Reviews of professor Rodolfo Fernandez

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
If you go to HIST1600 with Fernandez, just show up to lecture and pay attention and then you don't have to study for the exams -- good notes will get you far since the exams are open note. I feel like this class is the first time I am enjoying history!

Such a great lecturer, really cares about his students, and is always willing to give feedback on papers during office hours. He is clearly passionate about the subject and I really enjoyed this course. Easy W and gen ed!!

This class was enjoyable, the content was not difficult and exams were online and open note. He is enthusiastic about the topic and it was enjoyable to listen to his lectures. There were only 2 exams, with weekly participation posts, and 4 required short writing assignments throughout the semester. Make sure to go to class. Perfect gen ed.

You have to go to lecture to pass the exams. His lectures were kinda hard to follow in my opinion sometimes but he provides a lot of detail where if you take good notes you will do well on the exams that are primarily short answer. Blog posts, participation and analysis paper will save your grade. I did okay on exams and these are what got me an A-
