Comment:
Hes a nice guy, took him fall 2019. But wow, so unorganized. The final was truly a mess. BUT, he isnt a bad professor. He knows history well. And the material isnt hard. So while he is unorganized, it wasnt impossible to do well. Hes just kinda crazy. Also, hes super lenient with deadlines and offers EC. For hist110, definitely take him.

Class was two days a week for an hour and fifteen and he assigns readings for every class period with a clicker question for the reading. I never read because it was too much and just guessed/looked up the clicker question. Never listened to lecture eithe PRO: There is no tests, only one term paper at the end! and a couple homework/outside videos.

This guy is the best teacher I have ever had. So much so that I decided to wait to take my credits until I could take it with him. He has his political tangents that I disagree with but that doesn't matter. He assigns like 300 points all year with TONS of extra credit. I didn't do any of it, but it is mostly movies. I hope to see him teaching 109!

Comment:
This class was centered around global warming which was cool. Frank is liberal/libertarian and doesnt hide it. Very long classes and lectures go off on a tangent but he cares a lot about the students and the class. Easy grader. I went every other class and ended with an A. Super helpful in office hours, go to him about midterm paper for an A

Comment:
He is quite passionate, but felt more like a politics class than history. I took this hoping for an easy GE, but it certainly is not that. Many easy but time-consuming assignments. Clicker points graded on accuracy and are based on very long readings, so majority of people end up guessing. Not difficult if you are willing to put in a lot of time.

Nobiletti is an awesome guy. He is very passionate about history. This class was tough because it was 3 hours long, but assignments were minimal.

Comment:
There are no pop quizzes, but 2 clicker questions every class that make up 15% of your grade based on accuracy. It's hard because they're based on the reading which is over 30 pages so I ended up just guessing because it wasn't worth reading and getting the answer wrong anyway. He's very passionate about history but a 3 hour class is death.

The only homework in this class is 2 clicker points in class. We wrote a term paper and a final paper as the biggest assignments. There were other, easy assignments but the work load is surprisingly low. Frank is so passionate and a great lecturer-- the his class if you love history and analyzing it.

This was an inspirational class. Frank really knows the material well and does great conveying it too the student. I took both the first and the second half of the course and enjoyed them very much. If a student takes time too embrace history and enjoy learning it then there is no other then Frank Nobilletti to teach it.

I really enjoyed him as a professor. I think he is hardworking, caring, and LOVES to teach, very notable. Clicker questions every class, two papers but I got 100% on the final so I wouldn't say they are tough. I think he is worth taking.

Take this class if you can. He is a very caring individual and it is clear to see in his lectures. I had him during the 2016 election and he was a very good asset to have to utilize with coping, understanding and learning about the process. He cares a lot about history and our future as a species.

Don't take this class if you have the choice. You have to go to every class or you won't pass. Incredibly boring, hard clicker questions, randomly calls on you. Best part was that instead of having actual exams, the midterm and final are just essays. READ THE BOOK and review lectures before class. All of his clicker quizzes are based off of them.

don't take this class if you are looking for an easy A. in fact, don't take this class at all. VERY unorganized, completely unstructured. nobiletti is not very responsive to students' concerns. tons of clicker questions about minute details of the texts-which bring down grades, as well as very unclear lectures and essay instructions

Took this class for lower division. Everything was unorganized and the T.A (Sherry) was a tough grader. I did not feel motivated due to the class materials presented with scattered ideas. The grading was not as fair or concise and clear. I would say my upper division courses are much more easier than this class, and that says something......

One of the worst classes I have ever taken, lectures do not pertain to anything useful. Class is unstructured and disorganized. None of the assignments have anything to do with what is discussed in lectures. Do not take this class if you are looking for an interesting/easy class. There are no tests, just two papers that you are not well explained.

The lectures are two and half hours long and there are no tests, just two papers. He does clicker questions every class to count attendance. He does offer extra credit so that's a plus but I didn't enjoy this class.

Professor Nobiletti is very passionate about American history. He brings in current events and films into the class. He has a lot of energy and is very inspiring. This is not the boring history class you took in high school. Be prepared to see the past in a new an interesting way. You will learn about cultural history.

I took this class to fulfill my exploration course. Frank wants you to do well which means you need to go to class. There are clicker questions every class and they can be tricky if you don't do your reading beforehand. The lectures are unorganized, so make sure you ask questions. No in class exams, but two papers instead. Very do-able.

You MUST go to class because there are clicker quizzes everyday. They're also not easy. So, make sure to do the readings. Other than that, your grade is based upon 4 video assignments, 3 other assignments and two essays. If you ask him, he's very helpful and makes it clear why you received a certain grade. He is an awesome guy, I loved his lectures

This was the worst class I've ever taken. The grading was horrible. Assignments were easy, but the professor never allowed anyone to get full credit. Also, participation MATTERS in a class of 180 people and clicker questions count. I received an A on the term paper, assignments and final, and I still got a B in the class because of participation.
