No Comments
2 essay exams. tells u 3 topics for those essays 2 weeks before test date. just pick the essay on war and memoize as many info as u can. put more info from text and make it relevant to essay topic and u get easy A+ for both essays. MAD COOL PROFESSOR
WELL ORGANIZED AND DEFINITELY AN TRYABLE CLASS! Very Fair Grading System.
The BEST professor I ever had in this school. Really interesting and informative lectures. Analyzes historical events in an interesting matter and from different POVs (political, economical, etc)
He is a great professor.Good luck guessing on when he will give you a pop quiz! Cuz you'll never know.
good professor, is a little rough, gives pop quizzes to make sure your reading is kept up but is a respectable professor and presents his lectures well.
He is very clear and interesting
Jennifer Factor!!!!!!! Not that JLo
Great professor who knows his stuff and teaches very well. Should be an easy A as long as you read and take notes in class. No projects or term papers like other teachers. His lectures can get a bit boring cause he goes into way too much details.
He Cheated me. He gave me a lower grade which i didn't deserve.I expected a higher grade. But overall he suxxx.His tests r pretty easy.
To the students who do not like Heinrich "because he's hard" especially his 1005 please do yourself a favor, drop out and take a job as a window washer. Not only is he knownledgeable about history, but he can teach extremely well.
If you just read, it's very easy. you can even get away with not reading--but not get an a. classes, semi boring. 5 pop quizes, one midterm, one final. class participation worth alot. he's more than fair, but not totally easy.
incredibly knowledged, his class is worth taking if you enjoy history but don't want to be tortured by it. excellent choice of textbook for his teaching style. know your dates for the midterm and final, read and listen and you won't have problems.
I've never liked a history class before this one. Classes are a lot of note-taking, but he teaches the material so well. He loves class participation, but won't hate you if you're quiet. One of the best professors I've had at Baruch. Great guy.
Excellent professor.
He's a really good teacher. He uses power point presentations that are easy to follow, that I wish he would have posted on blackboard. He's helpful and a great teacher overall. Easy on the eyes, and NO, you won't notice his accent unless he says RailRoad
Took him couple of semesters ago. Although he seemed cool but he is THE worse prof. I ever took. The only ppl found him interesting are the nerds of the school. If you want someone better look for anyone else but this guy. Beaware of him.
Too boring. German accent is terrible. You are guaranteed to fall asleep but he has problem w/ that. He need to make the class interesting.
You know when a prof. knows too much about history he/she tend to be the most boring person in the world. If you haven't seen anyone like that take a look at this guy. I found the exams to be very hard. Hate ESSAY EXAMS. Surprise pop-up quized w/o a date.
He is tough on the attendence but if you read the book. You will do fine. Easy prof.
he gives unexpected quizzes, drops the lowest grade, midterm and a final is essay, not very easy grader, i would'nt take him again
i wouldn't recommend him too many pop tests harsh grader on the midterm and final essays he's a nice guy i guess mad boring too into his teaching feels like all he did in life was study history to teach it
midterm and final exams are very demanding. You really have to know everything
Great guy. If you are serious and want to learn things-take him. Very demaning but fair. 6 popup quizzes,midterm,and final.Very interesting presentations,You work hard-you get an A.Take him!
Easy course... a little boring at times.
Very good professor. Some think he's boring, but he really isn't if you're into American History. Also participation in class lectures may help your grade. As some people have already mentioned, he does give out pop quizzes, but they're straight from text
the class itself is interesting but is it possible that he actually knows too much info?? the class is pretty boring if your not interested in history and his accent can be a little annoying at times.
Great prof. I wasn't too much into history, but this guy taught stuff I won't forget. Organized, uses slideshows for lecturs. Not too easy, but essays & pops r fine if you read book & take notes. He likes it if you ask questions in class & talk. Take him.
He's good actually. quizzes aren't so hard, sometimes not even out of the book, but out of the lecture (you just have to have the capability of retaining new information). I got an A in the midterm and I still haven't bought the textbook... he does know A LOT but that helps if you have questions
Very knowledgeable, makes history interesting, midterms might be challenging, but if you value education, you are def getting ur money's worth from him. Very capable and interesting lecturer, his accent is very subtle and not bad sounding at all. He will wake you up though, so don't snooze.
If u wanna learn sth, pick up his course. If u wanna get a high grade without study, forget it.
this was my fave class last semester. he's not the easiest (i got a b-) but if you like history then you should take him. he is the best prof. i've had at baruch. there are pop quizzes (easy since he gives them after he talks about the material) and 2 essay exams (he gives the ques. out before)
I love this profesor. He's so organized and knows exactly what he is doing. I wasn't into history at all but after taking his class, I'm so into American history. I highly recommend him. Just make sure you like to read and pay close attention to what he says. Take a lot of notes and participate!!!
