presents German history well. Lecture heavy but, interesting. Weekly reading/response assigments maybe 5 questions. Grades fairly but will take off points for late work. Requires a research paper, gives great feedback & chance to improve. If you do well enough on the paper your final will be only 4 IDs (you won't have to do the take home essay)

Marcuse was great. Really knowledgeable guy and his lectures were a lot of fun. Projects/assignments were also a lot of fun to do research on and I genuinely enjoyed doing them. Great guy and great class, I highly recommend.

Marcuse is one of those guys who chances are is cooler than you. Did his bachelors in Physics and here he is teaching History, which he is excellent at. Great lectures and I liked how he has students do 8 mini assignments in place of a midterm. Assignments are usually very manageable and no reason why one should not do well in Marcuse's class.

Professor Marcuse is very nice. You can tell he cares about what he is teaching and is very knowledgeable. However, he is so boring. His classes made me exhausted. Grades very harshly. Relies on six journal entries, which can be rough. The final is an essay at home and an in-class identification exam. Attendance based on in-class iclicker questions

Decent... felt like grading criteria for journals was unclear and there was a TON of reading, however, the final was reflection-based and felt deceptively easy.

The material for this class was really interesting and I enjoyed reading some of the readings such as Maus, but Marcuse himself is a flawed professor. He uses iClicker (mileage may vary), there is a lot of reading and books, and his lectures can sometimes drag, meaning that he doesn't cover all the material he wants to. Not difficult, but a hassle.
