Sweet professor who was really nice and accommodating to students. Attendance is iClicker based. No midterms, but weekly quizzes. Quizzes were mildly challenging as somebody who skims the reading, but drops 2 lowest scores. Final could be substituted with assignments he picked out. His lectures are a little boring but he's not a hard professor.

Professor Marcuse uses iClicker! Often, his quizzes were worded in ways that were difficult to understand. He is empathetic towards his TAs, however, oftentimes they didn't have a lesson plan before section. The class is doable, but be sure to pay attention in the lecture despite how boring it can get. He appreciates feedback. Befriend your TA!

Professor Marcuse seems like a nice guy but is not so great at teaching. His lectures are boring and low-key pointless. It has gotten to the point where the TAs have to reteach the lectures and rewrite their versions of the assignment instructions. He isn't clear on instruction, and the TAs constantly apologize and seem defeated.

Really hated this class. Lectures were terribly boring, content was not presented in a way which was engaging whatsoever. Continuously changed grading deadlines all the way through half of the quarter. Projects were unnecessarily difficult and drawn out, and some TAs are extremely harsh graders without any good reason. Avoid this class at all costs

Uses iClicker for lectures but not geotagged so I didn't go to a single one (boring). 2 papers that are easy (summarizing primary sources and an oral history paper). You can watch a movie and respond or read the textbook and take a quiz every week for weekly grade, it's very easy. Content of class was cool but its a review from high school history.

His lectures were very boring and I did not pay attention the majority of the time. We had two papers (graded very easily) and one mid-term reflection and final. I took this class as part of my general ed, it is an easy A if you're only taking it for this purpose. The professor himself is super caring and nice, he cares a lot for his students.

Marcuse is extremely nice and accommodating. I found many of the assignments to be mere busy work, but I guess that makes sense since it's a GE. Take this class for an easy A.

I would not have taken this class if it was not a major requirement. The lectures were pointless as there were no tests and paper topics were done by your own research, so the only point of going was for the attendance grade. Grading was inconsistent and he often ran long on lectures and would ramble off topic.

Love Harold. What a nice guy with an interesting life that you can learn about through his personal website. That being said, his lectures are aimless and I haven't learned anything (its currently week 5). But the quizzes are easy, and there are no in person midterms/finals.

Marcuse supplied us with some of the greatest readings I've ever had. That said, his lectures had little to no substance. Journals made me think and apply personal experience to class material. Hectic because of the strike, take this review with a grain of salt.

Take this class for an easy A if you need it because cancels out a lot GE requirements. I didn't pay attention at all, and all the quizzes you can search up on quizlet with multiple attempts. Yeah he's not a great prof but it's a GE class so I didn't really care if his teaching was good or bad.

Took this class as a GE so I already wasn't expecting to learn a lot of new stuff but I only learned from reading the textbook. Stopped going to lecture after the 3rd week and did i-Clicker from home but I heard he said the n-word in class, which is unacceptable. If you do the assignments you'll easily get an A.
