Dr. Robert Neer is a passionate and talented instructor. He is deeply knowledgable about the US military and is able to articulate and guide the classroom discussion towards gratifying arguments.

I'll admit that I had absolutely no idea what I had signed up for, Empire of Liberty was the only thing that fit in my schedule over the summer, but I am so glad I took this class. ... Overall, I really liked taking Professor Neer's class and would recommend it to anyone interested in history academically or recreationally.

“Very strong in all respects. One of the best professors I have had."

“Super approachable, friendly and knowledgeable.”

Prof. Neer is one of the very best professors I have ever had. He's professional, courteous and, most of all, truly cares about his students. And he really knows his materials. [Columbia student]
