Not a very easy class but Mr. Ogbeide is good humored and helpful. He has an accent that is hard to understand, and he only talks (doesn't write on the board, no Powerpoint). So listen carefully and ask him to repeat things you don't understand. Talk to him, get to know him, and ask for help when you need it; he is flexible. Tests are essay tests.

Mr. Ogbeide is professional, enjoys politics and is particular about attendance. He is knowledgeable about history, and his tests were matching/multiple choice for 1302. As long as you do the work, and put forth the effort he will meet you halfway-he lets you know what you need to do to pass. This is the professor for Hist 1302!

He's well versed in his history and gives good lectures (vocal, no powerpoint) and if you listen well, his tests are easy, even more if you do the study guides. He's very laidback and friendly, but can get serious if needed. At first, you'll think you're in for a rough time due to his accent, but after a class he becomes clear to understand.

Horrible professor. Don't get me wrong, the class was super easy. He gives a review before each exam & they're the exact same thing so if you complete and memorize the answers (which you can find online), you're set. But he doesn't teach. He's somewhat rude & I learned absolutely nothing. Easy A, but don't expect to learn or retain a thing.

Professor Mike Ogbeide is a very understanding professor. Even if you are the procrastinating type or work full time he will work with you if you miss a deadline or two. As long as you communicate and do not wait until the course is ending to say something he will work with you. The assignments are pretty straight forward and easy to understand.

Professor Ogbeide is an amazing professor and the course is super simple. Assignments can feel long but they are not complicated and there are only 6 assignments. There is no final but you do have to write a research paper. There are 4 exams for the semester and they are super simple. Communication is extremely important with him! Call him!!!

At first, I thought this class would be tough with all the history-related information, but in reality, it was quick, simple, and straightforward. Assignments are unambiguous, and all the questions relate to the textbook online; everything was brief would recommend many students to take this class for an easy passing grade.

Would 100% take this class again! A lot of homework and long papers but as long as you do at least the bare minimum and participate, he will give good grades and extra credit! Professor Ogbeide wants his students to succeed and does everything to make that happen, if you want it too.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ONLINE COURSE! This man is not clear at all on instructions. The exams are ridiculous, so if you know the right answer be prepared to get it wrong. Be prepared to write up to 14 pages for ONE SINGLE ASSIGNMENT. NO ANNOUNCEMENTS! Exams will spring up on you. NO GUIDELINES. NO DISCUSSIONS, so no help from other students.

Only communicates by phone, tells you to call when emailed. Incredibly rude when speaking about what was needed on homework no one in the class understood. The 1st homework assin. required two-page answers for each question. He asked why I was taking this class if I don't have a passion for history (1301 - a mandatory pre-req class).

Mr.Ogbiede's class was a great course to take for first-time college students! It's mostly self-paced, but as long as you stay caught up on your work it's pretty chill. In total, I wrote about 60 pages for the class, but Mr.Ogbiede grades super easy (except for the Final Paper). There are only 4 Exams and all of the questions come from the notes!

Most assignments are long and time-consuming but not hard, they do require you to read the textbook though. He grades most of the assignments pretty decently but grades the research paper harshly. I was given a near-failing score on my paper simply because he wasn't satisfied with my citations. I had just barely managed to get an A in this class.

STAY AWAY. I'm determined that the reviews for this professor is absolutely fake. You have to write A LOT OF PAPERS and he grades super tough on them. As a summer course, he makes it very difficult for you to pass and actually enjoy what you are learning.

I took this class in the summer, and it was a ton of work! I still received a good grade for this class, but you must dedicate a lot of time! I have written over 20+ papers which is more than what I have written for an English class. The professor responded sometimes when I had questions. Overall, it was an okay course.
