Very interesting and extremely knowledgeable about topic
Great Teacher, Keeps you interested
OK if you like swearing
Great teacher, excellent guy, but makes his tests a bit harder than expected.
With out a doubt the smartest insrtucter I've had..be sure to study for tests!!
Used hard words.
He gives you lots of notes and long periods before test, but he is awsome
I liked this class. I had to take it twice (once from someone else).
I never knew that I liked history so much. He sparked something in me
No Comments
He knows a lot about politics and compares America to other nations as well.
He wants you to get a good grade. I studied and got an A. Very interestingclass
A lot of great stories......
great prof, but it was like this was a history class
He will blast you if you screw up, but he is very smart
I am not a traditional student, and he made me work. I loved it
Took summer class, stories are interesting, but class material is boring!
I took all his classes. Very memorable teacher; good overview of history
If you don't like history I advise you seek another teacher. Slackers Beware!
He is interesting and sometimes odd.
Hard class. But, I feel like I learned something
Smart, a bit dogmatic. Very interesting; have to work. No patience for stupidity
cool guy, he doesn't swear that much!, wants you to do well, very had tests,
Incredible teacher; great, humorous lecturer. ONLY for those w/ thick skins tho
A great history prof. He has a good sense of humor as well.
Best Prof I ever had.
My head hurts
His classes are always full. Unfortunately its his ego that fills the seats!
Nice guy, great stories, HARD TESTS!!
Great Prof. Hardest 101 class i ever had. excellent stories. Very Hard Tests!
The guy who changed my career path to that of History Teacher - back in 97!
wouldn't take gov from anyone else.
Insane stuff. I learned a lot
Great guy, very smart, and very funny!
Amazing
Amazing
Superb teacher and amazing man. Without a doubt the best instructor I've had.
He's the reason that I'm getting a PHD in history.He saved my life.
Hard course, Awesome/Incorrigible prof. An overall blast!
Hey the lectures may seem long, but the test is very reasonable. He does a good job in teaching.
No Comments
ask him about his trips to ireland-- the stories are interesting, but are they true?
BEST TEACHER THERE AMZING MAN PROBABLY THE SMARTEST GUY I KNOW WITH ALOT INTERESTING LIFE STORIES.
He is an amazing professor that has a huge depth of knowledge.
Great professor, long lectures but he makes them very interesting. Very knowledgeable on many different subjects. If you're into history at all, take him, and if you're Irish, definitely take him!
Hated him, always shoving his beliefs on the class, didn't care if history told another story only told what he wanted you to hear. If you asked a question he always made you look stupid and then the class laughed at you, swears alot
i usually like the class lectures. you must take good notes and remember many small details for the tests which makes them very hard for me. do the readings.
HIS LECTURES ARE VERY LONG. MAKE SURE YOU DRINK ALOT OF COFFEE BEFORE YOU GO B/C HIS LECTURE CAN BE BORING. HE DOES HAVE ALOT OF INTERESTING STORIES. IF YOU DONT LIKE SWEARING THEN DONT TAKE HIS CLASS
This is my 2nd Semester with Schlosser. This man is amazing. He is a true asset to the college. His greatest attributes are passion and knowlege (alot). I am a History major, and I don't think professors come any better. I suggest everyone take him!!!
Hard teacher, but worth taking, funny guy with good stories
Clear, concise, funny, brilliant. He has his own opinions and he's not afraid to share them, but he will present ALL the sides of the issue and let you make up your own mind- someting most GRCC student are incapable of doing.
Awesome stories. Not for the weak of stomach. Likes interaction. Huge well of knowledge.

ok class, having two straight hours of lecture with no break was a little difficult, but he had interesting stories
Great Stories!
Has really great stories! Swears a lot, but you get used to it.
Absolutely awful! His bias clouds his information so HORRIBLY that I have little faith in my notes. Schlosser tends to change information to create parallels to current events (mainly the Iraq war). He transfers (terribly) in and out of Vietnam stories. "Barbarians; babblers; people who say nothing"
Should have dropped when i had the chance. The tests did not correspond to lecture material or readings. Constantly was making negative comments on politics and america. Lots of swearing. To old to care if he is doing a good job. Very hard to get a good grade. 2hrs lecture with no break! Do not take
Swears A LOT!!!! Has really good stories, though! Don't take him, you won't pass! :P
Mr.Schlosser is very hard. If I knew I was going to have him ahead of time I would of switched teachers.The tests have hardly anything to do with the two hour long lecture.Expect to spend hours in the libary reading old smelly books and then remember a sentence from what you read for the test.
