He teaches very well.

very good professor. Very clear. easy tests. good notes.very helpfull. I Higly recommend this professor.

He is such a good professor, even if the subject he is teaching isn't really of your interest. He really makes the class bearable, he is very enthusiastic about what he teaches so you really learn a lot in his class. He couldn't be a better teacher if he tried. He's the best!

Mr. Avila is a very good teacher and he is laid back. He will help you to pass if you attend class though attendance is not mandatory. He teaches well and is very understandable.

Nice teacher 5day class he only held class 4 days. only two test. And extra credit attendence not mandatory easy A does not take entire class time we get out early every class

Mr. Avila is the best Ameican Heritage proffesor ever. His class is extreamly easy and attendance is not mandatory,plus he explains everything down to the point. I strongly recommend this teacher....if u dont take the class and pass something is seriously wrong with u.

If you're looking for intellectual stimulation, this class is not for you. Professor Avila is pretty simple-minded. With that said though, his class is the easiest A I've ever gotten. His tests come straight from his notes and no matter what he says, the book is not necessary.

Mr.Avila tried doing an essay exam for the first exam which made me want to get out of his class because of the numerous of potential questions compared to the actual number of question he was going to ask. Though that didn't stop me because i got a 100 on that exam. He is a good teacher though don't expect an easy A if your not going to show up.

Although Mr. Avila was the most boring professor i have ever had, his class wasn't too hard and to me he basically just spends the entire class period reading straight off his own powerpoints so i survived by tuning him out and writing everything, which got me an A. It helps to study.

super good and easy to learn from

Great class. I learned more about history than I thought I already knew. If you attend class and study you will do great in this class. He will give you what you need to know for each test. Easiest A I have ever made.

Super awesome teacher! And you actually learn a lot! He made history easy and fun to learn. He's funny and his class was always so interesting. Take him, easy A! All the tests are multiple choice except for the last one which is an essay.

take him!its a straight forward class.1st test is 5 short answer q's, the rest of the 4 are 50 multiples. the final is based on the the last few chapters (not the overall).i'd recommend u have him in the late morning or after lunch when he is not too tired,thus more funnier.

Great professor. He gives you reviews before the test so you'll be able to remember most of it with the reviews. Also, he asks questions that will be on the test during the review so don't miss out! Easy A.

excellent prof! has a TA and 2 SI leaders to help. also takes mandatory attendance,1st month for financial aid purposes and who should be dropped to make room for the waitlisters. after that (if you want) you can skip lecture and simply go for the tests, but for an A i'd attend every class because the prof is good, reviews before n after tests!

I took him for the summer!He is a great professor! He teaches by lecturing with powerpoints. He has an SI leader and give 5 points for going to his sessions! There was only 2 tests! The information is easy! He's always there if you need help!

4 Exams, NOTHING ELSE. then if you go to 5 tutorings he gives you 5 points added to your final letter grade. Easy A. I didn't even buy the textbook and got an A. He goes over everything in class and the TA's give you all the answers during tutoring. Just make sure you study! He is always down to help.

Very helpful! You will learn in his class! He gives you the opportunity to gain 5 final average points if you attend 5 SI sessions (30min or longer)to gain that A! Very punctual professor! Tests will come from lecture notes and textbook, but it's not that hard. He'll go over the exams and welcomes questions.

Hes awesome. SI sessions saved me though. my class was at 7am.

Verry easy simple class in the most part it is actually showing up and taking notes and test you get some terms to define and study each test has roughly 50 questions and is a piece of cake if you study this is a good class cause i learn and am not preasured to turn in assignements

I took him in the summer we had a midterm and final only pretty easy if you study you can get an easy A exams are all over power points, we also had SI sessions which helped me study for the exams he gives extra points if you attend the sessions as well.

Avila's class is PowerPoint after PowerPoint, his lectures some-what interesting, and attendance isn't mandatory but he quotes himself then makes it a question on tests. 4 tests, no assignments, never homework.

Class is a simple PowerPoint lecture that requires note taking. You just study the notes & voc. list he gives you, & you'll end up with an A every test. SI tutoring is also a major help on tests & gives you 5 points on you final average.You rarely use the book until the final. 4 Tests, no quizzes. Easy A class.

Hes class is simple powerpoint after powerpont. Its alot of writing and for the most part only 4 test 25% of your grade, no homework. He is really chill, he makes history really interested.

Really great professor. Very easy class.

Amazing professor. If you attend S.I sessions he gives you 5 extra points towards average. 3 tests and final is a written essay. He gives terms to know before test and also the topics for essay. Can't go wrong with Dr. Avila. Taking him for 2314 as well.

Dr. Avila is an amazing professor! All his lectures are powerpoints. Must take notes because he does not post powerpoints on blackboard. He doesn't even use blackboard. 3 multiple choice test and the final is a written exam. Book is not really necessary since all you need to know comes from the powerpoints. Tests are unbelievably easy!