Very good, just follow study guide to get a 10 on his quizes. Tests mad east
A- without ever looking at the book. The lessons are very clear and the quizes come straight from lesson. 7 quizes (lowest dropped), midterm, and final. If u can pay attention in class (which by the way he makes interesting) you will do great in the class without reading. Just watch out for lateness
Very good teacher. Explains everything in pretty good detail and has organized notes. He will put you to sleep sometimes though. If you like history then you should have no problems. Pretty easy A if you pay attention in class or do the reading.
My favorite class this whole semester. Hes interetsing / smart- knows his stuff. He isnt boring.... and makes history actually interesting. I have NO complaints!!
Good looking, and a great Prof. Explains everything in class so you don't have to read the text book. Quizzes are straight 4ward. Gives good reviews for the midterm & final. He is strict when it comes to ATTENDANCE. By far the best HIST teacher in BARUCH. Did I mention he's HOT! :)
he was ok, but you have to pay attention in class,especially if you did not read the book. he gives some pop up quizzes on what he taught in that particular class.but i guess he's alright.i just don't like history.
REALLY NICE, FUNNY, FAIR GRADER, VERY ORGANIZED LECTURE, VERY EXPLICIT READING ASSIGNMENTS, VERY HELPFUL REVIEW FOR MIDTERM AND FINAL, HISTORY IS NOT SO BAD WITH HEINRICH
really great professor. I am so pleased. good, fair quizzes. I haven't bought the textbook and i'm averaging a B+. excellent lessons (very organized). must pay attention to lectures carefully. that's a good thing. he's very helpful too. strict with attendance. & yes, he's very cute. ;)
Best Professor ever!great class def. take him. lectures are interesting. you have to work a little(doing the reading)but you will def. learn alot and enjoy the class. grading is very fair. gives 7MC quizes, drops lowest(40%) midterm essay(25%)and final essay (35%). very helpful and clear. TAKE HIM
hes cool just dont sleep in his class
He's the best. Pay attention in class and take good notes and you'll pass with flying colors. No reason to fail his class.
Great teacher, very helpful!! Don't fall asleep during his lectures and take good notes and you'll be good! Must not miss lectures though! Lectures are clear and concise.
No Comments
mad good lectures, clear, concise, explained in a funny way, pop quizzes at the end of random lectures on that lecture, so just stay awake and you'll be fine, no need to read the book really unless you want an A
COOL PROFESSOR, BORING AT TIMES, VERY CLEAR ON WHAT TO EXPECT AND KEEPS YOU AWAKE BECAUSE OF THE POP UP TESTS. JUST PAY ATTENTION AND ITLL BE EASY
He is OK espessially, you really have to pay attentionin his class and read the book because he gives you his pop up quizes. IF YOU HATE HISTORY DO NOT TAKE HIM, HE IS TOUGH
he is alright. gives pop quizzes so you have to read the book. he tries to make the lectures fun. but he is hard to talk to if you want to talk about your grade, and also hard to contact.
PROF. HEINRICH IS ONE OF THE BEST PROF AT BARUCH. I REALLY HATE HISTORY, BUT HE MADE ME LOVE IT. HE IS FAIR AND VERY HELPFUL. HIS QUIZZES AND TESTS ARE NOT HARD. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS READ THE BOOK AND TAKE GOOD NOTES. I REALLY RECOMMEND HIM. HE IS CUTE.
First of all, he reads these postings, so if someone says he wont test you on WW1, you better believe he will! He is a really good teacher though. He is pretty funny and knows every little detail about the whole history of all time! Make sure you come on time though, he counts lateness as half an absense! And don't fall asleep or he counts you abst
he is the best professor ever, makes history so much clearer and so much more interesting and hes really really fair just do the assigned work.. and he is absolutely GORGEOUS so so hot you'll want to come to class.. best class i had all year..
Professor Heinrich is a great history professor. Makes history so much more interesting and knows so much information. Just read ahead for the pop quizzes and practice essays for the midterm and final and you'll be fine.
He is the best and the smartest professor at Baruch. His classes are very interesting. He is really good. I will miss his lectures.
He is a great teacher, but a little tougher than I expected. He has a great deal of knowledge regarding history and wants to share it with the class. The quizzes can be annoying, but force you to keep up with the reading and pay attention in class. I learned a lot. Take him, he's very good.
He is the best professor so far at baruch. Makes history very interesting. His tests are very fair and you have to read the assignments and take notes for pop quizzes which are really straight forward. He's a great professor take him you wont regret it.
Took the class by mistake by entering wrong code, but didn't regret it afterwards. Pop tests work out well in the end by keeping you on your toes. But the essay tests can be sketchy sometimes. In the end, tests are deff. reasonable, make sure you clean up early cuz the last few are hard and he drops lowest. You'll have to work, but you can get an A
No Comments. Just didn't like his teaching method at all. Dropped after 2 weeks.
i loved his class and his way of teaching.
He's not that good as you say he is. Pop quizzes and strict grader on the essay exams.
