doesn't give extra credits, has to read in-depth for his exams

Very passionate about the subject. The tests are hard. You will know the content, if you do well on the tests. Could use time more effectively, but overall good experience!

I took the DL course. Study exactly what he says to study on the reviews, and you'll walk away with a good grade.

Distance Learning Class, Get his video and go to review. You will then do well. If you study just the book you will not do well.

He is passionate about the subject and knows what he teaching. I did not buy the book and I got Bs on the test. Just come to class and take notes. You can use a page of notes on the test. He is funny and relates thing of today with his teachings.

Not the easiest class out there, but I wanted to learn US history and I got a full load of it. He knows his stuff cold and presents it with passion. If you are looking for a GE prolly not the easiest way to go, but if you are keen to learn then take him

One of my favorite teachers at De Anza. His exams are hard, and sometimes he comes late to classes (or doesn't show up at all.) But he makes the subject interesting. You really learn a lot from him. As for the exams, just go to the review sessions.

This class was very fun, and he taught it very good! I enjoyed it!

Great Teacher. Class was easy and I actually remember stuff in that class. I'm taking him over for HIST 17C.

Great teacher. He taught us a lot about Latin America. Have to study for the exams.Gave us the study guide for the exam. Showed very intersting movies. Gave help to the students with papers. Not at all boring. Planning to take other classes he teaches.

Excellent teacher. He has plenty of knowledge about Latin America. His exams are not bad. Gives you study guide. If you need help, just meet him after the class. You have to study and read the material.s If you don't understand something, he goe sover it. Take him. He is one of the best in De anza.

Great teacher. If you are committed to learning, he is there to help you. He is very knowledgable. His exams are little hard and you have to study. You learn a lot about Cuba from his personal experience. Great teacher. take him. Learn all bout our neighbours. He helps you with essays and exams too.

A really good teachers likes to help, and if your in class everday u wont fail the worst grade u can get is a C if you show up. shows a lot of movies and no homework ever. exams are not hard if you do the reading and study.

Very exciting. I hate history and he made it fun. His tests can be kinda hard, but he helps you out with getting an A. You do have to read a boring book, but I read only the first 5 pages and still passed the class with an A. He's very relaxed and care free about the essays you do. Great teacher!

Hes a lot of fun and sometimes inpersonates the person were reading about. hes test are tough and you watcha lot of movies..boring but educational. i dont remember him giving out hw, just sheets to study from. just read and study (like any other class) and youll pass! :)

MAN THIS MAN KNOWS HIS HISTORY YET HE GOES WAY OFF TOPIC SOMETIMES THIS QUARTER WE MISS ALOT CAUSE OF HIS WASTE OF TIME. THE FIRST EXAM WAS TOO LONG AND PRETTY HARD**** THAT WE DIDNT COVER. BUT HE DROPS UR LOWEST EXAM AN GIVES EXTRA POINTS TO UR EXAM. SHOWS ALOT OF VIDEOS. FOR THE SECOND EXAM HE GAVE MOST ANSWERS AND FINAL WAS VERY EASY TAKE HIM.

This guy knows what he's talking about and is very good at getting his point across (even if it takes an Off Topic analogy!). Drops lowest test and papers are easy, definitely recommend him! Got an A, no probs.

Great teacher.

Mr Mujal definitely knows his material, but does not always teach it in class. He is a fun professor and his classes are amusing. He helps out with exam questions in advance, because his exams are touch and a very unusual style of questions. He is a generous grader and makes you laugh in class.

No Comments

he's a cool teacher... he doesn't check attendances.... you just need to read the book and show up during his exams...... he's funny and nice.....

I took his class on line. He is very good. You have to show up only 3times. He does not ask any questions on the movies. I di not even watch more than 2 movies. You just study the book and you get As. It is a very easy class. His exams are very easy. Take him. Good luck.

