Reviews of professor Alejandro Garcia

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Extensive history learning. It's not my thing so it was rough jumping in after being out of school for a few years. Prof really works with you on assignments if the class gets difficult.

You certainly have to work for your grade. However, Professor Garcia unpacks the nuances of history that lead the nation-state to where it is. While the works are challenging, Professor Garcia will tell you what he is looking for, and if you do the work, you will leave his lectures enlightened! This instructor is an OG turned Ph.D.

He gives a lot of reading and homework that DO NOT relate to the lecture. He was also telling the class about one girl who was telling him his class is hard and was saying not so good things about her.

I like Professor Garcia because he is willing to help, and I found his Zoom lectures helpful when doing the assignments. I did not find the assignments hard, but what killed me was the amount of reading I had to do to complete them. If I had to do it again, I would pick another class, just because of the heavy lectures.
