I love professor Bimber. His class was so interesting and I learned so much. However, there is a big group project that is weighted heavy, but overall 10/10 class. He is so funny and a great lecturer.

Bimber was an enjoyable lecturer and professor overall. However, he said certain material would be on the exams and then used completely different material and blindsided everyone. Had 1 midterm and 1 final that were weighted pretty heavily and included MCQs along with SAQs. Felt like they were looking for pretty specific things on the SAQ portion.

I wanted to like this class, but I was told verbatim by a TA "we were only allowed to give out a limited number 10/10s" by the professor on tests, despite the accuracy of student responses. This was extremely frustrating and I would not take this class again due to his grading policies.

Workload is very easy and he is a great teacher. Grade is mainly based on mid term and final as well as a paper. The tests are moderately difficult but if you go to lecture and prepare they're not bad.

Supre knowledgeable professor, and clearly passionate about Poli-sci. Not an easy class though. Tough midterm and final, but the final project was easy. Make sure to go over ALL quiz questions (that's a LOT), as they will appear on your exams. The short response was easy as long as you go to lectures. Overall, learned a lot, love his style.

SO hard. Not even a poli sci major and took because 2 GE's. Technically got C+ but since not my major I just took a pass lol. So hard for no reason and very reading heavy. lectures are boring and tests don't exactly match up. averages always a C on midterm and final and no curve so everyone got a C or just took a pass. skip this class if possible
