great class i would recomend him

Felt like he really cared about his students: willing to give of his time to help students with difficulties. Great instructor!!

Great guy, lots of fun and sense of humor. Fair tests and helpful

very good teacher, cares about his students and his profession. Highly recomend him.

i took this class on-line and he was great. The tests werent too hard, he was very involved with the discussion boards, and the class was very informative. Highly suggested!

REAL COOL GUY, BE PREPARED TO TAKE A LOT OF NOTES

this guy is great!

Excellent teacher. Very organized. His classes are very interesting with a lot of movies, documentaries and presentations that makes history a very interesting subject.

very funny and easy

Easy teacher, easy notes, no need for a book. Teacher is funny, if you understand his jokes. If your a fan of the Simpsons, youll love this teacher because he uses a lot of references.

GREAT GUY, VERYING CARING AND HELPFUL. GOES OUT OF HIS WAY TO GIVE STUDENTS THE BEST. TAKE THIS CLASS!!

THIS IS THE MAN!! HE IS SO FUNNY AND REALLY CARES FOR HIS STUDENTS.

Awesome instructor. Makes history easy for those of us that really really hate to study history. If you need to take this class and hate history take this one its easy to pass but you do learn a thing or two about history.

very easy, no homework, but most of your grade is based on 4 quizez, and mid-term , a book report, and the final. He does offer a good amount of extra credit. Watch out for the studder though and he's pretty funny and swears some times so it seems like he has terets. Great, passionate teacher though

He is very serious teacher. He is not good at speaking, and the class is EXTREMELY boring. What he needs to do is just speak louder and make the class a bit fun. His knowledge and anything others has no problem. He can be an outstanding instructor if he speaks louder and make the class fun.

Very nice guy. Super intelligent, definitely knows his stuff. His tests can be hard if you don't study and don't prepare the essay. There are two papers to write, but he didn't grade very hard. Just go to class, watch the movies, and study the study guides and youll do fine.

Very nice guy! Class is pretty easy as long as you pay attention. Has you write two essays on mid term and final, he gives you the questions ahead of time. Downside is that he isn't very clear when he talks, needs to speak up. He teaches with powerpoints and has the class watch several movies.

Great teacher. Class itself is boring, I hate history. A lot of reading plus reading a book and make a report of the book. Test are online (70 questions). He is a great teacher very helpful and he makes class easy. Take his class online you won't regret it. Easy to get an A

he is very very easy and good, you have a term paper but it is on pretty much what you want. passed with an A easily!!

So EASY.. I took the Spring bonus online class... 3 weeks.. 3 tests .. he gives you the test before you take it.. one paper on a book u pick.. and some online questions.. Fast Easy..

He is a super nice guy. His class is interesting and he is trying his best to help students uot by giving clear directions. He is soft spoken so sit in the front. He has some cute cat stories.

Fun. Easy. Perfect.

A Good Teacher Who Freaked Out In Class At Times, Really Willing To Help His Students And Seems To Really Care. Not Too Hard, Stutters A Bit, Would Take Again.

Very good professor. All exam reviews are very Thorough. I really enjoyed his class.

Took his intersession online History class. 3 weeks, 3 tests, one paper, one A. Easiest grade ever.

for me this class was very easy, not too much time involved. only one paper due at end you can retake the tests like three times. I received an "A" and put in not much effort.

I think he was a great teacher! explained things well and the quizzes were extremly easy! i would reccoment him to anyone. the paper is kind of long but its on a book that YOU choose to read. dont wait til last minute for anything. Great teacher and helpful! take him for anything you can!

After reading comments on him I thought it would be an easy A for Hist108 Online. But he said that there will be no Extra credit since it is an online class. I spent an avarage of 5 hours on each online exam-100 questions-, done the book review and I got a B. I think I could get an A if there had been just a couple of extra credit points.

Omg, what are you people complaining about?? It's an online class, and you still complain about doing work? Just drop out then! haha I mean what do you expect, a class that you don't go to AND has no work?? You guys are dumb! There's barely enough room to type so i'll continue on another comment...

