Pretty relaxed class, lectures weren't super crazy but her stories are interesting. The quizzes are super easy and the 2 essays weren't super hard. The rubrics for them are pretty clear and she always answers questions about them if you ask. I like her but I can see why some would call her boring. Nice class with little stress.

Just give a reasonable effort and you'll get a reasonable grade. Some of it was entertaining, most of it was not, but it was never putting anyone to sleep. All of the quizzes were online and the lowest one was dropped. The midterm was an online essay and the final was an in-class essay and wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Lectures are a lot of information being thrown at you but she's not a bad professor. Grade consists of the final and two papers which have wordy prompts and no rubric - graded by your TA (Marc Anthony was #1 opp - excessively harsh grading, especially for an intro course). TA MATTERS!!!

Good teacher and the content isn't difficult, but she does move fairly quickly through a lot of info. There are two (out of class) essays in which the prompts are long, poorly worded, and lack a full rubric. Grading is largely reliant on your TA and how helpful they are in describing expectations.

She is a good lecturer and she posts all her slides. If you do the readings, which aren't always necessary since she basically covers the textbook in her lectures, they are very dense. There were two essays which didn't have any rubric and were graded harshly, but the final was basically the canvas quizzes and a prompt she had already given us.

Lectures are so fast and she reads most of lectures off a paper. Not the best teacher, but very smart so she talks to us like colleagues. Weekly quizzes, 2 papers and a final which is MC & an in-class paper.

Lectures are interesting yet very dense and fast paced, and it is often very hard to keep up during lectures. She is very intelligent and funny but not the best teacher. Weekly quizzes are based on textbook and article readings, and often the questions seem to be very specific and made to trick students. TAs suck and provide no help or feedback.

came to the TA to get help with my essays and he told me not to worry about them as he'd be curving them, this didn't happen and he lied to the professor saying otherwise, who seems indifferent anyways. no rubrics for any of the papers, don't expect any help from the TA or prof.

Lowkey a lot of reading but it was chill....shes a fun lecturer and a lot happens in her lectures. She is so interesting cool career stories dropped. Fav Poli Sci class out of the intro ones rlly liked.

Bruhn is one of the best lecturers I have had so far. She ties her lecture topics in with real-world examples, making it much easier to comprehend. One of the best Poli sci professors

Bruhn is a really interesting lecturer, and she talks about her time and studies a lot in Latin America a lot. Lectures are very content-heavy, and it's important to take notes. There are weekly quizzes that are sometimes a little random, but for the most part, if you took notes on lectures and read the textbook you'll be fine. TA's were unhelpful.

Class was interesting but lectures felt rushed, heavy reading and quizzes every week with oddly specific and irrelevant questions. Main issue is TA's- they suck and give unclear grades.. the essays have vague prompts and constraints that make it hard to do well. Can't get an A without really putting in the work. Not great but not terrible.
