His class is very hard. Study and you will do fine. I thought he was a good teacher, you just have to work hard in his class. His lectures are interesting and informative. Just pay attention.

You cannot breeze through his class-you need to do what you are told or you won't pass. I liked him even thouhg it was pretty difficult-I still managed with a C.

really easy...just listen and do the work.

Mr. Moniz method of teaching is very odd. There is a field trip required for this class, which I thought was fun. His lecture will not prepare you for his very difficult test. About 2-4 essays are due for the whole semester, which was fairly easy. Lastly,a presentation which you must do the research to get good grade.Provides enough extra credit..

He is very clear and does not test on dates which takes some of the stress out of the class. If you listen to the lecture, take notes and do the reading you will pass the class. Although different than your usual teacher he has his own style and it works for him. I think that he is a great teacher and if I have another history requirement I will be taking one of his classes.

I took his telecoarse class...he's not easy, but I enjoyed his lectures. You need to study, take notes, watch the video, do your essays and read! I did ok on his tests and ended up getting a B. I'm taking Hist 7 with him this Fall 06.

This guy blew me away. At first seems very strict, he is just serious about teaching, and expects the same. Captivating lectures were filled with conviction and came to life, constantly relating to current events. Appealed to all learning styles. Diverse assignments. Oral presentations for auditory, field trips for kinesthetic, papers for visual.

Amazing teacher...he knows in depth everything he teaches, not just lecture out of the book...very passionate, not the easiest class but got me VERY interested in history...good sense of humor, way more flexible than he comes off as, class based on 3 tests, 3 papers, and a few quizzes. take this class in person, you'll get the most out of it!

Rick Moniz is an awesome teacher!

Great teacher.... Love the Discussions, Quizes, and essays.... I acually learned something on blackboard...

Great teacher, take this class if you value your education. If you plan on transferring to a four year college he prepares you. I received A's in both classes (History 7,8) and hot damn I actually learned something on blackboard.

Very Good Teacher. I took his online class and I learned a lot. great class for people who come to college to learn. He is the first Blackboard teacher that i actually learned something from, this is my 7th blackboard class so that should tell you something

He is a pretty easy going guy, but if you take his online class it is ALOT of reading and writing. Every assignment is an essay I swear!

he is a good teacher but he looks kinda scary (creepy) but just do the work which is easy and yo will pass.

A lot of work, but it's easy and from the book. I took the class online and it was a lot of postings and work.

took the online course in Spring 2007. Easy course, yes lots of essays and reading quizes are easy all are open book. Will take another class from him again

This guy is hilarious. Tough/strict teacher, but totally fun to be in his class. Tests are easy format (mult. choice, matching) but you have to REALLY know your subject. Includes essays and field trips.

One of the best teachers I have EVER had in my life. Really cares about the students if THEY care about learning. Had the pleasure of having him in 7th and 8th grade and in college. Really fun teacher and lets you speak out your comments. Wants you to participate so he knows you're learning.

I enjoyed his class very much. It was an on-line class and I loved it!! You have to do your part in order to get the grade that you want. Answered my questions/e-mails quickly and in a timely manner.

It's a fun class! He gives extra credits. There are videos to watch and write about. Exams are average... If you studied, then you'll pass. FYI: He does not accept late comers.

Mr Moniz is an easy History teacher.His tests can be taken at home online but there is a time limit to it.Also,he gives a lot of extra credit points via reading books and writing reaction papers on the videos you watch.Aside from that, he also is a great teacher that he allows you become interested in subject.

I took his online History class. Yes I will tell you it is a lot of work but if you put your time to do the work and really study the material then this class shouldn't be a problem. If you are a slacker well then good luck! You have one week to complete the exam he gives you and you can use your history book. If you have TIME then go for it! :)

Easy class not too much work but every week tests were hard! But I guess easy to pass..

This is not an easy class, but you get to watch a lot of cool documentaries and he's willing to help you if you ask for it. He acts like the book is important but I hardly touched it...all online and open book tests, lots of writing though so if you hate writing don't take it. I enjoyed him and his class overall.

Mr. Moniz is a great instructor. If you do the work he assigns, you will get a good grade. Read the textbook on your own time...just make sure you read it. There was one novel to read; "In Dubious Battle." Unfortunately, the book bored many students, but you do need to write an essay about it so READ IT! And do all the other work too!

mr moniz is one of the great instructor I ever had. He was very clear, his abilities to explain the History was awesome. I totally loved his class. There is many chances of getting extra credit by doing extra work.

