Bulliet, Richard Silver_nugget
[HIST W3700] Main Currents of Middle Eastern History

Please keep in mind that this review is more than 5 years old.

Bulliet is a really cool guy. His lectures were always composed of - and often entirely of - anecdotes of his years in Iran. The first day of class he lectured on ancient irrigation systems, which doesn't sound so exciting but turned out ot be really interesting. A couple weeks later we had an actual geography quiz. Admittedly, it was basically just memorizing an atlas but it's about time someone paid attention to geography.

Workload:

Pretty light- expect to read his books, such as one on the domistication of the camel. Midterm, paper, final. Generous grading.
