CollegeA very nice man but assigns essentially a homework assignment or quiz or essay due by the next lecture. We are only in week 8 and I have done at least 15 assignments, a quiz, and an essay (800+ word minimum not bad). Overall he is not the worst but can definitely be better.
I took 2 classes with Campo, 140C and 140D. He was good at conveying the information. The reading is the most tedious part
Easy grader. I barely went to class and studied an hour the night before an exam and got decent scores. Lectures are kinda boring but when guests come they are SO interesting. One time they made food one time it was a music ensemble. IF YOURE LOOKING FOR GE CREDIT take this class
I took this class as a GE and I actually learned. Very interesting class and barely any homework. Study a decent amount for the quizzes, midterm, and test and you will easily pass the class.
Not sure why others are complaining about MES45, not the most interesting lectures but easy GE. Lots of assigned reading, I only read the stuff that looked interesting, got a free A. Skipped a lot of lecture, but section was mandatory. Brought his wife and they cooked Middle Eastern dishes for a lecture which was cool, and tasty. Rating 5 to bump.
Made lecture somewhat interesting, easy course, great personality. Barely looked over readings and got a good grade regardless. Would highly recommend.
