Comment:
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

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.

Comment:
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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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).

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!
