Prof. Dutra is very , very old school. Just him talking and maybe a projector which he writes important dates, words, and people on. Very nice lecturer who is always willing to help in office hours (his office should be seen to be believed!) Don't buy all the books, instead get the Mid Term/Final ques. then buy the books needed for the 2 questions.

Very easy Professor, he gives you the final and midterm questions on the first day of class and tells you the page numbers to read to find the answers. It's all memorization and spitting it back out on the midterm/final. If you end up getting less than a A-/B+ in this class you don't deserve to be in college, simple as that.

Really nice professor... but the class is everything but clear with him!

You get the midterm and final questions ahead of time, so go to OH and plan your answers with your TA. Essay prompts were pretty straight-forward. Very easy class for GE.

This was the worst class i've taken yet! Lecture was so boring. I went the first half of the quarter and always walked away with a list of names and no info. Two confusing paper prompts that TA's could barely explain. Were given the essay questions for midterms and finals in advance

If you take History 2B, the whole grade is just 2 essays, a midterm and final, and section attendance. The final and midterm are essay questions, but he gives you the questions on the first day of class, so all you really need to do is read the chapter on the question, then BS to get an A.

This class is really not that hard. You get all the questions for the midterms and final on the syllabus and they are directly underneath the reading you need for that week. Read the textbook, don't bother with lectures much. Outline the essays before the exam and communicate with your TA on if you got everything they'll look for. You'll be fine.

Simple and easy class, he gives you the midterm and final questions and covers each topic in class. Lecture attendance is not required because you can just read out of the book anyway. Grading is dependent on the TA. A somewhat boring professor who rambles a lot in lecture and is very unfamiliar with the "new technology" such as PowerPoint.

Overall I can't say I was a huge fan of the course. Probably because he was the only course I got a B in and I don't really understand why. He gives you the exam qs ahead of time but I guess he is looking for a few mandatory things that I didn't pick up on despite going to almost every lecture and doing the readings specific to the qs I chose.

He really rambles a lot. We didn't read one single primary document which was really strange. But, his tests are easier than third grade multiplication tests.

Solid Class. Lectures can be a little tedious since he does not utilize powerpoint. He also gets sidetracked easily. However, he is very funny and likeable. Tests are extremely fair - he puts them on the syllabus so you know them from day 1. Easy to talk to and has a sense of duty to teach his students. Attendance is required. Highly recommend
