Professor Henderson was so fun. His classes were always entertaining. It is a lot of reading, and you must submit notes twice a week with a minimum of 1200 words based on readings. It can be a lot, but it's not that bad. Final is a fun project. Weekly reflections. Need to participate in Canvas posts and class. You rate ur own participation. Easy A.

Prepare to do lots of readings and engage in class. But Jarett is one of my fav profs at UCSB bc he genkunely cares about students and enjoys teaching. he's very personable and i recommend getting to know him!

Jarrett is an awesome lecturer! He makes the information interesting and digestible, and the workload was totally reasonable and manageable. TAs always deducted a few points from every assignment, which was frustrating. But attend class, participate in section, and earn easy points from completion-based assignments and you'll be fine.

Clearly very passionate, great guy. Very iclicker heavy, section attendance and participation matters as it is part of your grade. No midterms and optional final that can only increase your grade. 3 labs, sections up til week 7 are reading heavy. Grades may also be TA dependent which kind of sucks. Overall fair class and it's not bad. Recommended.

Professor Jarett was a great. Loved taking his class and it was super chill and easy. Stay on top of the section readings and lecture notes. He does give his TA's a lot of power when grading. My TA, Christmas, was so bad. Her grading was horrible and feedback was little to none. However, Jarett was awesome and super passionate about his teachings.

Honestly one of the best professors I got this quarter. He is very chill. Yeah there's a lot of reading to do, but it's a history class, of course there is. Overall cool guy, great TAs, good lectures, would take again.

Passionate professor. Sections just depend on your TA, but there is a decent amount of reading for every section, and be prepared to actually read or at least heavily skim because the freewrites go into detail. Participation in section definitely matters, so get ready to talk. 3 labs and 1 final project but just pay attention and you will be fine.

Jarett is such a great professor!! Loved this class and him. Iclicker mandatory lecture, a couple fun and interesting history labs, graded free writes in section, and a project at the end of the quarter. No midterm or final, there is a easy quiz during lecture though. Great professor and great lecture.

Very energetic professor, extremely responsive, and knows what he's doing. Love Jarret. Lots of mandatory notes though! Don't procrastinate and you'll succeed easily.

Very sweet guy, and very clear grading requirements. I think the only way you can do badly in this class is if you don't do the assigned work. There's a lot of reading but its helpful and stays consistent throughout the quarter so once you get a routine going its no big deal.

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

Obviously a great guy, and knows that people take his class just for the GE. Good amount of reading but he made the final OPTIONAL, like you only took it if you wanted to boost your grade.

very nice guy, lots of homework but its super easy. he grades assignments on a pass no pass basis so be sure to submit them! easy GE class 10/10

Prof Henderson is super passionate about what he teaches! Amazing perspective of World History, interesting easy readings that keep your attention. You can choose how much work you put into the class. Make sure to keep up with the overarching concepts taught in the class, not necessary to memorize super-specific info.

Wish I didn't take this class. He's very passive aggressive course becomes a lot harder than it needs to be. SO many silly assignments with confusing instructions. Even the TA's didn't know why he assigns certain things. I got an A, but was the most insufferable class ever. IClicker heavy. only good thing was learning about residential schools

The actual material is not that difficult; the lectures aren't too hard to grasp, but there are just a lot of history labs, section readings, and there are 2 historical analysis papers that required a bit of research. But other than that, it was eh. Very likeable prof, I'm just terrible at history so I wasn't the biggest fan of this class.

I thought this class would be interesting, but I almost fell asleep every class. Jarett clearly cares about what he teaches, but his lectures are just so boring. There's a lot of reading every week, and you have to participate in sections which sucks. Grading is easy though. Would love to be Jarett's friend, but not his student again.

I was excited for this class considering a few good reviews on here, but five weeks in and I'm already dying and lost. There is no structure to his lectures and that ends up making the content feel extremely confusing since there is no clear topic that we ever focus on. The readings are way too long and the work load is way too much. DO NOT TAKE IT

Avoid this course unless you need to take it. Professor's passionate about the course but the workload is a lot. Weekly responses, section, podcast quizzes, time-consuming lab projects, more blog inputs, and a 3,000 total word final. All graded oddly. The message of this course could have been driven home without half of the assignments.
