Reviews of professor Jasper Verschoor

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you take this class, you will have weekly summations which are weekly 300 word summaries that focus on the arguments of the essays you read. His weekly lectures were slow and sometimes unhelpful. His recorded lectures, however, were the only ones I needed for the midterm and final. He is a solid teacher, he will grant extensions if needed.

Amazing professor, he definitely is passionate about History, so it makes the learning experience fun. Only people who'll say differently likely didn't pay attention in class. He's reasonable, caring, and makes his class fun, would take him again for other classes if I could. Amazing teacher!!!

Prof. Verschoor was really great throughout the entire quarter. The work is mostly, if not exclusively, writing but I think it's a generous amount and Prof. Verschoor is quite fair in grading. Was really kind and understanding whenever I spoke to him, and answered questions that I asked directly or included in my work. Would really recommend!

weekly reading w summation(300 words).posts lectures on canvas but you also have to attend class to hear lectures. his lecture slides won't help you- there's only title and headings of the topic, you'll have to catch a lot of what he's saying for quizzes. I don't think he prepares his lectures- often get sidetrack, switches between his sentences

Grade was mostly participation and some short papers. Lectures are interesting. Participation is necessary, the textbook is not. All required information is in the lectures, so take notes. No homework except for a few short readings every week. Easy grading, but don't expect 100s. Pay attention, submit things on time, and you will be fine.

Follow along with lectures and you'll be fine. Finals and midterms are reasonable and not tedious.

Grade was based off of participation and three tests during the quarter. Tests were reasonable and all topics were covered during the lectures. Lectures were interesting. The prof. is very knowledgeable. Notes are highly necessary, as is attendance on lecture days. No homework, kind grading. Easy, fun class best for those who enjoy history.

Really good class. You have to pay attention to his lectures, but they're not difficult. He cares a lot about including Native American and slave perspectives. Most of the reading he assigns is very interesting if you like history.

The lectures are really entertaining but he doesn't post them anywhere so try not to miss class. Participation matters a lot (online or in person) & he doesn't give out 100s for it. Usually he doesn't give 100s on tests either. There are 2 summation essays and 2 exams. Though it was lots of studying I'd take this class again.
