The lectures were interesting, though the first 15ish minutes reviewed the content of the previous lecture, which became monotonous. He does a nice job of making the sometimes dense readings understandable. Part of his grading is based on 'creativity' but still easy to score well.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2691453","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:57:40.764523+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTQwMjgxMTAw","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2691453","instructor_name":"Adam Stern","course_label":"SOC273","course_id":"GERMAN/RELIGST/SOC 273","course_uid":"course_8364398f8cc309e01b07e83a","review_date":"2024-12-13 20:36:53 +0000 UTC","comment":"Weekly assignments that determine most of your grade, a cumulative final but he gives the questions he's going to ask beforehand, tough grader.

You can tell he genuinely cares about his students and has a lot of enthusiasm for the course material. Lectures can be monotonous at times as they go over weekly readings, but I found them to be helpful in summarizing and remembering the readings from the week.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2691453","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:20:10.596090+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTQyOTA3NDc5","source_instructor_id":"rmp:3148530","instructor_name":"Mary Hennessy ","course_label":"GERMAN273","course_id":"GERMAN/RELIGST/SOC 273","course_uid":"course_8364398f8cc309e01b07e83a","review_date":"2026-04-23 01:38:39 +0000 UTC","comment":"Loved this class and professor, grading criteria was very clear and made it easy to succeed. So long as you do the reading assignments, which are manageable, and show up to class then you will get an A. Participation in this class is also valued.

She is a wonderful person and teacher!!","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/3148530","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:20:10.596090+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTQyNjkyODYw","source_instructor_id":"rmp:3148530","instructor_name":"Mary Hennessy ","course_label":"GERMAN273","course_id":"GERMAN/RELIGST/SOC 273","course_uid":"course_8364398f8cc309e01b07e83a","review_date":"2026-03-12 18:53:23 +0000 UTC","comment":"Two lectures per week, one reading before each lecture, one \"quiz\" per week (based on lecture/reading content from week before), 2 blue book exams.
