Hi 18: Mr. Neville Jay Manaois

Subject: Hi 18 – Western History

General Advice: If you see a professor who is walking around with a helmet inspired by 300, then you’ve seen Mr. Manaois. He’s not a good teacher… he’s the best.

Teaching Style: Presents with a lot of powerpoints and shares life anecdotes. He knows how to keep the class awake and his humor is witty. His flow of discussing lessons can be somewhat disorganized but he makes up for it by making himself accessible during consultation hours.

Requirements Level: Heavy (a lot preparations and group projects outside class)

Study Habits: He gives handouts about a week before the long test, so be sure to browse through them and reread if necessarily, since he loves taking question items from the readings and copying to them to the test verbatimly. Do these properly, and then prepare even a decent to mediocre presentation for the Group Photoshoots and the Battle of Bellarmine Field and you are good to go.

A-able Factor (1-Easiest, 5- Hardest): 1 (Yes, the requirements are heavy, but the counterbalancing effect is that an A becomes more possible to attain.)
