Reviews of professor Patrick Iber

The 2 comments below even got the course numbers wrong. Prof Ibers class is good but not great, but Im going to give five stars to boost the score. Scammers go away!

The instructor often uses video clips, documentaries and debates to fill up lecture time. Mediocre course design and relies heavily on opinions. No communication whatsoever, stubborn and petty. On the bright side of things, show up & pass, easy material and grading. Though definitely not the best bang of your buck, avoid at all cost.

Professor Iber is really knowledgable about what he teaches and is clearly very passionate about it--which makes his lectures super interesting. He's funny asf too. Highly recommend.

Latin American history has lots of longs textbook and PDF readings, so be prepared, and there are reading checks at the start of every class so be prepared  His lectures are interesting and he incorporates some good humor, but be prepared for him to express his political views. Overall a great professor that I've enjoyed!

Prof. Iber is a very knowledgeable person who doesn't always make the best use of class time. I found we would get very distracted by Top Hat or discussions which left little time for actual lecture. That seems harsh but really my complaint is I wish we had covered more things in class because what we did do was fascinating, we just didn't do much.

After a semester I can't recall what have I learned from this class. After TOPHAT and 100+ pages readings/week. What have I learned???

Definitely recommend taking a class with Prof Iber. I'm not a history major and just took his class for a gen ed so I think I would've found the class material to be boring if it had been taught by anyone else, but he presents the information in a very engaging manner. Grade is based on three midterms, a final paper, and TopHat attendance points.

Iber was a great professor. He cares about his students and allowed them to basically determine what they want their grade to be (based off of how much effort they put into the class). There was a lot of reading involved which usually accompanies every history class so that was to be expected. The 3 quizzes we had were pretty easy.

Absolute gem of a professor. Would recommend to anyone. Readings are heavy but helpful for understanding concepts, and need to do readings for tests. But prof is very funny and helpful and willing to work with students to succeed

Patrick was my favorite prof this semester. He doesn't like to lecture for 75 minutes just as students don't like to be lectured for 75 minutes, so the culture breaks are fun and interesting. He is hilarious and lively to the point that I was sad to miss one lecture. The two midterms and final are by no means terrible, especially with discussion.
