COBO BETANCOU
lectures = most painfull densly packed hours of your life. So much information that's all over the place & extreamly overwhelming. 4-5 readings (textbook / other), 2 forum responses, one Canvas quiz per week. Lecture and sections are mandatory. three in class essays as tests - easy. This class is alot of work but isnt difficult in terms of grades.
He was a good professor and this class is fascinating. However, it is hard. Like there is a tonnnn of content and lots of papers and writing.
He was a very nice and understanding professor. He would speak quickly in lectures but he always made an attempt to slow down when asked. The content was manageable and was broken down easily.
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
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.
