~ History 102gm, Medieval People: EarlyEurope and its Neighbors, 400-1500

 

William Berelson, Earth Sciences

“Professor Berelson’s class helped me understand the cultural and historical context of my own life

so much that I am going to think about incorporating green ocean saving designs in all of my future projects.  No seriously.  I intend to do that!”

~ Earth Science 107Lg, Oceanography

 

Frank Corsetti, Earth Sciences

“This course has been the best G.E. experience I’ve had so far.  I learned a lot about geology and can apply it to my personal life and things around me.  God job Corsetti!”

Brett Sheehan, History

“Professor Sheehan’s lectures were highly engaging and inspiring.  He taught us to think rather than regurgitate and related course material to real life connections.  If he taught all the history courses, I would major in history.”

~ History 106g, Chinese Lives: An Introduction to Chinese History

 

David St. John, English

“Professor St. John was amazing!  He provided a great learning atmosphere with great choice of poetry and guest poets.  We learned literary and artistic analysis of poems and related them to our own lives thus prompting me to revisit every aspect of my life and giving me a whole new perspective.”

Michel Martínez, Political Science
