hello! closed-notes. usually, its an essay question that u need to answer based on the lectures + readings!!

neutral

just read the readings and listen sa lectures, the midterms is pretty A-able as long as u write what sir is looking for. also he lowkey spilled what the midterm question will be for us. When he explained the midterm he mentioned a sample question which was the exact midterm question.more

took him for histo 11 just this sem and i enjoyed his class. very nice, organized, returns outputs faster than 99% of profs, and his answers to questions were more than satisfactory! pro-tip is to NEVER EVER CUT if u want an A.more

He is amazing! Very A-able, however, there a is a new reading every session. Make sure to be ready but he is still the goat!

he's a great researcher and a great writer but when it comes to teaching, he's very boring and kind of hard to understand sometimes 😭 just read the readings and you'll be okaymore

he is NOT a-able. if you care about your grades.. lol. there’s nothing to dislike about him as a prof, he’s super kind actually. but his standards are unreasonably high. to get a perfect 10 on his short discussion questions and quizzes is as rare as the blue moon.more

positiveHISTO 12

had him for histo 12 this sem and he isn’t actually as bad as other comments make him out to be just read in advance and understand at least the main ideas and arguments of each reading ^^ whether it’s for (1) in-class groupworks every session, (2) around 2-3 unannounced quizzes, and (3) the essay long test. final assessment is a group presentation on a chosen primary source which he’ll let you choose as for his teaching style (which is consistent every onsite class): first half lecture followed by a graded groupwork on the assigned reading for the day. if may oras pa he’ll proceed to discuss a few stuff until the bell rings for his assessments: he’s not technical w specific authors/details!! just understand the main ideas/messages each reading conveys :)) ++ he returns all assessments fairly early so u’ll be able to monitor ur progress. though I’m not exactly sure if he’s responsive as I haven’t had the chance to raise concerns sa kanya lastly, sir doesn’t curve but methinks A-able siya fs with extreme extreme effort!!more
