The class discussions were fabulous and he was fabulous. Everyone in class secretly fantasized about him, what a cutie! The case studies we did were very interesting and the readings, with the exception of Captain Cook nonsense, were great! All in all he's like a toostie pop, hard on the outside, chewy and soft on the inside.

One of the best history classes I have taken. I don't know how someone could hate it, they are all fools.

brillant professor, i loved watching him teach...the class was interesting and i learned A LOT! 5 moderately easy quizzes, a easy presentation/paper, and a final paper instead of a final exam. Plus he totally has the brillant older man sexiness.

Prof Pincince works it!! If you don't understand what's going on just go chat with him during office hours. He lived in India for a while and speaks a bunch of languages, very nice! He's dreamy, too, which is just the icing on the cake for you guys and gals. Go to class, read the material, and just listen. International Studies Majors Unite!

I loved this guy! Kind of snide, kind of sarcastic, but kind of sexy, too. He's very smart and knows his stuff. Class was funny because he would talk about random stuff. He's been all over and should get tenure at Loyola! You can't be lazy in this class. Take him, if you don't I will, again!

nice and knowledgeable. this class isn't easy, but once you get the routine down it lightens up a bit. too much reading, and very difficult readings at the beginning (but he repented). he's accommodating and willing to help but overly packed and somewhat disorganized lectures make it better to just use the study guide to know what to study.

Prof. Pincince is great. I learned so much in this class. He is really intimidating at first and gives a "wall of text" lecture to scare off a good 3/4's of the class on the first day. He just wants to teach to a group of 15, not 40. 6 Critical Reviews, no tests. The class went out to dinner on the last day. I plan on seeing him at Pitchfork.

He is so sarcastically funny! He is a great professor, knows his stuff; however, he is easy to lose because he is sort of monotoned. The class is easy, no papers, periodical quizzes (he warns you), a midterm and final. Good looking and funny!

Good class. Can be a bit monotonous when speaking, but he cleary outlines the course and he's very easy to follow. Very sarcastic and it keeps class interesting. Would definitely take him again.

no comments.

I had him for South Asian History and retook him again for History 299. The reasons why: he's sexy and is so cute during his disheveled lectures, he's intellectually engaging, funny and entertaining, and most of all I leaned alot from his lectures. He emphasizes students to look at history in a non-tradtional way.

The post below is creepy and he's not hot but a good prof overall. Had him for 104, He really finds himself witty and sometimes he's funny but not nearly as much as he thinks. 2 map quizes, weekly quizes (usually announced but sometimes tricky), a midterm and a final. No papers or anything but you do need to learn all of the terms. take this class.

Great professor; clearly knows his stuff. Quirky and fun. Weekly "pop" quizzes that are on terms he gives you beforehand. Need to read the textbook to understand the terms, but not much in depth reading is required. Semi-tough grader on essays on the midterm, but overall it is an easy class. Take it!

Quiz every week (supposed to be pop, but he tells you when they are). The quiz questions come straight from the terms from the previous class's topic, but sometimes they will be specific dates that no one knows. Good teacher, fair grader.. but you're going to be making a lot of note-cards to memorize those terms.

Loved him! So funny. He makes the class seem hard at first but its really not. just take good notes and dont miss class. He will get angry if you don't read the texts though.

LOVE JP! he made class fun, and really engaged the class. He had zero organization skills, and never used powerpoints for anything other than showing pictures of his dog, but his quizzes followed exactly what you learned in class and the exams required studying but they weren't terrible. i definitely have a major crush on him

JP is SOOOOOO HOT! He's a great teacher, super fun & funny, & you better get used to him saying "at any rate"- it's hilarious! he's super cool and very helpful and tells you before quizzes, his class is fun so not easy to blow off plus, did i mention he's a hottie?

I had JP for HIST 299 last year and had him for INTS 101 this year. He is extremely smart and really has a great sense of humor once you get to know him. Not an easy A, but if you do the reading and pay attention an A is definitely achievable. Just go to his office if you feel like you have trouble; he's extremely smart and very dedicated.

