Reviews of professor Herve Tchumkam

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Took the Harkis course for History and KNW credit. I actually learned more than I thought I would, not only about the subject matter but on new ideas about life as well. Lowest grade on anything was a 91, so an A- is guaranteed. Just show you care and ask questions in class, and an A should be no problem. Herve is a real chiller.

WAY harder than being suggested, when we do well as a class, he makes it even hard so we get punished rather than rewarded. Not available and is rude when students ask questions. AVOID.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Class average: 93.295 (!!). A large majority of the class received an outright A; everyone received an A- or higher. Much easier than the stereotypical college course.

Herve is an awesome teacher and keeps it real. The Harkis class is a bit dense and attendance is mandatory but totally worth it once a week with barely any HW. He ends class reasonably early most days and is extremely generous on the paper grades you get. Show interest and effort, and put in some time for the 3 papers and you will get an A.

Herve is a very personable guy and really cares about connecting with his students. He teaches about colonialism in a very clear way. He is open minded and likes when students contribute. He's so sweet and I always looked forward to coming to class. He is a fair grader and paper prompts are broad enough so you can cover a lot of topics. I RECOMMEND
