The lecturers were just trying to type down the slides. the slides are posted though so you can go back and look. I took a few quizzes on Canvas that are open notes and then a midterm that is just ID terms, examples, and timelines, and a final with an essay portion that was quite difficult. It's not an easy GE.

Lectures were easy to follow and very detailed. Prof Hamed-Troyansky is very knowledgable and passionate. No surprises on the midterm and final, you study what you need basically. Readings were not too long as well. Really enjoyed this class

Global 1 is a straightforward class. I appreciated Prof. Hamed-Troyansky's continued enthusiasm and throughout lecture. He's a sweet guy. We also explored some really interesting topics. My one wish is that he wouldn't rely on reading of an outline and slides during lecture. These topics could be so much more dynamic if taught in other ways.

Lectures are really engaging, but you honestly don't need to go at all, since he posts the slides. Section mandatory. Tests are basically just definition memorizations and some other simple stuff. Also you don't need to do the readings at all since he summarizes them for you in the slides. Little effort required. Super chill professor and TAs.

Very engaging professor. Lectures are not mandatory, but

So much content in each lecture, but he teaches it engagingly, making you want to listen to the whole thing. Take good notes b/c the tests draw from things he mentions like once. There are study guides for his tests that tell you the exact content you're expected to know, making it easy to study and succeed.
