Professor Marcuse is very nice. You can tell he cares about what he is teaching and is very knowledgeable. However, he is so boring. His classes made me exhausted. Grades very harshly. Relies on six journal entries, which can be rough. The final is an essay at home and an in-class identification exam. Attendance based on in-class iclicker questions

Decent... felt like grading criteria for journals was unclear and there was a TON of reading, however, the final was reflection-based and felt deceptively easy.

The material for this class was really interesting and I enjoyed reading some of the readings such as Maus, but Marcuse himself is a flawed professor. He uses iClicker (mileage may vary), there is a lot of reading and books, and his lectures can sometimes drag, meaning that he doesn't cover all the material he wants to. Not difficult, but a hassle.

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.