Class is SO INTERESTING!! I hated history, but took it as an elective. But, he is so knowledgeable, and loved the way he taught. BUT, TESTS ARE SOOO HARD! All essays. You really have to study, but book that he used was really interesting. Should take if you want to learn, but not an easy at AT ALL!
Great professor.He defenatly knows everything.If you take his class you will learn a lot. In my opinion he is the best professor in Baruch.Pop up quizes are not hard if you read the 10 points that he gives on the syllabus. .However you have to remember some details from the book. Mid term and final are not hard.
this guy really knows what he is talking about..but the pop quizzes are so hard..they ask for so much detail..read..read..read....hes cool though..wants you to participate
Strict teacher, enter this class by a huge mistake. I don't like him this much. I hope I can pass his class at least.
what i can say is pop quizzes, which counts 40%to the final grade are so hard.
He is very good professor, you just need to study for him, not really hard studying, just a little bit.
Very unhelpful to students. Never in his office during office hours and does not know how to grade papers. He will change your words for his even if the two words have the same meaning!
It's hard not to fall asleep in class, but don't. He tells you what you need to know to do well in class, and he emphasizes it further in lectures. A fair grader if you answer the question he asks.
Very well-educated, but can get difficult, especially if you fall behind on the readings (i learned this the hard way!). He is boring...but do not fall asleep b/c he WILL wake you up w/o hesitation. Besides, he'll give you a pop quiz at the end of class, just to check if you were paying attention. These quizzes count for 40%, so don't slack.
he is really good looking and a very well educated man. his quizes are unanounced and sometimes really tricky.He is a tough grader on the essays but if you participate in his class he recognizes the effort. NOT BORING and VERY GOOD LOOKING! what more could you ask for? HUH?
He is NEVER in his office and he is not helpful at all. He gives a lot of work and the papers are complicated. Do not take him at all. Who ever said he is hot is blind.
This guy looks like Jim Morrison. He is very clear in his lectures, good quizes if you paid attention in his lecture because the quizes are based on the day's lecture. Tough grader, and tough on cheating and sleeping in class. If you don't like history don't take him, otherwise, this is the best teacher for that.
he is a very smart prof. But his pop quizzes are so annoying!
he is good. u just have to pay very close attention in alll his lectures. his pop tests r based on the lectures. his midterm and final r essays. u can't go 2 sleep in his class. he wakes u up right away. its very hard 2 cheat too. just pay close attention in his lectures and don't b late. he takes attendance rite in the beginning. good luck
He knows everything on history, even remembering the date without looking at the text. Surely, the pop up quizs are challenging, but If you read the chapters and listen to his lectures, you will do fine! Take him if you like history!!
Great professor, know's everything and anything there is to know about history, and throws in his own opinion making the class more interesting. If you don't like history he will make you, interesting class, pop tests are sometimes tricky but if you pay attention in class you'll do fine, tells you the topics for both midterm and final.
Loved him...best prof for history....A pleasure to look at and fantasize about while he babbles sometimessss...Occassional pop quizzes..just read and pay attention...Midterm nd final topics r given b4...so just know 2 out of 3 realli well....Do not be late or fall asleep..or pop gum....He is awesome but strict....and very fair grader and interestin
The hardest teacher u will ever find. Has sickening strict rules, pop up quizzes which are graded as tests, doesnt curve, doesnt drop the lowest grade. The midterm and final are essays. If u have problems w/ memorizing ALL key figures and ALL dates - u will have a major problem in this class.U WILL SUFFER AND HAVE NIGHTMARES!
This is probably the best teacher I have had at Baruch and probably ever will, very well organized never uses notes or anything, he is much like a knowledge machine. Sometimes class is a little drousy but sometimes a little subtle joke gets in there. If you listen in class and read the book once a month you should be in the high B or A.
He's an awesome professor! Put's an outline of the day's discussion on powerpoint, & lectures from knowledge. He really knows his stuff! Plus he's funny too, & w/ great hair! There's some pop quizzes but they're easy if you listen to the lecture. His midterm & final is just one essay, so it's easy to make the grade. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN! He's great.
6 quizs 10 points each, 2 tests, 1 midterm 1 final all essays have to remember 2 dates. seems fair and does try to help students out, doesnt curve so dont depend on that, if your planning on cheating at least dont get caught he is strict about it and will report you to the dean.
6 quizes which are easy and 2 of them are essays with a partner. MT & Final are essays, he gives u the topics a week before, but OVERALL i didnt like him and he is pretty harsh in grading & he seems 2 have favorites
He is one of the worse professors that I had taken. He has favorites so if your not one of them your in trouble.
there was always some sort of dread going into that class...mostly because of the surprise quizes i guess...but i got used to it and did much better at the end...got a B and deserved it too :)
boring professor, dont take him at all cost. did so much work and got a c in the class
Great professor. If you take this class you will feel like you take classes at a better college. You will defenatly learn a lot in this class. The true is that the quizess are a kind of annoying but if you read the 10 points on the syllabus you will do very well. Mid term and final are not hard. It is not hard to get an A.