ONLINE, This class was easy until you get to the tests. There 100 questions and you have to look everything up in the book. One test took me about 12 hours. Other than the test you have 8 assignments which you you have to look up answers to about 5-7 question online which are not to hard. Overall, its an okay class, tests are very difficult....

Yes the tests are time consuming, BUT he gives them to you!!! Don't do it all in one day, do a little at a time. I took both 108 and 109. Compared to other History teachers, he is not hard.

I took Hist 108 over the summer and it wasn't bad at all!! No midterm or final and the tests are easy-40 questions long and you can print them out before you take them. The only hard part is that you have to write a few papers. He seemed to be an easy grader though. I would take another class of his!!

I took his summer online class and it was very easy. He gives 4 tests plus some web assignments. You have to find the aswers in the book which can be tedious. But he's really funny and the class was a breeze.

he is cool. i didnt do much for this online class besides the quizes, and the book reviews and doc sets. he is a fair guy as u see.

I just LOVE HIM, I'll take his class again this fall 2007 for Hist 108 because, he's funny, very helpfull, care alot about the students, very open mind, i would like to know more about him.

You have to take into the fact of the wildfires, so some people had diff views. This semester, I took both his 108 and 109 and I truly beleived he did his best in handling the class. If you know your assignments and keep up, which online classes are well known for, then you will have no problems in attaining an A. Keep up the good work. 5+

he is a nice guy and good teacher, but the class was HARD (hist 108 online). this is a class you'll want the books for. as long as you do your work and put that extra effort into the assignments, you'll pass. two papers you have to write, and a few quizes. he was a good teacher, but i wouldnt take it again.

Oscar is one of the most helpful online teachers I've ever had. There is no final or midtermm, 7 40 question test instead. You get the test in pfd form 3 days before they're due, get to print them out and submit them when you've looked up the answers. He's helpful and understanding. So much that I'm taking him during the summer for HIST 109!

I took history 108 with this professor and he grades fair. the papers are kind of hard, but if you have any questions he gives you good advice, the quizzes are easy and make sure you catch up with the reading, he is a great teacher and I would recommed him to anyone.

I took Hist 108 online and he is one of the best online instructors ive had. heavy textbook use though so you have to read.

OSCAR IS A GREAT TEACHER. YOU DON'T NEED TO READ TEXT BOOK. CURVES THE TESTS SO MUCH THAT ALMOST EVERYONE WITH B+ WOULD END UP GETTING A'S. GRADES THE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS VERY EASY. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.

Rather than test for familiarity with the material quiz requires interpretation and judgment calls. More than one answer may be correct but which is MORE correct? Also, questions ask about obscure facts like was it 1877 this happened or 1878? Was it king James 1 or James 2? Takes no prisoners. Shouldnt it be more important if I got an overall idea?

Wow! I took this class online and it is very time consuming! This guy is super sweet but gives tons of work, weekly quiz, document. sets, book review, three long discussion boards, PBS video review, SLO assignments, it's never ending! I barely had enough time to complete my other classes! I had to miss so much work to keep up with this class.

There is heavy textbook use for his online class. Took this Spring semester. There are a total of 16 quizzes with 25 questions each, 6 papers, and discussion board. Whew. I passed with a B. I rather have an A. He doesn't give explanations on the grades given for the papers. This class is very time consuming.

Ther is a LOT of work involved in this class. It's fairly straight forward if you read the text, but it requires a lot of time.

Really nice guy, but the assignments are not spaced out evenly at all. TONS of work the last 3 weeks compared with only quizzes for the first 9. Doesn't provide feedback on papers or grades even when asked, so very hard to correct any mistakes for the next assignment. LOTS of reading each week.

The class is online only with no tests, only long open book quizzes. There are many extra assignments - had to read Farewell to Manzanar, Caesar Chavez, White Fang and Juaquin Murrieta PLUS another book by a CA author for a book report. Lots of extra "busy" work!!! still interesting class but do not take if you won't have time.