It was his first time teaching this course, but the direction of this course was unclear. There's a lot of tedious reading, about 100 pages a week, and you must do them in order to earn participation points. However, he is not a difficult grader

You gotta put some work in, but he even said his class is a doable A-/A. Makes lecture interesting, map quizzes, announces "pop" quizzes but gives 11 questions and grades 10.

I absolutely LOVED John. He has among the most the most interesting professors I have ever taken. He is difficult, but if you do the work you will be fine. He singles people out who he knows are not paying attention (and for obvious reasons!) He is very willing to help if you just contact him.

For someone who particularly doesn't like history, I enjoyed this class. John is an adorable guy and has a sarcastic sense of humor thats entertaining. You have to read the text book, and must prepare for the essay finals but overall the class is very reasonable. Take this class!

Dr. P. is the best professor I have experienced here at Loyola. He has a very good sense of humor and he is always available if you have questions. I highly recommend his class. You, however will have to do work, but you will learn a great deal at the end.

Funniest professor I've ever had. His quizzes and tests are also fairly easy. There's a fair bit of reading but it's doable. However, you can't BS the readings, because his lectures are kind of all over the place and I don't think they really help much on quizzes/exams. He also tends to go off on a tangent occasionally, but it's all good.

Definitely take this Professor! John is the best. Quizzes every Friday, a midterm, a few map quizzes, and a final. The quizzes are easy if you read. Study guides and the essa question is given for midterm and final, as well as map quizzes. He tends to go over what will be on the quizzes in class as well. Participate and you'll definitely get an A.

sarcastic but great!

Dr. Pincince is an amazing professor, but honestly misunderstood. He seems very intimidating at the beginning, but he is hilariously sarcastic and extremely intelligent. He knows what he's talking about, and if you do the work you'll be fine. I got a 98% in the class, if you work hard it's fine. He really wants students to do well.

TAKE HIM. Pop quizzes every thursday, he lets you know when there will be one. He has study guides for every quiz. Participation is a must. Quizzes, Midterm and a Final. IF you study the study guides for the quizzes you will get an Easy A. He is kind of strange but overall nice guy. Definitely recommend

Prof. Pincince is really funny. He has a really interesting since of humor. He gives quizzes every Friday (for MWF class) and they're five points- he'll drop the lowest 3. It's easy to get an A as long as you do the readings. He gives really good study guides. I'd definitely recommend him!

Pincince is a funny guy who can get off topic sometimes. But he lays out exactly what he wants from you. Good class to take for core if not interested in the topic. 2 exams. Lots of quizzes but he tells you what to expect on them. Kicker is the 10% participation that is graded based on how much you raise your hand. Def. one of the better teachers

Prof. Pincince is an overall great, easy professor, especially for this course. Though his lectures can be quite dry and lengthy, his sarcastic remarks can make them somewhat enjoyable. The 2-3 quizzes per weeks are pretty straightforward - just make flashcards on the vocab for each chapter.

There are 10 pop quizzes (5 points each) from the BZS book and lowest 3 are dropped, 2 map quizzes (5 points each), midtermfinal20 points each. His reading can get overwhelming sometimes, but the pop quizzes are really easy if you just read and study the terms list. Participation matters too.

The first few days of this semester I thought I hated Dr. Pincince, but now I realize I just didn't understand his sense of humor! He is super funny and keeps the lectures pretty interesting. Quizzes every week which are pretty easy due to study guides. two exams. this class is really clear cut and easy to understand thanks to his teaching style

He can be very mean sarcastic but sometimes hilarious. 5 point easy quizzes with 0.5 EC on each every week but drops 4 of lowest grades. Gives you a terms sheet each chapter with what you need to know and use the book to define and you are guaranteed an A. Midterm and final is matching with essay question. Lectures are super boring but participate

Professor Pincince is my favorite professor at Loyola! The lectures can be a bit boring, but he is very sarcastic and makes lots of little jokes throughout the day. Weekly reading quizzes on the reading, 5 questions each all from vocab terms he lists before hand with one extra credit.

Good teacher with very straight-forward expectations. Weekly chapter quizzes (which he gives you a calendar for at the beginning) that cannot be made up if you miss, a midterm (short essay) and final (same as midterm). Lectures seem pretty long (but are informative if you listen). Reading the materials is a must. Overall nice and funny guy.

