Comment:

Absolutely the worst course experience I have ever had. The class was entirely automated and the professor could not even manage to bother calculating grades at the end. I am not sure what the requirements are to teach at the University of Cincinnati Clermont campus, but I suggest spending an extra $20 and going to UC Blue Ash.

Took this as a summer semester online class. Every week was 2 chapters of reading, study guide posted on Thursday and a quiz on Saturday. If you read the chapters and use some online resources for the study guide he provides you will do fine. The study guide directly reflects the quiz each week.

I took this class online. Easiest class I have ever taken. You write 7 papers and take 7 tests. No discussion boards or big final project. He is a slow grader and does not believe in 100% on papers. Does not give feedback so you don't know how to correct papers. Never spoke to the teacher or students once. You work on your own schedule. EASY A+

This class isn't too bad. Tests are online, and everything else is just group work assignments that are homework. I would DEFINITELY take this professor again.

Comment:

This professor was the most unorganized, unprofessional professor I have ever had. He would make the syllabus according to the schedule and then he would not be able to attend class (yet your attendance was mandatory). His study guides were in order but he would randomly skip or repeat questions, and also asks the questions unclearly.

I think professor Habtu Ghebre-Ab is a great teacher. He expects his student to gain knowledge like adults. He doesn't do any hand holding and that's what I particularly like. He's very knowledgeable and very devoted to his passions. I give him a 5 out of 5 as a professor (:

This guy is by is the worst instructor I have had in 6 years of college. Do Not Take This Class Online. I repeat, Do Not Take This Class Online. This guy doesn't teach anything. He gave us these poor Powerpoints that didn't cover all the material needed for midterm and final essay questions. Do yourself a favor, and choose a different Prof.

Online course. Professor took weeks to respond to emails, did not answer questions or give clear feedback. Syllabus was wrong, information he uploaded was inaccurate. No clear grading system and can't really use technology. WORST online course and professor I've ever taken. Would NOT recommend.

He sets up a schedule for the entire semester. I took him on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so every tuesday we would have a lecture and every thursday would be mandatory group work. The lectures are so terrifyingly boring and ridiculously strung out that no one showed up on tuesdays. Every single test question is on Quizlet. You're welcome.

Comment:

This man is a joke of a teacher. He thinks its okay to treat students in a rude manner. You cannot understand his accent, but he doesnt care. If you ask a question, he'll make you feel dumb. Having this man as a professor is like having Michael Scott as a boss, as in you'd get so much more done without him... and he has a terrible sense of humor.

Fantastic class! Guidelines- he's strict, communicate with him during lectures. His lectures are insightful and his passion for history keeps your interest. Great class structure, consistent. Loved the class!

Comment:

He is decent at teaching. He knows a lot of information and is passionate about the subject. Sometimes he seems to try to be funny, but he's a bit odd... It was mildly annoying at times. Also, he is very particular. VERY particular. Don't screw up a bit or it will cost you your grade! I'd prefer not to take anymore classes by him again.

Comment:

He's an okay person. But I had all A's before his class. He is very anal about things and wants everything his way. He barely teaches. You basically have to teach yourself. He doesn't even use power points and picks on the students.. Not a teacher I would recommend. I wish I would of just taken online American History..

Pretty great professor overall, but you'll only pass his class if you do things his way (which are relatively easy). Just make sure to read the chapter so you know where to go during the tests which are open book. He's very funny, but isn't afraid to pick on people so don't take it offensively- he means no harm.

I loved taking his class. He does have a very different sense of humor, so I can see why some may not have liked his class. His class wasn't too difficult. He told us exactly what to study and the tests were open book. No mid term or final. Just 1 test every 2 chapters

Had absolutely no textbook and no readings. His lectures were completely and utterly pointless; he clarified nothing. He gave us absolutely no help for our test and there was no textbook assigned for African history for us to study with. He's nice personally but as a professor steer clear.

Comment:

Brilliant man! I didn't find his class to be very difficult at all, so long as you do the reading and study; he does not assign long papers or anything. For some reason alot of my class mates seemed overwhelmed, however, I think alot of them just couldn't stand the idea of actually having to read a chapter out of their text books every week.
