Professor Santos lectures a lot.I recommend taking MWF because TTR classes give way to much information at once. Make sure you pay attention and be ready to write a paper just about every week.

All he does is lecture. If you may fall asleep, just don't come. No tests which is a plus, but essays almost every week.

Comment:

Dr. Santos may be boring during lectures, but if you listen beyond the rambling then you will actually learn. His real life perspectives help you relate to the course material on a deeper level. I would definatly take a MWF class becasuse you can only take so much of his lectures at one time.

Comment:

Santos is very personal. If you want a good grade then go and talk to him. He is a teach who hates tests. The papers are not about logic or facts but more about personal critical thinking. All you need to do to pass is use your mind. He challenges you to read the material and actually internalize it. Great teacher. Just open up to him.

Great class and great teacher! Very passionate about history, teaching, and helping students. His classes are not easy but he makes each student think for themselves instead of regurgitate information.

Comment:

His seminary class has killed by GPA and cost me a graduate fellowship. His grading practices were unfair, and he was not available half the time. The final paper was only 15% of the grade. He is the laziest professor I have ever had, and he doesn't give damn.

Comment:

He is the laziest professor I have ever met. I am so glad that this class is almost over. He is never in is his office, and he is always too busy to be bothered after class. He was a loser from the first day, but his class was the only one that fit my schedule. He makes a big salary, but he does not earn it.

Comment:

Arrogant, misinformed, stuffed shirt of an arse. His grading is as questionable as his teaching methods. Well researched papers recieve D's, while fictional stories with very little basis in historical fact (and nothing to do with the subject matter) receive A's.
