He is amazing! He is heavy on lectures but they're not boring at all! He's super funny and you can tell he cares about all his students. I genuinely learned stuff in this class. He is a super chill dude and this class is easy if you show up and take notes.

He breaks down events in a way that an ant can understand. I've learned so much in his class, and I fell more informed on why certain events are taking place today. He is hilarious and I recommend him 100%

Professor Sigmon taught my Metro Program class this semester at SFSU. He's a cool professor that stays up to date on the news and informing the class about it. His essays on the small books are very specific and he gives good feedbacks. He also help with your small writing mistakes sometimes to clarify what's wrong. Participation does matter.

Mark Sigmon is a living legend. This class is so interesting and straightforward. He writes a list of terms on the board each day and that's all the exams are based off of so just attend class and take notes and there is no way you can't get an A.

Made my first semester of college really easy. Just make sure to show up to class and take good notes. Also read your "after the fact" book. Never read the textbook but I got everything I needed from the notes. Also study for the exams, there's two parts and one of them is an essay portion. He will usually tell you what to expect on the exam.

Best history class I've ever had. I always used to fall asleep in history but he makes it so interesting. No homework. Never got the textbook and I got an A in the class. If you go to class every day and take good notes you won't need textbook, but good to have to clarify. No attendance but everyone goes anyways. 2 midterms and a final. Study!

No homework at all, and he doesn't write anything down. He pretty much tells you what is important and what you need to know for the tests, so as long as you show up every once and a while or even just for the review, you should be able to get an A on all his tests. Super easy class, definitely recommend this guy. Made history a lot less boring.

For sure my favorite professor that I have had at SF State, I highly recommend him. His class is interesting, his lecture is very clear and he is also clear about his exams. Take it seriously, if your not going to go to class you should just pick a different class because just listening to lecture tells you what you need to know for tests.

Best history class I ever took, really funny and his lectures are very clear. He ties his lectures to the reading you have to do before going to class. Lots of reading but it honestly does help you when he's giving a lecture and because everything he talks about are on his test! Really easy chill history class. Would take again

HILARIOUS. I personally really enjoy History and taking this class made me love it more. His lectures are very informative, and he's really open to answering any question you may have after or even during his lectures. Tests are very straight forward, if you show up then and take decent notes you should pass! Really awesome teacher.

Comment:

One of the best professors at SF State in my opinion. He does lectures every day but they are very interesting and easy to pay attention to. The tests consist of multiple choice/short answer and an essay. Very very very easy if you take good lecture notes. Just listen and write everything down and you'll enjoy the class a lot.

Comment:

He's very passionate about History and I would definitely take this class again. He gives tests in 2 parts: multiple choice/short answers and an essay portion. He lectures and you just take notes so if you miss a day then you don't know what he talked about that day. The ONLY textbook needed is the After the Fact book he puts together.

He gives all his lectures just by talking, no visuals and no posting on iLearn. BUT, his lectures are so fun and interesting, you'll feel like you're listening to a story. You have to go to class to get all the information, and you need to be a good note taker. His tests are relatively easy if you study and pay attention in class. I LOVED this clas

Comment:

He teaches History how History should be taught, like a story. There's a lot of note taking in the class because he talks the entire time w/o using slideshows or anything(which is better because you can concentrate on what he is saying). I would take his class a billion times if I could.
