Mr. Pellerin gives a quiz every class, but the quiz questions show back up on the test so if you study your quizzes you'll do good on the test. You don't have to read the texbook either.
Mr. Pellerin is a fantastic lecturer. He hardly uses the book, and his lectures are funny, quirky, and entertaining. He has a great sense of humor, and he tells you EXACTLY what will be on the test. Quiz every class, and generous bonuses on tests and quizzes. If you pay attention and take notes, you will pass easily!
He is an outstanding teacher I would take him for all the classes he teaches. You would not need the book just write down the notes he writes on the board. You will have a quiz every class period about the previous lecture safe your notes & quizes & you will pass the exams.This class is an easy A.
You have a quiz every class but if you look over your notes from the lecture before you will do fine. The tests are over the quizzes that you took since the last test, if you study and come to class you will be fine.
Mr. Pellerin is an awesome professor!!! He keeps the class interesting and by the end of the class you will like History more than you did in the begining!!! His classes are easy you DO NOT need the text book and the answers to the quizzes are in your notes!!! He ROCKS!!!
I love Mr. Pellerin. He is incredibly enthusiastic about his class and is very knowledgable in his field. He makes what could be dry subject matter come to life. He is really a wonderful teacher..... and cute. Listen for his very unique laugh. Definately my favorite professor so far
He is an easy A. take notes on everything, don't miss a class, and he makes class fun. sometimes he lets you use a recorder. there is no text book work, just a reading assignment, a movie review, and a lot of quizzes. take good notes and you will be great.
The best History teacher I know. I actually learned something and ejoyed it. Show up to each class, take good notes - There will be a quiz in the beginning of each class regarding the previous lecture. No book needed. You will have to critique US History based film, and read a novel for a 10 question quiz. Easy A!
Awesome Teacher! Literally gives you the answers to all of the tests, so take notes.
super funny which makes things enjoyable and easy! really not interest in history but i learned a lot and had fun. quizzes come directly from the notes and tests come word for word from the quizzes. if u get a bad grade u must not have attended class. as long as u take notes you'll succeed....highly reccomend!
Great teacher, made boring class unboring, and quizes are easy even though they are written, just make sure to study what he writes on the board, easy 100. other than that just a 3 page movie review and a 10 question test on a book, easy. NO NEED TO BUY TEXTBOOK WITH THIS TEACHER
Greatest professor ever hahaha. Loved it and looking forward to next semester with him. Easiest A ever.
He is very easy and does not require attendance but if you are not there then you miss all the notes. His quizes and exams ALL come from his lecture, if you study this class is a breezee. I loved this class and i actually learned. He is so hot i can hardly concentrate! he is super fine!!!!
Mr. Pellerin's class is fun for the most part. Sometimes you may have to take a lot of notes, but you really only have to pay attention to what he writes on the board. Quizzes are numerous but easy and you should keep them for the tests. Total of 3. There is also a film review due in the middle of the semester, can be done in one night! :D
Mr. Pellerin is an amazing professor! The style in which he conducts class is conducive to learning. His quizzes are pretty easy, and exam questions come from the quiz. Easy A if you attend class!!!
Very helpful and the class is actually interesting. Write down notes and you will pass the quizzes. Only 3 tests and the tests are what you were quizzed on. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK....you wont even open it. I took him for 1301 and 1302 this Spring.
Mr. Pellerin is a badass. He is so chill and nice. During mardi gras he gave us fat Tuesday off so he could go party in Galveston. He is really chill but he goes through his lectures pretty quick so u have to pay attention but u don't have to buy a book which is AWESOME!
Great teacher, super easy!!
I didnt sign up for him. i got thrown in his class. By far the worst teacher ive ever had. It's absolutely nothing on a personal level because he seems like a cool guy but i really cant comprehend his teaching methods. I honestly wouldnt ever recommend his class if your looking to keep your gpa up, or even pass for that matter.
Just write down EXACTLY what he puts on the board. Easy schmeasy.
Evening class. Quiz every night we met. We do not use the book at all, he simply lectures, and you must write every word. I must admit, he's easy if you're a good listener and note taker, but if not, it's a challenge. 100 questions on exams (4total) 50 multiple choice 50 fill in. In my opinion, he's not professional at all.
Total bamf. Funny and makes it a point not to waste his or your time. Only class I didn't skip all year. Quizzes and tests are similar and pretty easy if you just show up and write the words on the board
You show up to his class everyday, listen, take good notes, study and you will be fine. He's not a difficult professor, he doesn't try to fool you his test and quizzes are pretty straightforward. He does have a little bit of a dark sense of humor, but it does make the class a little more interesting.
Very cool teacher! Interesting and easy class. Just show up to class, listen to what he has to say, and what he writes on board is important, then next time you go to his class, you take a quiz, and repeat. He is funny, nice, and helps you out if needed. NO Books required.
