Comment:
The worst professor ever. Took 6 classes for the semester and none of the other ones gave me below an A-. I literally did every single paper and discussion board that he asked at the length required and I still got a poor grade. For some of the assignments, other students wrote literally less than a page. Makes me wonder what they got..

Comment:
Took his class as a winter semester class as a random elective credit unrelated to my major. He was very unclear of what he expected from us and gave the bare minimum of instruction but still graded very harshly. At the end of the class he posted an announcement telling everyone that he was "tired of students complaining about their grades"

Terrible, made my GPA go down a lot, I've never experienced this. He's terrible, and he doesn't even explain to you why he gave you such a horrible grade. Worst teacher, doesn't deserve his PHD. Terrible terrible terrible.

This class turned into an online class. I thought it would be fine but it turned out to be the worst class experience I have ever had. The tests given seem manageable but he is a tough grader. I have never gotten below an A on ANY essay I have ever written; in this this I struggle to get an 82. Terrible, terrible class. Take Western Civ instead.

This was a terrible experience. Since he was unable to attend class time, it was changed to an online course. Exams were tough, excessive readings, inconsistent syllabus throughout the semester, and expectations WERE NOT CLEAR. This was my only poor grade this semester and brought my GPA down significantly. DO NOT TAKE HIM IF YOU VALUE YOUR GPA.

He's just great to listen to. He has a dry sense of humor and hint of Jeff Goldblum in him and his lectures are very interesting. I took him twice since he's so good. It's not the easiest class, but you learn a lot and he holds half of his classes online. One of my favorites at Uhart, hands down.

Comes off kind of cold and on the boring side. If you pay attention and take detailed good notes the class will be a piece of cake if you don't then you'll have a hard time and most likely fail. everything is based off his lectures so attendance is def crucial.

Very attractive, and also great teacher. Passed the class easily, although I did take very good notes. He also occasionally made very random dirty jokes about his wife which kept me paying attention haha. Loved this class.

For an aucw there was almost no writing, just the writing on the 3 test essays which were given to prior to the test and a choice. Very easy and very cool teacher to talk and listen too.

I feel bad for him because nobody in our class really wants to be there, but his lectures are very clear and once he gets going, they're very interesting and in depth. He's clearly knowledgeable too, and presents everything in an easy to understand manner. Overall, he's a cool dude. :)

Speak up in class and you'll get a better grade. Be VERY detailed on the tests and quizzes. He once gave me a 79 on a quiz in which I got nothing wrong b/c he said I was too brief...the girl in front of me who raised her hand a lot got an 85 and got an entire question wrong... I didn't read one sentence of the book and managed a B+.

Amazing and Passionate teacher. He is genuinley interested in the subjects he teaches and makes the class experience fun. He is a tough but fair grader and expects you to be attentive in class. 2 tests and 2 group projects. I got a B+ and i did a lot of work.

1st class informed us he didn't want to teach the class, had been called in last minute. Didnt ever seem to enjoy teaching the class. Light work load: 2 group projects 2 tests. People in my group sucked so i did my own project. His test questions were very hard to understand.

HOT. He is so passionate about history so lecture isnt bad. 2 Group projects and 2 tests is pretty much it for work. Didnt really need to do the reading, but just pull some stuff out to memorize for the tests.If he knows you, you will do better.Liked it.

Dr. Fierro was one of the best teachers I had the pleasure of working with at the University of Hartford. Out of all my classes there, it is fair to say that he was the most interesting and challenging teacher. And he's hot, as well.

Awesome prof. Kept me guessing about my grade until the very end though. High expectations. Maybe a little too high for an AUC class. But devastatingly handsome, which made going to class a treat.