The man is a walking textbook. So skilled and knowledgable, yet, he does not overwhelm students. He relises that (in general) students find history to be boring. So he emphasized key concepts rather than facts/dates. More of a conceptual history class. Yet, he does not sugar coat and students feel as if they are getting the 'real'story.

This guy is awesome.. he is soo knowledgable and isnt boring at all. However, the only downside i would say is that he showed us a lot of videos almost every day of the class towards the end of the quarter. His lectures are very easy to follow, although you might have to ask him to slow down a bit. Thats the only problem i had.

Great teacher. He actually knows what he is talking about and is one of the few teachers who don't make tests a "memorizing contest". All you have to do is read the Chapters and take good notes on the book and the lectures. Awesome guy :)

mujal is a great guy. he starts a topic and relates it to movies a lot. shows a video pretty much every week. missed most of classes, got c's and d's on exams, but still ended up w/ a b! he drops ur lowest grade on an exam. just do ur 2 essays he assigns for ur take home final!

He is the nicest teacher ever! He is very relaxed, and lectures from the book. He writes stuff on the board, so you can take good notes. He also allows notes on the tests, which makes the tests easy as long as you pay attention in class. He is very entertaining. He knows how to get the students attention.

great teacher. was always late, quirky attitude, tied a lot of movies into lectures. we had endless notes on the two tests we had for the summer, and he gave us the answers to half the test on the final! EASY CLASS, i have NOT had an easier teacher in college. EASIEST A EVER. just read the book 2-3x before the test and you're fine. seriously.

great teacher.

Very laid back, you don't really even need to attend. All tests are multiple choice, open-note. Lots of videos, the handouts and class notes are very well organized. If you don't get an A, bottom line: you just never took the tests.

Lots of movies, no hw or attendance, just an essay and 4 tests (multiple choice). For the tests you just have to read the book or come to class, but DO study. I learned a lot of interesting stuff. He tells a lot of jokes and stories but hes good at explaining things and doesn't make you look stupid for asking questions

Easy class. Tests are open notes. He drop the lowest ones. You only have to read 3 short novels and write 2 papers at the end. There's no final exam either.

great teacher, interested in what he is talking about, lectures were interesting. tests are pretty easy if you read or pay attention in class, watch a lot of relevant videos to subject material, you should take this class, yes im talking to you.

Best professor ever. Sure his lectures may go off course, but I learn so much from them. I learn much more than I ever would from most other teachers. 3 tests, 2 final essays, thats it. Show up, if you want (no attendance records) and you'll be perfectly fine. Plus theres movies.

3 exams all of which are open notes. He'll even add about 15 points to the exam. 2 essays due the day of final. But they are assigned in the beginning of the quarter. His lectures are sooo FREAKIN AMAZING... relates history into our future of whats about to come. Thats the only thing he goes off topic about. Take him. I took him twice. He so

I thoroughly enjoyed this class, he's a good prof. The notes are a little unclear and the tests are pretty tough, but he adds like 20 points to improve your scores. There's two papers you have to write, one critical analysis of a book and the other on the Cold War. Even though it was a good class, he doesn't seem to give out too many A's.

I took the telacourse. You read 3-4 chps before each test. There are only 3 tests and the review videos from the media lab really helped!! Easy mult choice tests are easy if you remember what you read and watch the review tapes. Downside, a lot of reading.

Very interesting. Talked alot and sometimes talked too much so we dont take the quiz (but not boring talking). But alot of quiz's, but easy if you read chapter (all factual based) quite a few movies. If find out when quiz's are, dont need to attend.

Great Teacher. Easy class if you pay attention to the lectures. Lets you use notes on the tests so just take good notes and you will be fine.

He's a storyteller...talked in accents, yelled at the top of his lungs, fun to listen to. Went on tangents a lot, but they were interesting. Notes are unclear, scribbles all over the bored. 2 papers, 4pgs. ea. on a book, and then on a war. Gives 15 extra pts. on each of his 3 tests which are a little hard = Read your book and u'll do fine.

