Reviews of professor Javier Oronoz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
You cannot expect any class in college to be easy! Sign up for this class if youre ready to read and LEARN! He had 3 tests and 3 quizzes in total. Make quizlets on the study guides given and youll be fine! No homework other than read! Also, dont be afraid to ask questions!

Professor Oronoz was great at explaining ancient texts and stories. I'm typically not a fan of history but it was a super fun class! Keep up with the posted lectures and assigned reading to not fall behind. Very responsive through Canvas and helps students. Not homework heavy. (Zero cost textbook course)

A guy who seems like he knows his history but can only teach a class by reading off a paper for 3 hours straight. He states in the syllabus that participation is a requirment but has no class discussion because his face is only paying attention to the 20 page lecture he typed up. He may be knowledgeable in history but not in public speaking.

Professor Oronoz did a great job with this online class. He put in lectures that were pretty long, but they were very helpful with the midterm and final. He is funny, dorky, and makes learning the material fun. If you apply yourself, you should easily get an A.

He's an awkward guy, but he has good material. Reading the assigned primary sources and articles will help you so much as he bases his tests on the themes of them. For the exams you'll have to do a lot of studying, so be prepared! Reading, being engaged, and participating in discussions will help you get the most out of the class

Professor Oronoz class was very interesting. He is very clear on what he expects from the class and his syllabus helps guide you week by week. He gives great feedback and wants you to succeed. Overall he's a cool guy.

I loved this class. Great professor. Style takes a little getting used to but once you get it, the lectures are fun.

Cool professor. Only about 30 pages of reading per chapter before lecture which isnt much tbh. If you pay attention in class and do the assignments then youre sure to pass. He covers all the quiz and exam material in class too. Super cool teacher. 10/10 would recommend. grades assignments immediately and gives great feedback to improve on.

A really great professor, he outlined expectations and had a very good syllabus he followed to the T. You will pass if you simply do the assignments and show up to class. Cool goofy guy tbh and one of the best humanities teachers I've ever had.

He was pretty boring. The work was also not interesting, I usually like history classes but not this one.
