Reviews of professor Jennifer Herrera

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Easy class, lots of video lectures each week so it is important to not fall behind.

She had lengthy instructions that took forever to get through. She is very against using outside info so you will read a lot. She is understanding but strict on her rubrics. Would recommend a full term class not a fast track as she does not account for the workload of your other classes.

Herrera is enthusiastic about History and shows her interest through different media. The lecture slides, however, are a bit irritating. She records them herself and overpowers the music. She also mispronounces historic words wrong. You'd expect that your teacher is aware of the terms she uses to teach her students in the topic she loves so much.

Professor Herrera is nice and very passionate about History. However, I took the 8 week fast track class and it was awful. The work isn't difficult, but it's a good 4-6 hours of lecture videos and around 10 assigned readings every week (don't read them). Don't take this class if you don't have to. Go to her review sessions & be ready to take notes.

Kind teacher with entertaining lectures! Tests are easy enough if you pay attention but homework is tedious and feels rewardless. However she follows very simple grading criteria and is a very easy grader.

Lectures/materials take up 6 hrs a week, and homework also takes about 5 hrs. The problem I have are the exams which consisted of about 5 essays which you only had 2HOURS to write ALL OF THEM but she locked previous modules so you can't go back and your old stuff even though its supposed to be open note. Horribly laid out, would never take again.

She is one of the worst professors that I have had. Took 2 of her classes (HIST 140/HIST 141), and this course was more difficult than my 4-yr. She is very lecture heavy and can't pronunce certain words correctly (ironic, since it's a history classs), she closes modules for midterm and finals. The average for the final was an 18%. RUN AWAY!
