Genuinely loved this class so much! His lecture style is interesting and engaging. Grading was pretty tough and you need to put in the time to study, but go to lecture and office hours! You will get a lot out of showing up! Would totally take another class with him.

Yaqub is a top 3 history professor and he's not 2 or 3. The class was interesting and had a light workload. Highly recommend.

First off, Professor Yaqub is a good teacher. His lectures are good, besides them being blatantly left learning. The major problem is that he grades so tough with almost no feedback. The class is graded on two writing assignments, and two tests, both of which are written. Most people get ridiculously low grades on these. tons of reading too.

ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS on this campus. His lectures are very engaging and storytelling. Does a really good job of boiling down complicated history topics. reading heavy but no homework.

One of the best classes I've ever taken. Super in-depth history, surprisingly engaging and interesting. Definitely need to put in thoughtful effort into the required section participation. Not easy, but incredibly rewarding if you put in the effort and pay attention, which isn't hard because he's a great lecturer.

Prof. Yaqub is very knowledgeable and has good information-packed lectures but can be hard to follow since the slides have minimal text. Clear essay prompts, pretty easy if u go to lecture. Learned a lot would take this professor again!
