Lots of reading, lectures are interesting, but he doesn't engage students much which I think would be highly beneficial for retention. Assignment instructions are clear, he's great at communicating about big assignments, provides a study guide for exams. If you follow rubric, submit assignments on time, and show up you'll do great.

I really enjoyed this class and felt like it improved my understanding of global politics. The surveys were fun to take each week, there were only 2 online exams and 2 reflection papers which was great. The workload was easy and the only downside was the attendance and weekly discussion posts.

assigns a group project over thanksgiving! 2 exams 2 essays 1 group project weekly discussion posts due on Sundays Lot of information each day , very interesting but he is a little boring. he is funny though at times.slides are easy to take notes off of so going to class is not very neccsary.

Good class overall. Lectures had interesting content which was presented well. Professor used an online discussion forum which we had to subscribe to that was kind of expensive and got to be very tedious throughout the quarter. Course content felt easy enough to process, but the exams were kind of tough at times. Other assignments were easy enough.

Didn't like that we had to pay ~40$ just for a forum post site. BUT besides that he's a good prof. Funny guy. Understanding & accessible, listened to students and made exams online, not the easiest A I've gotten, but he is not a tough grader on the writing portions. Couple MC midterms, weekly posts, and a final + research paper & "group" project

Manageable workload- 2 essays (one is reflective), 3 mc tests, a group presentation, and weekly discussion posts. They aren't graded harshly if you follow directions. He also gives lots of interesting/funny anecdotes and TONS of book recommendations in class. He does cancel lectures every now and then, but overall I did learn a lot.