He's an incredibly easy professor and made history fun. I despise history, but I actually learned in his class. The only times I didn't like his class was when his TA would give the lecture. -_-"

easy class

Extremely easy class! I took it during the summer and there was only 3 grades which were the midterm, an essay exam, and the final. He also gives up to 5 grade points into your final grade if you attend five S.I. sessions. Definitely recommend!

This prof. is great! His lectures are helpful, and he can really get you to pay attention because everything he teaches is exciting. I took American Heritage 2 at 7am, and did great! All I can say is: attending is helpful, required books were not expensive, and there were only 4 exams which were fairly easy. He is one of my new favorite professors!

So awesome!

One of the easiest classes I've taken. No homework. Grades are just based on 4 tests with the final being an essay. You don't have to go to class but I do recommend it. His lectures help a lot.

The class is an easy A if you go. Copy the PowerPoint and you will have all the notes you need. Go to the review sessions before the test; its basically the same questions with slightly different wording. He goes through the material kind of fast though, so be sure to write as he talks if you write slow. Also, the main textbook is almost never used

Kinda tough! Sure there are not many tests, but that means they count for a lot more! And the tests are extremely short! 5 question. Miss one you have an 80, 2 is a 60...

Really great professor, he makes class interesting. Attendance isn't mandatory but his lectures are very important for passing. Your grade is composed of 3 multiple choice test and the final is an essay. It is very easy to pass you just have to go listen and take notes.

Mr. Avila has great lectures. There are only four tests, each 25 percent towards your grade. Two tests from the textbook and 2 tests from little short books he assigned (Lincoln and Washington). Extra credit from attending SI session which is how I passed the class with an A. Attend the SI sessions!!

Great professor! It's an easy A as long as you study the notes from the lecture

I took it online. Responded quite fast but did not seem that happy to help when I asked advice through email. One test and assignment per week, Mid-term and Final. Sometimes little unclear grading, but altogether very doable class.

Easiest professor I've ever taken. Jokes around every now and then and is pretty relaxed. Has a PowerPoint with lecture notes that he uses for each chapter and goes into detail for each slide. Review sheet after each chapter that is pretty much identical to the quiz he will give. Takes grades on attendance so just show up and get an easy A.

It was a very easy class, he tells you what is he expects regarding assignments and quizzes. I missed one assignment and it dropped my grade from a 89 to an 84. So do the assignments!

Easy A

He is really strict when it comes to grading assignments. He asks for a specif font,color, size etc. Most of his assignments are easy, but the essays are a little more challenging. Used to give three chances to do quizzes, but in the middle of the semester changed the policies to one chance. Manageable class, just keep up with the readings.

With effort it should be an easy class

He is easy and nice. He does lectures and activities every class. You MUST read the book and take lectures notes. The quizzes can be True/False or Fill-in-the-blank. You have to attend class as it counts towards your participation grade(the book counts as participation grade). You will have to write an essay(try to go to his office to get an A).

Easy class. Loved it. Show up, pay attention, and ask questions. Sometimes you need to get into groups to read sections during class, but its helpful b/c you share the important information with each other. READ THE TEXTBOOK (need physical copy), b/c the quizzes are based on that. Show up ON TIME, as he begins immediately. DONT SKIP.

I really enjoyed Mr. Avilas class. There was a lot of reading done in class & you were expected to read some out. I never did & I finished with a B. His quizzes are very easy if you just review your notes once or recall the lectures. Attendace is mandatory but he doesnt care if you arrive late or mid-lecture. Im taking his 1302 next semester

his really easy and understanding. he always lets you out of class early. Attendance is mandatory and the set book too. His midterm was easy. You take like 5 quizzes that are easy if you read the chapters and take notes. Overall easy professor and not boring!

Textbook is mandatory. 4 quizzes 10 minutes for 10 questions. Must read chapters in order to pass quizzes. Lectures most of the time and in class group activities. If you like History you'll enjoy it.

Reading quizzes are easy 10 throughout the semester. Midterm is a paper that he provides the materials for. Final is a blue book and provides the topics to study. Attendance is mandatory

Took for 1301 and 1302. LISTEN to his lectures and you'll be good for tests! I don't understand the negative reviews, as he is VERY clear on what he wants, basically hands you exactly what you need. You'll read 2 short books. Always let's you out early & cancelled class several times. Very straightforward and reasonable!

I had Dr. Avila during the Spring semester and his class was the toughest out of all. We had weekly assignments (mostly writing assignments) and quizzes (20 questions in 10 minutes). If you want an A, you have to work for it and do everything he asks especially when it comes to formatting!

Would recommend if you are willing to work for an A.

Good teacher.

Assignments help me learn the material better. I'm learning a lot.

He is a very great professor, his work is not hard as long as you read what is needed. His grading can be a little strict but I mean he tells you how he wants things done and it makes it much simpler. He tries to make lectures fun so the class is not boring.

