Reviews of professor Jarett Henderson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I really don't like history, but Henderson brought a really interesting perspective on the topic of world history. You can tell that he is passionate about his class and I would suggest his classes to anybody that's into history. That being said, if you don't like history, this class will be a lot of work for you.

Avoid this course unless you need to take it. Professor's passionate about the course but the workload is a lot. Weekly responses, section, podcast quizzes, time-consuming lab projects, more blog inputs, and a 3,000 total word final. All graded oddly. The message of this course could have been driven home without half of the assignments.

Not hard. Prepare for the Map Quiz that is given at the start of the class, because the professor grades it pretty hard. The essays are not difficult to write as long as you have a solid thesis and can write clearly. To be brutally honest I barely read the material but I did my work, participated, and got along fine.

Wish I didn't take this class. He's very passive aggressive course becomes a lot harder than it needs to be. SO many silly assignments with confusing instructions. Even the TA's didn't know why he assigns certain things. I got an A, but was the most insufferable class ever. IClicker heavy. only good thing was learning about residential schools

Prof Henderson is super passionate about what he teaches! Amazing perspective of World History, interesting easy readings that keep your attention. You can choose how much work you put into the class. Make sure to keep up with the overarching concepts taught in the class, not necessary to memorize super-specific info.

Yes, there is a lot of readings but if your space out the time you should be good. He is very caring for his students, provides enough information and out resources if not comfortable in speaking with him. Office hours are very useful. Very passionate about Fem studies as well! I would love to take him for upper-division courses as well.

Interesting and not trivial

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I thought this class would be interesting, but I almost fell asleep every class. Jarett clearly cares about what he teaches, but his lectures are just so boring. There's a lot of reading every week, and you have to participate in sections which sucks. Grading is easy though. Would love to be Jarett's friend, but not his student again.

The actual material is not that difficult; the lectures aren't too hard to grasp, but there are just a lot of history labs, section readings, and there are 2 historical analysis papers that required a bit of research. But other than that, it was eh. Very likeable prof, I'm just terrible at history so I wasn't the biggest fan of this class.
