Very impersonal. Never learned names.
Disregard for school policy regarding big point assignment cut-off dates,
Routinely embarrasses students.
Prohibited laptop use despite textbook access being online only (which we paid for).
Overly strict phone rules.
Treated students like children.
Unaccommodating but expects students to be flexible.

The only positive aspect to this course is that the workload is not too heavy. However, this is the worst class I have taken in my 15 years of education. Find another professor or take another course that satisfies this credit. Kefentse's lectures are good but the exams do not match up at all. Exam averages are below 75 for each exam.

I really liked him but he was like a high school teacher. No electronics in class

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is a very odd grader, never once received an A on any discussion assignment regardless of the amount of work or effort put into it. He is very passionate about this course, and class is enjoyable but the tests are very hit or miss. Hard to study for the exams unless you pay attention to every word he says.

Professor Kefentse makes you do randomly chosen student led discussions for the first half of the semester based on the long lecture videos and textbook readings assigned outside of class, and then a ridiculously hard debate for the second half. Many of the assignments seemed to be more of a reason for him to embarrass students. HORRIBLE

Professor Kefentse was really strict in class, but the course in general was really fun and easy. You just have to show up for lectures and read the textbook for the quizzes.

Kefentse is a terrible instructor! The course concepts are very easy, but he does his best to make them as hard as possible.  He is not helpful as there are no office hours. You cannot review missed materials on tests. He gives a debate at the end of the semester where one argument is very biased and destined to win. He has a big ego too.

Kefentse is one of the rudest professors I have ever had.  He humiliated several students during the semester and makes it clear he does not care about his students.  He does not put in effort to hide his political beliefs either.  I will say this was an easier non us history than hispanic studies
