AWESOME!! VERY EASY!! NO REASON NOT TO GET AN A!!!
TAKING 1302 NEXT SEMETER WITH SAME TEACHER.
VERY EASY CLASS OUTLINE TO FOLLOW. YOU DO FOUR ESSAY'S & EXAMS THAT COME EXACTLY FROM THE REVIEW WITH NO TRICK QUESTIONS. GOT AN "A". I WILL TAKE 1302 WITH HIM.
Awsome instructor he keeps lecture interesting throughout the class.
Great teacher, easy easy tests. wont try to trick you at all. staright forward. if you are looking for a history teacher take mr. aguirre its an easy A
I took the internet course and he is such a great teacher. He always responded quickly to my e-mails. I would defiantly recommend him
Extremely helpful guy. However, it is hard to get him through email or phone, at least it was for me. But it's still worth it to take him. If you have problems or forget deadlines he will do whatever he can to still make it so you can pass with a good grade. Totally nice and funny too.

I never thought I could pass history moreless get an A out of this class. Excellent instructor
EASY "A" for this class if you are only taking this course as a requirement for your degree plan.
I think he has a very friendly character.
easy and funny
He is a GREAT TEACHER and very very helpful :)
Mr. Aguirre's History 1301 Telecourse is easy & simple. In the semster he gives 4 exams directly, directly from the Telecourse text along with 4 essays. It's impossible not to Ace this course. I'm taking 1302 with him. Excellent Instructor & Good-Looking!
He was a wonderful teacher, I would definately take his class again!
Mr. Aguirre is the best teacher ever! He is very understanding and willing to work with you no matter what your situation. I took him for both History courses and got an "A". It's impossible to not make an "A" in his class.
Mr.Aguirre is a GREAT teacher! I don't like history at all but he made it interesting and hella funny... I'm taking him again for 1301. Great choice!!!
Teacher is great. Easy tests as long you study notes that are given.
THIS TEACHER IS VERY HELPFULL AND ALLOWS SECOND CHANCE ON ESSAYS.
I LOVE THE MAN HE IS A GREAT AND HELPFUL TEACHER KEEP HIM AROUND FOREVER PALO ALTO COLLEGE.
very understanding, made learning easy
i loved him. he was a great professor. he kept us all interested. i'm taking him again.
By far the best History Professor I have ever encountered.
Highly recommended professor. Makes class interesting and shows a genuine interest in helping his students pass his class.
Best teacher ever!!!! Makes you want to do your work, very helpful and understanding. WOULD TAKE HIM AGAIN IN A HEART BEAT!!!
Mr. Aguirre is an awesome professor. If you fail his class you must be really dumb, you have 4 tests that includes your final. Tests are based on chapters which you can print the study guide online. His way of teaching is different but in a good way. You wont regret taking him easy A.
Study the study guides and youll pass the class. He made me want to go to class and listen to his "stories"
Took video course. Just watch dvd's @ home, read book, write a few essays, and go take exams (you can take all of them early & finish course early). He gives practice tests w/answers. Just study this before exams. Answers emails very quickly. Almost passed w/ a 100% 6 weeks early. If you don't pass w/an A, re-examin your study habits. Super Easy
Love Him. Great teacher. Made learning history lots of fun.
I really enjoyed taking his class. I am positive he is the best history teacher if you want an easy A. You also learn things. He always relates interesting storys to the class discussion. He gave us answers to all the test questions before the test. How sweet is that? no need to look them up in the book. no class on fridays at the end of semester:)
easy by far. fist online class and loved it a few essays and just do the packets and i finished a month early
I loved his class! He's not a boring speaker, he pretty much covers everything, so unless you miss a class you won't really read the book much, unless he says otherwise. There is no way you can't pass his class. I will most definitely be taking him again next semester.
awesome teacher!!! i earned an A and tend not to do good in history. Helps to interact during class. review questions are all on test(easy tests)read assigned stories in the book which are not bad(not long)HIGHLY recommend him if history is not your ideal subject.easy&helpful& always has a positive outgoing personality
Great instructor! Very funny! Learned so much in his class. Very easy to get an A in his class. We had a quiz on just about each chapter and had 4 exams. He gives a review so you know what questions will be on the quizzes and exams. I plan on taking him again next semester.
very good teacher
Very great teacherhe was funny and always gave out good info about the time eras.
took his class spring 2012. He's very good teacher. makes the history class very interesting with a lot of jokes.
