Great Professor, plain & simple. Has a great sense of humor during class and truly loves the material he is teaching. His lectures are straight forward and provide a great background to the material you read, as well as expand on the material and connect it to present day times. The exams (essentially 3 midterms) are 1 short answer and 1 essay that are usually based on the readings, but ask you to incorporate lecture material into them for a full, complete answer. The readings can be a little bit boring at times, but the overall topics are quite fascinating. Absolutely do all the readings and go to every class, he does a random sign up sheet that accounts for 10% of your grade. Oh, and make sure you meet with him outside of class, that dude knows so much on this stuff that he can't possibly convey it solely during lecture (really helps get you that A on the tests).