I worked hard & got the A, but wouldn't take another w/him ever! Lecture/Text had nothing to do with the decades-old tests he gave! Grades a curve not connected to reality!! His answers are in NO WAY related to your ???! Don't miss-you'll be lost! Final is comprehensive no matter WHAT he tells you!
Awesome teacher, lots of relating stories. he is a must to have if not already done
Definately one in a million. I had so much fun learning from this guy that I decided to go on one of his European trips. He tells great stories even though sometimes the relevence of the stories to the lecture is difficult to find. A Definately recommended teacher if fun learning is a priority.
The best teacher I have ever had. No other teacher compares to Roger. He has a reaistic and cynical view of History. Yes, he does lecture for two hours straight, but with no notes. Really knows his stuff, every History Major should take his classes. HS 101, 102 and PS 101. Easy class if dedicated.
Awesome teacher. This guy really knows what he's talking about. All of his notes just come from his head, and it's amazing to hear everything he knows. Even little tiny details. Defiantley the teacher to have.
awsome teacher, easy to get along with, very infomitive, but has u takes TONS of notes & be prepared to do ALOT of reading!!!

VERY funny - always sharing jokes and telling stories. At the same time, he manages to get you to learn, and to remember what you learn.
Haha, nice enough guy, English history was kind of fun... but do NOT let this man think you're distracted in his class. Specifically, never play chess (even of the small magnetic kind) in his classroom, or he WILL cuss and throw your butte out! Hahahahaha... personal experience.
I do not care for this "professor". He is filled with an anti-Christian bias, tells stories that dont really relate to the subject in any way, goes down rabbit trails all the time, and his tests have little or nothing to do with the book or notes he gives in class. I would definately advise not taking this guy's classes.
He talks about nothing substantially related to what you would expect to learn from a western civ class. I could teach his class better. Person in front of me got a 100% on first exam, i did better on scantron than he did(he missed 4/36=12%, strange) and I got a B-. Unfair, unprofessional, unfit to teach at a college level."only 3 more years"-him

If anyone thinks he sucks...it must run in the family because I had his wife at West Catholic for english and she sucked ass!
Very into it, wants every detail, very unfair grading, could shorten class by an hour if he stayed on topic.
Terrible teacher! Our second test the highest score in the class was 69 out of 150. He graded on a curve so he had to double everyone's score and then add 12 points. If you have him I would switch out.
i could not stand to go to his class he was so boring. he always got off subject and was just very annoying. if you have his class, get out
No HOMEWORK! Loved that. Just 4 exams and an easy quiz. Drifts into stories a lot, but he has a point for every one.
OK, so the class is hard but he is a fun guy. He has so much knowledge of the subject therefore he does want detail. He does talk a lot, and does drift into side stories but they all have a meaning to them. The people that say the tests are hard are right, but if you enjoy history and study you will do just fine.
Unbelievably an off-topic type of teacher. You WILL recieve C's even though you know everything. He talks about random things and then throws them on his long & hard tests. IF you have him GET OUT!
I took his class online. It was an okay class but its hard to know what to study for so be in contact with him for his help. He is very understanding.
Certainly one of the greatest enlightened minds of today. He not only knows his stuff but he also knows how to teach it. To take his class is to learn, to learn is to take his class. "Unenlightened" people will not truly "learn" outside of his teachings. Magnificent.
I learned more from this man than I have from any other human being in a long, long time. If you take a class from him, you will learn a lot. Fun and VERY entertaining!
If you want the experience of a lifetime, go with him to Ireland. Roger knows so much, and for those who show interest, will give you all he's got. One of the best anywhere; has his faults, but who among us doesn't? He positively will not suffer fools, and I suspect that explains many of the negative comments you see on this site. Take his class!!!
He tends to be boring but he is a funny guy. It is extremely easy to pass his exams.. just take the notes he write on the board (this will be the essay questions) and you should get an A just by knowing this. wing the multiple choice and you'll be fine.
History has always been interesting to me. I took HS 290 (Russian History) with him and did well. The worst thing about him is his tendency to swear frequently. Otherwise I found him to be a decent teacher.
LOVED him. I graduated with a psych degree but this was the best prof I EVER had at any school!
