Reviews of professor Herve Tchumkam

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Herve is not easy. The HIGHEST grade was a 93 & the lowest was far lower than what these ratings say. I feel that he saw these and became harder. He's terribly hard to understand & very boring. There are several things wrong with the class, but the most important negative is that there's 0 guidance & he gets mad at you for not understanding. Avoid!

Interesting topic and learned a lot during his class. The lectures are long considering the three hour block but he adds humor and mixes in movies to make it more digestible. Somewhat frustrating that the whole class of 20 grades fell between basically an 85 and 94 despite some doing very little work, but overall great teacher and class.

Honestly just show up to class, say like 3-4 things, and listen to him. If you have any history background on world geopolitics from the 40s to the 90s you can very much use that to cruise through the class. He's a good guy as well and easy to talk to. If you take the class, do not worry. Just do NOT be obvious you do not care.

Can't say enough good things about Professor Tchumkam. He is awesome! Show up, do the reading, and say a few things per class and you will be in a good spot and learn a lot.

This class (Failure of Humanity in Rwanda) and professor have completely change my life, my way of thinking, and the way I view international politics and humanity. I am a senior and this is by far the most thought provoking class I have taken in my college career. Take this professor whenever you have the opportunity!