Carlos Mujal is one of the BEST professors at De Anza! He loves history and it comes through in his story telling lectures. He is CRAZY smart and he often does go on tangents, but they are VERY interesting and funny. His exams are open notes, and take home papers for final. Read the book for his review terms, take good notes, and you will be fine.

Cool guy with a really offbeat sense of humor. You won't be bored during his lectures. Take lots of notes from the reading (not the lectures, which are fun but don't give you as much info for the test) - tests are open-notes, but they can still be tough.

Mujal is a great teacher, the only downside of his class is that his tests are hard, really hard,if it wasnt for him boosting your grade one letter grade for every test, everyone would be screwed,i was really not looking forward to his class, but now that im done i realize what a great teacher he is, if you just want an easy A take Professor Kline

Carlos is a great teacher and he is fun in class and makes history enjoyable i very much recommend this reacher.

Best History Teacher I Have Ever Had!

Okay, so he does get off topic, but he really makes the subject more of a dream than a snooze. He's hilarious, helpful, and informative. The tests are too hard in my opinion, but make sure to show up to class -- he'll give you some hints in the material review.

Prof. Mujal is awesome, he is si laid back! He does go off topic but that only makes the class even more interesting. He is hilarious and very informative, attendance is not mandatory and his exams and essays are super easy, He is one of the most laid back teacher at De Anza. Take him!

He is a great teacher & has a diff.way of teaching. Whether it be simply lecturing off of his exams, to showing interesting videos, to telling interesting stories that usually gets everyone laughing or interested. I've taken 2 of his classes and redid one of them and loved it every time. Read the book and you'll do fine. OPEN NOTE EXAMS!

Very helpful, understanding, willing to listen to the students. Top shelf teacher!

I've taken Carlos's class a couple times at de anza college he is one of my favorite instructors great class love the way he teaches, he lets you use notes on tests plus he adds points and you have to do two papers, piece of cake if you fail this class then you dont belong in college.

mujal is really fascinating, his lectures are really easy to understand and he has a fun and interesting personality while teaching. I think one of my favorite teachers @ de anza. Take his mod. latin american history class

carlos is a fasinating teacher, i have had him for about 2x so far and willing to take another course with him. he acts out scenes from history, hes funny, you learn alot, and hes easy, any one complaining about carlos maybe got but hurt because he jokes alot w/students or didnt get that a n got a minus instead. very good teacher.

nice and very helpful!

I've taken 6 of his classes now so I know his style pretty well. I'd only rate 3 teachers, and Mujal is one of them. He is a GREAT teacher. His tests are easy, his lectures entertaining, and his movies fun. Attendance is not mandatory, and he's happy to help. Each class has about 3 multiple choice exams and an easy essay for the final.

if you fail this course than you dont belong in school. 3 tests, 2 essays. you can use notes, and he boosts ur grade by kicking in a few points for all your tests.

if hes such a bad teacher than why does his classes get filled every quarter on registration date while the other teachers are still open at double degits.

He is super easy! Doesn't care about attendence. His class consisted of a midterm, a final and an essay. You can use notes on the tests. He gave a study guide which had EXACTLY what you had to study/raed. He would also give us answers to the first 30 questions on every test! Lectures were entertaining and he was def not boring Take him for an A.

He is very knowledgeable, but can go off topic a lot during his lectures, and he's funny too. Will talk for hours on end if he could. His test were hard, and I didn't read the book once. I thought I was going to fail his class, ended up getting an A. Just go to the tests and write the papers and your set.

Mujal graduated from Berkeley with a PhD in history. He knows his stuff, is hilarious and laid back. He is way too easy however, so I hope he goes harder on students in the future. His exams are so easy the seriously should be illegal lol. I nevertheless learned a lot from the man and I liked taking his colonial latin american hist class.

He is a very smart and funny guy, and knows his stuff. The only assignments he ever assigned were 2 papers, which he tells you in the beginning of the quarter. As long as you take his notes, especially his review days, you should pass easily.

