HIST17C . 1 Year, 5 Months Ago

I loved this class. I learned so much valuable information and professor ya in did an amazing job at lecturing and explaining events.

HIST17C . 1 Year, 7 Months Ago

Not a bad class overall. Three main papers throughout the quarter which were easy enough and graded leniently. Participation assignments scattered throughout, mandatory section attendance. Course content wasn't that engaging to someone who doesn't like history, but the lectures were easy to follow and the material was well-presented.

Professor Yaqub is by far one of my favorite professors at UCSB. I took his 17C class during the pandemic. His lectures were so fun and interesting. He always found ways to include music, art, politics, philosophy etc in the material he was teaching. I wish I could take more of his classes, 100% would recommend.

HIST17C . 3 Years Ago

Ngl I hated this class but I'm pretty biased bc I don't like hist to begin with, I had to take it for a prereq. His lectures were so overly detailed they got boring and I literally stopped watching them after the 2nd week. 6 full hour prerecoeded lectures per week?? No thanks. I think there were 3 papers total and a weekly discord post.

LOTS of reading but the lectures are enjoyable since he makes them more like podcasts. Your grade depends on your TA but I got lucky and had an easygoing one.

Prof. Yaqub is great! His lectures make history seem so interesting and he is super accessible outside class. He has 2 papers and a written final, though, and those assignments are super tedious because the prompts are a bit confusing, or there are a lot of mini prompts in one big prompt. He is great though!