If any 1 likes this Prof. they r nuts. He is mean, hard grader, and very judgemental. His test are essays wich he grades by seeing if u mention key points that he spoke about in lecture, but the thing is his lectures are boring and long, so u dont kno wat to include. Avoid taking him. He destroyed my freshman year GPA.
I liked this course. But the grade was unexpectedly low. He did not respond students’ e-mails.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS - Ruined my graduating GPA - because of his mistake - and won't even answer his e-mails!!! Very unprofessional!!
Best professor in history ever... plus, he's really cute... that doesn't hurt. He gives quizzes, but they allow you to actually read what you're supposed 2 read and it will keep you on point. My personal opinion, is that you should take him,:-)
Prof. Heinrich is an awsome professor. I have no desire to learn about history, but he made the class interesting and I did learn a lot. For those who rate him as hard or as mean, you people need to grow up. You are in college now, and just because you cant get by in his class by cheating or slacking off, doesnt mean he is a bad professor. Nice Guy
good clas, but he acts like an adonis , brushing back his hair and scratching his chest
he was a great professor but he's never in his office when you need to speak to him.
Best history professor ever!! I loved his class. He makes it so interesting and recites everything from memory. This guy is very intelligent and the fact that he's hot doesn't hurt. He makes history interesting and you will learn a lot. He is a fair grader but expect to do work in his class. 6 pop quizes, 2 in class essays, 1 term paper.
No Comments
wants you to remember all dates. Essay tests gives 3 topics, out of which two will be on the test out of which you can write an essay on one. Term paper is difficult, but he has an awesome head of hair!!He laughs at things that aren't funny but is very smart!
the class is really straighfoward. Exactly what you would expect of a college history course. Heinrich is clear. However, he is not too helpful outside of class, emailing him is useless because he doesnt respond. He is a strict grader, but if you put in a good effort, a decent grade is attainable. Alot of reading from the text, but managable.
It was a so-so class for me. The way the class was presented made it seemed like the omnipotent US was all the world and made Americans look conceited and complacent. The class is quite similar to classes in Asia where students have to memorize a lot of facts and have few discussion on the matters, making the subject dry and uninteresting.
guy is a real moron, cant even accept term papers in person must be done online and because of his mistake, gpa is screwed. real easy though, better off taking someone who cares about what he teaches.
This guy is total jerk. He is either **** or has no respect for others. Not gonna go into details here. Class is easy but I rather take someone else who respect and helps student out and not criticize them. I dropped the course.
There is something about studing history in US. Nobody likes it no matter what class they take or who teaches them. I briefly met him and he was kind enough to explain course reqirements and the due date. I passed, that's all I know. Not as hard as some say.
I love him!!! He is such a nice man and an even better professor. His lectures are completely straitforward and his quizzes are more than fair. Make sure you do the quick reading prior to each class and you are guaranteed to do well. Highly recommended!!
Prof is okay. Not all that, He messed up my grade at the end of the semester by giving me a D. He changed it only to a B- but i know I would get more than that. He doesn't really seem to care about students much but his lectures are okay.Gives 6 pop quizzes so you should read before class.
Absolutely recommend him! I loved the class! the way he taught was very interesting and very understandable.wish i could take his class next semester.he was always in time and ,yes, always took attendance right in a beginning of the class.There were 6 tests during the semester, so you should be ready for it any time.read before the class!otherwise,
No Comments
If u have the tendency to fall asleep in lecture classes or dose off then DON'T take this class. U must take good notes b/c he gives 6 pop quizzes at the end of class based on his lecture. Its hard to remember every bit of his lecture so u must read the book. Otherwise, u will get a poor grade. Other that u theres a mid-term, final & 1 paper.
He knows his stuff, sort of wierd how much he knows...Pop quizzes, but it's not that bad because he gives them to you at the end of the lecture, sucks if you didn't pay attention. Midterm+Final+Term Paper=All essays. It's a lot of stuff to remember, but if you study you should do well.
Very cute, pretty easy course, but a 12 page minimum paper
Spring 07. Pop quizzes are definitely not my thing (based on the lectures where you tend to fall asleep in). Specifically stated in his syllabus is that your grade will be lowered if he catches you dozing off. There is a lot of reading to do. As for exams, it’s one midterm and one final. There is also one paper where you have to submit it online.
knows his stuff well, overall good professor, but he is BORING. assigned seating and he takes attendance at the very start of class. monotonous german accent, and calls on you if you fall asleep. painful to stay awake. gives pop quizzes so you must read the txt book. take prof Abrahamian.
Professor knows a lot of information. Class was hard and many times boring, but at the end I really learned a lot. Loves details on essays. lots of names and places.
