Reviews of professor Michael Pulido

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
weekly map quizzes are free points. there were three "essays"/research parts throughout the quarter that require quite a bit of reading and time (on a civilization of your choosing). other than that, take notes on the awesome lectures and videos and the class will be a breeze

He cares about students and is responsive, accepts drafts to review before due dates, drops the lowest quiz and questions are from information that was either on his lectures or power points. You can skip 3 discussions, requires only 8 of 11. He gives the opportunity of extra credit through course evaluation. He grades essays hard, but I recommend!

Fantastic! Gives very useful feedback within a week of submission and is very approachable and accessible outside of class. Format is a weekly lecture and a discussion regarding some short related readings, and a short quiz per unit, open note, all questions from the lectures. Two essays in a quarter, for midterm and final. Lenient essay grader.

Very lecture heavy course, but they're enjoyable to listen to. I genuinely enjoyed going to the lectures and I would heavily recommend taking good notes, as they will be very helpful to study for the exams or to understand core concepts. He used a lot of really interesting variety in material and media, such as songs. Great class, would take again.

Professor Pulido is a good teacher overall. There are discussions, workshop in class, quizzes, all exams are take home essays. He is flexible, but the lectures are pretty heavy and a lot of info. Couple of the quizzes and discussions get dropped which helped out my grade. But he can be a tough grader. I would recommend him if you need class credit!

The professor was great. I enjoyed his class very much even though I'm not a big fan of history but I would take this class again for the fun of it. He was a bit of a tough grader but he gave great feedback on papers and tests.

I took HIST103 over the summer, and Prof. Pulido was great! He's an engaging lecturer and I can tell he puts a lot of effort into grading and giving feedback. Overall the best professor I've had in an asynchronous online class.
