The class is boring. He lectures like he's giving a sermon. He literally speaks throughout the entire period. There's not that many assignments, which is bad if you don't do well on the tests. The tests are extremely hard. You only get 1 1/2 hours to complete 3 essay questions and 5-7 identity questions. Almost everyone failed the test each time.

While you do get a study guide cheat sheet, it's way too much work. There's about 50 ID's and he only picks 7 and you only answer 5. Same with the essay, he gives you 10 possible but only picks 2 and you only answer 1. Plus, he hardly lectures what's on the test. He spent the 1st 2 months exclusively talking about slavery. Pick someone else.

I agree. You may do great on the exams if you think you can go over the 50 identifications and 10 essay questions from the study guide in less then a week, especially if you're a full-time student. Many of them are hard to find, especially the "why" answer for each of them. And none of them are covered on lectures. Its a redicilous amount of work.

I had a love hate relationship with Professor Henningburg. Sometimes he can be nice. I can't say that I like his version of history in this class. He comes off as only wanting you to participate in the discussions if you agree with him or don't take away his shine. You can pass this class though, it's not too hard.

Prof. Heningburg is one of the most caring professors at SCC! He's a fair grader and even though he lectures every class, they're so interesting so you wont have to worry about nodding out. He says that he'll drop you after two absences, but he won't as long as you just keep him informed. The books aren't mandatory just hit the library a few times

Hands down to professor Heningburg! He's very passionate about the subject that he teaches. Make sure that your attend class because he will drop you. There are several reading assignments and test come straight from the book. You have weekly news articles to turn in and it's suggested to share in class. If you come to class you can get an A!!!

Come to class, participate(!!) and ask questions during lecture, use the powerpoints and study guides for exams, and do the extra credit.. There is no good reason NOT to get an A in this class. He explains well, and is super passionate about his teaching and students. The books are dull but important for understanding context.

Enjoyed this class! As long as you take notes during lectures from his powerpoints and do your study guides, you should do well in this class. Only a couple papers due doing the semester but theyre super easy to complete. He is very passionate and will make class interesting!

This class couldve been so much more interesting and informative if I took it with a different professor.... Keith is super blase about this class and creates the vibe that he doesnt care, which runs off greatly on everyone. Attendance from students is outrageously; he takes attendance but doesnt really care it seems. Not intersectional at all

Professor Heningburg was an absolute professor to take for his history class, ethnic studies, and any other class he is teaching. I like his learning style, only had 2 exams and that includes the final. He does have office hours and is there for his students as well. He wants the best and just do the work and reading and you should pass the class.

His lessons are straight to the point, interesting, and detailed. He understands the material so well that he easily answer all the classes questions with greater insight. He has clear grading criteria, will always help you before/after class in his office or in the classroom and is very understanding. I want to take another one of his classes!

Solid teacher, but didn't do a good job communicating outside of class. I took the class spring 2020 and he kinda went MIA after we switched online. His tests where very straightforward and mostly true false. But the major of the questions came from the reading.

This class is definitely intense, since it focuses on such a painful era in African-American history. Heningburg is the perfect professor for this course though. You can tell he's an expert, and he simultaneously commands respect while also being hilarious. Get ready to write very in-depth essays. Also, he allows note cards on the exams, thank God!

Very lecture oriented, be prepared to take a lot of notes and pay attention through the whole class time. Most of the answers on the tests are in the lecture notes, tests are all true and false questions. The grade for the class is based off tests and essays so it is very important to do well on the tests.

Don't buy the book. It was almost 300 and I never used it. He wrote the book, but what you need is with digital resource(45 for two books) and the modules. Easy class, but be prepared to read alot of chapters, watch hour long lectures or the slides of the lecture, and take test that are lengthy. Really find the time to study if you want to pass.

I am missing out on the perspective I sought this class for in the textbook and assignments for this class. Heavy reading and watching 3.5+ hours weekly. Low interaction, wish we covered more history from the perspective of the marginalized groups instead of another overview of the European/American side. I wish he showed his obvious passion more.

Very communicative and helpful whenever I had questions. There is a lot of information in this class and you need to read to do well. The paper was easy and the Tests are mainly True or False questions. Do your inquizitive assignments they're helpful and quick. A lot of info, if this class was in person I definitely would've struggled a little.

Knowledgeable, concise, passionate, & insightful professor; I learned a lot. This course requires commitment & time management to do the work properly, especially being a full-timer. Listen carefully to the lectures & take copious notes; they come in handy with the weekly study guides to prep for exams. Be ready for discomfort & real hard truths.

If you want to learn about history, especially events related to Black history, take this class. This professor is the real deal; no sugarcoating the facts. I had several laughs listening to his lectures, pay attention, take copious notes, complete the readings, and the weekly Inquizative, along with time management, and you'll do fine.

I enjoyed this history class and the workload was fair. Two textbooks, two Quizlet quizzes a week, three exams, and one paper. No discussion boards! I wish his lectures were a little more "to the point" but otherwise I would 100% take this class again.