Good online class. Well organized.

gives good feedback; clear grading criteria

Would definitely recommend. Can't imagine anyone not getting at least a B in his online class. Learned a lot.

Great Professor, I took his class online and was really understanding because of the pandemic. At first, he grades hard but just put some sort of effort and follow his instructions and you will get good grades. Quizzes are fine if you read, and the final is mostly stuff you've read about already. You have to buy the textbook though but still good.

Good professor. Get ready to read, you'll need the book to pass the class. Took it in the Summer, but still, he's a tough grader; make sure you do exactly what the instructions from the assignments tell you to do.

you read 1 chapter ,1 quiz and assignment based on the chapter per week. He gave midterm review that had same questions on the exam. Really easy if you read the chapters.

Once a week you will have to read a chapter. The test is easy. Some of the questions that will be asked on the test are found at the end of the chapter you just read. Look up answers on Quizlet. The true or false questions should be found on google as well. You will also have to write a 1-page essay for every chapter, but it's not hard I promise!

He responded to all of my emails the same day I sent them. He is strict but fair. He gave me several deadline extensions on assignments. All I had to do was ask. Quizzes come directly from the chapter reading. The weekly assignments had us apply what we learned in some way. This is an onine class and he met with us for office hours on Zoom.

There is an essay every week that is at least a page minimum. Dont let that discourage you, once the weeks pass you get the hang of it. He gives clear feedback just make sure you answer the questions properly!!

This course with professor Avila is not incredibly difficult but you will have an assignment and quiz weekly. The textbook is already provided and assignments are 60% of your overall grade. No lockdown browser, but everything is timed.

Professor Avila is excellent; if you follow instructions, you Are good. He replies fast to emails and helps the best way he can. He does not use the proctored browser for his assignments, which mainly fulfills! In this class, you will learn; if you want a Professor that does not care, then he is not the right one.

He tells you what assignments are due and what he expects from the essays you write. The chapters are easy to read, but you should definitely make time to go through them. It was an asynchronous course for me, so I had control over the way I was learning the material. Helpful hint: manage your schedule to help you get things done on time!

I really liked this class for the reason that it was pretty chill and assigns 1 assignment once a week which is either a quiz, discussion or essay.

Class consists of an essay one week, discussion the other week followed by a quiz. The first essay I did horrible but I got feedback and from then I have been doing amazing. He has someone grade the essays for him and they expect a certain format which isn't difficult once you have it down. A textbook is provided for us. Reading required

Super easy, tons of reading, very organized. He has us read one chapter a week, and revolves between essays, discussion boards, and quizzes. He responds to emails fast. He has everything set up so you can plan way ahead. The class is super simple, and the grading criteria is super clear so it's easy to get good grades. I'm taking his next course.

Super easy class. There is a weekly quiz and an additional assignment which is either a discussion post, an essay, or a KWL chart. Most weeks it's a discussion post. All the answers are in that weeks chapter. He gives super detailed instructions so its impossible to do the assignments wrong. He will check over assignments if you email him.

Took this class online and it was pretty easy. Quizzes on each chapter from the textbook (he provides online pdf) and he gives either a quiz, discussion, or essay on them. The quizzes and discussions are quiet easy as long as you read, and the essays are just 1 page, he only gave a 3 page essay once. Overall great and easy class!

All assignments were due on Thursdays and they were pretty easy. It was either a discussion, essay or quiz. Only 1 assignment per week. Not hard to get a A/B in his class.

Even though everyone says he's harsh and mean, he cares for students. He will give you deadline extensions ONLY if you let him know with time.His essays can be quite confusing but if you email him politely he will help you. Every week there is one assignment (a quiz, essay, or discussion). He's not that bad honestly, just strict.

The deadline for each assignment is usually Thursday night. Be on the lookout when he posts the midterm and final since he gives a short window to complete them. Assignments were mostly discussion boards and quizzes. Not a tough grader at all. He responds to emails and his instructions for all assignments are straightforward, including a rubric!

Mr. Avila is great. Every Thursday at 10 pm we have either a discussion, quiz, or essay not including finals. Let him know ahead of time if there are complications with your work. He can be a tough grader once you first start out but once you know how he likes it done you will get A's. I recommend him. Just remember to read and ACTUALLY try.

Took Dr. Avila for History 1 and 2. Easy assignments, just think and provide details to support your argument. Weekly work, but manageable. Avoid procrastination and you'll get an A. TA's give feedback, but grading can be inconsistent at times. Do not listen to the negative reviews. You don't have to be book smart for an A. Your book is your key.

Professor Avila has a structured grading system, but if you stay on top of assignments and use study tools like unstuck study, it's manageable. Strict but fair - just don't expect any leniency on deadlines.

Mr.Avila is a great prof, lots of people complain about him but they are lazy. Just do your work.

Good guy, but maybe too sarcastic just do the work and use the Writing Center instead of Grammarly. Grammarly will hit the AI detectors Honestly anll my liberal anrts profs are done with AI.
