Professor Mann is one of the best all around professors and I learned so much. Yes there are take home tests but that didn't stop me from learning something every week. This Mann definitely needs a raise for his remarkable teaching and wonderful attitude towards students. Best teacher I've had so far and I don't think anyone can top him. #1

I took a class before with Prof. Mann. Really used to hate class but his is great. He does give take home exams which gives you more time to do the work well. He does lecture and uses documentaries as well. A cool combo that helps me retain course info. I had a class last year that was great too and took another this year.

Dr. Mann is a great history professor. Show up to class, watch a history movie (documentary) and leave. Basically no homework except for the take-home test(s). Super nice guy. Highly Recommend for a history teacher.

I enjoyed Professor Mann this semester. He's a great guy as long as you stay on his good side (dont show up late!!!!). Classes are pretty easy- but slightly boring because all we did was watch movies, and I'm someone who likes a little bit of a lecture. Exams were all take home and very simple!

Take the class if you want an easy A. He gives short map assignments. There are few writing assignments that are only 1 page. Tests are take home. All information can be found in the textbook. You watch documentaries based on textbook material everyday in class. There is no excuse to get anything lower than an A! Dr. Maan is a great prof!

Show up, watch a history movie and that's class (sometimes will pause the movie to speak for a minute). ALL TEST ARE TAKE HOME, and the only other homework are Maps to fill out.

History 111 with Professor Mann is the prefect class for a freshman looking for a chill class. Don't expect him to like you very much if you don't show up or come to class late. He won't get mad to your face, he'll just become kind of passive aggressive. You have no excuse if you get less than an A. Absolutely no excuse, it's such an easy class.

Dr. Mann is incredibly knowledgeable of material in class. Entire grade was based off 5 hundred question take home exams that goes along with the readings. In class we just watched history documentaries.

My favorite teacher at oakton. Super helpful, extremely caring and all around great. He wants you to succeed and he makes the material interesting. We mostly watched history documentaries in his class. The tests were take home and multiple choice. Truly a wonderful person and teacher. Not power hungry like some other teachers at oakton! Fantastic!

After taking HIS 111, I asked him if he was offering HIS 112 for the summer. Turns out he wasn't but he offered to open up the course just for me. I took this course off campus and got it all done in two weeks. That's if you use your time to your advantage. I learned a lot and as a professor he can help out with anything you need.

Professor Mann was very helpful at getting me through HIS 111. I took this course with him again because I did not do so well the first time around. When I took the course with him, I finally was able to see real results towards passing the course. He makes sure that you pass and that you understand the concepts taught in class. Take him!!!

I took this History of Modern Latin America. Really enjoyed the class with this class. I like how he uses films made and in Spanish. I am from Mexico and I hope he does more classes on this. What I really like is how he emails back when you need help.

Took Professor Mann's US History class during Fall 2017 and his Non-Western Civilization class during Spring 2018. He is a teacher who cares about his students and wants to help them succeed. If you pay attention during the lectures and documentaries, take home exams and quizzes will be easy. I would definitely recommend Professor Mann's classes.

I always hated History. Names dates places. Boring. I took US History part 1 cause I had too. Really liked it. Take home exams let me really study and do better than in class. He is the first prof that emailed me back when I have a question. I am in the Non-Western class. Very interesting to learn about places outside of the US.
