She was so nice and kind. She made sure everyone understood her lectures and was understanding if you had to miss class despite mandatory attendance. I did all the papers/big projects in under 3 hours and got 100s. Her class is elementary (I knew nothing about art going into it, I'm a STEM major). I would recommend it for an ethics studies credit.Rate My Professors ↗

I took AFROAMER 338 for a social science credit and it was fine. There was a lot of reading (which is interesting), but you'll be using it in your multiple papers.Rate My Professors ↗

One of my favorite professors so far! Herzog was caring and worked hard for everyone to have a voice in the class. There was no exams but instead we had weekly writing assignments that were really easy, quick, and pretty interesting. The lectures sometimes felt long and slow, but Herzog had a great positive attitude. Attendance was tracked & gradedRate My Professors ↗
