The best professor I had in my four years at AU. Brilliant, encyclopedically knowledgable, and unlike some negative commenters have said always provides ample evidence to back up all claims. You will not find a class with better guest speakers or a more comprehensive (if not necessarily organized) study of the subject. An absolute must-take.

I can see how people have mixed feelings. He does like to name-drop and talk about himself, but I still liked him and enjoyed the class. He's very open to comments and is very knowledgeable in his field. He's a very nice person and the reading list for the class was great.

Great professor, with a great interest in this field. Funny with a wonderful sense of humor about history. He works hard to make the 20th century interesting to Early American scholars. Loved the class, worked hard in, it but learned a lot. He is willing to work with students and answer questions.

Fun class. Kind of a joke. A very revisionist history course but if you keep an open mind it's pretty fun. It's cool how he ties pop culture to history. The books are not necessary but good reads if you're interested. You can get an A and put no work into it if you want. Half of his speakers cancel.

Peter Kuznick teaches a polemic, not history. He then expects you to exclude anything resembling a polemic from your papers. His lectures are not structured and make no sense the way they are laid out. You can't even take notes in his class because of the way he refuses to transition to points. A ridiculous amount of work for a 200 level class.

Probably the best professor I've had or will ever have. He's brilliant and liberal, both are apparent in his lectures. Has great connections and brings in interesting speakers. You must take him before you leave AU.

Kuznick is one of the smartest people I've met. Also one of the most liberal. He expresses his views in the classroom, but does not bias in grading and intelligently debates with students. Also has great connections leading to awesome guest speakers. That said, the class fell behind very quickly. Definitely take the class.

He's a very good teacher. Sure he's a little bit biased, but what proffessor isn't? Plus, he's got great connections and can get alot of cool guest speakers.

Had a lot of fun in this class..but be prepared, some of the lectures get very political (prof swings very much to the left). Workload isn't bad, but you can't really fudge your way around it...you've gotta be prepared. In the end though, prof wants to help you out as much as possible, and at least making an effort will help you out.

Class is easier than you'd expect. covers alot, expects alot of reading, etc. but in the end he's just trying to give everyone the best grade he can. He's very engaging. I suggest you take his classes.
