Comment:

Would not recommend this class at all, he does NOT give full credit for what you are asked. I have been a straight A student all throughout my life and got a C in this class. He is very unclear about his assignments. One time I identified 6 key terms instead of 5, I DID EXTRA CREDIT! and he marked me down to a 4/5 for that. YOU WILL BE FRUSTRATED

Comment:

While I appreciated some aspects of the class (no tests, his caring demeanor), the lectures were sub par. He told us that the lectures often consisted of notes he had written in history classes he took back in college, and that showed. They are unclear and frustrating to follow. I enjoy history normally, but I did not enjoy this class.

Comment:

I did not like this class at all. It made me very angry all semester. He is not very clear on explaining to you what your grade is in the class and is not a good communicator. When I asked him for office hours, to discuss my grade, he never gave them to me. He is a very tough grader as well. Ive never taken an online class as bad as this one.

I have this professor before, he does give good lectures, yes he is hard but hi topics are great. He does give good feedback and will let you know how your doing in class. I love his novel choice. He is very understanding if you just let him know whats up.

Comment:

This class seems easy on the outside, but deep down it's tough. There is a paper due each week along with the reading. Don't like papers? Don't take the class, he gives good feedback to help you succeed and answers emails quickly. I would take his class again, as long as I don't have an english class along with it.

Comment:

This was my first online class and it really set the standard for me going forward. Mr. Arevalos was a fair grader and provided more than enough chance to students to receive an "A" for this course. Do the reading; do the postings; you will do great. He is a good teacher and encourages you to think for yourself, applying what you are learning.

This was a great class! He is super fair with grading and gives you plenty of opportunities to do well. There are a lot of extra credit opportunities as well. Since it was online, it was a heavy reading class but honestly it wasn't bad at all. It's fairly easy if you just do your homework! Great lectures and feedback!

Comment:

The class is well organized, easy to look and work ahead on assignments. The class does require lots of reading and writing, and I believe this class is only for the dedicated college student, who takes pride in hard work and who has a passion for learning. Five for easiness as Arevalos offers a full letter grade in extra credit points.

Comment:

This was his online course; relatively easy, so long as you did the reading. He has his students read multiple books throughout the class and if you apply yourself in the homework (long papers) you can skip the final and still maintain an 'A' in the course.

Comment:

Professor Arevalos assigns long papers which are heavy on the textbook, his lectures (while interesting, they're not his (borrowed from his old professors or other Historians), as well as a weekly website collaboration. He offers extra credit if you (HINT: Read his announcements) and you're able to work ahead, making it easier to stay ahead.

I took the online History 110. Received an A. There is a lot of reading and writing as well as a book review. It's not hard , just a lot of work. Well explained assignments and tons of extra credit. I didn't meet him but the love of his subject matter came through even in the online class. Just do what's asked and you will do great.

Comment:

I had Mr Arevalos in '93 after getting out of the Marines so whenever the military was mentioned in a lesson Mr Erickson was sure to be addressed to me for input. Unless his format has changed readings were a written test and orals were a verbal test. Great teacher had him for 100 and 101 Surprised he has retired to Colorado yet.

Comment:

This teacher is ridiculous. No matter what you turn in, he constantly criticizes your work as if you are writing your thesis on it. His directions for his assignments are brief, yet he takes points from you for things he didn't previously specify he wanted. This teacher has no idea what they are doing. His classes are a total waste of time.

Teacher is not graduate material. Cannot comprehend his job as a History 101 teacher. Very confusing on what is required from his class. Would highly NOT recommend this teacher.

his class is easy and says he is there to offer help whenever needed, but not once did he respond to my questions. He often thinks an intro class is a graduate level and expects excellence in many assignments that are complete bs. He is easy, but also unclear as to what he expects from students week to week.

Professor Arturo is a passionate teacher of history and writing. He def has a little attitude, don't we all? He wants to see his students learn. My interest was sparked in history from his course, I also learned how to write essays MUCH better. Take his class if your a mature responsible student. You will learn from this man. thnx Arturo!
