This was the 2nd class I took with Bruhn (currently taking a 3rd). She's highly knowledgeable and I find her lectures to be informative. Definitely don't miss lecture. Class overall wasn't too hard and Bruhn was great but the TA was a weird grader. Felt like the harder I tried, the lower my grades went?

The lectures were good, but we did nothing helpful in the section. Wasn't a rubric for the essays, expectations unclear, and feedback didn't come til the day the next essay was due. I don't feel like I learned about how to write for pols, and my grade flopped because of it. I couldn't improve because the TA was so unclear and unhelpful. ugh.

She is very smart and experienced in the subject. Lectures started out dry and heavy but both her and the topic grow on you and I ended up loving the class. Instructions and expectations for papers and final were unclear but she responds to emails very fast and helpful in office hours. TA Marc Anthony is an extremely harsh grader and such an opp.

Not the best class

Content was interesting and relevant to the assignments which were 3 papers and a final essay. Honestly a super easy class and as long as you go to lecture and take notes you'll get a good grade.

your grade is based on your TA. harsh grading but doesn't provide ANY rubrics for the 2 papers. final is 50 mcq and an essay. lecture heavy, TAKE NOTES. weekly quizzes are easy. your TA matters (mine didn't help at all nor did he answer any questions that actually pertained to struggles with papers or final)