I thought I didn't like him at first but his classes are enjoyable and he's funny. Quizzes weekly but he gives you a study guide and they're not long readings. Easy examswhere terms and essay questions are given in a study guide. No essays otherwise. I recommend him for a tier 2 history class

One of my favorite professors ever. He brought his dog in to class one day so that was really cool. Weekly quizzes but they are super easy if you do the readings. Only a midterm and a final essay and multiple choice. Participation matters! Otherwise he makes class very enjoyable and very funny and caring. Highly recommend.

Professor Pincince is a very good teacher. Attendance is mandatory because you will have a quiz almost every day but study guides are given for all quizzes and tests (2) and you need to study only the study guide. He is funny and encourages participation, takes an interest in his students and the subject matter is easy and predictable.

Pincince is the best professor at Loyola. His class is so easy if you actually do the work. You're an idiot if you don't like him. Ask him about current events and his dogs (probably don't need to ask bc he'll tell you anyways). He used to have a chili pepper before RPM took them away.

He has clear criteria for how you achieve your grade. There are 16 short quizzes and he drops the six that are the lowest. The quizzes are on the chapter and are easy as long as you takes notes as you read. He gives you the prompts and terms for the midterm and final. Overall, his class is very organized and he updates grades weekly. Great class.

Pincince loves history and can make the class fun if you love history as well. He gives 16 quizzes but the lowest 6 are dropped and most quizzes are just 3-4 vocab words and one 2-3 sentence short response. Gives extra credit on all quizzes and attendance is mandatory. As long as you show up and at the least copy the vocab you will get a B.

Cool dude. 16 quizzes (drops 6) so if you do good on them and get the EC question youll go into the final w an A. Basically just vocab from the book. Lecture is kinda boring/he marks attendance but hes nice and funny

HIST104 was a moderate amount of work but super easy to get an A! 16 quizzes and he drops the lowest SIX plus extra credit on every single one so grades get super inflated. Definitely take him!! Just know the vocab that will be on the quizzes and you'll be fine. Midterm and final weren't that bad either! Highly recommend!

Super nice guy. Homework and quizzes are super easy. Midterm and final is intimidating, but ultimately doable. Gives lots of extra credit.

He is SO sweet. Has a sarcastic sense of humor that I find really funny. Loves his dog. He got a really clear grading criteria and his class is SO organized. Really generous about extra credit. Gives quizzes almost every class period on readings, but usually are given a term sheet for it and is generally really easy. He WANTS you to pass!! TAKE him

I freaking love this guy! He is hilarious and teaches history in a way that is easy to understand. Do the terms sheet he posts on sakai for every quiz and you will get 100 or higher on your quizzes. The midterm and final aren't hard either. 10/10 class.

You have to put in a bit of work. The readings are VERY long but Pincince is the most sweetest, funniest, most sarcastic professor ever. He really cares about his students. He offers a lot of extra credit. Go to class because there's a quiz almost every class. PARTICAPATE, that's 10% of your grade. His lectures are dry sometimes though.

Pincince is the best! I took history because it was required but it is probably my favorite class because of him. He is always cracking jokes and having fun with students. He gives 16 easy quizzes but drops the lowest 6 #blessup. Additionally, he is extraordinarily smart and knows his history very well. Makes me want to take more history with him!!

It was Pincince's first Honors class but it was a great experience. He's a little unpredictable, maybe a little crazy, but funny and very passionate about the subject (this was Encountering Asia.) Small, easy 3 page essays (4) based on readings and a longer final exam but he's very lenient on grading if you've read the material. Highly recommend!!

This guy is the funniest Professor I ever had! The men is smart and knows history a lot! However, he goes on about how he hates Trump which can be annoying. However, he knows that a lot of people just take the class to graduate so he is chill about it, and as long as you do your part you should get an A- at least! Take him !

Prof Pincince is hilarious and so kind. This is the best class to take for Tier One History core, it is easy to succeed in his class and he makes class fun. TAKE TAKE TAKE!! However, make sure you look over the terms before quizzes just so you know what you're doing; then you're golden.