Ok guys. He is a great professor probably the best professor i have ever had. Yes you have to read the chapters for the quizzes but only the points on the syllabus. Now i am in grad school and i still remember things from American business history and it is very helpful for using examples in my papers. Very highly recomended
Great professor. Class gets boring at times but that comes with the territory. Walking history book is what he is. Tough but fair. Self deprecating humor helps keep the class from being too boring.I know you will read this Herr Heinrich. Ich bin Kinderstudel! Du bist das Menschlichgeschichtslehrbuch!
class is a little boring. quizzes are easy. u have to read the chapters! 2 exams that HE DOESNT EVEN GRADE. therefore u get a very bad grade! since when do honor students get C's while A's in the other classes?? something is wrong with the class not the student
Professor Heinrich is great! Very knowledgeable and always ready to help. To the "honor" student above: Get a life. I can't believe you have the nerve to blame Prof. Heinrich for your incompetence. The fact that you are an "honor student" doesn't mean jack. Admit it: it was your failure, not his. Stupid twit.
He gives six pop quizzes but they are based on the reading which is pretty easy.It's pretty boring at first but it gets betters. Take him he is pretty good.
as for me his quizzes were even much harder and more complicated than mid-term and final exams. u never know when u have a quiz ---> got to be prepared for each time, so u study hard for each attendance... prefer laid back professors.
my class for 6 quizzes half was an essay the other half was multiple choice and you get a midterm and final class Participation is worth 10% or you grade so speak up in class the book is used a lot if you are interested in purchasing it i will be selling in school so look for me on monday the 28th
The Hardest class ever and im a good student!
i think he's a great prof. i have no regrets taking his class. the people who are saying he's hard are obviously the ones who aren't putting enough efforts in class. the professor gives you exactly what he wants you to study for his quizzes and tests. there are no trick questions or surprises. seriously, the man knows what he's doing.
pop quizzes and five out of six will be counted toward your final grade so stay awake in the class and listen to him. His midterm was graded by helper which i believe a lot of people get Cs, but the final he will grade by himself, and also if you wanna get A, DO THE EXTRA CREDIT, thats how i got A with a B on midterm. overall, RECOMMENDED!
One of the best profeesors I ever seen!!
well, his class would be much better without his hardcore test and quizs. one hint is do not bull crap in ur essays, he wants the specific answer he asked for, just plain and simple.....by the way his chest hairs are scary.
One of the best professors I've ever had. He gives pop quizzes that are easy if you come to class and do the reading. Only a midterm and final essay. Very fair grader, very engaging and interesting. Take him!
He is OK!
He is super clear and makes history as interesting as it can be. I didn't mind the quizzes but for the midterm and final you are given three major topics and expected to write an essay on something from one of them which is difficult. If you can't handle that def don't take this class.
Great Teacher. This man really knows what he is talking about. If you want to do well, you do have to read the book. 5 quizzes, midterm, final. He drops lowest quiz. No homework. Funny guy.
You gonna learn a lot in his class. BUT, ur chances of getting killed today are greater than getting an A/-A in his class. I spent 70% of my hw time reading the ****ing book. for quizes u must know every ****ing little detail. midterm and final r not hard if u know all the stuff perfectly. My suggestion: find another prof. But hes a awesome as a pe
EXTREMELY hard to get a good grade, but he is good in explaining. So, to get an A you have to study A LOOOOOT! every single detail!!!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! He's a very nice person and really knows the material inside and out. He's very well prepared for every class and can hold your attention (isn't boring). I got an A in this class and because of him I chose history as my minor. Highly recommended!

Read the text, stay awake in class, practice the quiz ques on syllabus and you'll do well. If not, atleast pay attentiong during the lecture.
just do the reading and pay attention to lectures. im usually bored by american history but he made it interesting. the quizzes, midterm, and final were easy. i was sick when midterms came and still got an A
this man knows a lot of american history for being a german immigrant! his use of multimedia really enhances the class however somtimes he tends to ramble. this grading policy is fair.
Nice professor but he's a hard grader. He gives pop quizzes so make sure to study. Participation counts for 20% of the grade so make sure to read! His lectures are quite interesting and will talk about lots of interesting facts and events not mentioned in the book. I would recommend this class if you don't mind working hard for your grade.
His lectures are quite interesting but has nothing similar to the questions on the tests Read chapter in advanced to pass his pop ups quizzes Pay attention to the details in the book If you have troubles with writing, keep away from him!
This is an easy course. I'm averaging a B+ and I didn't read the textbook much. This is a very textbook-based class although his lectures do help a lot on quizzes. No homework besides the reading. There are a few quizzes, and about 7 papers including a final paper. I recommend him, he's funny, quite interesting and knows his stuff.
what, he doesn't just teach 1005, people! his3410 is american business history. 1 5pg summary paper on a 30 page reading, 4 page paper on what you believe is a great innovation to a certain point, and a presentation and 10 page, 13 source term paper for a company you choose. no tests. i still think he sucks. but no one will probably listen anyway..
