Eric Jacobson

I really enjoyed taking the class because it was a very unique class that Middlebury does not usually offer. Professor Jacobson was incredibly passionate about the topics he taught and it showed when he gave lectures. Midd should give him more classes to teach!!!

I very much enjoyed this course and Jacobson was very interesting. I clung to every word he said. The readings were long but quite useful. The only reason why I can imagine this course got bad reviews is that it does require work unlike most other j-term courses. If you want j-term play-term, maybe take another course. However, I recommend this to anyone who has any interest in political/philosophical theory or history.

The concepts themselves in this class are very complicated, but professor the best he can to make them intelligible. Lots of reading and the class structure is that we review the reading every class. He is very smart and eager to share his knowledge, although the material and the language of the reading is hard to understand.
