The lectures were fairly easy to follow and I enjoyed them. He also gave plenty of time to know and prepare for what's on the tests, which consisted of writing a paper on a topic and a few key terms from the lecture notes. It's a good class if you want to really learn the material but also not too intensive. I would definitely take his class again.

Easy enough class, mostly exams based on lecture material. Only one assignment based on the supplementary textbook. He is a great lecturer, I learned a lot during my time in the class. Exams are all based on the lectures, and they're not hard, just time consuming. Would take this class again!

Course consisted of three exams and one essay for which you need to acquire a book. Long lecture videos but assignments are easy if following it through with Word. Assignment requirements are clear as well as grading criteria. You can be done with the exam if you follow the lectures and type it in. Videos are interesting and quite informative.

Professor Lopez is great. His lectures can be long but definitely interesting and easy to understand. His tests are very time consuming but are based on lectures that are recorded. He gives extra credit options and is very understanding. I recommend anyone to take his class.

This class was pretty easy. There were 3 tests; all test material came from the lectures. Tests are essay, and you get the questions ahead of time so there was plenty of time to prepare your answers. There were two homework assignments that were also pretty easy, and there's an opportunity for extra credit if you need it.

I took Texas history 2301: Everything is based off his lectures, take notes on what he says and it's so easy. The only grades were 4 essays and a couple "research" papers. Take notes on what he says then convert it to an essay. I got a 100 while my peers complained about how horrible he was Lopez is a cool dude and he makes everything interesting.

The class structure was pretty straightforward. Only 3 essay exams and two other papers. If you are somebody who hates writing essays, I would not recommend this class because this class is pretty much just essays. I overall liked the class and Professor Lopez was always very understanding.

He's a great lecturer, and even though it can get a little dull, he does really well when explaining and describing whatever the topic is. Thanks to his descriptive kind of lectures, the essays were not that bad, seeing as how my notes were able to really carry my essays. The questionnaire is also not too bad, just so long as you actually do it.

He isnt that bad of a teacher he does prerecorded lectures that are kinda long. But as long as you take detailed notes and then turn his words into your own your bound to get an A in the class.

Professor Lopez was an amazing teacher, he graded very lightly and it wasn't hard to get a good grade in his class. If you took notes in the lectures or even if you didn't it was still easy, you just needed to explain the topic in the longest amount of words possible. 10/10 would take again and recommend.

Class is based on 3 papers that are at least 5 pages and you watch 9 lecture videos for each paper. For the papers, you have to pick between 2 topics and then pick 2 terms. You basically have to write very detailed notes about the videos and then copy that into your essay. There is also a report based on the textbook that has to be 10 pages long.

Professor Lopez is a great instructor. His exams are essay-based, and if you take detailed notes during his lectures, you will have enough to write about and get an A. His lectures might be long, but they give lots of information that is useful for exams. Very easy class if you do the work. Especially for busy students. Definitely recommend!

He is great. Open notes test but very long easy 100 if you write word to word from his lecture its easy but lengthy. Great teacher good lectures. Just record his lectures on phone and watch YT on laptop and when it comes to exam just put headphones and write whatever he is saying. Ez A.

Professor Lopez was a great online teacher. He has all of the lectures uploaded and you watch them at your own pace. The tests are basically just essays over the lectures. As long as you write the information he says from his lectures you will do great in his class. His lectures can be long but they are important to take notes on.

He's an amazing teacher & tells people how to improve or could be missing from the essays that we write. You have to pay attention to what he says in the lectures, but he will answer any questions you may have. Work on essays ahead of time because it'll make it easier. Begging of the semester gives a lot of time for people to work on extra credit.

VERRRY lecture heavy. only 4 assignments, not including 3 extra credit works. Expect exams to be around 8-10 pages long. I recommend starting the exam immediately as it takes longer to complete. Pretty much take notes word for word, and you'll be fine for the exam. lectures are long and boring, but it's crucial you pay attention.

Just take really good notes and type word for word. Write at least 10 pages extra for everything. For study guide questions write at least a page for each question. I went to 20-30 pages on each of my essays. Extra credit is a lot of work, and i didnt do it. Don't wait till last minute for study guide questions. Not a bad teacher overall though.

Prof. Lopez was wonderful, and very kind. If you do not like lectures, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. This class is 100% lectures and exams are based 100% on lectures. However if you enjoy lectures I guarantee this will be the best US History class you will ever take. TAKE DETAILED NOTES. I would also recommend recording his lectures via audio.

