CollegeYes, it is a lot of reading but all the essays add up to 110% which will allow you to either skip one essay or gives you leeway.
Everything that counts toward your grade: 3 reading/analytical essays, 2 quizzes, a policy brief, attendance, and a final exam. You’ll have to grind for the A because the TA will be a hard grader on essays and the essay portion of the quizzes and the final. Overall knowledgeable prof and if you are a global major you should fs take this class.
Lectures were very optional as much of the information you will need for midterms are all accessible through slides, some questions asked very general questions from the readings. readings are also not necessary except for the readings for the comparative analysis papers of which there are 2 assigned. Overall very straight forward class no fluff
Prof Clemencon is so laidback. Took on zoom. there were asynchronous lectures and synchronous meetings that were optional. Very knowledgeable and is willing to answer any question you may have. You'll do really well if you're good at analytical essays. A lot of reading but the material was pretty interesting. He really wants his students to succeed