Very funny guy keeps you interested with his stories instead of text
I took 1301 and 1302 online with him and got an A in both classes. He makes the class very easy to get an A, as long as you do the work. He responds quickly to emails, and gives you all the assignments up front with the deadlines for each, but you can choose to turn them in before and actually finish the class early.
If you attend class you'll make an A easily. Makes learning history fun and easy. Must take him.
He is a great teacher, and very funny. An easy A but you can actually learn something. He does tell many stories but they are interesting. I really recommend him!
Took 1301 as an online Summer class. Super easy. Would recommend taking his class online to everyone.
Great teacher, very funny, his study guides are the quizzes and exams. I highly recommend him.
He is an easy professor. I took his class online. He is very quick in gettng to your emails. His test always hve 50 questions and 1 page essay. Its an easy A. He even gives you extra credit if you turn it in early.
Mr. Aguirre is a great teacher. His class is very easy all you have to do are multiple choice questions and you have the answers in the book. The study guide that he gives you are exactly the same as the test. I would recommend this class if you want to get an easy A!!!
EXCELLENT CLASS FOR BUSY PEOPLE WITHOUT ALL THE FUSS AND BUSS OF TODAYS CLASSES.SIMPLY DO THE WORK AND TURN IT IN!!!
Mr. Aguirre is by far the coolest professor i've ever had. His tests are straight from the review and it's impossible to get anything worse then a B in his class. You really don't even need to go to class because your grade depends on your tests. Take his class and have a stress free History 1301. :)
Great professor. I took him for US HIstory I just this semester(Spring 2013). Very helpful and very understanding. I had personal things to take care of and was given online tests. If you goto class, print out your review handout, follow along, you will get an A+. If you get anything lower its because you didn't go or you really don't care.
Took him for 1301 in class and 1302 online. Amazing teacher! Makes class fun and very easy. Would definitely recommend!
I took this class online and it was very simple. There were only 4 tests and absolutely no assignments. The instructor was the best I've ever had as far as responding to questions and grading tests very quickly. I will definitely be taking another class by this professor.
Prof. Aguirre is an awesome teacher. Even though I wasn't interested in history before this class, I learned a lot with his course. Because he lets you go at your own pace, within reason, it is less stressful so the learning was more interesting.
AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME! All I can say, is that I highly recommend him. He would walk into class and greet us with such an enthusiasm like we were his first class of the day. Tests are easy (but need to study). Highly recommend him.
I LOVED this professor. His class was sooo easy. History is one of my favorite subjects and I loved learning from him. Guaranteed A as long as you make half an effort.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! He is nice, respectful, enthusiastic, and fun! I took him here and at tamusa. Made A's both times. I really enjoyed his lectures and took to history easily. I learned quite a bit as well. take him!
TAKE HIM! he is great
He's very easy! And he's funny so you'll like class. :]
Very good Professor. Mr Aguirre is always in a good mood not matter what day of the week is. As long as you go to class you'll be fine. He gives articles to read always make sure you read them becuase the next day of class he will give you a quiz. For the exams he will give you the answers for the review and as long as you study you'll pass.
This is the best history teacher you can take! He gives you answers to the test and goes over the answers with you. He gives quizzes of ten questions with short readings! very easy! You'd be a fool to take anyone else.
Loved his class!!!
Do everything he asks and you will pass, Mr. Aguirre makes history fun and interesting. He is the best teacher ever!
Mr. Aguirre class is not only easy but fun. And you learn.
Has great discussions in class. Homework is easy, you just have to do it. Very helpful and nice. Makes history fun and interesting.
Very good professor!! Would recommend him to anyone!! Made learning enjoyable, practical, and obtainable!
Great class! Came with a bonus a professor that has a passion for teaching history. Highly recommended.
