Reviews of professor Zachary Isenhower

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took Hist 201 as a mandatory credit, but I absolutely fell in love with Professor Isenhower's lectures! His class does not rely on date memorization but on the historical and cultural relevance of history and how events interact w/ one another. I took Hist 202 for fun. If you enjoy history, then this Prof. will be an absolute joy to take!

This is the worst professor I've had. He provides detailed instructions for papers, but even if you follow every guideline, you'll be lucky to get an 80%. Then, his "feedback" lacks explanation. Both the lectures & textbook are very hard to follow. He doesn't allot enough time for exams consisting of multiple choice & short answer style questions.

The class is hard but fair if you do the work. Don't expect an A just for showing up. First paper is rough, but pay attention to the feedback you'll improve and the later essays are worth more so don't panic. Lectures can be dry, but you should go. Definitely show up to office hours before you have a problem bc he cares about helping students.

Professor Isenhower is what I think of when I imagine History Professors. Knowledgeable, Quirky, and Challenging. I loved his History 202 class this semester and will definitely be taking his other classes in the future. If you are looking for an easy A, this isnt the class for you. But if you are looking to gain knowledge, look no further.

I had to drop after the second test. Hes a nice guy but a very different professor. His lectures are 100% him talking for an hour and you writing down everything he says. I even recorded the lectures and it did not help. Minimal PowerPoints. Papers were just thrown in even when the material hasnt been covered. Good luck.

Worst professor I've ever had. Grades essays harder than my english teachers. I wouldn't even try on your essays or constructed responses on tests because he finds something wrong about it even if its right. Lectures are so boring to sit through. Doesn't reply to emails and expects you to know everything. Worst class and teacher ever.

Want to get an A on a paper ? Then dont take this class . You cant write the perfect paper and still lose points for stupid things. Dont want a bunch of information thrown at you all in one time ? Then dont take this class. Only like multiple choice test ? Then dont take this class unless you want to write 4+ essay questions on each test.
