Gelvin is a great dude, and REALLY F*CKING SMART.
He has a no-nonsense approach. He is blunt about his intentions and expectations.
If you go to lecture, he will literally lay out all you need to know, in a clear outline form. He actually makes it painfully easy and simple to understand the material. And to all of you who aren't into history or Middle East history, he doesn't expect you to remember basically any names or dates.
The two papers are kind of annoying, as they are both about books that don't have a whole lot to do with the subject matter. The final is standard, IDs and essay questions. It's easy to prepare for the essay questions - as I said, he literally will lay out an outline FOR YOU in class.
I'm a Middle Eastern + North African Studies Major, so to the few of you who care about his perspective on modern Middle East politics - he basically thinks that all of the various populations/leaders of the Middle East are equally stupid. It's hilarious.
All in all, the papers are annoying, but reading is light and lectures are entertaining. Take the class.
