Reviews of professor Michael Pulido

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He was very clear about the expectations and he was very lenient in grading! There is a lot of reading but it's a history class so that should be expected. There were only 2 papers (midterm and final) and you're given the prompt weeks in advance. Also, very easy to contact and responds quickly to emails! Overall, great teacher :)

Professor Pulido is an amazing teacher! I took HIST 101, 102, and 103 with him and never regretted. He is understanding, his lectures are very engaging and funny. He talks about the complicated things using easy words. I also loved his assignments, which are creative and interesting as well.

I took this class as a sophomore in high school and it was my first college-level class. I am now a senior and professor Pulido is part of the reason why I decided to do Running Start. The course is laid out very well and is easy to follow. His feedback is very helpful and allowed me to go from a B on the first paper to an A on the second.

Gives the most detailed feedback I have ever seen a professor give, and is always willing to talk about what you need. Class was pretty bare bones in that the lectures were mostly white backgrounds with black texts, and he could be a pretty plain professor at times. Not bad by any means, just not what everyone will want from a history class

Lectures are recorded from 2020, he did not attempt to plug into real issues occurring today (2022). Unrealistic expectations for grading for a 100 level course, wants you to write 100% of things from lecture but he doesn't make any special attempts in the lecture to denote importance. Of the 3 essays we did, 0 people got full 80 points.

Great professor! A few short lecture videos a week, with one discussion post. 4 quizzes and 2 papers total for the quarter. Very organized, never had any issues with the course. Would take another class with Professor Pulido again!

When you read the instructions for the discussions/assignments, BE SURE you understand them clearly. For example, I read each assignment's instructions and was told upon completion of the assignment and grade, "Good Job...but", and then he said he wanted something different, which made me feel like I was supposed to read his mind to what he wanted!

As another student said, BE SURE you understand the discussion and assignment instructions! I read the instructions thoroughly, but the feedback given was that he wanted something different which made me feel like I was supposed to read his mind! I would not retake this class, at least with this professor. Very frustrating to say the least!

Good teacher

Very lecture heavy, but I still got an A in that class without notes and just by paying attention.
