Great professor.

Professor Sable's class is very insightful: he delves into the heart of issues such as: philosophy, economics, politics, war and social issues.

HNRS 173 is a small lecture style class so the setting afforded him with the ability to philosophize on the issues rather than run through them quickly like in larger lecture style class. In this environment, Professor Sable clearly evinces his high level of education, however I can't say if he exudes this knowledge as effectively in a larger class.

Class breakdown: read the assigned pages, discuss the readings (he hands out questions for that week to be discussed, so everything is organized), bring your books to every class and participate. Although, he doesn't appreciate any nonsensical comments which can't be supported by the book. Literally, he will ask you where in the book can you find support for your claim?

Grading: I consider him a stickler-professor when it comes to grading essays and grammar. Sometimes I did great and other times not so great. After taking his class, your writing will improve by at least twofold. He has higher expectations when it comes to writing so be open-minded and don't shy away from asking him for help.

Overall, great class! It is a disservice to yourself if you don't take this class, especially if you're a poli sci, philosophy, or history major.
