Maybe somebody could help me with this one. Back in about '93 or so, I took Intro to Western Civilization 2 (I think it was History 202) with a great professor. He said he normally taught upper level courses, but liked to teach intro courses every once in a while to try and get people excited about history. He was a great teacher and really funny. He followed the book in terms of chronology, but his lectures were on whatever subject he thought was interesting from the time period we were on in class. He did a whole lecture on Beethoven and another one on the Warsaw Ghetto. He would always get off topic & just go on about whatever was on his mind. I remember he would pull the leg hairs of students that fell asleep in class.
I loved his class and he was one of the main factors that got me interested in social science. Unfortunately, I can't remember his name. Does anyone know of a history professor like I'm describing? He had a beard, if that helps.
