CollegeA 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
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.
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.
A lot of reading and work but he's a really nice professor!! Very good at teaching.
overall great professor! so considerate and it is easy to do well if you are engaged and participate
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
