This m%^$#@ think he so smart

He knows his history, but does not lecture. Goes off subject all the time.

gives a quite a bit of work, excellent teacher, knows his material.

Professor Ah is very smart. He know his History. He gives a lot of work but you will remember your History when he get done with you. He also looks good. Go professor Ah you are a hot boy!!!!

He is helpful if you go to office hours. tests are hard, lectures are boring and he takes attendance and takes oof points if u miss class. Gives lots of extra credit.

Dr. Ah is an excellent teacher. If you want to learn something about the REAL history of America, you should definitely take his class! The exams are easy just make sure you read. Each chapter is only 4-8 pages. How hard is that to read?

Inspiring & enlightening lectures all about the facts of U.S. History. I learn a lot just from his lectures alone. Reading material given is worth it! He brings history to life.

post lectures online. go to class, makes it real easy on tests and knowledgable. most, if not all questions on test from back of units in book. really great teacher.

This is a great professor and a pretty easy A IF YOU: come to class, do some of the reading, and stay on his good side. Tons of extra credit!!!

go to class, read, DO E.C!!! and you can get an A. i got a very high A in his class. hes a good teacher. take him

Dr. A is a wonderful professor. His tests and quizzes are super easy just read the book which has short chapters anyways.

good learning

Attend class, read the text, do the research, quote your sources including info from his lectures, power point and notes do the extra credit and you'll ace the coourse.

Dr. Ak is a very good professor. he knows his subject and clearly gets his points across. if you are interested in the subject, you will enjoy his lectures.

DR. ALK WAS A GOOD TEACHER. HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S TALKIN ABOUT AND THE COURSE AND LECTURES OUR INTERESTING. LET'S YOU KNOW WHAT'S ON THE EXAM AND QUIZZES BEFORE HAND..READ THE BOOK [W/SHORT CHAPTERS] AND STUDY AND YOU'LL DO GOOD.

Luv'd the class but if you are not ready to discuss race relations then I wouldn't recomend it. Weekly online posts were fun and great for class discussion. This class really interested me and I hope to take Alkebulan n the future

Great teacher, really makes you think about race relations. If you enjoy learning new things and have an open mind towards another opinion, this class rocks. Getting an A is hard, but the grade poorly reflects the quality of the education you get. What you learn from this class cannot be represented by a grade. i loved it.

Study Guides he gives out are worthless. Often lazy and disorganized. I had him for 170B and he was fine. Now he's slackin a bit. Offers a lot of extra credit. Class is interesting. I reccommend study groups. He knows his stuff.

Dr. A. is very well informed on the information covered which helps when it comes to his explanations on paticular topics. Whether your African American or not, you'll learn a lot about people and topics you were never exposed to before. Great class. oh, and make sure to speak up when he asks questions. It'll definately help you out during tests.

Class is just all lecture, but it's very structured and easy to follow. The class is interesting and it broadened my knowledge of the subject. Definately recommend to students.

Dr. Ah is the man.VERY Knowledgable and is not bias.The class is the truth,I wish everyone could take it..Do the Xtra Credit(DOIT!),read and youll do fine.Study guides arnt much help but this isnt your traditional college class.he wants you to learn the stuff.Not just study to pass the test.Real coo,down to earth guy.Make sure to go to class though

Tests are based more on powerpoints than reading the book. Attend class if you want extra credit. Gives study guides that only help a little...so just PAY ATTENTION in class.

Uses powerpoint for lectures and lectures entire class period. Read about a chapter a week. Gives 4 quizzes, a midterm, and a final. Attendance is taken daily, so be sure to show up!

Now uses clickers. Attendance is mandatory. Make sure you read the chapters before class to do well on clicker questions. I'm not sure how useful the study guides are versus you own notes. Take notes and highlight key points that he talks about and read the chapters

Maybe its just me, but I thought this class was as easy as it gets...? Yes you need to be there, but the clicker questions he gives you in class are the same EXACT questions he puts on his tests, how does it get easier than that? I got an A in the class with MINIMAL, if any, studying. Nice, fair guy in my opinion.

Nice guy, boring class. Pretty predictable. Easy if you stay on top of the subjects. He is a nice guy, but pretty bland when it comes to teaching.

He really wants you to pass! He gives so much extra credit its unbelievable! My grade raised 2 grade levels because of that. Also, you have to use the clicker to answer questions for points every class. So don't forget to READ BEFORE CLASS! The points add up fast! The only thing I didn't like was that he put questions from chp 11 into a chp 10 quiz

One of the best professors San Diego State has to offer. This course offers so much information. Of course if takes work, but he provides more than enough extra credit for you to recieve the grade you want. Be Prepared to learn and have fun. Good Luck. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Ah is one of the only professors I have had on campus that truly cared about me as a student and as a person. He is a great guy, once you break the ice. Attendance is mandatory! You must also listen and take good notes in lectures. he gives ample opportunities for extra credit. Those who don't do well, didn't study and didn't go to class.

I absolutely loved this professoer!! He is very stern in demanding, but if you just follow his rules you will do great. Clickers are kind of hard if you dont read. I didnt read and got a D in my clicker but still passed the class with an A. Do the study guides and write down all clicker questions and you will do fine.

