So many assignments due every Sunday, loves to spring an extra assignment to ruin your day, gives you a 0 often with no consideration for students, harsh grader depending on TA. Disappointed by this class! Never had such a poor experience with UCSB Poli Sci Dept.
It was a cool class but there were so many "busywork"assignments and she gave us 3, an extra assignment than usual,the Sunday right before finals week on top of an extremely harshly graded essay due a few days later.There is very little consideration for anything else going on like if your sick or anything,no extensions&you will be marked down 50%
Assigns so many random assignments that have nothing to do with IO's. Has no consideration for students that are struggling and promotes her book every chance she gets. TA literally does not care if you need help and will just give you a 0, cares more about looking good in front of the professor.
Very tough course, I struggled heavily despite doing all the readings and going to all lectures.
Prof Morse is the best professor UCSB has ever seen. She is so smart, well educated, and good at her job. She really cares about her courses and the students. She cares about each student and is so understanding and I finished UCSB literally because of this woman. Class very engaging - graded off 3 policy papers and a project. 100/10 amazing.
This class was great. It was in that golden zone of requiring effort while still being very manageable. Her lectures were super engaging and digestible as well, I was saddened to see how few people went towards the end (it was spring quarter so..). She also clearly cares about the material as well as her students. I hope I can take her again!
Great professor who cares about her students. Really shined a new light on the topic of human rights by showing us different perspectives and challenges surrounding the topic. Grading consisted of an in-class midterm, paper, group project, and section grade.
Morse was probably 1 of my favorite profs that I've had in the dept so far. While I have no special connection with her specifically, I can tell she is dedicated to her work, her class is interesting, and she doesn't have ridiculous expectations. Attendance not mandatory but would recommend going as it clarifies the material and makes things easier