His sarcasm can come off a bit mean. Goodluck taking notes. man just drops facts word after word after word. I'm a note taker but as soon as I would write one word down he'd switch to a different topic. When you ask a question, he asks the same question back to you.. and you're like uh. well I wouldn't be asking you if i knew the answer

Some people may complain about his lectures being all over the place but in all honesty you will get a study guide for everything you need to know. The guy is sassy for sure but he's also pretty hilarious so give him a shot. I really enjoyed his class. He has a super interesting view on the world and his discussions on current events are great.

At first, this class was hard because I was drowning in textbook readings, but then he gives us study guides for quizzes which are easy if you know the terms! The hardest part about the class is written essays for the exams. Study hard! He's a bit intimidating to approach, but I know he cares for his students.

HE IS AMAZING! He is really funny and his class is more interesting than anything else. There are quizzes pretty much every class but they are very easy so long as you read or at least look at the term sheet he gives for every quiz to help you prep. He is honestly one of my favorite professors that I've had!

Dr. Pincince is kind and he genuinely wants you to succeed at his course, to a point where he'll deliberately make it easier if other classes are not. You'll need to read a lot. Grading is not super tough, but you do need to be thoughtful and intelligent in your various responses. 8.5/10

I am not a big history fan, but I really enjoyed Professor Pincince's class! He uses a mix of asynchronous and synchronous classes along with simple quizzes for each chapter of the textbook. He is very knowledgeable and very understanding of his students' needs.

He may sometimes feel all over the place during lectures/in his powerpoints, which is why I never bothered going through his PPTs. His quizzes and midterm were pretty easy because he gave us a list of terms we needed to know for them. Just read the textbook chapters before quizzes, focus on the key terms list, and you should be fine!

This class was pretty straightforward in terms of grading, and it wasn't that hard to do well. It does involve a ton of reading though and discussion posts that are relatively lengthy. In general, this class is a great choice for the core history requirement.

Professor Pincince was awesome. Haven't liked history throughout my whole career, but he made me enjoy it for the first time. It is a very intriguing course because he makes it enjoyable with his clear grading and seriously hilarious lectures. You can tell he enjoys being with students.

Professor Pincince really cares about his students. He is passionate about what he teaches and consistently brings current events into his lectures. He is extremely understanding especially when it comes to post-pandemic educational practices. He makes good jokes in class and bumps your grade with little reading quizzes. absolutely would recommend.

He's nice but has a monotone voice which gets boring really fast especially for a MWF class in the morning. He cares about his students and wants everyone to pass with a good grade so he offers extra credit points on every weekly quiz. 40% of the grade is from quizzes, 10% from forums, and the remaining 40% come from the midterm and the final exam.

He is a really funny and down to earth guy. I would highly recommend him for HIST 104. The class was really easy and not stressful at all. Just read the textbook a little bit, understand the key terms and you'll be fine.

He was such a good choice for a history course. Everything is laid out, quiz terms are handed to you before each quiz. His study guides are just the exam, there are no curveballs in this course. 16 short quizzes, drops 6. 2 map quizzes, midterm and final. Really clear and easy A, you put in a little work and you're set!

Dr.Pincince is really hilarious, which made coming to class worth it. His lectures are a bit all over the place, but you can tell he is very intelligent and wants his students to learn from his class. He can come off a bit harsh, but don't take it personally. Two exams, easy quizzes, and forum posts make up grade. Great professor for core credit.

Take his class. He maybe a little weird and intimidating but he's very knowledgeable in his class. He absolutely makes the class easy so that everyone has a good grade. 16 quizzes online which he drops 6. 2 easy map quizzes.10 discussion forums. Midterm and final both have study guide which is amazing.

I recently had Professor Pincince this fall for hist104, and he was the kindest teacher ever. He gives you the quiz answers right before you take it. Yes his powerpoints can be confusing (he said it himself) but his lectures are extremely helpful. I usually skimmed the assigned chapter before class and ended up doing fine. Take his class!!! Easy A.

Very straightforward if you do the bare minimum, learn the terms on the sheet he provides, and follow the syllabus. Lecture heavy but gives you answers to the quizzes during. Lots of extra credit! Can be a little intimidating to participate in some cases, but you can tell he is very passionate and knowledgeable about history. Would recommend!