Online course requiring additional texts & choice of California-oriented novel review. Lot of effort needed. No mid-term/final, but 8 50-question quizzes with PDF copies offered shortly before quiz date. Need to double-check "correct" quiz answers, as they vary from the text occasionally. Quiz questions worded difficultly at times, possibly biased.

Took his course online & loved it. 8 quizzes straight from the text. 3 papers & 2 small assignments. It was very interesting & he is very involved with the class. I would take him again!

Took his online class, there is a lot of homework in this class for a general ed class, I probably spent 8-16 hours every week just on this class. Some weeks have 3 assignments due while others have 1 assignment due. Even during the finals week, there was about 4 assignments due, so I could not study as much as I wanted for my other classes.

This was by far the most time consuming class I have every taken!!! There was a test every week along with a discussion board every week. We then had 8 writing assignments that were all different and took forever to complete because you had to watch videos to write them and read books. I do not recommend this class if you want something easy...

Text with 15 chapters, class with 15 quizzes, 1 per chapter, 1 per week, 30 questions & chapters 50 pages long. Does give an outline prior to quiz. Lots of discussion board work, & numerous extra assignments. It is an interesting class, but not for summer session and maybe not with any time-consuming classes. Text's wrong in spots, too. Be wary!

You will for sure use all of your textbooks you buy. You read 2 books and get quizzed on them and write papers on them. Honestly, it was too much for an online class but he's nice, clear, and answers questions back. Discussion boards are the EASIEST.

I thought he was a great teacher! There was a lot of work in this class but I am in college and would expect that. Most homework assignments are clear and he grades pretty well. Not to harsh. Quizzes are a little. Not bad overall :)

Oscar is a nice guy, but the amount of work he assigned was overwhelming. He instructs his class with the mentality that it's the only class you're taking. I'm surprised I was able to get through that mountain of essays, reflection journals, and discussion boards. He does grade fairly leniently though, and he's helpful.

I would anyone to take this class, online both Chio141A, 141

Los of work, but not a tough grader. He was a very nice guy.

Unfortunately I only had him as fully remote teacher and did not have zoom meetings either. Some reviews say the essays are hard and require lots of work but from my experience it is just choosing and reading an reading article, summarize it, and give your insight on in. The readings are a lot but 100% manageable.

I would recommend you to take with this professor because he is amazing, he will listen to you and help you as much as he can. His assignments are not easy you need to prepare before the due dates way ahead. If you do everything on time, you will get an easy A.

This professor was really great. He allowed me to turn in late work and requested for a grade change petition in order to help me out. He did his very best to accommodate and help me. Life can be tough, so having a professor who is helpful is really amazing. The course work is not too difficult. He tells you what he wants from you

Read the description of what he puts out, do the work and you'll get a great grade.

The work load was informative yet he made it easy as long as you went through the modules and engaged in the class. It was fully online, and he provided PDF copies of the quizzes which made it SO easy to study. You also get to choose your own articles for essays which makes them more personalized.

Professor Canedo is a tough grader the assigments are essays and i like the feedback he provides. Do the work and read and you will do great in this course!

Lots of writing but he grades lightly and the assignments are not at all hard to do, they are repetitive and easy to get a grasp on, he also gives you a lot of the work early if you want to get ahead. Great professor overall, enjoyed this class.

Not a tough grader but as long as you get the work done and do as he says. There are a couple of essays to do and quizzes. Final exam is long but he gives you an advance notice to prepare for it. Chill professor.

Honestly highly recommend taking this class. Time after time I expected to get a very poor grade on important assignments only to discover I received an A or a high B. I was very surprised and honestly he's a really nice guy. Class was super easy so I recommend taking it if you're looking for an easy class to pass & you need to take a history class

This professor is great! He has preview module videos for each module where he goes over all of the material that will be covered for the module, and releases exact PDF copies of the exams so we can gather our answers beforehand. Pretty easygoing class, and a very caring professor!