Mr. Schlosser is like Marmite, you either hate him or luv 'im ...I absolutely adored him! Even after all of these years, I have fond memories of him. I took at least 3 of his classes intentionally. Shame he never taught Philosophy, he would've been fab. P.S. I marked him "Hot" b/c he is so smart and that is so very, very sexy! ;-)
What an amazing prof. It's been 5 years since I took his class and I still think about the guy. I became a history teacher because of him, and I never regret a day. Real genius and puts history into a modern perspective. Got some great stories too. I'll never forget when he cracks a diet pop in his classroom.."Ahhh, sounds of the weekend"
He is one of my favorite professors ever.
Took his Irish History class, easily one of the most influential and well-taught classes I've ever taken. He's usually pretty difficult as a teacher, but the content is rich, he's VERY informative, and he is an AMAZING human being. If you're up for a challenge, he comes with my top recommendation!
Schlosser is awesome! I hated having to take American Government, but having him as an instructor made up for it. As long as you can handle brutal honesty and some profanities, he is the best teacher at GRCC. I prefer a teacher who is real and who is not afraid to say what he thinks, and that is Schlosser. Take him any chance you get!!
He doesn't teach as much as tell historical bed time stories. He is completely unable to stay focused while lecturing as his attention span is less than that of an infant. He doesn't use the textbook at all. My class has not opened the textbook even once throughout the course of this class.
he was AMAZING...can't say enough good things about this man. my mom had him and so did i...take him, you will learn tons. made me pick history as my major, but no teacher could compare after him. LOVE HIM!
Not a fan. I think he really failed to make the subject interesting by overloading us with personal and irrelevant stories. He's rigid in his teaching style and discourages class discussion and participation. Even though the lectures seem simple, the tests are extremely difficult. Do yourself a favor and find a different history prof..
This guy is hilarious,often has class fighting back tears of laughter.Knows what hes talking about & tells it like it is.uses profanity.tells many stories that r all very interesting& relate 2 topic.never remembers how far he got w/ each class so sometimes you'll hear the exact same story more than once which is a annoying.never uses book in class
This has been one of my favorite professors I have had. He is very open and blunt. Very funny keeps things interesting, but also relates to things that are going on in class. The only thing is he forgets where he is from class to class, so sometimes repetitive.
HORRIBLE. he uses about 10 minutes of class time to teach and the rest is stories about his life which have no relation to what we are learning in class. he swears all the time. even when there's no point to, just to come off as a hard ass. he teaches government but is one minded and refuses to accept other people's points of view.
I LOVED this class. He was crazy funny, test were hard, be prepared for lots of note taking and studying.
Did not like him one bit! If you love to take notes and get off topic all the time, he would be great for you. He would talk about history for 20 mins then tell stupid stories that have nothing to do with the class.If your not a good test taker, you will hate this class only 5 test and no assignments which means your grade is based on your tests
By far the most knowledgeable professor at grcc. His class is not easy, but if you attend lecture and take notes it's no problem. Wouldn't recommend it for those of you just looking for an easy A with no work involved, but if you're in college to learn TAKE HIS CLASSES. This man could teach history at any university he wanted to.
Absolutely amazing prof! He tells you exactly what is going to be on the test and reviews it at the beginning of each class. Just pay attention and take notes on the things he stresses and you will do fine. You can bomb the MC test questions but still get an A from the essays which are always on the class lectures.
Schlosser is the best proff I have ever had hands down! I came in to his class expecting it to be alright at best, and it blew me out of the water. He is extremely helpful, giving handouts that clearly outline test material; these with notes is a guaranteed A+. Only time I opened my book was at the end of the semester for our last test.
Seriously my FAV. by far! great professor! makes class interesting! great sense of humor!
Schlosser is the best professor at cc, the most knowledgable man on campus. He may come off as intimidating but he is extremely helpful and is very clear on what is to be expected out of you in his class. Make sure to attend EVERY lecture and to take notes, good notes. My favorite professor at GRCC.
Wow, is this guy still teaching? I had him back in 1974, and he turned me into a history junkie. I have earned two undergraduate degrees, and his history class was the single most memorable class I ever took. He presented the point of view of every person or group or religion or ?? from that person's viewpoint - very convincingly. My best prof...
Best prof I ever had. I loved American History, but thought World History would be boring. Was I ever wrong. He taught history through literature and required us to read Oedipus Rex. As a result, I fell in love w/ Greek lit as well.
This professor is very passionate about the subject and his lectures are very interesting and informative. I would recommend taking his course.
