I listened to the Old/New Imperialism podcast. I wrote my thoughts as I listened to the podcast.
This guy is crazy, he is totally obsessed with the british empire cartoon on his screen. I think he is very A.D.D. I do like how he teaches with analogies to real life and how he lightens up the class with jokes but you still learn stuff. He tells a sweet story about Dr. Livingston and Henry Stanley. He goes in depth about the important people.
Overall i liked the podcast but he continuously goes off crazy like on the topics. I did learn alot baout how Britain tried to take over AFrica and such. He also read a poem that Nick might like called The White Man's Burden. Just kidding Nick.
I listened to both the old/new imperialism podcast and the Asia and Africa Imperialism podcast and I found both of them to be very useful learning tools. Stips is a good teacher, it seems from the podcasts, and he keeps the lectures interesting with jokes and always connecting it to modern times. I like how he sticks closely to the mercado notes so it makes it easy to follow and he does a good job of connecting the notes together and making it easier to understand. One of the things I liked best was that he actually read the "white man's burden" poem. In the end I found the podcasts very helpful and the fact he even made a review was icing on the cake. The review he made was probably the most useful thing because it helped me test my comprehension of the notes and his lecture. Overall, I feel the podcasts are a great review tool or an adequate substitute if we miss one of your lectures.
I also listened to the Old/New Imperialism podcast. Stip is definitely pretty crazy but he's got a lot of good stuff to say and I agree with Bosco that he does really well connecting everything in the chapter. He's pretty funny and has interesting stories that relate so it's easy to listen to his lectures.
