Very bad teacher. Fails to clearly explain some things and gets details wrong. Dont bother buying the book, he only uses material that he talked about. The tests were disgustingly easy though, they were mostly common sense questions. But dont expect to walk out with any useful knowledge.

Took him for both Intro to HUMN and Greek/Roman HUMN. Very helpful if you have any questions, he will always be willing to give further explanation, promptly answers e-mails, pretty fair about missing class if you have a valid reason. Intro class EASY!!! Greek class fairly easy if you have a bit of interest in History and study for essay tests.

He has little work so make sure you do good on them. He has extra credit, not a lot though. I mean he is not an easy a, but his lecture are the answer to his study guide and the test. Make sure you take good notes and you record him and study hard for the two test. he has 3 essay and 2 test. I end up with a low A because you still have to study har

Professor Fierro is the worst professor I've ever had. His lectures are boring but it's not really his fault, the topics are boring. He is also very picky when he grades papers and will nit pick and every single little thing on your paper all the way down to your work cited page. Textbook wasn't mandatory. 3 papers, midterm, final are only grades.

Professor Fierro is a good teacher. He lectures every class but they are interesting and he starts off with telling you about the news of the day which is usually funny. The only homework is 3 papers you have to write, but he gives you almost a month to do it and they are easy. Only tests are midterm and final. Easy A!

Solid Professor, literally like 3 writing assignments throughout the semester and ur midterm/final. An A is very doable, but he does tend to be a harsh grader on the papers. Hes very woke and his lectures are amazing. If you have a good class that participates it will be fun. Plus he lets you have 5 absences. Book is expensive though

I had to deal with taking this class online due to COVID but it was overall really easy. The textbook however is about 90 dollars and you would only use it once for an essay. Only had three assignments and they were all essays and he's an easy grader. Attendance is through discussions and it was overall really easy.

Easy professor, but with so few assignments your grade may flip at the last minute if you do poorly on even one exam, essay, or research paper. His feedback on essays is confusing and he's an incredibly harsh grader with no explanation on why points were taken off. Be careful, he doesn't round up grades, but good luck if you take his course.

I admire how Professor Fierro made me feel like I was back during the Golden Age era by sharing my thoughts of the Greeks & Roman's went through. He responds back in discussions to.

I like how Professor Fierro takes you back in time during the Greek and Roman era. Allowing students to voice their opinions in discussions as if we're in those times. You have two discussion do weekly as your assignments, the chapters quizzes,and 4 paper assignments, mid term and final exams. He's very active in discussion with feedback.

Professor Fierro is great! In class, he really knows how to thoroughly explain what he's teaching. He makes it easy for his students to understand the material by using modern day examples. He's very kind and funny, and his class is very interesting. I would 100% recommend taking his class. He doesn't assign much work either, just read the notes.

Good professor & responds fast. Theres only 3 papers, a midterm, and a final. The papers are spread out and you have a month to do them. Midterm and final consisted of MC, T/F, and typed responses. Every week theres 2 discussions for attendance (can have 5 absenses). Only 5 total things in gradebook though, so every assignment and point matters.

I took this class online and it was great. You have 2 weekly discussions which are straightforward. He likes to include a little bit of humor in his PowerPoints. There are 3 writing assignments for the entire class, each around 1000 words or so, and he gives extra credit for turning them in early, even if you turn them in the day before. TAKE HIM.

The lectures are a bit boring but he is funny and likes when students interact with him and the material. I recommend drinking coffee beforehand in order to not fall asleep.

Took this professor for Intro to Humanities and then Greek and Roman, which was a great decision. He welcomes you at the start of class, has very engaging lectures, and is very patient when you need something repeated or reexplained. I found the class very refreshing as he'd share interesting news from articles he found at the start of every class.

Reply on time. He is courteous with the students. I think that the weekly participation does not value: Said by himself, the participation has no evaluation, it only serves so that you are not removed from the section. I don't understand how you evaluate open questions in final exams. I would never take a course with him again.

There were only 3 assignments and 2 tests/quizes the entire semester, and he provides students with study guides that are IDENTICAL to the test, so it is basically a guaranteed A+.
