Marccus Hendricks URSP250 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/16/2021	I would totally recommend Dr. Hendricks. This class is the opposite of busywork and the weekly homework is an incredibly useful study tool to get a good grade. Guidelines for everything are clearly outlined and TA's were helpful. Definitely my favorite class I've taken for my sustainability minor yet. Dr. Hendricks is also very knowledgeable and eager to see his students succeed.
Marccus Hendricks URSP250 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/06/2021	Professor Hendricks is super knowledgeable and a really great professor. There are a lot of readings, but if you spread them out, they are easy to manage. The required reading summaries also help to understand the topics better. The lectures are really heavy, and mostly repeat what the readings say. However the professor often brings his own take and more modern examples to the lectures that make them more interesting. I think most importantly, professor Hendricks was able to acknowledge the social issues that align with urban planning which gave the class a more interesting take on how to look at climate change and urban planning. He took us on a field trip, brought in guest speakers, and let us watch documentaries, so there are a variety of learning opportunities for students. There is an even amount of group and individual work which also keeps the class interesting. There was a required textbook, and attendance was not required. Overall the TA's were really easy graders and super accessible. Definitely would recommend Prof. Hendricks as he has many connections on the architecture, urban planning, sustainability, and politics side of the topic.

He is extremely knowledgeable on Urban Planning and environmental justice, but yeah the class has a lot of reading so be prepared for that.
Marccus Hendricks URSP250 Expecting an A- Anonymous 01/02/2018	This was the professor's first semester teaching, and it showed. Over the course of fifteen weeks, there were about two classes dedicated to actual lecture material. His concept of group learning (where students learn from each other) is interesting and, at times, implemented effectively. He is a soft-spoken individual who was clearly knowledgeable and interesting, but rarely went into detail on the interesting subject matter.
