Justin Shapiro HIST329W Expecting an A Anonymous 09/19/2023	Professor Shapiro has a very pleasant personality, thoroughly knows the material he’s teaching and can lecture in a way that captures interest, and makes sure the assignments are relevant to the material and encourage research and discussion on the topic. I only had a slight interest in the history of climate science and thanks to him I was much more interested by the time I turned in my final paper for the class. The sole criticism I will make is that there were a lot of assigned readings per week, and while most were interesting not all of them seemed relevant to the in-class discussions or paper prompts, nor were all of them needed to use as sources for writing papers. I really don’t have anything negative to say about Prof. Shapiro, though. If you take a class with him be prepared to participate in discussions with your fellow classmates, as he heavily prioritizes this. Prof. Shapiro was my favorite professor last semester. If you see he’s teaching something, take it!
