Reviews of professor John Straussberger

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Straussberger is pretty nice and his lectures can either be really boring or interesting. The readings are really long and they're needed because you need to answer the group discussions in class. He's a tough grader when it comes to essays, but he gives really good feedback.

He is genuine, relatable and open about his life and experiences. You must Read his material or you will sit in silence with nothing to talk about (awkward).He will work with you if you work for him. His tests are quite difficult and he does read papers. make sure put in effort. Ultimately, his charisma and supportive personality made learning fun

I took critical race theory with him, he is a nice guy but the class was VERY liberal. Your grade is 50% of reflections, they are easy just annoying. He gives reading for every class and most of the times he gives a short quiz about it. As long as you are proactive, you will pass. He accepts late work!! he only takes of 1/3 of a letter grade per da

Really tough class but really passionate about history. Lots of long readings and the entire class is basically about discussing the readings. Gets really boring after the first week or two. Grades essays pretty hard, but homework is easy. Easy to contact outside of class. I wouldn't recommend taking this class unless you love history or for credit

Really nice and caring dude. Very passionate about his work and wants you to learn. Read the textbook, it's actually pretty interesting and read the articles he posts and you'll do fine. Papers are a big portion of your grade but they're not too hard. Discussions are easy, and no "stated" minimum word count. If you put in effort he doesn't care.
