Comment:

Probably the best history professor Ive had! His lectures are very in-depth, he clearly knows history and what hes talking about. Made the class very interesting and easy to grasp the information. Tests are directly correlated to the lectures and textbooks, so showing up to class and studying will do you well.

One of the most inspiring professors I have had! I decided to take his 108 history class during intersession and I passed with an A. I was kind of stressed because it was a 4 week course and we had to intake all this information but he was so clear on what you had to accomplish for his class! His study guide and lectures really help! Awesome Prof!

Comment:

His lectures are very interesting, and he is very easy to comprehend regardless of the accent. He lectures mostly, but also involves the occasional movie. He is well equipped to answer any questions, and involves the class to participate in his lectures through response. He has 4 easy tests all semester. You'd have to try to fail his class.

Really a very kind man. Gives extra credit for showing up to every class. Tests are heavily based off of lectures and study guides. Not a difficult class if you listen, but he is pretty passionate about history which makes lectures interesting. Highly reccomended.

This was the best online class I have ever taken. Gave good feedback on almost every homework assignment or quiz, used videos to emphasize points, and gave clear study guides. Online classes are generally difficult, but this professor made it easier by being interactive and very helpful. Lots of reading, 3 tests, 1 final, and multiple quizzes.

Absolutely the best Prof. in my entire college history. Mr. T is amazing and passionate about this subject. Sets up the class so you can do the work and get an A. The book not necessary. Handouts provide a lot of info. Just take good notes and come to class and you shouldn't miss anything. American History isn't complete w/out taking this course.

He's a really good professor, he's really passionate about the subject so that makes the class really interesting. The class is easy if you do your readings and do the study guide and the papers that are only 2 pages,there is no homework only a printout that you take to class every week and thats it. I really recommend this teacher and this class.

Professor Tesfamariam is the best teacher I have had so far on this two years that I have been at Cuyamaca College,he's really passionate about the subject and that is what makes it really interesting, he provides a study guide for each test and the papers are only complete or incomplete, no homework only to read your chapter and an easy printout.

He's a really nice man, and a very easy teacher. The class was actually interesting, and I feel that I learned a lot. If you answer all the questions to the study guide then you will for sure get an A on every test. Also, he gives you extra points on the test for showing up to class.

Comment:

Class was very interesting and so were lectures. Prof was knowledgeable and taught well but the subject was interesting so that helped too. If you take notes and read you will pass with an A!warning: He will not put up with goofing off and will stop class to deal with people leaving early or coming in late which kinda caused a bigger distraction.

Comment:

I've had this instructor for both Hist 180 and 181. He is great! I've learned more in his classes than most of my others, with little reading. His lectures are very informative, and are primarily what the test are from. But make sure to go to each class, be on time, and stay until he lets you go!
