HIST8A . 3 Months Ago

A lot of reading and lectures move quickly. It can be hard to grasp everything shared in lecture bc a lot is covered in the class. only 2 papers, midterm and final. Theres 1 quiz and 1 discussion every week but those are pretty simple. theres multiple attempts on quizzes. He is really nice and willing to help. very passionate about his work

HIST8A . 3 Months Ago

You have to write 3 essays that were kinda easy. Lots of reading but I didn't read almost anything and I think I'll get an A. I guess its good for a gen ed but it was so painfully boring, each lecture all I did was play wordle. Cobo was cool but his accent was hard to understand (british). If you like history you'll probably like this class.

HIST8A . 3 Months Ago

The grade is mainly based on weekly quizzes you can retake and 3 essays; one of them being the final exam essay and two of them being collaborative essays. He's very passionate and always willing to help.

HIST2B . 4 Years Ago

Very considerate and respected prof. Responds well to emails and gives good feedback. Took Hist 2B as a GE, but as a stem major, the readings were ridiculously difficult to understand. Participation in class is required but live lectures with the TA weren't structured so people kept getting talked over/interrupted
