A seminar focused on work-shopping and discussing cutting-edge work in Comparative Politics, International Relations, and Political Economy. The expectation is that students specializing in CP and IR will enroll continuosly, with differentiated assignments appropriate to stage in the program. Students will present their own work, comment on the work of others, and engage in professional development activities. In a typical quarter, the worksshop may involve 3 weeks where an outside speaker present on work in progress, 3 weeks where faculty present their work, 3 weeks where graduate students present work, and 1 week of professional development activities.

ES177 . Mildenberger 3 Months Ago

I'm in ES and Poli Sci so I was excited to take this class, but I found it incredibly slow. I rarely want a class to be harder but I think we spent the first 3 weeks talking about 3 concepts that could have been said in one lecture, and I really hoped for a more insightful poli sci class that goes beyond the tragedy of the commons.

really engaging and interesting lecture though could be a bit more organized. if you get A's on everything else, you can fail the final and still get an A.

POLS15 . Mildenberger 4 Months Ago

He did a great job at making the course content understandable and digestible, and took relatively dry concepts and made them interesting! Grade consisted of section attendance, 3 problem sets (one could get replaced by an optional 4th set), midterm and final. Work with TAs on the problem sets, go to class and office hours and you'll be fine.

Professor Mildenberger really knows his stuff, even if he's not always the most organized guy. His ES/PS 177 is very evenly split between envi and poli sci material. If you don't show up to lecture, try to get the notes from a classmate, because his slides give you very little to go off of. And get ready to talk/collaborate in section!

Had him for ES/PS 177, and he clearly knows and cares a lot about what he teaches, and balances the material well between poli and envi sci. Our section was participation-heavy, with group presentations and roleplay activities. He's not the most organized prof out there, at least he wasn't for my quarter, but overall, good course.

He was a good lecturer, interesting class. three 500 word response papers, a section presentation, and a final with extended response questions and you could choose which questions to answer.