Great teacher. Really knows what hes talking about with EVERYTHING but can kind of ramble here and there which would make you bored if you aren't interested in history. Other than that his class is easy with a few quizes at the end of class and 7 papers. Easy B, if not higher.
very Nice Professor. easy going attendance is not Mandatory. you have to do just 3 papers and 1 online quiz.
Boring although his classroom has comfortable seats to fall asleep on, just make sure you do not sleep in the front bench. Helpful to the ones who are averaging a b+, does not care about others andthe grades are not fair. Harsh at times and do not like his teaching style. YAWN !!
wow- ok 1st off unclear and ambigous on the directions when assigning papers2nd hard grader in regards to papers long and tedious papers extra detailed do not take as an elective the class is hard for no reason there are advanced courses level and above that are harder than his im a highest is A- that you can get not for high achieving stdnt
hard grader highest you can get is a- do not take loads of hw not an easy a class easy to pass hard very hard impossible to get a
seriously im very disappointed
Very heard grader !!! Loads of HW . Don't recommended ; if u don't have a American history knowledge or like to read . Nice person but it does not help on ur GPA . Have to be prepare for class , otherwise ur done .
Have to read each chapter and take an online quizz (before each class!!)For the papers all you have to do is pay attention in class,plus he takes attendance every time.Very interesting class
This professor is FANTASTIC. Didn't enjoy history bfore his class, but he makes it extremely interesting, plays documentaries, music, is funny. VERY organized and you'll know exactly what's expected of you. Essay's are easy, just stick to what he asks. HIGHLY recommend his class. Not for lazy students, but you'll learn a lot. Easy 2 get a hold of.
Prof. Heinrich is amazing!!!! Everyone who says that an A is impossible obviously did not try. This class makes you read and answer a 10 question quizzes twice a week. Not hard at all people! His papers are very simple and he tells you exactly what he wants. He is extremely knowledgeable about what he is teaching and is so interesting. RECOMMEND!!!
Hard grader. There is homework for every class, but it's nothing ridiculous. The essays are a little confusing. Class was interesting, with a lot information covered. Dude really knows his stuff.
Good orginized clear and precise course. Aroused my interest in history, which i did not have prior to taking this class
I have definately learnt a lot in this class, but this class is not for lazy ppl. You really have to keep up reading every single chapter Of The book and do online quizzes for every class + some pop up quizzes in class. If you dont like history, definately you will like it with his classes. Very good profesor, and highly recommeded.
GREAT Professor. Knows his material well, and very charismatic with a good accent. The only problem I really had with him is he never responded to any e-mails that I sent him asking for advice on class work but aside from that he's great. 2 online quizzes per week, 7 in-class quizzes, and two essays (mid-term and final exam). Take him..
Good professor, knows the topic well. Have to read a chapter before each class and do a 10 question take home quiz(20%), then he teaches on the chapter.Seven in class pop quizzes(20$). midterm take home essay (20%) and final take home essay (25%), class participation(15%) Take home quizzes are easy, and in class quizzes are copy of take homes.
He is on the best professors i had in my college experience. His course materials and teaching technique interests student in learning more. He is very knowledgeable in his field. I was honored to take his class.
tons of reading
boring classes. homework quizzes are are easy.two papers and a a bunch of pop quizes. ace the papers and youll be fine. the papers are basicly spitback of notes. nice guy
His lectures are boring, and he doesn't do much to help students. He expects students to learn the material before he teaches it. No real review for exams. **Take class at your own risk**
I failed the midterm because I couldn't write a 4 pages essay, answer 4 questions that were supposed to fill in at least half page and one reading question (1 page) in one hour. (those who passed, how'd you do it?) TONS OF READING!
Easy teacher if you know how to scheme. All of his homework quiz answers can be found online. You never have to read unless you like to do things the hard way. His essays are easy as long as you write what you want him to write. If you know how to work around things, hes an easy B and if your really good, an A.
Enjoyed the way he taught. Doesnt read from slides but rather talks all throughout class. Clicker prompts and online quizzes for every class. If it wasnt for these, I would have never read. Easy to answer if you do the reading. 1 midterm and 1 final. Midterm was a bit hard, expected a lot from students. Participate, it helps!! Overall great class!
Class was alright, lectures were boring and didnt really learn much from them, this was basically a teach-yourself course, 1 midterm and 1 final, in class quizzes and BB quizzes. Take him! and participate, he actually write down who participates
Professor Heinrich is a great. His lectures are very interesting, it is very difficult to be bored in his class. the work load isn't that bad a few papers and a presentation, although there are a lot of readings. If your minoring in History and need a 3000 level course, take him he is good.
Horrible. I thought the worse I'd do would be a B, but got a C+. The lectures are boring. In class prompts and online quiz questions are tricky. Midterm and Final are same format, uses one chapter. Doesn't tell you which one. One major essay. I would avoid this guy. Ruined my GPA
Very arduous class. Had to do Blackboard quiz before every class. 1 midterm, 1 final (had to prepare many chapters and he chose 1). 1 long paper. He graded the participation for every class. You will learn history in his class though. I would avoid if it was for the grade. I got an A-, but was worried about the grade the whole semester.