Prof Aguirre is an indispensable asset to not only Palo Alto College but more importantly,to history itself! He is friendly and entertaining and connects with students and definitely KNOWS history. I strongly recommend Prof Aguirre to any student.
He's an AMAZING professor! Tests are pretty basic, nothing too complicated. Study guides basically gives you all the answers on the exam. Class is always entertaining and fun. :) Definitely would take again.
He is such a great professor that connects history and actual stories into his lectures. He is amazing and really has a passion in teaching history.
Probably one of the BEST Professors i've taken. you will need the book mostly for the test reviews he gives. gives a weekly quiz but as long as you read you'll pass with an A. readings aren't tough, long, or boring; Don't worry about getting overloaded with readings. lectures are great, a lot of good insight to history and everyday stuff in SA
Amazing teacher! i am taking him again for HIST 1301 :) this spring semester! TAKE HIM!!! i could listen to this professor all day long!
If you don't really have an interest in History, take his online class! The teacher responds quickly and offers only four exams that you can submit early for extra credit. The book does cover a lot, so you won't miss out, but it is an easy A!
Mr Aguirre is an amazing professor. I took a class in the classroom and via the internet and I will admit that I missed his lectures. He is a man with many life experiences that relate to the course. He truly cares about his students and their success not only in his class but overall. I would definitely take his class again.
He tells you exactly what to expect. The reviews are identical to the test and he usually goes over it before each test. Teaches you things not only about history, but about real life. Would definitely take again and again. And he's quite a jokester!!! He doesn't keep attendance but gives in class quiz and tests!
Mr Agurrie is wonderful and very understanding. He can get off subject a little bit but he makes it clear with what he's trying to say. He gives a lot of quizzes so read the articles he gives you. He will even give you just to make sure you read it the night before. He's an easy A!!! No make up on the quizzes but he will drop 2 of your lowest!!!
Mr. Aguirre was a great teacher would totally take his class again even though i don't needed.
I took him over the spring for US History 1301 and in the summer I took 1302 online telecourse. It was super easy, he gives out a lot of quizzes but as long as you show up to class everyday, read the assigned articles and never miss a quiz you will pass with an easy A . I would defiantly recommend to take him..
There are about twelve- 10 question quizzes throughout the semester, but he will drop 3 of them at the end of the semester. Don't miss class, because chances are there will be a quiz that day. Take notes of the lecture and pay attention to when he starts summarizing the lecture, because that means he is going to give a quiz. No textbook needed!
He's not clear during his lectures. He started talking about what was going to be on the test then it would turn into his personal life. Didn't learn much. I wouldn't take him.
easy, intresting class if you dont make an A you really didnt want to pass gives quiz almost every class but lets you know what will be on it sometimes even before its taken. he cares about his student i would take his class again even with his bad jokes ( laugh crying emoji )
A great teacher and a fine person!
Great Teacher, I definitely recommend him.
Mr Aguirre is THE BEST History teacher, and one of the greatest teachers you can have! I wish he could everything so I could take each class! His class is super easy to pass, all you have to do is listen to his lectures and turn in each take home quiz. He has many stories that he says during each lecture that will make you keep you entertained(:
Taking this class will totally be one of the best decisions you take in college. Easy A where youll learn quite a lot if you actually pay attention.
Mr. Aguirre is a great professor, you will not regret taking him! Readings are posted online so you will not need the book. Quizzes are only 10-15 questions long and are directly from the reading.
Prof. Aguirre is a respected man with a lot of life experiences. His lectures about life experience tie into his history lectures. Beware of "pop quizzes" if no class participation. I loathe history and he definitely made class more interesting. Not a tough grader either.
Easy Easy Easy! Miss class and you have chance that they would be a quiz and gives no makeup day!
I took professor Aguirre for both History 1301 & 1302 he is the BEST I always telling great storys that help you remember what you will need to know on the test no matter what you will pass as long as you show up and try if you have a difficulty let him know hes very understanding
Mr. Aguirre is really an awsome teacher . He is funny, tells interesting life stories, talks about history events that are memorable, and easy to remember. If you don't ask questions and participate, he will give you a pop quiz. Reading is a must ! Words of advice. BE ON TIME, DON'T MISS SCHEDULED CLASSES, PARTICIPATE, ASK ALOT OF QUESTIONS!