Perhaps one of the BEST history lecture prof's (IMO) in De Anza. Let's just say he knows it all. Tests are easy, just take notes and you're in the go for an A. Notes for test are acceptable.

Mujal's lectures were kind of entertaining. They did not take place everyday though. Sometimes he would just show films for the whole class for a couple of days. He did a lot of last minute lecturing, just in time for the test. The material that was discussed in class was barely on the test. His tests were extremely tricky.

3 exams (scantron). take home final (basically just an essay). Book report due at day of final. allows notes on tests, also reviews for a day or two before each test. usually came late to class. gets off track, but not too bad. Says some pretty funny stuff. all in all, good lectures, easy tests, doesnt play favs, is pretty clear.

This guy comes to class 10-15 minutes late constantly(which is just terrible if you have a 50 minute class..) with his bike and he looks baked while he's riding it. As for wits Mujal has them, but is quite unstructured. He doesn't follow his syllabus at all, which could be a good or bad thing. Study at home and you can pass.

I took all of Mujal's history courses. Like someone else previously stated, he has his Ph.D in History From UC Berkeley. Children who just got out of High School come in take his class and act like their at Harvard when his history is legit, yes he does come in late but oh well. This is as easy as it gets for getting your GE grade.

Mujal is a great guy. He wants his students to do well in his class. Yea, he comes late but he loves teaching history and it's fun to come every day. Plus if you take notes carefully you will ace the tests. Open note tests and multiple choice final

SUPER cool dude! gives out study guides that contain everything you need to know for the exams. 3 exams - which he curves VERY generously. you would have to be a stupid idiot not to pass this class with a GREAT grade. one book analysis which is not so bad with the info sheet he gives, and one final essay which is EASY. TAKE HIM YOU WONT REGRET IT!

He doesn't take attendance but sometimes his quizzes are based on information you learn from the prior week. He's not the easiest teacher but teaches concepts clearly (when he actually talks about them) The majority of what you actually learn in class may not be on the quiz at all. For the final we had to read a terrible book and do an analysis.

Great teacher, tends to ramble a lot but you can tell he loves what he's teaching. Yes he allows notes on the test and even will gie you the answers to a majority of the test on the review date, but it's deffinitely worth going to class to listen to the lectures. Very entertining.

I'm taking 2 of his classes and I really enjoy his class. He does have us watch movies frequently but if you go to the in class review and add notes to the study guide you should do fine.

Carlos is one of the most intelligent professors I have had. He makes history fun and relevant. Listen and you will learn about more than history.

super duper easy A and nice! i took his off campus class and there were only 3 open notes tests and 1 take home midterm plus 1 take home final. really enjoy the lectures cause we were just sitting in the cinema watching videos.

I took as many classes as I could with him. He is hilarious, gets off topic every now and then but who doesn't? The class is really what YOU make of it. If you go to clas, take good notes you'll do great in the class. Final is a take home essay (pretty easy final). You also have to do a book review, but that is easy. I HIGHLY recommend him!!

He is the most interesting professor I ever had in my life. In his class you will learn some life-relevant material not a whole bunch or educational BS. If you want to learn about history and have fun than take his class.

I am signed up to take a 3rd class with him. He goes off topic a lot, but has interesting things to say. Tests are open notes, so if you go to class everyday and take notes you should be set. For one of his classes I did have to read the textbook but for the 2nd one. The essays at the end are a pain, but overall a very easy class and you will learn

Great Professor! He teaches in a different way that will make you listen & understand. He does go off topic from time to time but why not? It helps keeps you awake for the whole class. He likes playing videos and tests are open notes, take home final, and two essays on two books you're supposed to read. Easy class if you are not majoring in History

If you need to take a class for the sake of GE's, take this one. It's extremely easy. He knows he doesn't prepare his students well during "lectures" so many times before the test, he will give away half of his questions on the test. Got to use notes, too. Didn't take anything from it, though. . .

