HIST193C . 2 Years Ago

Great professor who clearly knows a lot and is passionate about his work. I took two of his classes - one was the French Revolution and the other a research seminar - and learned a lot in both. Classes are clearly laid out and tests were graded fairly. Really nice guy who strives to help you succeed.

HIST193C . 2 Years Ago

One of the only profs who was clear about the grading criteria and we could expect the same thing every week. Have to participate every lecture (once a week) for points; just do the very manageable readings. Midterm + final were an essay on a book of choice, taking him again next qtr! Easy on the eyes and lenient if you've been participating.

HIST193C . 3 Years Ago

Very interesting course content on a region I don't see much about. Weekly lectures and reading on your own, one live discussion a week. He will ask guiding questions to get people to interact and speak up but if something's unclear he'll explain it. Written or oral (15 min) book report on a book of choice. Easy to talk to and really friendly guy.
