Professor Abraham is of the best professors I've ever had, he's a veryyy easy grader, no home works, a midterm, paper, and a final. His classes are very interesting and he could help you with anything you want and even extend time for you when it comes to handing in the paper. HE IS THE BEST!

Comment:

Professor Abraham is a really interesting professor. I enjoy most of his lectures, but just a few were boring. He is an easy grader: one midterm, one final, ten multiple choice questions, and a book report (which is not graded). My advice would be to memorize the essay before the midterm and final. He would give you the questions for the essays.

Professor Abraham is horrible! Do not take this class if you care about your grade/education. Hence, you would not learn anything from this class so please save yourself the money. He also fails to engage with his students and won't ever answer your emails or questions. This guy is just LAZY! And Does not provide you with useful materials.

Easy class except when it comes to test time. Tells you very BRIEFLY the essay question on the midterm and final (only tests) but never exactly. I was on twitter or sleeping every class got an A because wrote and memorized the essay before the test.

Comment:

He is one of the best professor in John Jay. He truly makes the class very interested in HIstory. Midterm and Final which are Essays and a multiple choice test anywhere in book and a Book report thats not graded. The lowest you will get is a B if you try you will get a A your choice. It was very enjoyable over the summer.

He lectures the whole class. Your gonna try to keep up in the beginning but at the end of the semester you give up. Final midterm and book report which is noo work but makes your grade harder. Take him if you just want to pass by sitting on FB and twitter all day your guaranteed a B the lowest .I never bought the textbook

Comment:

He takes attendance every class but you can easily say you were present, just came in late the next time you come to class because he asks you and as long as he doesn't know you well (ex. you actively talk in class), you can easily pull it off. He is extremely easy; you only get a midterm and a final which is in essay format.

He would non stop talk during class which does not give you much time to talk. But the good part is not much work at all. Midterm and final thats it. But you gotta do some hardcore studying for them.

His class was a waste of time. I did not learn anything. All the students in his class are either on fb or their phone texting. He doesn't give a sh*t. His tests are not hard, but it is all on your own.

Comment:

Prof Abraham is a not a good prof whatsoever. The textbooks he chooses are dull and he lectures during the entire class without engaging the students in any way. At times, he can become repetitive which makes the class even more tedious. He assigns only a midterm and a final and he grades unfairly. He often leaves the classroom to enagage in personal phonecalls which is not professional.

Comment:

Good professor. Many students love him because he is funny and gives As to many without a lot of effort. I personally find him a little boring. No discussions in class, no papers. Just a midterm and a final (he gives questions in advance). Does not follow the book and improvises a lot. an easy A.

Comment:

Eh. I was actually surprised I got a B to be honest he's not the most enthusiastic professor in the world. He mostly lectures, I barely used the book but if you're looking for an A you should read it. He seems like a nice guy, he knows what he's doing, wrote a book, has a PhD. Just come to class, take notes, listen, understand you should be fine.

This prof is really boring. He talks too fast and he doesnt stop. He is a hard grader but he does give the midterm and final question in advance. Beware of this prof.He might have good rating but trust me, you will be shooting yourself in the foot!
