He's a great teacher, very knowledgeable
I liked the effective use of time, the computer quizzes (which encourage repetition without being boring), the vide clips and the jump up and down enthusiasm of the teacher. This class is my favorite history class I have ever taken. And I love history.	I think this class is pretty well worked out and complete.
Everything (Mostly I enjoyed Mr. Escobar's enthusiasm for subject. I completely enjoyed the web page... the computer quizzes saved my butt! Thank you Joe for taking the complicated subject and making it swallowable.	Class is perfect!
The teacher's ability to use every second interestingly @ the same time, mixing up styles of teaching.
Very enjoyable class with a very good teacher.
Joe Escobar was very thorough with the material.
Good lectures	Hated the PSD document
The material was nice to study from.	Reminder to take quizzes
The discussions
Great teacher
The information was presented in a way to give you a really different view of history.	Spice it up a little - breaktime - give students a minute to wake up
Joe has great lecturing skills and hilarious sense of humor	I guess I'n not as gung-ho about straight lecture, but I lived through it.
I found it very interesting - it dispelled some misconceptions I had
I liked learning about history. It is really interesting.

The class was very informative. Material was presented in an interesting way.
The way the prof taught the class with video and lecture	More discussion
Joe's thorough knowledge of subject and visual aids.	None
I like the way the instructor related the history to today.	N/A
	Maybe more time on some of the stuff
The presentation, the teacher, and the way things were set up
Class was interesting. Instructor provided several object in class for us to see that were from this history period like King Cotton	Great class
Very well taught, Escobar is smart and cool	Overall I think it was a great class
I like that it forces us to come to class or else we won't learn.
He made it easy to learn the material and he let us do the work around our schedule
This class made it easy to learn the material. Also I liked the fact that there was a class website - made my life easier.	Nope - everything Escobar did made this class enjoyable and easy to learn.
Weekly quizzes helped me to understand material. Class time organized very efficiently
The requirements and grading system was specifically stated in the beginning
Escobar has a lot of passion for the subject and was full of information, he gave us our money's worth for the class!
I like the integration of the computer giving me more freedom with my time. I liked Escobar's enthusiasm and way of making things interesting with a sense of humor and relating issues.
I found it interesting, fun, and overall enjoyable. I also found the computer quizzes very effective and useful in regards to methods used in other courses.
I liked how organized Mr. Escobar was. As a class, we knew when things were due, when tests were and his expectations. It was clearly stated inthe syllabus.	Review all material before Final! Although Escobar did give out review sheets, it would have been nice to hear it verbally.
The teacher and the subject material were both great.
I enjoyed the teaching, lectures, and level of work. The class ran smoothly and gave a very good overview of history from 1840-1900.	I loved your webpage usage. It works great for students and I believe that every teacher should have a web page for their class, saves paper, time, and resources.