It's impossible to fail his class, unless your impossibly lazy. By far the best professor I've taken. Tests are directly from notes. Just attend and take good notes and study it and you will pass.
Took him once a week; quiz everyday over last weeks lecture; Test after every 3 or 4 quizzes; But IT'S EASY. Everything (quizzes and tests) come straight from lectures, no book required which saves you money. If your not a good listener then buy a recorder. If you take good notes & study, you will get an A.
He is an awesome teacher. It is impossible to fail his course. Everyday you have a quiz at the beginning of class over the notes the previous week. His tests and quizzes are easy as long as you listen to his lecture. He is pretty funny and he keeps the class interesting. Also, you do not need a book for his class, so you save money.
He is a FANTASTIC professor!! His lectures are great he has a fun sense of humor which is good because the lectures are not borning. You must attend class because you will have a quiz the next week over the notes from prior class. As long as you listen to his lectures and take notes the class is easy. Also you do not need a book which is a plus!!
History was one of my least favorite classes until I took his class. He makes it interesting and fun. You normally get out of class at least an hour early which was nice and you do not need a text book. Quizes are fill in the blank and you have them each week on the previous lecture. I highly recommend him!
Fantastic teacher! Makes everything easy to understand,lets you out early, will answer all your questions, and stay after to help you. All the grades are one paper, a quiz every week over the previous, and 3 tests. No homework or textbook needed and I remember everything because he was fun to listen to and made it interesting.
He is an awesome professor. He can be a bit inappropriate at times so this class is not for the faint at heart. He makes his class barable, easy and passable. No book needed. 20 questions fill in the blank (no word bank) quiz over every lecture.3 tests with quiz questions EXACTLY plus a few more that is 1/2 MC and 1/2 fill in blank. TAKE HIM!
Good lecturer. Covers all aspects of subject matter. All lecture, no textbook. Listen and learn. Lots of notes is the key. Will take him again. Super easy. Adult learner based.
Class is pretty easy- just take notes. He writes down the key items on the board and tells you what you need to know. 20 question fill in the blank quiz every class- questions are from the notes. Bonus question as well. Exams are 100 questions 50 multiple choice/50 fill in. Have to write a paper but it's only 3 pages long. Will take him again!
Very fun and easy class. If you are a good note taker and show up to class u will pass ! Professor makes learning about History interesting.You don't need to buy the book. I hope to take him for 1302.
Amazing professor! Nice and understanding if you deserve it.makes class enjoyable.funny and the most important of all, i actually am retaining all the info. He taught us. One of my favs,great guy
He is an amazing teacher. Makes the lectures very funny and entertaining. Wish I wasn't transfering next semester, because I would love to be in his class again.
His teaching Method is diffrent, you will have to pay attention and write notes 247. If not he writes down names of historic People on the board and you will have to learn of them on your own time from book, internet ETC. Boring, but what can you expect from HIstory! Quiz every class from previous lecture, Cool proffesor overall. Good Luck!
Don't buy book. Write what he writes on the board-you WILL see it again. If anything is unclear, just ask what you need to know about the term. He will explain clearly and concisely. I took his night class (3 hours) and he let us out early! Funny guy, v nice. Gives extra cred. Don't stress about the essay (watched To Kill A Mockingbird movie,easy)
Take him! He makes history fun! All you need to know is what he writes on the board I found that recording the lecture helps since he moves kinda fast. Quiz every week on previous lecture, 1 paper (easy) and every 4 quizzes you will have an exam over that material. TAKE HIM!!! Interesting class for an easy A
His stories are great and he really knows his history
Loved his class! I looked forward to his classes every night. I took him for a summer class. 5 weeks, 3 nights a week. Classes went by fast. Tests are easy. Taking notes aren't too terrible for him. Write what he writes on the board and you'll be set for making an A on his quizzes and tests!
Super nice guy, knows a lot of interesting things about history. Took him for history 1302 at night and he always let us out early. Everything on the quizzes will be on your exam. One paper and 3 exams. You definitely won't regret taking him!
Must show up to write notes to pass. Test are fill in the blank. 9 quizzes and 3 exams are given. Exams are half multiple choice and half fill in the blank. 1 Essay to write. Quizzes and exams are easy. No need for textbook whatsoever, so don't buy one! Keeps lectures interesting and funny.
Great Professor. Super passionate about what he teaches. Very clear on what he wants. Several quizzes, one page paper. Make sure you go to class because you will have quizzes each class period. if i could take him again, I definitely would.
Pellerin is a great professor who knows a lot about what he teaches. Several quizzes. They're super easy though as long as you take notes. The tests are literally straight from the quizzes. I have an A in his class and I might study a maximum of 30 minutes per week. And it's a summer class. As long as you take notes, you'll have no problem passing.
