Is not open to class participation. Pure timed lecture. he speaks and that's it! He claims to be "teaching Mexicans their own History", he's Italian. ****, and closed minded.

more arrogant than educated, if you have a little accent, he will blame all the problems you have for the class on it, not recommended

Comment:

most ppl either dislike him or like him & i don't like his teaching style. my tip,he talks the whole session. no discussion, hw, or quizzes, just 4 exams. u don't get the relevant points bc he doesn't write foreign sounding names/concepts down or give outlines to prepare for the freestyle, unlimited scoped, purposeless tests he give,too stressful!

Comment:

If you can't show up or take notes, do not take a class with him. If you are capable of taking notes and coming to class, its an easy A. Anyone who says otherwise is very lazy, plain and simple. He gives you the test a week before you have to take it. If you can't write an essay with points he gives you don;t take him. Easy A if you can write

Comment:

he bs a lot. many of the stuff he says during lecture is contradictory to things i've learned from other teachers/professors I've had who are experienced, well-educated & well-traveled. i am suspicious of what he says bc there are no facts to back them. he does not use a text either & this makes his super long essay exams difficult.

Comment:

No textbook-lectures instead. Exams are 2-3 in class essays per exam. Gives hints for the exam. Notes are important-they are the exam. Knows his information and keeps your interest. Very approachable and helpful. If you take good notes/ voice recordings and study (not cram) you will earn your A.

Comment:

This class isn't for those who are bad at taking notes, trust me your notes will be your best friend, learn them like the back of your hand, be able to recall them and write them cause that will be your final. As long as you can do that, its an easy A. I still remember a lot of what he taught.

Took his summer course on American History and it was absolutly great! I hate history and I still remember everything he taught me. He made study guides and posted them on the internet for us. Great teacher-really knows his stuff - excited bout teaching!
