Reviews of professor Alejandro Reuss

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I really was not interested in the topic and the reading were really boring, at one point we read something from the UN on immigration that was very long and repetitive. I think its a class you have to be into the topic in order to be okay because the material is very dry and you have to interact with it a lot for discussion posts and papers

In my opinion, this professor gives way too much homework, he expects us to do readings with 32 pages that literally has like 12 point fonts in a day for next lessons discussions. Every week would be a different reading that has no less than 30 pages. It's rough and I wouldn't be here if not for my gen ed requirement.

Engages the class well, lectures are very informative and interesting, and the readings are very relevant to the assignments. I learned more in this class than I did at any other UMB class so far. Somewhat of a tough grader, but you have the chance to resubmit your papers after receiving his critiques of your first draft.

I loved this professors teaching style. Make sure you do the readings (which he provides) since you are only graded on a presentation, midterm, and final. Alejandro makes the lectures interesting and engaging. He is very relevant and is truly interested in you learning. If my major allowed I take another of his courses!

Labor&Working Class History. I enjoy history and am a union rep at my work. I Took a short semester summer class online to fulfill core requirement. weekly posts, 3 papers 1000 - 1500 words. Lots of reading, fair grader, honest feedback on papers. I found the class above average. Not difficult, Do the work, you're good.

Great professor, knows his things. Isn't like other professors who read off power points. As long as you do what he assigns and pay attention you'll not only do great but get a lot out of his class !

not that bad but just talks about really boring readings the entire class. only graded on one presentation, a few essays and a one point weekly homework assignment. Pretty strict and serious so would not take one of his classes again.

Forced to take this class as it was the only seminar left. I see why. It's very boring and I know Professor Reuss tried his best but this was AWFUL. Class is easy otherwise. 3 absences allowed, 3 questions (2 mc & 1 paragraph) are due per week, 2 papers written which he lets you correct, and 1 final. Gives great feedback. Long articles, just skim..
