Jarett is such a nice guy. He's extremely passionate and always super driven in class. Big emphasis on participation, he makes you fill out a participation sheet to rate yourself so be prepared to talk on readings for a good grade. Assignments were straightforward and structured. Course material was really interesting. Super super chill guy.
I loved Professor Henderson!!! He encouraged questions and discussions, and is very passionate about teaching and history. Lectures seemed very thoughtfully organized, and readings were always interesting and manageable. He's very understanding and accommodating as well, which can be rare in the history department.
Lots of group work and busy work, but that is because it was a lower division method class. Just wish he modified it a bit since everyone in the class was an upper div. J is a really nice guy, very passionate. Easy course, just lots of busywork. Prof definitely knows a lot abt the subject and cares abt your success
I've been taking 101G, which is not listed as a drop down option here. 50-100 pages of reading a week, requires hard copies and a metric ton of redundant busywork. He makes you turn in notes in an arbitrary format that undercuts annotation. As a disabled student, there is also a lot of required movement in class. Ridiculous and frustrating Prof.
3 things that rock: 1) no midterm, 2) optional final (can only increase your grade), 3) GREAT lecturer... clearly passionate and has presence when speaking 2 things that might make you reconsider taking this class: 1) super heavy on iClicker/section participation, 2) a lot of homework; history labs are sometimes tedious and seemingly unnecessary
People try to make this class much more difficult than it is. All it requires is effort to be put in and if you are unclear about something he is wonderful about getting back to you with assistance. seems intimidating during class but honestly really nice when you go to office hours
