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.

Professor Bruhn was very well educated on her topics of discussion, however her lectures were very fast paced, just reading off the slides, and felt like a race to get all your notes done. Weekly quizzes were pretty difficult. Midterm was take home essay, final was in person multiple choice and essays

Ok so I agree with another comment that said she grows on you throughout the quarter the only issue is essays can be unclear and some TAs are unhelpful and unapproachabe. Final was fairly easy as it was reused quiz questions and an essay you could answer if you knew the basics of the class

Professor Bruhn is clearly passionate about politics, and the class definitely had a slight focus on Latin America due to her experience. Lectures were not very engaging, weekly quizzes were fairly easy, but essays do not have a rubric so be sure to check with your TA.

Professor Bruin is great but a lot of the class is just you teaching yourself it feels like. The TA's don't really do a lot and on both the practice midterm and midterm essay they gave minimal feedback and rarely helped give students actual examples of how to improve.

She most definitely grows on you throughout the quarter. Makes some funny jokes and comments from time to time.Most of the TAs kind of suck and all have god complexes. Pretty much all the complaints I've heard were due to the Tas, not her. Not an easy A but can absolutely get by without reading anything. Lectures are pretty interesting and engaging

This professor reads off of a piece of paper during lecture. She requires a lot of readings and has very subjective quizzes that often don't have anything to do with lecture material. Midterm and finals are tough, there is little room to improve your grade as the only assignments are weekly quizzes and term tests.

Professor Bruhn is very knowledgeable on comparative politics, especially in terms of Latin America. The lectures were very dense and long. The reading is not too difficult, only one chapter per week with an easy 10 question quiz on Friday thats due by Monday. The grade was mainly based on the two papers which are graded by the TA's.