Aguirre is a funny professor and tells alot of life stories which doesnt make his class boring but he does ramble alot and his lectures arent clear. Although, as long as the class participates and ask alot of questions he wont be hard on you regarding test and quizzes. You do need to attend class to pass bc again, he is very random on his lectures.
He is a really good professor, his work is easy and he is really funny and likes to make jokes. He dose give a lot of quizzes but if you keep him talking sometimes you don't have to take them. He's real chill as long and you're not disrespectful while he's doing a lecture.
If you dont pass this class, youre not trying. His tests, are his reviews. He does his reviews in class while going over the chapters. If you ask for the answer to a question, he will give it to you with an explanation behind it. Im currently taking him for 1301 and will be definitely be taking him next semester. Hes amazing!!
Fantastic! I always came to class ready to laugh. Aguirre is an awesome teacher and would like to have him again.
Great teacher! Gets off track a lot with his life stories but his reviews are his test so just study and you will pass with an A.
Aguirre was a great teacher and his lectures we very entertaining. He would tell a personal story that would tie to the lesson. I would definitely recommend taking his class. If you do not show up to class and read the articles he posts, you will not pass his class. He also does not believe in extra credit so do great on your quizzes and tests.
One of my favorite teachers.
Super nice and easy professor and class. He would come into class and talk about his life, and sometimes he would connect it to the lessons. The tests were the only assignments he had, and he provided study guides on his canvas, all the answers were on quizlet. Very sweet man, I would take his class again.
Mr. Aguirre is a great instructor! He does get distracted at times but he knows what he´s doing. You do have to read a lot, and there is a lot of homework but as long as you read the material, you´ll get by with no worries. He does give out surprise quizzes at times, but that´s only when the class isn´t paying attention. Participation matters!
he won't give you extra credit! he doesn't add the grades to the grade book, so you basically have to figure it out on your own. over all, he's a good teacher!
He's a pencil/paper kind of professor. He provides a syllabus for you on the first day of class, and it will have a page for you to keep track of your quiz/exam grades. His lectures are amazing, being that he gets on a personal level! If class is involved, that's how you can avoid quizzes. Quizlet is really helpful for his 1302 course. Take him!!!
Good afternoooon. Mr. Aguirre is such an honest/caring man. All of his readings are provided under a files tab in canvas, and theyre not long at all. He does do random quizzes if he feels the class isnt engaged or participating, but hes just one of those people that you just cant help but to be tuned into what hes talking about. Take him! :)
One of the best teachers! Super nice and caring, class is simple as long as you do whats assigned to you. Would recommend to anyone!
Hes very chill and understanding, gives out a moderate amount of homework but easy to do with the material. Amazing professor.
OMG! I absolutely loved this class he was hands down the best professor i had this semester. He was such a great guy he was willing to actually teach and help us if we always needed it. Professor Aguirre doesnt require a textbook but he require you to participate and ask questions. This was an outstanding class take him if you can.
if you want an easy history professor, this is the one. I took him for 1301 and 1302 before covid and online an he's the best and understanding. doesn't give homework. he only gives quizzes/tests. he'll rarely give you assignments but if he does, its SUPER EASY and sometimes gives you videos to watch that are easy as well. very well respected man.
While I don't dislike an Instructor lecturing and handing out articles and quizzes, Mr. Aguirre was probably the worst teacher I have had so far. He does not communicate about quizzes, tests and any major work we have to do and his tests are the most confusing. He does not follow through with his word either and I do not respect dishonesty.
Mr. Aguirre was the best teacher I've had at PAC. He quickly went over the lectures, so you should pay attention when he teaches. After he's done, we all casually talked & he let us leave early if there wasn't much to talk about. I took him for 1301 + 1302 and it's been two years since I've had him, but I miss his class. Very easy going & simple.
Mr. Aguirre was the best teacher I've ever had. He quickly taught lectures & most pop quizzes he gave us weren't really graded & also had answers for tests. All you had to do was just study the answers & then you'd be ready for the test. He was very kind + told funny stories to the class. Recommend him to anyone that is bad at group work like me.
