Comment:

Go to class, pay attention and you'll get an A. I am now 75% of the way through the semester and just now rented the book for the class; yet I have gotten A+s on every single test and quiz thus far. He's very knowledgeable and lectures are easy enough. But when he occasionally does online lectures, they are an unorganized disaster.

Comment:

The class was History of American Religion a distribution class for me. He said we needed the book then said he didn't like the book. The end of the class we did a group presentation and he said everyone did fine on it so we would pass but for some reason I got an F. I emailed him he said he'd change it but didn't so now I can't graduate.

Comment:

I had him for a 2.5 hour class once a week. every time you do somthing he acts like it will be the biggest grade and will decide if you pass. Every professor is required to have office hours but he thinks he is above this. If yo need to talk to him during hours odds are he will tell you to come back at a specific time and odds are he won't be there

This professor had no idea how to teach a class online. Lectures were scattered, videos were redundant, the grading scale was undefined and arbitrary. It's a shame because this class would have been interesting if it was taught better.

Comment:

I took him for 20th century world; It was once a week, 2 and 12 hours so that could have contributed to why his lectures felt so long. He is a nice guy but puts his opinion in his lectures and you had to pretty much teach yourself out of the book for the tests. I got a B but I hated the class. He does give extra credit but its not easy.

Comment:

Sababu is a great people person. He gets his class involved and is very entertaining, making a 2.5 hour class not too bad. 70% of the grade is the research paper, which isnt too bad (10 pages). he works with you every week on it and explains in detail what he wants in the paper. Research, write (proper tarabian) and receive your A.

He has you read the book and he lectures and says stuff is on the test but when you go to take the test none of it is. Im still not sure where the tests are coming from I studied for hours on his first exam and bombed it. it was 45 multi choice and then he did like 25 vocab words then comprehensive questions bout 25 then bonus the tests were long

Comment:

He definitely "challenges" a lot of ideas from the book. Tests are so long, sometimes need to stay after class to complete. Willing to help. A ton of extra credit, hard not to get an A. He is all over the place in lectures and assigns long videos but reading the book keeps you on track and able to pass the tests.

Comment:

Absolutely terrible professor. Does not educate you. Assigns over 4 hours of videos each week, on top of multiple chapters for each test, and then other assignments that he does not thoroughly explain what you are doing. You're paying him to send you links to videos to educate yourself, because he cannot do it himself in his allocated time.

Comment:

This is a hard class!! His notes are all over the place and expects way to much outside time of class focusing on material. He updates D2L constantly and if you don't check it every couple hours you could miss out on points!! His test are all over the place just like his teaching style. overall a very confusing class. do not waste your time!!!

Comment:

Awful prof! I'm in an online class with him right now and it's terrible! He jumps around, sometimes his lectures contradict what the book says so you don't know what to follow, and he expects WAY TOO MUCH! He's not condensing the 15 week class at all. He actually expects a full 15 weeks of work in 5! WOuld never take him again!

Comment:

He is the self-proclaimed "best public speaker on campus" I did not like him at all. He is so scatter-brained my notes were a mess and never made sense because he would just from topic to topic and all around. He had no real type of plan, everything was random. Just go to class her gives random bonus points and a lot for attendance!!!

He is entertaining and energetic. If one pays attention, takes notes, and reads the assigned homework, he or she will have no issues passing his class. Participation never hurts.

Comment:

He knows what he is talking about but talks way to fast. Gives a lot of bonus to people to talk in class and know a lot about the subject. If you dont know whats going on you will suffer. He expects you to read a chapter a week in the book and he tests A LOT! Overall I would never take his class again. But he does dress awesome!

Comment:

He's really energetic which I like. A trick: he LOVES participation. I got TONS of bonus points for speaking in class. And history isn't an easy subject for me. Take good notes and make index cards for the exams and you'll be fine - a study group is a good idea since he talks so fast and not everyone is gonna have every point written down.

This guy talks fast and is hard to get into contact with. He will help if you stop him after class. He ives a lot of tests, which actually help your grade because of many opportunities to score higher than before. Overall, not bad.

Comment:

Horrible professor. Helpful? Not even a little. I emailed him multiple times to ask him for help with things and he rarely replied. His notes and teaching style are hard to follow and although he is very intelligent, he doesn't make it easy for you to learn. Do not take a class with him, you will regret it.
