Knowledgeable professor in terms of lecture material and is a good interactor with the class. Everything in the class was done through the TA, who was a harsh grader. Also, only four assignments were given the entire semester, so if you didn't do great on one of them, it was hard to get an A.Rate My Professors ↗
Rosenblum is a a great lecturer with lots of knowledge and passion about the course subjects. I would take a class with him again if it was with a different TA. 5(ish) essays with a VERY condescending and rude TA who grades harshly. Very unhelpful too. Discussion attendance mandatory.Rate My Professors ↗
Rosenblum is like a professor out of a movie. Lectures fascinating. Readings not super long, often antiquated/Biblical language. Four papers. Grading harsh (law student standards; I witnessed a student who'd never gotten below an A receive her first 70). Grading standards clear, lots of feedback. Topics varied, never boring. Discussion mandatory.Rate My Professors ↗
The professor certainly knew the material and was very excited to teach it. Lectures could be more organized, though they could be understood so long as you did the assigned reading. The grading scale is a bit harsh with 94% required for an A. There are two papers with an extremely open-ended prompt. I strongly recommend meeting with a TA for them.Rate My Professors ↗
Not a great class or professor. Extremely boring if you are not interested in the subject, and you have to go to lecture he refuses to post his slides. There's 4 papers and thats your entire grade, and they are graded harshly. Would not recommend to anyone if you are not interested in the class.Rate My Professors ↗
Honestly, I would recommend everyone at UW takes a course with Prof Rosenblum! Did you ever think you could be laughing so hard it hurts about a lecture? I honestly think Prof. Rosenblum should do stand-up comedy. His lectures are so engaging, and I have too many random quotes from this man stored in a funny quote document!Rate My Professors ↗
