Amazing professor!!! Everyone should take his class. Lectures are extremely informative and interesting - lots of reading but you learn to skim
A good professor. Not bad, but lectures were pretty boring. His slides are super hard to follow bc they have no text on them and he goes off on tangents pretty often. I did learn a lot and he is very knowledgeable, but it was difficult to pay attention. Only graded by 2 short written exams (questions given beforehand) and a MC final.
I think the quality of Professor Juergensmeyer's class really suffered with the transition to a virtual format. It's pretty clear that he cares about his students and is super kind, but I really felt like I was basically self-teaching with the readings in his class. The readings were all part of a required textbook, and they weren't too bad.
Was so excited to get to work with Juergensmeyer as an honors undergrad. Unfortunately the misogyny I experienced personally as his student, and later learned was well known amongst his other female students, left me disillusioned with this legend. He even misplaced my final & accused me of not completing it! It took a TA to correct my grade :/
Professor Juergensmeyer is such a nice guy! He makes the class really interesting and easy to understand. Lectures can be a little bit boring at times but he doesn't post his slides online so it'll benefit you to go to class and take notes. The extra credit really helps your final grade and all the extra credit opportunities were super interesting!
dude is so chill
