Poor lecturerer and biased
Prof. Rakove is a poor lecturer he often divurged into non-sense that is unrelated to the course. He admits, frequently, that he doesn't remember or didn't look up a fact. He tries to convey some ideas and few facts. It is easy to try to convey ideas if you don't have facts to support your premises. Lastly, his own personal biases intrude on almost every lecture. These wre taped in the fall of 2008 and he comments on things happening at that time, occasionally relating them back to his course, and displays his personal beliefs. I would much rather listen to someone who knows his facts and keeps hi opinions to himself.

So interesting that I listened to it twice! Prof. Rakove is a very interesting lecturer.