I really liked Professor Moniz during my semester, Fall 2014. Although, my class is online he seems like a great guy. I do have to say that I was really confused at first and that tests were really difficult for me. BUT, if you pay attention and dedicate time to this class, you will pass! But overall a good class, & books were interesting. :)

He is a very passionate about history! His tests are hard, but if you have the time to read the chapter twice you can get an easy A If you only read once you can still manage to get a decent grade if you do well on your essays and participate on the discussion board.

I'm not sure why people are hating on Mr. Moniz. I personally like his teaching style. I took him in person before and online this semester. He does almost all the work on Blackboard, but you do need to read the textbook. Keep up with the weekly discussion boards and tests and it's a great class. Slack off, and you'll be hurting yourself.

Good Teacher, Clear grading policy, Easy quizzes and papers. Tells you exactly what you need to know and what you need to do to pass the class.

I have nothing to say than Thank you !! He is the best history techer, the way he explains historical events is just awesome! I'm a person who used to hate history, but Mr. Moniz get me interested about this phenomenal subject! There was no history class day in which I wouldn't learn something new! Thank you Teacher!. You gotta work hard for that A

Very clear and straightforward instructor. Definitely makes you work for the grade, but appreciates your efforts too. The quizzes are not so easy, and participation in DB is a must.

When you first get into the class, you will think OMG there is so much reading. But if you're smart enough, there is a way for an easy A. His test are online and you can use anything. You're allowed to use your book, the internet, whatever, but it's timed. We posted every week in the discussion board and was totally easy.

Mr. Moniz has a great combination of lecture, documentaries, homework, and tests. Those combination keeps it from been boring. I love US history and this class did not let me down.

I took Professor Moniz Spring 2017 and plan to take him again Summer 2017. He is a wonderful teacher and not afraid to share his opinion. There are few questions in regards to his expectations, when things are due, or how you are graded. He explains everything in great detail. All you have to do is make sure you read his explanations thoroughly.

Easiest online class for general classes out of the way. Took his HIS7 and HIS 8 online classes. Buy a membership to biology forums and you'll A every online test. He gives plenty of time for his easy essays, and you do 1-2 discussion posts every week, no word minimum, no replies, FINALLY. GREAT CLASS, I'd take again if I had to. Don't buy book!

Professor Moniz is an easy going teacher. If you are looking to take a history class, for your IGETC requirements and are taking online classes, I recommend Moniz. Yes, the textbook is a prime source of your homework and other assignments, so please make sure to have that ready to go for class. His course is homework and test dependent.

My first online class and I was scared because it was History .I began taking the class very unsure if online was a good choice .Once the course began everything was easy to follow . Videos and lectures followed up by our responses was really easy to follow all throughout the course .

I took his online history 7 class and I loved it! Monez is a critical thinker, who is not afraid to speak his mind on the corruption in the politics. I learned so much from his lectures which indeed opened my mind. He truly teaches the REAL history!!! His class is test and discussion based, one question paper on Douglas, and one 5 page essay.

The grading is straight forward, do your work and you'll get credit. He does not make you post replies to other students but your discussion responses do need to be thoughtful so reading your chapters will help. Hes a great instructor and he made history enjoyable, I would definitely reccomend him !

Tough teacher, but he cares about the content of the course. He cares that his students are aware of what is going on in modern politics, and how it relates to the past. You must read the books in order to pass, but you will only walk away more knowledgeable. Wish all teachers had his diligence.

This professor is 5 star! His course provides information at level of understanding. His expectations are perfect for college students! The work is challenging but also rewarding! The knowledge/materials he provides is amazing! As long as you are doing your work checking in frequently you will pass with any grade that YOU work for! I love history.

Professor Rick Moniz will reply back to you emails when taking his online history 7 class. The syllabus and calendar are very clear on what assignments are due and when. You will have to read 1-2 chapters, do 1-2 chapter quizzes and a discussion post weekly. He takes the discussion post very serious. 2 essays also. I really enjoyed the class.

I really liked this class, the professor made it enjoyable for someone who is not the biggest fan of history. I like how he provided pictures of himself at major monuments that related to what we were learning. Super inspirational! I thought the syllabus and grading criteria was clear, if you are confused just message him, he replies fast!

Prof Moniz is definitely one of the most competent professors at Chabot. He is passionate about history and his lectures are amazing. His syllabus is pretty straightforward and he lets you take any 10 quizzes, open book, no final test. He does require you to write papers, read, but his grades are fair and he always gives his feedback. Great prof!