Very good professor. I took him for HIS 1005 and got an A, am now taking him again for HIS 3460, and plan to take him again for the next topic in HIS 3460. Very fair grader, classes are more like elaborate conversations than lectures. Do the readings and you should be fine. Not a class to be lazy in.
Amazing teacher! I recommend everyone who wants to KNOW history, TAKE HIM. I took 1005 and had never studied American History before. Now I know every detail. His classes are very interesting! Now I am in love with history and I am thinking to take him again.
One of the most rewarding classes I've taken at Baruch. He really pushes you to do your best both in writing papers and in class participation. Sometimes lectures are a little confusing but he does clarify things for you if you ask. No midterm or final, just 3 papers, several quizzes, and 1 presentation. Don't slack off on the readings.
Great Professor is an understatement. Sometimes you may think he's going off topic, but he brings everything together and it will help for the midterm/final. He knows his material and is very passionate about the subject.
Honestly, he is very knowledgeable and class is very interesting. This class could be very hard if you don't have a habit of regularly reading books. Online quiz before every class, clicker prompt response everyday, and he also takes note for class participation every single time. If you can make it, its worth it!!
Horrible professor, ruined my GPA
A hard class and a really nice teacher. His readings are often long but if you do the readings, you'll do well. No electronics.
He's a great and funny person. Always willing to help if you ask for it. He also does attendance the second the class starts so come on time. There's a lot to read for his homeworks but it's not too bad. Because you need the readings for his homework and quizzes. Should highly consider him.
Very lenient professor, main part of your grade is based on participation, so you want to attend his classes. His classes are more than just lectures, they're discussions and he tries and gets you involved. There's homework due almost every class, but it's all manageable and he goes over the material thoroughly. Would take again.
Lectures are long, but interesting. Make sure you're willing to participate or dont take the class
Topic World War II. Easy going class. Every class there is outline, 500 wordschapter, usually 1-2 chapters. Not too difficult. 3 map quizzes. No mid-term or final. 2 papers only. Participation is best way to get grade up. Lectures are more like class discussions. Like any class, do the work and youll be fine, its manageable. Definitely recommend.
Cool, funny, smart, engaging, etc. Just like in real life, if you follow instructions, you will succeed. Everyone complaining about the class being a "GPA killer" are beta-males, though it can be a little tough if you work full time and have other classes. Nonetheless, you will learn, and learn A LOT. Would take again without hesitation.
Nice guy, and really good at what he teaches (this was the class on WWII). Be on time, literally not a min late. There is a tremendous amount of reading and homework, but it's essential to particpate in class. Frankly, it's not that bad if you're into history. It's a lot of work, but great professor to learn from. Would take again.
Gives a blackboard quiz due (10 multiple choice questions) for every class. One chapter must be read for each class. Quizzes are easy and open book. Midterm and final consist of 20 questions from the blackboard quizzes (he gives you the answers) and one essay question (he gives you a list of possible questions). Takes attendance by clickers.
Decent professor. The reading will be a bit annoying but you get used to it after a while. Quizzes are due before every class and they're pretty straightforward if you've done the reading; only 10 multiple choice questions. He knows his subject well and is pretty fair with everything. Definitely have to do a bit of studying for the tests.

All in all, he definitely knows his subject well and is pretty straightforward.
This class is time consuming. Every Class requires: chapter summaries (1 - 3 chapter(s) of 500 words each) + class participation every class and attendance mandatory (lateness unacceptable .) Additionally: 3 papers (2500 words) plus 1 (4000 words) 3 Map Quizes (provides all the info prior) Notes on blackboard (sometimes)
Great guy, definitely knows his stuff. Make sure to do your online quizzes because they are worth 30% of your grade, they're not hard because the book is in front of you. Also participate.
One of my favorite professors. Read the textbook and participate in class. He plays favorites sometimes. It's an interesting class, overall.
Great prof in the sense that he teaches very well. Lectures are not boring. There is homework every week which consists of a long chapter. Tests are hard and attendance is mandatory.
This class is very straightforward and clear. If you pay attention, study, and complete the quizzes, you'll get an A.
Prof Heinrich is great. Lectures are jam packed with interesting info, new ideas and insightful ideas. He's very kind and helpful. He basically makes it as easy as possible to get an A. Open book online easy quizzes and a midterm and final. He gives u the essay Q's and Mult choice Q's before. No excuse not to do well. TAKE HIM.

Before every class you have to read a chapter of the textbook and do an online blackboard quiz but don't worry! Its open book and really easy! then in class he basically teaches to his essay questions so take really good notes! midterm and final are the same format, final not cumulative, gives you the possible questions so as long as you study; A!!
The best teacher, easy class
Professor Heinrich is the greatest. Best teacher in Baruch. Take his class; you will enjoy every minute of it.