Best history professor ever!!! Take notes and look over them and you will get good grades on his quizzes which are super easy. The tests are literally the quiz questions. You don't need the textbook at all. I feel like I actually learned something. I got an A on every test and an A in the class. Didn't take up much of my time. Take him!!!!
Only things you need to write down are the words he writes on the board and look over them a couple times and you will get an easy A. You will have a quiz every week over the 20 or so words you learned the previous week. The exams are the same questions as the quizzes. Easiest class ever, take him if you have the chance.
Write what he writes on the board and what he says about it study get a on quiz , exams are the quizzes .
Professor Pellerin is a great teacher! He loves History but will not bore you with it. Gives you just enough information you need to pass his quizzes and exams. Be ready for everyday quizzes but also don't be afraid, he gives extra credit points and helps you to whatever extent you need, he is really an awesome professor. Must take him!!
Professor Pellerin is really passionate about History, plus he is kind and hilarious. The way he teaches is that he literally tells stories about what happened, but doesnt bore you to death because he is super funny! He is the first History Prof that actually makes me feel excited to go to class! 1quiz/week, 3 tests and 1 paper. Easy A. TAKE HIM
This has been my favorite class in my college career. He makes the lectures so interesting. He writes down the term you need to study on the board and you have to listen the get the definition. Take notes and use quizlet. Im taking him again for sure.
I love Pellerin's class. i never understood history and i never liked it, but this professor made me understand history and made me learn a lot of stuff. Definitely my favorite professor so far in my college years. TAKE HIS CLASS!!!
He is a very laid back Professor as long as you take your notes and listen during his class. If you miss a class get the notes from someone around you the quizzes are based off notes and the tests are based off your quizzes.
This is the EASIEST class I have ever taken and it has to do with this professor! His class is SUPER easy. For example. If you have his class on Mondays/Wednesdays, you have a lecture both days the whole class period but as he talks he writes that specific term that you need to know for the weekly quiz on the board. Quiz after every 2 lectures.
I came into the class very unenthusiastic about US History. However, Pellerin is very laidback and funny. He is calm, but tries to make his lectures interesting. I didnt have textbooks, this class was STRICTLY note-taking, quiz taking, and test taking. If you are not a note taker, you WILL fail this class.
The lectures are very informative so make sure to write good notes. Pay attention and you will be able to pass the class. Make sure to study or else you won't be able to pass. Overall he's a great teacher i would defiantly recommend.
Super cool professor. Easy A. No textbook required. Attendance is necessary to pass since he only teaches through lecture, no notes posted on BB. 9 quizzes, 3 exams, 1 paper. Take him!
One of the best professors you can get. Took His class twice 2 EASYY A's. All you have to do is listen and take the notes he writes on the board and you'll pass. There lots of quizzes but the quizzes are easy. 1 paper, but he'll let you turn it in whenever for just 5 points off. He work's with your schedule. This dude is one of the best!!!!!!!!!!!!
This professor was really bad at communicating. He would post when something was do but then on the videos he makes he would change it up. He lectures a lot. He writes stuff on the board and that is what you use for the test and quizzes. all the test are 100 questions. You must study!!!
Professor Pellerin was amazing. I hate history but he is very passionate about it, and that made it interesting. He really is relatable and funny during lectures which makes it easy to remember. He is great at making his lecture an illustration. Whatever he writes on the board will be tested.
he was a great professor. If you can, try to take him! his lectures were very informational and he was also very funny. Because of covid our class had to be online. He was understanding and left the lecture videos on blackboard so we can go back and go over them! I appreciated that alot. there is only one signature assignment.
He is a very easy-going professor. His class is very straight forward and all the information is given through his lectures. He gives 3 quizzes before every test and all 3 quizzes are on the test. Although the tests are 100 questions, 60 multiple choice and 40 fill in the blank, it's super quick and easy. I would recommend studying for the tests.
Really nice, lots of lectures and quizzes, but overall easy class.
every single class he would speak and you would have to write down everything he said, every week you also either have a quiz or test, and all quizzes were open ended and tests were 100 questions 50 open ended he would never give reviews except for letting you study the quiz questions which make up 1/3 of the tests
This class wasn't necessarily hard, but it is very lecture heavy. He does not provide any notes or PowerPoint, so you must be there every day to make sure you have all the information for your quizzes. TAKE YOUR OWN NOTES, and study all of them.
Professor is very cool but I dislike him not having any reviews or materials to look over. The classes are lecture heavy and you need to take notes on everything he says. at least once a week you will have a quiz or an exam. All are open ended and exams are 100 questions.