Mujal's class is very straight forward given you do the work. Read one chapter a week (seriously, ONE chapter, how easier can it get?) from both books. That's it! Then my advice is to outline the chapters from the textbook because the tests are ALL based on the book. Nothing tricky about them. Read the book, study, get an A. Easy!

Excellent instructor who really makes his class interesting. This man has forgotten more about history than most people ever knew. Recommended.

Very knowledgeable professor who keeps class and lectures very interesting. A bit unorganized and does not cover all material in class. It is necessary to get the textbook and read every chapter that will be on test. Questions on test will be from textbook. Gives study guides for each test and open note tests.

Definitely take this class if you need to get your history req. out of the way. He is a little unorganized but the tests are open notes. There are 3 exams, 1 report on Uncle Tom's Cabin, and a written final. I highly recommend this class.

Excellent historian and teacher, another of De Anza's top teachers. Class is very entertaining and detailed. This school has a pretty good history department. Attend, take real good notes and tests will be easy. Recommended.

My favorite teacher! Love his class & it was pretty easy. Going to take him for US HISTORY!

Class is easy. We really didn't us the textbook but we used the the small reading books. We had 3 test and a final consisted of two papers(EASY). Test are OPEN NOTES, OPEN NOTES from the class notes taken so that means no textbook can be used!!! Reviewed for each test every time.

Professor Mujal is a very smart and intelligent person, but when it comes to class lecturing it is often off topic. If you ask for help he will give it to you but you need to be willing to put in the time and the effort into studying on your own to pass.

He's a great guy; not perfect, but his pros outweigh the cons. He knows his stuff super well. His lectures are bound to go off-topic, but for me they were pretty interesting and fun to listen to. His test questions come mostly from lecture but you have to read to know everything. (Notes are a must) Test questions are critical thinking. -Recommend-

He is an awesome wise Professor. His lectures are rarely about the actual class material. However his teachings do serve some value to life in general, in other words, he goes off topic 80% of the time but it is always something interesting that is worth listening to. 3 tests, 2 essays. Reading and self-teach is required pretty much.

HIS ONLINE CLASS IS SO EASY AND THIS IS COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T REALLY STUDY AT ALL TWO TESTS AND YOU HAVE TO GET 100% ON THE HW BC YOU JUST KEEP GOING AND ONLY TWO TESTS WHICH ARE EASY TOO

First thing, there are two VERY important papers due at the end of the quarter making up 40% of your grade. Besides that, his test are easy so long as you pay attention to his lectures. He has notes posted on the board so be sure to take a picture whenever you can and study from it. But again, the hardest part about the class was the papers.

Super entertaining dude, recommend if you aren't normal that interested in history because he makes it very interesting. If you read the text and take lecture notes you will do absolutely fine in the class. He is pretty understanding and seems to genuinely care about his students. He can be a little bit disorganized but it doesn't affect anything.

My favorite teacher ever. FINALLY a teacher that isn't brainwashing us. He provides BOTH side's views in terms of politics. The people that say his class is hard probably don't go. His tests are literally straight from his lectures. Even when he goes off topic, if you are really listening, it connects. He is such a kind guy and I just love him

Took 17C, Never liked History but he made it interesting and relatable.

Latin American history is a subject I always wanted to take. The instructor got in-depth with the stuff but he also made it interesting and related it to the world we live in. I would seriously recommend him to others. he made sure to cover all the material we were tested on, which I appreciated.

Took him for History 17C. It was not an on line course. He really knew his material and made it interesting. It was the first history class I really enjoyed. I also appreciated his feedback and the fact that he cared. The tests were not too hard.

honestly just a great teacher who is very knowledgable on what he is teaching! would highly reccomend!

He was a great lecturer and makes sure you know where the grades are coming from. Could be better at responding to e-mails, but I really liked the assignments and the way he looks at history. I learned more in this class than any other history class I have taken. No disappointments here.

