the good: Wohl is a brilliant man. He knows so much I don't think there is much room in his brain for lecturing skills. He is also a genuine lover of people. He cares a ton about student involvement, but never seems to be around. He really knows and loves his subject.

the not so good: BORING! There seem to be a lot of differing reviews on this guy. The truth is that he is terribly boring unless you are a genius in the subjects he speaks of. DO NOT TAKE HIM FOR A SEMINAR. You do not want to be in his class for 3 hours. He never responds to emails and is highly unavailable. In truth, there are a few simple ways that he could make his lectures more interesting, but he just doesn't do it. I think he has the potential people skills and the brains to be one of the top professors at this school, if only he could put all these things into his lecture form.

In short, do not take his class. You can do better in the history department. But having said that, I agree he is absolutely adorable. I'd want him for a grandpa, but not a professor.