Hate history but this was the easiest class i took this semester. Great professor, interesting lectures and only 2 tests (midterm and final).
Great professor if you love history. He was definitely clear and engaged with the class during lectures. There are online HW quizzes that he gives for EACH and EVERY chapter and gave us few breaks on them. He grades for class participation, so read and be engaged. His test come straight from the texts and other HW assignments he puts on blackboard.
HE GIVES YOU EVERY SINGLE MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION WITH ANSWERS BEFORE THE MIDTERM AND FINAL. All that needs to be worried about is the essay on both tests. He very clearly prepares you for all possible essay prompts and gives you them in advance. Impossible to fail, very easy to do well.
By far the best prof of my college career. BRILLIANT individual, knows so much, so intelligent. A lot of reading but you don't mind doing it. Lectures are very engaging, gives exact quiz preps before quizzes, multiple choice. SERIOUSLY TAKE HIM, SO WORTH IT!
Took him previous semester for Naval History Class, which was pretty interesting. Now, I took him for a Business History Class which was somewhat dry. Summary on readings is due before every class, approx. 400 words. No exams but three short papers on topics discussed in class. Explains what he's looking for before paper is due.
Professor Heinrich is an excellent professor. Really knows his material and engages you during class. Make sure you participate during the lecture, he pays attention who speaks and has read the assigned books/excerpts. An online quiz every week and lots of reading. But still very interesting!
Did more work in this class than I've ever done in any class. Really tough grader (vague grading criteria). Takes attendance in the beginning and the end of class. Although this is true, his class was enjoyable and I learned A LOT of useful information. Basically, very hard but worth it if you want to learn. (No tests or final, only essays/papers).
Respectable human being. Relies heavily on blackboard quizzes, which you can ace with quizlet, some article questions are not up, but relatively easy. Make sure you attend classes before the midterm and final. The exams are made up of 20 multiple questions from blackboard quizzes and essay questions we go over in class. MAKE A STUDY GROUP!
took the midterm did not get results until 4 weeks after, he doesn't grade the test. We take online quizzes which are easy at the time of the test he picks 20 out 100 questions from online quiz plus you have to write a 6 page in class essay for midterm/final he gives us 10 questions to prepare for but only 3 show up don't take unless u like history
Very good professor. You have daily blackboard quizzes but its super easy(assuming that you read the textbook, and you should). Theres two exams for the whole semester, the midterm and the final, each with one essay question. And regarding the content of those exams; They're all questions from your blackboard quiz, including the one essay question.
Tests are off the multiple choice homeworks that are due before each class (quizlet) + essay question that is also given to students before the test, does take attendance and assigns seating so you must go to the lectures. Midterm and final are the same format.
The class is pretty light except for the midterms and finals. He treats the class like a 4000 level course. BARUCH IS A BUSINESS SCHOOL he treats it like we are history majors. You gotta prepare for 10 essays just to write a random 1 in class which is graded very very harshly. I would never take his class though he is a nice guy.
Literally THE ONLY class I didnt get an A in my first semester!! Heinrich is a little intimidating and often runs off on a lot of tangents. You never completely finish a lesson and youre expected to read two 30+ page chapters every week. The online quizzes are easy, but they dont help much if you do not do well on the midterm and final. WORST
Professor Heinrich is by far one of Baruch's best professors. He does require a lot of reading, coming to class every day, and participation, but he is super interesting. He is passionate about the subject and it shows in class. The readings were all interesting and the class was well structured. Long final papers, but they were graded fairly.
Probably the best prof I've taken at Baruch (I'm a senior). Be prepared to do 30-40 pages of reading for every single class, along with a difficult quiz. Be prepared to be cold-called, be prepared to defend your answer or explain why you said what you said. He is extremely knowledgeable/passionate about the subject and it rubs off. not a HIS major
Grading clear from day one. 5 Quizzes, 1 group presentation, and 1 final paper. Very straightforward. Literally tells you everything that you need to do to get an A in the class.
Professor Heinrich is by far my favorite professor at Baruch. He goes indepth with every lecture, and really fosters a learning environment. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn more about history, very knowledgable.
Professor Heinrich was thorough and educated on every topic he taught and is very easy going and friendly. Class was engaging and enjoyable. I recommend taking his class.
The professor is very knowledgable in the subject, and gives great lectures. The attendance policy is very strict with no wiggle space. Attend all classes!!! Be ready to read 30+ pages between every class. A quiz is uploaded after every class. You may read more than one book at a time.
Professor Heinrich is an engaging and knowledgeable instructor. The class is well-structured, with fair grading and helpful lectures. I found Unstuck study ai and the free textbook to be great study aids alongside the in-class experience.
This prof makes history so fun; he's probably one of my favorite profs here. The midterm and finals have a huge weight in this class, and they're essays, so beware, but other than that, he's awesome, and his class is relatively easy. Definitely take it!!!
