Comment:

He is very smart and knows a lot about history. You need to buy his textbook, all of his quizzes are based off of it. His lectures were so boring just because he speaks slow due to English being his 2nd language. His tests and quizzes were easy if you read and did your study guides. There was 3 essays the whole semester. Super easy.

He literally never follows his own syllabus and all he talks about is how terrible America is. It has almost nothing to do with his poorly written textbook that you have to buy. His online course is horrible. Do not take this class. None of his quizzes follow the material. His online lectures are so boring I quit watching them.

If you want to get in touch with him outside of class he is useless. Tells us the wrong information in class.

Youre better off watching YouTube than taking a class with Satya. He is pretty much a crook, youre forced to buy the book he wrote for $70 because theres tear out worksheets in the back(you cant sell it). He has a blatant disregard for anyone if they have opposing ideas, especially since he like to give misinformation. Stay clear if you can.

I see a lot of people complaining about how he makes you "Explain content before you're taught it", but there's a method to his madness. He makes you think logically. If you actively participate in class and do the homework how he says to, you'll do just fine. Yes he's from India, but he articulates English fairly well.

Comment:

Professor teaches by asking students to explain the material to him, before its taught, when it isnt in the textbook. Gives assignments, and then takes points off for things he never told you. Example: somebody in my class received a 50% for not typing an assignment that he never said had to be typed. Does not give make-ups.

Comment:

He veers off course from the material he's suppose to be teaching by delving into amateur social science theories and material that is niche anti-euro-centrism for the entire class. If you want to learn proper world history without the personal biases of the professor affecting the content, avoid this professor.

He isn't that nice, kind of rude, has an accent and mumbles a lot when speaking. If you're not good in history, you will struggle in this class. He makes it easy at first, but by midway he picks up the pace and makes it a higher level class than it is. You have to get the book, and you have to read the chapters to survive. Avoid if you can!!!

He came unprepared the first day. He took a week to select the textbooks we should get, and finding them was difficult because he didn't order enough. He never gave a complete syllabus . He gave us the wrong information to study for tests, and would e-mail us the right info right before the test. He gets basic history facts wrong. Avoid him.

He is a very interesting professor. Many people don't like him because he tells you how it is and demands respect from all his classmates. If you give him respect he will give it back. You will learn a lot from this class that will change your opinion on how you view the world. Highly Recommended!

My experience with this man was very poor. You can pass the class with an A without buying his book or showing up for the documentaries. In terms of personality, his is the worst I've come across. I'd warn you not to go to his office if you have a disagreement. I did, and rather than address the issue he treated to call campus PD. Classy.

Despite the class being an easy A, he really kicks up the work load the few weeks right before finals. The work load increases to a 300 level course and his notes get extremely cryptic. He gives study guides for each quiz and exam, but his test questions are based on very specific details that are not indicated in the guide.

I can't stand this Professor! DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! He is aweful! He rambles on about how terrible America is yet he still lives here? He tried to penalize me for leaving class one day because I was ill and left the class early! He doesn't really work with you. It's his way or no way

I took this class to meet my gen ed and it was a horrible experience. The professor is barely even there. He's in the room physically, but his mind is a million miles away and he basically just reads and lectures. If you ask as question, he stares at you, then continues reading. It's bizarre. Trust me, you don't want this professor.

I was off campus due to a medical issue and he gave me an E. All the other professors worked with me online except him. I had straight A's on everything until I had to be home for a while. If you don't plan on getting injured, this class isn't impossible to get an A in. He's soft spoken, so sit in the front row if possible.
