There are essays. He gives out everything you need to study for via thesis statements and it helps a lot.

hiii honestly super doable! the essays are usually based off of statements given ahead of time so prepare for ALL of them (like you would in Theo or Philo orals).
for the objective type, like everyone said, read the readings hehe.
tip - make a class reviewer. I think so many of us got an A or a B+ as our final grade in the course cause we studied together. good luck!more

I loveeeeee sir AC!!
He’s so funny and I genuinely enjoyed his classes. Also, he gives a LOT of bonus points for his exams as in A LOT. We got bonus points if we could name people in our class (since we were from diff courses an blocks). As well as movie/theater play reviews as bonus opportunities. At the end of each exam, he also gives bonus point questions (around 10!) about pop culture or random history facts. All my bonus points lowk accumulated to like 15 points alone
Just remember to READ the READINGS! All the answers are there. He even gives out a list of questions that could pop up in the exam in advance. Citations and naming authors is v important too ( i think it’s a part of the rubrics ). Study groups helped a lot since we would just answer all the qs beforehand and review the answers in case they’d show up in the exam.
Overall, he’s a really fun prof!!more

I love Sir AC!
Most important tip: READ THE READINGS!
If you did that, you’ll be fine. Put critical and interesting points! Make your essay comprehensive and thought-provoking :))
Ps: I’d love to take sir ac again as my histo prof lolmore

had them for bioethics this semester! here’s my thoughts. tl;dr: take them! the course is really insightful & there are only a few requirements.
📌 LECTURES
- they both use and upload their powerpoints. they also upload the readings for the modules, but i personally didn't read it because the powerpoints are already comprehensive
- sir ivan & sir ac usually takes turns in giving lectures! some meetings it would be sir ivan, other meetings it would be sir ac
- sir ivan is really clear & concise when discussing the powerpoint so i suggest listening to him so that there’s less content to study/review for
- sir ac’s lectures are a bit draggy (especially for me who has a short attention span) but you can really tell that he's passionate about the topic!
📌 REQUIREMENTS
- for the semester, we had: 2 reflection papers, 4 quizzes, 1 infographic/poster, 1 annotated bibliography, 1 final research paper
- the reflection papers are based on a question regarding the module (e.g.: “Are the Nazi experiments a necessary evil for the Nuremberg Code and Declaration of Helsinki?”). there’s no page or word limit so it’s really just you sharing what you know based on the module
- the quizzes are every after end of the module. it’s onsite & purely multiple choice (i don't know if that’ll change this semester) but the content per module is pretty long so i suggest to start studying a few days before the exam.
- for the final project, we (randomized groupings, no peer evals) had to choose a historical case study with a bioethical issue and create an annotated bibliography about it. after that, we also had to make an infographic and a full blown research paper about it (10 pages minimum). these three constitutes 50% of your grade, while the quizzes are 25% and the reflection papers are 25%
📌 GRADING
- honestly, i didn't know my class standing until the end of the semester because apart from the quizzes and annotated bibliography, they didn't release any of the scores
- however, from what i saw, sir ac tends to grade higher than sir ivan! i'm not sure what sir ivan was looking for in the reflection paper, but he graded a lot of people within the line of 8 😅 meanwhile, sir ac was generous enough to grade people 89 and above. tbh, better to ask what sir ivan wants to see in the beginning of the class!
- overall, i liked this class because the topics are interesting and i learned a lot. B+ able but A-able if you know sir ivan’s standards!more
positiveHISTO 11
I had Sir AC for HISTO 11 (online, unfortunately). You are in good hands. You can easily tell he is passionate about the subject, which is a HUGE plus for me, imo, because it made the lecture so much more enjoyable and engaging.
For HISTO 11, I recall having 3 major assessments in the form of essays (2 source analyses, 1 critical review of a primary source). I always, always looked forward to his comments! Though do keep in mind he is very particular about citations.
You will learn a ton from him. Enjoy!more
positiveMKTG 111
Hi! not sure if this will help but I’m currently taking Ms Pi for MKTG 111: Marketing Management.
She’s a new prof this school year but I really enjoyed her class! she likes to discuss modules in detail and give real life cases/examples (mostly her experience which helped me a lot to understand the lessons) she is also very approachable and open to questions and consultation (esp about our final which was a mktg plan)
there are quizzes and assignments per module but it is doable naman! she announces all of them in advance. if you miss a quiz, she gives 1 alternative assessment (but pls dont take this for granted)
grading wise, she is very generous but still a hard earned A.
overall, really great prof! would take her class again 🙂more
