145A . 12 Days Ago

I really enjoyed his class. He is a super nice guy, Super knowledgeable this class consisted of three essays Worth 25% of your grade each and the remaining 25% as participation. The essays were super easy and he gives 3-day extensions on them just in case, without penalty. this class is Super Easy A just show up

145A . 3 Years Ago

I took Hist 145C with Prof. Sabra and it was clear he had an in-depth understanding of the topic. He's a very nice guy and accommodating. As a history major, I enjoyed the class and had a pretty easy time on the essays. The lectures were fast and full of exposition but that teaching style was perfect for me. I would recommend!

Monotone. Extremely dry lectures. Found myself in deep thought waiting for him to finish his sentence. Two essays, one final, and participation. Attendance matters. Bleh.

HIST46 . A Month Ago

Not a hard class, since it's graded by 25% for each of section attendance, midterm 1, 2, and the final. All of these are essays so there's no stress when it comes to taking a test, and you don't need to know anywhere close to 100% of the material he goes over in the lectures. Often boring and overly information heavy, but he's nice and knowledgable

HIST46 . 3 Months Ago

This class is just really boring, frankly. He reads off powerpoint slides and some lectures feel like Wikipedia summaries. He's a surprisingly tough grader too, I had my grade dragged down by an endless number of meaningless nitpicks on essays. But even past that, I just don't feel I learned much with him.

HIST46 . 1 Year, 9 Months Ago

Very interesting class overall. Textbook and lectures line up pretty well, lectures are interesting but not necessary. 2 papers and take home final, all very easy. Class content was taught well and easy to understand if you payed attention.
