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