His lectures can go off-track quickly, he'll go on long rants about Elon Musk, Taylor Swift, Trump, etc. That said he's extremely knowledgeable and knows the textbook cover to cover. Participation is difficult, but the quizzes are insanely easy, he gives the answers during lecture if you listen. If you can handle his prickly personality, take him!

ok, i loved him. everything was online and he was so so nice, pretty much as you were nice back, though my classmate had a few issues with communicating with him, but as long as youll be fine on your own hes perfect. quizzes are online, map quizzes are so so easy, and the final is online too. if youre looking for an easy professor for 104 he is it.

Super funny guy, does not believe in miderms or finals so that takes a lot of stress away. Quizzes every week but he drops the lowest grade for every 3 (6/16 dropped in total). Really down to earth and understands how the students engage. Def take him

Dr. Pincince is one of the nicest professors I've had to date. He is one the most knowledgable on the topics he teaches and is clearly well prepared for every class. His lectures are very thorough and he is very talented at challenging students without putting too much pressure on them. I have appreciated my time in his class very much.

Easiest class ever. 0 tests, no final, 16 quizzes total (drops 6). 6 writing posts due by the end of the semester. Attendance required, but lets you skip 3 classes. You literally just show up to class, listen to him talk which was mostly about his dogs or his opinions on bicycle safety, and leave. He's chill and funny just take him trust me.

He is amazing! I loved his humor he was very funny and always threw out jokes to keep the class entertained. The class is very lecture heavy but they are pretty simple to follow if you read the textbook. The quizzes are very easy and theres easy extra credits on every quiz plus he drops ur 6 worst scores out of 16. He lets you skip 3 classes.

Great profesor, he's really funny and tries to keep the class engaged. Very chill as there's no exams, definitely take him!

Pincince is really great. Almost everyday, there's a lecture and an online homework quiz and the quizzes make up half your grade. But he will drop your lowest six which is super helpful. There are also mini discussion forum essays but you only have to do 5-6. Aside from the class logistics, he's a funny person and very laid back.

Professor Pincince brings a fun, laid-back approach to HIST104. While his lectures can meander, the easy quizzes and open-book policy make this an ideal class for an effortless A. Unstuck ai was a game-changer for review prep.

Very straight forward class and Pincince is a very entertaining and a funny guy (like the class would laugh out loud). Quizzes are 5 questions (w one EC question) at the end of certain classes, and he drops the ones you do the worst on + no final. Discussion posts can be a lot of work (you only have to do 5 tho) - but again no final or test.

Not sure why he's got a low rating here, Pincince is such a fair prof compared to many others at LUC. The subject may be boring to some and he gets that. He's the type to talk and talk which I think is fine. He's a good storyteller, likes to talk about his dogs and rant about his commute on bike. In-class quizzes, mini essays, no exams or final

great professor. if you want a serious class do not take his class. this class is purely to get an a and complete a requirement if you do the work and show up to take the quizzes you will get an a. he tends to go on tangents but you just can't take him seriously if you laugh and have fun the class is enjoyable. I will miss this class.

He is a YAPPER, but his class is super easy. You have weekly quizzes that are super easy, and he drops the lowest six. The class is boring, but basically impossible to fail.

Professor Pincince has been my favorite at Loyola! He is so funny and out of pocket which makes the class fun. There is NO midterm or final! 16 quizzes but he drops the lowest 6 and has 3 short papers! For attendance (10%), you can only miss 3 classes and no technology is allowed! As a STEM major I have always hated history but loved his class!

Take him for an easy A. You're graded on attendance, 16 quizzes, and 3 short essays. He gives study guides for the terms on quizzes and drops the lowest 6. Overall, he's a really chill prof, funny at times, and just likes to yap about current events. Def take him if you need an easy class to fulfill your core.

Easy A. Take for History T1 credit. Hardest part of class is showing up because it is so boring, but so incredibly easy!

Dr. Pincince is absolutely my favorite professor. Very talkative and knowledgeable in his field, I would 100% reccomend taking this course. Most of his lectures were pretty short, and attendance and begining of slides would take up time in class. He knows his students and is a kind professor. I am curious about his screentime though.

entire grade is based on 3 essays, 16 quizzes (with 6 lowest scores being dropped), and attendance. very easy class, take if you can! very interesting guy to listen to in class.
