She is one of the least approachable/friendly professors I've had at UCSB however she gives excellent lectures and gives students the greatest educational gift they can hope for which is graded practice on researching and writing real-world scenario assignments. I used her assignments as writing samples with my resume and landed a political job
Tough class. A LOT of reading. The reader is where she tests from. TAs were useless. Bruhn knows her stuff to another echelon and it shows in her material. Very interesting class but so much material that it is difficult to enjoy it.
I found the class extremely interesting and really well rounded. She discusses different opinions and formulates power points that are really helpful. She doesn't email them though so I would try not to miss class. Once in awhile she gives attendance pop quizzes. Papers aren't too hard and she gives you a study guide for the midterm/final.
Hard class, took a lot of reading and a lot of work to keep up. Her lectures go very quickly. She is so very devoted to what she is teaching that her passion makes the class interesting. It is a ton of information in a short quarter but incredibly useful. I started out hating the class for the massive amounts of reading but grew to love it!
Bruhn is a good lecturer, but speaks very quickly. Be sure to bring your laptop if you do not want carpal tunnel syndrome. Two 5 page papers, midterm, and final. If you go to lecture and do the readings you will do well.
I had this prof. some quarters ago and she left a wonderful impression on me. She is the most interesting and intelligent professor I ever had at UCSB. People say she is shy, I say she is reserved but very approachable. Teaches well and prepares you well for exams and papers. Comparing to other political science professors she is by far the best! G
Professor Bruhn was a good professor. I recommend her to anyone interested in studying Third World Politics. Only advice to her would be to more open to students when they come to her office. Sometimes seems uninterested in students questions. But Great overall!
This class was great. The lectures were clear & focused. Exams & papers were fair & corresponded to the course. She was one of the best lecturers I've had. VERY GOOD PROF. & GREAT CLASS
Such a downer class. Its the most depressing class ever, not to mention boring. Really isnt that thought provoking. she gives EC when it rains. other then that the class was a drag, nothing out ordinary. Midterm and final were not that bad, two 5 page papers. its a required class for poli sci majors. Sabrina is a lousy TA
She is a hottie. Besides the best prof. I ever had at UCSB. She revived my interest in pols. Once again, she is pleasant and so hot!!!
The class material itself was very interesting but she goes way too fast in her lecturing so its hard to keep up when taking notes. She's also very very ackward to talk to. If you ask her a question she'll give a concise answer and then she'll state are you like "why are you still here?" Sometimes she won't even finish her answer and she'll stare..

She is pretty hard, but a good teacher! Very cool lecturer
Easy, especially for an upper division class. The study guides she hands out are essentially spoilers for all three (equally weighted) exams during the quarter. Two 5 page papers barely make in dent in grading allowing students to produce them with little or no effort. Bruhn herself is nice enough.
very interesting class. Clear, informative, well organized lectures. reading material isn't bad either. Going to lecture is a must. Most of the material she tests on is directly from lecture, so take good notes and you can get away with skipping some of the reading.
Wow--she was a great professor--really challanged her students to push beyond their comfort level. I'm surprised at some of the comments--obviously her genius was lost on those idiots.
Knows a lot and I really liked lecture. She is easy to follow if you try because she stops for all questions. Also, check out her outfits!
knows her subject well and easy to approach. gives fair tests and papers. moves quickly in lecture, which creates a lot of information to process in 50 min.
Prof. Bruhn is very intelligent and nice. I was not happy about my final grade but she taught me a lot and I rather have someone to say that my academic skills need to be improved than to have someone to patronize me, which at the end it does not help:)
talks so fast- good info in lectures
