An ok professor but he kept injecting anarchist philosophy into his lectures. Like we don't get enough of that already.

UCSB stated that spring22 would have no online courses, but apparently that did not apply to this prof so be weary of recorded lectures. The class was not too hard if that is what you are worried about. It's pretty unclear what he expects of his students--no one had a clue during our few live lectures. You are left to connect the dots yourself.

Kokinis has a very lecture heavy class, lots of note taking during class. The whole assignment the for the class was a big paper that you work on throughout the quarter, and he had a good way of explaining big topics. Participation in lecture once a week and in section was required.

Would have loved to actually learn some history rather than having woke ideologies shoved down my throat.

I really enjoyes the class and learning all the info, but didn't get too many opportunities to actually talk to Dr. Kokinis. Feedback on writing assignments was very vague, really wished Chloe would have given us more than just a check or check minus. Make sure to read the material, really helps for the final paper. Go to office hours.

Your grade is based off of 1 paper basically. 20% comes from section participation, 20% comes from an essay outline, 20% comes from writing 3 pages, and 40% comes from submitting the paper. Overall interesting class but can be difficult to do well if you do really poorly on 1 assignment
