I thought Professor Hellbeck was great! Yes, his papers required a lot of reading and careful thought. But I didn't think it was more work than any other class. He says you are graded on participation, but I didn't say one word in class and still got an "A" :)

He's a decent prof. But a tough grader. His questions are kind of difficult to understand sometimes. And I felt he should've elaborated the questions for the essays. In my opinion, sometimes it's not always the students fault and it could be the Professor's fault! This is something I think he needs to understand! Anyway still enjoyed his class!

What I don't understand is that he expected a perfect essay with the limited time he gave us. Unlike the midterm in which we had way over a week to work on this we barely had about 5 days. He wanted us to be patient and give him enough to time correct the papers but I don't see he couldn't give us more time to write a better essay. Double standard

Awesome professor. He grades very fairly (easily), as long as you do a fair amount of the reading you should be fine. Has a lot of really cool anecdotes about WWII which lets him connect to his students a lot more. Make sure you attend classes as it'll help a lot in your essays. They're very interesting anyway.

I really enjoyed his class. He gave us a very different perspective on WW2 by letting read diaries of many important writers. If I only had not taken 18 credits, I probably would have written better essays. But since I so many classes to focus on, I could'nt write the best essay i possibly could. i recommend students to take his class.

Among the best teachers I have had at Rutgers. Do the primary source readings and link them into your essays and you will get an A.

Professor Hellbeck is awesome! He presents the material in an extremely interesting way and he even takes you on a field trip (ok, only to the Zimmerli but still, it's something)! If you have a strong interest in the subject you will learn a lot. He is by far one of the best History proffesors I have had thus far at Rutgers.

This is really a great professor. He is excellent in lectures, and very organized. The way he presents material is captivating, and he is very understanding toward students. He does want everyone to do well, as long as you are sincere. and he is SUPER hot
HIST102
Just show up and listen closely. If u don't pay attention get ready to read A LOT. Otherwise just listen and/or take notes. Just study for exams (few terms, put a source in context, and an essay). 2 Exams plus 2 essays. Not that hard just try to address all the issues. He is a bit unclear at times but just ask and he is willing to help.
HIST102
Make sure you are able to attend EVERY class. He email response is dismal (emailed him 3 times to finally get a response that said "Well I hope you can get your Spring Break money back because I will not give you a make up exam." He is well spoken but expects you to be able to read around 60 pages for each class.So be very careful when you register

This guy is cool. He is willing to help you do well in the course. Lots of reading, some boring, some good. This is a very hard class if you are not a history major (like myself but you will learn a lot. If your a chick you'll be in love with him.
Soviet Rev
Good professor. Though he get carried away sometimes and some of his lectures a plain boring. If you like to analyze history - this class is for you. If you like to memorize things this class might kill your GPA. He was not clear on the things of importance.

HIS 247