3 exam essays, each requiring five 1.5 hour videos to watch on YT. Open word on one half of your computer, his vid on the other and play at x2 speed. Transcribe everything he says, you will get an A. One Q&A report based on a textbook which takes an hour to complete. You can finish his entire course in 1 day with an A if you shut your brain off

Pretty easy class but time-consuming, there are not a lot of assignments but they are extremely long. You will need to write more than 10 pages for each assignment but it is not hard at all. Just transcribe the whole lecture in your own words. All classes are not mandatory, gives a choice of which subjects to handle.

Professor Lopez only provides a few assignments, mostly essays, but the class is easy overall. Most of the time his class is lecture-based and taking many notes helps for the exams. Since we weren't allowed anything besides lecture notes on the exams, taking as many notes as possible to guide the essays was useful. He does ramble a lot.

So easy. i took the 5 week summer course last year. 3 essays, just copy what he says in his videos. it takes a while but you'll get a 100.

My grade was a 95 and i took the 5 week course Pros: everything in the lectures will be on the essays, so take good notes. like all the other reviews say on here, WRITE DOWN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. Cons: lectures are long. when i mean long, i mean LOONNGG. he just repeats himself over and over again. this sucked because i took the 5 week course.

It really wasn't that hard of a class. It was just crazy heavy lecture base but I would rather take that versus a super hard history class with a hard grader for a teacher. He is super specific, but you just have to be organized in order to set aside enough time to listen to all of his videos. Would take if you need the credit!

Provides excellent and clear lectures, and does a good job at avoiding bias and modern revisionism from himself and shutting down unhelpful comments from students. The syllabus is well written and followed by the professor. The course content is broken up into well defined sections and is easy to follow. Very responsive to properly written emails.

He was great! His lectures are very long yes, but he does a very good job at going over topics and you can tell he's very knowledgable. Take as many notes as you can because each exam is in essay form and only over the lectures. There are only 4 grades in his class, 3 exams and 1 study question report. He does also offer extra credit.

I enjoy history so I was able to stick through the lectures and take good notes, but if you don't take good notes on the lectures you are sure to not do well on the exams. The exams are long and time consuming, but if the notes you took are well explained then the exam information will be easy to find. Your grade will be dependent on these exams.

Simple and straight forward teaching style with his online work. Watch videos, take notes then write an essay. Class is very simple but time consuming. I believe anyone who takes this class can get an A if they put the time and effort into learning just be prepared to write long essays. Very understanding as well if problems occur.

I took him for Texas History. All writing-based: 3 exam essays and 1 study report. No quizzes/tests. YouTube lectures (1.5 hrs) must be transcribed word-for-word to do well on the exams—only lecture material allowed. Go beyond the minimum page count. Get the study report book early; it's hard to find. He's helpful and replies to emails quickly.

I took Mr Lopez 1301 over the summer in person for 5 weeks. We had class Monday-Thursday for 2 hours. The entire class was lecture based so as long as you take good notes you will be fine (Make sure not to miss any details). The Good note taking made the exams easy because we were allowed to do them at home. Write as much as possible 13 pages for A

it felt like i was reading a book. his lectures were very comprehensible esp because of his ability to deliver the information in an imaginative and engaging manner, even ones w heavy details. so, i highly recommend attending every lecture and taking lots of notes (as descriptive as possible) bc mine were literally the reason i aced all my exams.

Best history professor I've had. I got a 100 in all my assignments and didn't even have to take the final because of that. He's so understanding and such a great person overall. All you have to do is watch the lectures and take notes. The tests are open-note and accessible from day 1. I recommend you look at the tests before watching the lectures.

Dr. Alfonso Lopez is a great professor. His lectures are interesting and engaging. He's not a harsh grader AT ALL. I would find it hard to believe that some people didn't pass his class. Not only does he make tests available right at the beginning of the course, but he also has extra credit opportunities. I would give him 10 stars if I could.

If you genuinely try to watch his lectures & take detailed notes, you'll do well and learn, I suck at history & I got a 100 on every assignment. He's a bit repetitive and his lectures can be boring but if you pay attention he makes it kinda interesting. The downside it that there's sooooo much writing to do. If you hate essays don't take him lol.

I am shocked by the reviews! I've enjoyed this class and is a break from my intensive courses otherwise. Admittedly, his lectures are long and not particularly engaging - but as long as you take notes, easy A! Only assignments are essays for each module and a final report. Plug in your notes and you're done! Good note taking skills is essential!

If you enjoy video essays, then this class can probably work for you. Each week, you watch 2 videos covering each region's history and societal growth. Grades off 5 essays based on how well you could reiterate his notes. The textbook we didn't use until the end of the semester, so you can find it online and not waste $80.

I took his course this summer & enjoyed it b/c of the class format as it was easy to follow Exams were fun to do b/c they were always open notes, but I didn't like how the exams were long as they were split into 2 parts I didn't enjoy using textbook for course, but I needed it for the study questions report, so I still purchased textbook for course