If you want an easy class to wipe out your American Institution GE requirement, then I highly recommend Dr. Alkebulan. Reading the book is the number one key to passing this class; it also will help you a lot on clicker questions. I thought it was very interesting and I learned a lot. Overall, I enjoyed it. (:

You have to go to the classes for the clicker questions, and make sure you do the EC whenever you can. I thought I was getting a D, did one EC, and somehow ended up with a C+. I think he gave more points out than he said on the syllabus and divides it by 500 regardless. Easy class, write down the clicker questions, they are the test usually.

I have read some on the comments and to me the only way you can even come close to getting a grade lower then a C is if you do nothing at all. yes you must read the textbook however i did not study at all for the 1st test and got a A. the clicker questions from class are the questions on the test. This is as easy as easy could get.

This class is pretty easy. Write down the clicker questions because those are half of the test! Read the sections in the book that are covered in the online assignments, it's pretty clear. And usually no class on fridays. Easy A honestly

SImply put, its exactly what you'd expect from a class like this. Not too easy, not too hard. Its just a normal class history style class.

He is a well educated professor! If you fail his class then you obviously didnt try. Some of my friends failed every single one of his quizes and still managed to get a "C" JUst write the papers and show up you will do fine! I think he is brilliant. Just mis-understood at times.

Not as hard as I was expecting, lectures are interesting but weekly "assignment" and daily clicker points were kind of a drag. Reading both textbooks is a must, also writing down the clicker questions since his tests are 2/3rds clicker qs. Also, many opportunities for extra credit. Take this class! You'll learn a lot.

I liked this guy a lot. I've had him and Merrit and much preferred Alkebulan. If you go to lecture and read the book there's no way you can't get an A. He gives a ton of extra credit too, enough to boost you from a low B up to an A. Good lecturer, make sure you read and you'll be set.

This class was seriously easy. His study guides are exactly what's on the test. The only way you can't get a good grade is if you don't read. He even gives a lot of extra credit and he gives out more points then he says. Overall an awesome class.

AFRAS 170B was a VERY interesting class. Professor A is clearly passionate about the topic. Definitely read the textbook so you can get the Clicker questions correct (they are HUGE for grades - 2 points for getting it right, 1 point for getting it wrong/attendance). Study for midterm, quizzes, and final, because they are a little challenging.

This class is very informative and very easy if you keep up with the lectures. I learned so much in this class and it honestly changed my life. I've taken 2 of his classes; Afras 170A and Afras 170B. I got A's in both classes. Definitely doable if you pay attention and take notes.

Prof A knows the material well and is passionate about his teaching. Make sure to read the textbooks to get the clicker Qs right. To take good notes to prepare for quizzes and exams, focus more on what Prof A is saying and not the short bullet points on the powerpoints.

He does a pretty good job of keeping the class interesting. I really enjoyed this class because he taught it so well. I definitely recommend taking this class with him.

Really good class. Learned so much and he is very passionate about the subject. You can earn a really good grade if you really study and pay attention to his lectures.

one of the best professors at state. He really cares about hte students if you take the time to get to know him. Don't take the class if your aren't interested in finding out how horrible the us gov. is:)

Alkebulan is good professor and he is one of the best professors at SDSU. There is no much assignments only mid tern and finals. easy A. I am taking another class with him in the spring. and I would recommend every one to take his class you will learn a lot. he knows what he teaches and he is available for questions and office hours. he's helpful

This class is graded by 4 quizzes, 1 mid-term exam, 1 final exam, and 1 written assignment. Great Professor !

The material is great, you'll learn a lot. He is very responsive to emails. His grading is clear, and a bit tough. Grammar/Spelling/Style is as important as content. There are few assignments but the reading is solid, so keep up. Don't let the others scare you; if you don't do the work you won't pass. Isn't that obvious? He's a great professor!

I had him for AFRAS 170B online during summer and he was great! This class is graded by 4 discussions, 12 EASY quizzes, multiple choice midterm, multiple choice final, and text assignment. He does ask for 4 in text citations for the discussions and if you don't do them then you won't do good on the discussions. READ THE RUBRIC! :)

Professor A is not a bad professor overall. His readings are not bland and the assignments that he gives are pretty straight forward. While there is a clear message that he would want in the responses, they are still manageable course-load. Overall despite the contrary, he really seemed to have improved his communication with students and not bad.

Overall after taking his class, I realized that some of the ratings here about him are inaccurate. His grading and the assignments were not the most difficult thing in the world as long as one can keep up with it. The pacing of the class itself was not problematic and I certainly was able to take away the most important lessons from my time.

This is a class where you actually have to do the work in order to get good grades. If you are one of those students who just want to pass, then you are not a good candidate for this class. I rather come out of a class with some knowledge rather than just passing and Professor Alkebulan provides all the tools to improve academically. Thank you

This is my first time writing a rate my professor review, and never thought I would until now. There are important modules we need to complete that are a chunk of our grade. As the time of this writing, this is the second time he has not posted one of these important assignments on Canvas, and result in 10% drop in grade for each missed.

Professor Alkebulan and his TA for the semester, Seb, were so kind! I had a rough semester and needed some help, and they were both so amazing. I learned so much from this course, and the format of the course (POL380) was not that difficult. I'm not sure how the in-person classes are, but I would recommend taking the online course :)

I finished this class with an A+. The reviews make Dr. A seem scary, but he's really understanding + kind. If you're pre-law and want to go to law school, this class reflects law school expectations. High standards, LOTS of dense reading and writing. If you can't handle this class, I'd re-evaluate law school. You can't pass w/o doing the reading.
