HIST164C . Majewski J D 6 Months Ago

Majewski is my all-time favorite History professor! As a HPPL major a lot of my classes can feel boring and unengaging at times as the lectures aren't interesting but I show up to all of his classes because he is such a great speaker. The reading isn't necessary but helps make writing the papers a lot easier. Also can turn in notes for extra credit

Professor Majewski is a blessing of a man. He is very clear and well spoken in his lectures, and he will give students opportunities to succeed. I took HIST 164C for my American History Requirement. All assignments were take home (not hard at all) and he recorded Friday lectures, plus he was ok with ChatGPT if you follow his guidelines and rules.

I love professor Majewski! Great slides and lecture format, made our Friday lecture recorded, and gave clear grading criteria for papers. Understand the broad historical concepts in the course and you'll do well.

He's a chill guy and offers plenty of extra credit opportunities. The textbook was a bit expensive so keep that in mind. Otherwise, a pretty great class.

Majewski was a wonderful teacher and super interesting guy to learn history from. Class had only 3 papers and no final which was amazing, he also made Friday classes online which is nicer than 99% of teachers. Only thing was TA was not very friendly and she expected way too much out of section, way too harsh of a grader imo. But Majewski is great!

Majewski was great! I loved this course and would definitely take a class taught by him again.

The professor has amazing lectures that keep my attention the entire time. The only issue is that your entire grade is based on 3 papers and my TA graded pretty harshly. I guess it depends on which TA you get though. Overall great class.

I loved Majewski so much. He even came to my section and discussed with students which was really cool and unlike any class I've had. He really cares about the students and puts time into his lectures. He also has no midterm/final and made the Friday class on Canvas so students didn't have to come in. 100/10 would take again.

Dr. Majewski is one of my favorite professors. I've taken a few other courses with him and I plan on taking as many as his classes as I possibly can. Interesting readings, paper requirements are clear and graded fairly. Can't say enough good things about him.

Class graded by 2 essays and 2 short reading responses (Final essay was cancelled due to TA strike). Fair amount of reading but the material was interesting and his lecturing style is easy to understand.

Professor Majewski has been my favorite professor so far at UCSB he is so caring and always has his students best interest at heart. Some ta's grade a little harshly, but I think getting a B in this course is super achievable.