Took an on-campus class from him. No regrets. Syllabus was clear and I knew what I needed to do to get an A - which I got. he is very helpful but the best time to speak with him is right after class if you need help on what the next exam is going to be like. He cares about what he teaches and takes the time to make sure you know the material

Had a hard time at first but once I got into the rhythm of the class , it was one of the best classes I have taken. Sometimes he gets off topic but he brings it back to what he was lecturin on and what we were reading. I would definitely recommend him. Just make sure to do the readings and turn in the last two essays on time.

Lectures are awesome, Test are recycled. I promise you wont regret taking his class. hes a very intellegent professor and youll even learn a little bit extra about society.

He is a good professor, I like his lecture style! Kind of free in his class. Sometimes he talks too much on one topic but it's interesting.

The most underrated teacher. Professor Mujal made every class enjoyable and interesting. His grading format was clear and his knowledge for the subject seems to be never ending. Id recommend him for everyone in need of taking a history course or interested in the subject.

Take this class if you just need your credits and don't care to learn. The homework is comparable to the worksheets we used to get in middle school history classes. Never communicated with him during the course and didn't really need to. Everything is self-explanatory.

Hell teach by lecture, but will often show a video if he doesnt take up the time talking too much. Take notes on lectures and book and test are easy. Will say he often relates things to now so if you arent really listening it will sound like he is just going off topic. You should get an A! The only way to fail is by actively choosing to!

Prof. Mujal gives great lectures and has a passion for history, the course is very easy and he doesn't expect students to be experts. Grades are based mostly on two essays and quizzes from each chapter of the assigned textbook. Quizzes are open note so receiving an A on a quiz is pretty easy and he's an easy grader on the essays.

Dr. Mujal makes history fun to learn because he relates the past to the present. Although he can be excessively tangential, the work is not difficult and the lectures present the information in an albeit semi-disorganized but appropriate manner. He has very clear grading criteria and the work is all reading. You have to read and take notes to pass.

Solid choice for any of his History classes. This is college, stop moaning about reading but for real though it helps with understanding his lectures. Show up to class, take notes, read and it's a solid A for tests/essays. Gives you life and history lessons.

Super entertaining teacher. Spends entire period speaking or showing videos. Just take notes during class, and you'll be great! Notes are allowed on the tests. Only 3 tests and 2 papers. The papers are due on finals' day. He gives you plenty of time to get started on the papers from home. He's very responsive to questions during lectures.

I took this history class and I do not regret it at all! Im a student that likes to learn at my own pace so if you are too then this is the class for you! There are no zoom meetings. He does assign a lot of assignments on Macmillan learning but theyre easy! I did all of them in two days. Exams are easy as well! Easy A if you do the work.

He is the real deal. No essays are required. 1/3 of your grade is from assignments and quizzes (all MCQ). 1/3 of your grade is from the 2 tests (all MCQ). Most of the test questions are from the assignments and quizzes. NO FINAL EXAM. 1/3 of your grade depends on the professor. Just read the textbooks from MacMillian and take notes. Easy A.

2 140 questions exam to be done in 2 hrs (8-10pm). A little inconvenient time for exams but all assignments are done on Macmillan which means they are available from the very first day of class. I was able to do evrything in the first weeks of the quarter & just waited for the exams. Easy class for gen ed. You want more engagement, pick diff prof.

Organize your time as you'll be reading a lot and completing assignments via MacMillian. 2 hr exams for 140 questions midterm and 115 question final exam in the late evening. Would've gotten a higher grade if I done the work earlier, otherwise a great professor who challenges you, definitely will be taking again for other history courses.

this class was good imo. PROS - homework assignments are just there plain and sample can pretty much get them done a few days. you can find all the answers on quizlet your welcome people. CONS - there's 2 exams (Midterm and Final) that are 140-144 questions from 8PM-10PM on day of exam. but yeah if you just want an easy A, hop on board

This guy is goated

Relatively easy class to get the grade you want but it all relies on doing the work. The exams are pretty much like the questions from homework and he is a very kind professor. Only thing not really graded till last minute are the discussion posts but even then they are not heavily criticized either.
