I found the professor very dynamic, although it took me 2-3 lectures to get comfortable with him, his way of lecturing, his jokes and asides. more
The constant digressions of thought are just too exhausting to keep up with. Love the info presented but I need the speaker to be less easily distracted by everything.
I pushed through because it's a topic I like. I learned some interesting facts but almost went crazy because he says, "y'know" so much. His voice in general is like that of the professor's on the Simpsons. The points he makes about the difference between the colonial religions were interesting.

He's erudite, witty, incredibly well-read, a polymath who isn't afraid to bring Thomas Kuhn and Karl Popper into a discussion on what it is historians do, or Alfred Crosby (the man Jared Diamond stole all his ideas from) on the science of early history. Grab this and listen to it over and over (I'm on my third listening now).
Prof. Rakove is a poor lecturer he often divurged into non-sense that is unrelated to the course. He admits, frequently, that he doesn't remember or didn't look up a fact. He tries to convey some ideas and few facts. It is easy to try to convey ideas if you don't have facts to support your premises. Lastly, his own personal biases intrude on almost every lecture. These wre taped in the fall of 2008 and he comments on things happening at that time, occasionally relating them back to his course, a... more
I enjoyed this course, and I hope that more are posted. I just wish all of the classes where included.