Yes he is lecture heavy and you have to take many notes, however if you make friends this class is easy. He tells you exactly what you need to know, and makes it very simplified. As some one who struggles deeply with history he is amazing. Yes their is lot of open ended quizzes, but if you make a quizlet they are extremely easy. Studying is key!
Overall he was a good professor, very lecture heavy and quiz heavy, often lecture type classes are difficult for me but he makes the topics interesting. Quiz's and exams are easy if you study and memorize names and events. Most important thing I would is is take lots of notes.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! Take his class if you can!
Lecture was enjoyable and he gave a ton of extra credit
He's a fun and easy going teacher. You do have to attend his class if you don't want to miss out on notes since almost all of the terms he covers will be on the exams. The class consists of 3 quizzes before each exam, which there are 3, and 1 short paper. Do recommend!
Mr. Pellerin is possibly the first professor who made me enjoy learning about history. His lectures follow an amazing timeline which makes it easy to understand. I recommend taking notes in order to pass this class. Make sure to study to learn all topics for quizzes and exams. Overall pretty easy class with an easygoing teacher.
Absolutely loved Pellerin. Laid-back and chill, and a lenient grader (ex: if the answer is Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys and you put "Green Mt. Boys", he'll take it). His teaching style is simple: every 2 classes- quiz, every 3 quizzes- exam, and one very EASY signature assignment. The class is based on lectures; listen and you'll PASS!
Professor Pellerin is a very laid-back professor. Every two classes there is a quiz and every three quizzes is an exam. If your answer is misspelled but is still correct he will take it as the right answer. His signature assignment is very easy no one should be able to fail it. Overall his class is a 10/10 and I would take it again.
He is a really chill teacher. If you just write down what he tell you to you will pass his class. I got a 100% in his class by making flashcards and studying them before class. If you misspell the answers on a quiz/test, he will give you the points depending on how close you got to the right answer.
he is very lecture heavy so if you do miss a day you will have to get notes from people, he has funny lectures is overall a good professor, did sleep alot during his lectures
loved this professor! he literally puts all the information you need to know on a short and concise powerpoint which makes everything so easy. I already enjoyed history but I found this class amazing. the tests are very long but they're easy just look at the review and you'll be fine.
He makes the lectures interesting and informative.
He's very nice and chill. You just have to pay attention and look back at what notes you've taken. He will have your tests back to you the next time he sees you.
One of the funniest teachers I have gotten so far! Would 10/10 recommend!
YOU WILL PASS! I returned to school this year after 2 and half years of no school. I was super anxious in my learning abilities and this professor was super chill! ATTEND CLASS, and literally all you have to do is Listen, write down what he says, memorize it and boom! Easy A! I am so serious take his class you won't regret it!
I'm only making this review because i loved this professor and I genuinely miss taking his class! super easy and chill!
This Professor is by far the best history professor I have ever had. He has explained and spoken of it in a way more memorable than any professor/ teacher that I have ever had. Attending lectures are important for passing the class. Quizzes are fill in the blank, exams are 50 fill in blank, 50 multiple choice.
I had Mr. Pellerin for my 1301 History Class and he was absolutely amazing! He makes your life easy by reading out in depth notes of the section you are which 100% prepares you for the quiz every week. Mr. Pellerin was a very chill professor yet a very professional one. You're in safe hands if you have him for your semester!
Pellerin was easily one of the funniest and most real professors I have had since starting College. His knowledge of History topics is very expansive and inspirational. He also had a great sense of humor and never failed at making the classes laugh out loud, If I paid more attention, I would have gotten a higher grade, period.
Don't recommend if you have a short attention span bc he's lecture heavy, but fs record his lectures for missed notes! Write down what he says. Quizzes are on exams but still go over material!! Quizzes are fill in the blank, but don't have to be spelled correctly and very easy. No textbook, funny yet serious professor. Highly recommend!
Very chill class, lecture heavy but if you take notes and pay attention it'll be one of your easiest classes
Best professor I've had so far. He is willing to work with you if anything comes up. Always quick to help his students. Extremely hard to fail his class. Lectures are very thorough, just make sure you are listening and ready to learn. Exams are based off quizzes & everything is mentioned in class.
Mr. Pellerin is an amazing professor. Amazing if you are barley starting college, he is very funny and hilarious very hard to fail his class. You do have to take notes but if they are simple and clean you will pass his class with flying colors.10/10
This professor was my favorite professor I've ever had. He was clear and understanding. He was a great teacher!
The class feels fairly relaxed while still managing to be educational.
For ur botes do cornell notes he gives u a clear term and defenition type of thing in his lectures so just be a good lister and TAKE NOTES. he does provide any PowerPoint and he just YAPS SO DRINK COFFE GET A REDBULL PUSH THROUGH IT. you got this! Also for studying just do active recall and ull get 90s and above!
