Comment:

This proffesor had very interesting classes. He gets to the point. Lots of information to remember, but he does reviews which will tell you what will be on the exams and what will not. You will also get extra credit if you attend. Grades really fast and well. Can be funny, will call you out if you are being rude. I liked him a lot.

Professor Walia is amazing. He is really passionate about what he teaches and his lectures keeps students engaged. A lot of note taking but he is clear on what is important because he writes them on the board.

Prof Walia is very funny and entertaining. Don't skip class!! He doesn't use power points so you have to write your own notes as he speaks. If you want to do well on the exams (essay exams) you must attend his review sessions! They're super helpful!

Comment:

Professor Walia is the best History teacher I ever had for college. He doesn't use PowerPoints, everything you need to know comes from his own words. He writes his lectures on the board and makes the class simple for us. He is very funny and friendly. If he teases you it only means he likes you. He also gives extra credit for his 3 exams & 1 final.

He is absolutely one the of the best professors I have had. Everything on his exams are from his lectures. He is very clear. Make sure you take notes and go to class everyday. His review sessions before exams are extremely helpful.

Walia made a 7am actually enjoyable. Show up to class because attendance is taken! Lectures are entertaining, but is all done verbally/ on the white board. So if you miss class make sure to get notes from someone. Show up to the review sessions for the tests bc they are extra credit and he gives you the info you need for the test. Also STUDY!!!

Professor Walia is one of the funniest professors at Cal State Fullerton. You will not regret taking this class. I am really bad at history, but I learned so much with him. You can tell he is very passionate about teaching. You only have 3 tests in this course. If you are good at memorizing & not taking then this is an easy A for you.

My favorite history teacher EVER! Mark Walia made my least favorite subject likable. He is absolutely hilarious and actually cares about your grade unlike most professors. I wish I could take him again.

Comment:

He is extremely lecture heavy and you will NOT pass his class without going to class every day. He writes phrases on the board and you have to take notes and listen at the same time really quickly because he talks fast. I also find that he make inappropriate jokes sometimes; he has joked about suicide which I found unprofessional and inconsiderate.

Professor Walia is an exceptional lecturer. He makes his lectures so modern and fun you will really enjoy his class. He live grades, so you know your score following the test. He also gives a study guide with the general topics of the exam. However take note of everything he says, I recommend typing them because he talks fast. One of the best.

BEST PROFESSOR. As long as you go to every class and take good notes you will pass. Study everything he writes. Tests are fairly easy if you study, have to be good at memorization. He is so funny and makes subject interesting.

Very enthusiastic and funny! Did poorly on the first exam but improved a lot after understanding what was expected and decided to take him for 110B too. A lot of cramming involved so attend the review sessions to minimize what you need to know for the exams.

Make sure you attend class and take good notes! I took him for 110 A and 110 B. Always go to his study sessions because he'll tell you what to study for the exam and it's extra credit. Get to his study sessions like 30 min early because it can get so packed where students sit on the floor inside and outside the classroom with the door open.

Comment:

Professor Walia is a solid choice. He makes his lectures interesting and engaging. With that being said, it is VERY lecture heavy. I don't recommend taking this class if you aren't willing to actually show up, because if you don't, it will reflect on your grade. As for the exams, they are purely based on knowledge, be ready to memorize and write.

Great professor! I never did well in history or was interested in it but Professor Walia made the lectures very interesting and likable! no text book is needed but you should attend class everyday because the information he discusses and writes on the board is very important and will help out for the test. Very helpful to go to his review sessions!

Professor Walia is a very funny person. However, you need to copy whatever he wrote AND SAID to study for the exams. You don't need textbook, just study your notes. If you miss one class, it's like missing 5 IDs that will show up on the exam; which is 6 short answers and 1 essay. He gives study guide that is basically the test so very nice!

He does not use powerpoints or any type of technology. So, you don't know your grade until the last day of the semester. NO homework, just an exam, midterm and final. His exams are based on vocab and an essay. His lectures are a bit fast, you have to take great notes, and review them! He does attendance every day, DONT MISS CLASS,you need the notes

Comment:

Make sure you attend class because everything that will be on the test is during his lecture. Make sure you study for his tests and go to his study sessions! He basically gives you the answers during his study sessions. He's very funny and although I took his 7 am class, he kept me awake because of how interested I was during his lecture.
