Prof. Perrone is a great lecturer. Midterm was a take-home essay. Unfortunately a lot of people were using AI for their essays so she made the final in person closed note essays...Still a good class. All readings are on canvas or free. Passionate.

She's amazing. My favorite professor I've taken at UCSB so far.

She's very passionate which makes me enjoy lecture.

the professor is really good. the lectures are not mandatory, but incredibly interesting and helpful for writing the papers. if i were to take this course again however, i would definitely pick a better TA. not helpful with the feedback and incredibly snarky. its been extremely difficult with correspondence and feedback.

Her lectures are phenomenal & very informative. If she is not as knowledgeable, she brings in a guest professor who is an expert on the topic. Although you can tell her political bias, she is very good at giving the facts, not opinions. Class is easy. 3 op-ed's & sections are the grades. The final is an optional op-ed rewrite for a higher grade.

Lectures had absolutely nothing to do with what was graded. I went to literally 1 lecture the entire quarter. She lectures and u pick what u write about. Gives out extensions for papers no matter what. Section attendance mandatory. Essays are graded kinda hard but not really. Final is optional. Such a light class! Recommend
