My favorite teacher I have had so far. He is down to Earth and truly cares about teaching. Amazing and inspiring lectures from him and the many guest lecturers he gets.

Take this class! There's a ton of readings that is heavily tested on. Two midterms and final are multiple choice along with map questions for each test. There's a 10 page policy brief- this was probably my favorite: write about something you're passionate about. He's adorable during lectures and really cares about the subject. You will learn a lot!

I want to be careful not to be too harsh on Prof Applebaum. He's very nice and will go far out of his way to help a student, but his own issues with organization affect him and his thoughts. It can be hard to rely on him, or take what he says fully seriously. He means well, but also tends to treat being a professor like being a rockstar. Easy tho.

Fantastic professor and fantastic course! The readings compliment the lectures in a great way. For some reasons students assume they can learn by doing little work, but this course makes you work hard & engage which is what the Global Major is all about. The tests are easy if you do all the readings.attend lecture. Visit in Office hours!

What a great guy. Super cute (in an little man way) with his jokes. Seems like a super awesome guy even outside of class. Class is hard but that isn't his fault, pretty sure all global 1 is hard. I would take a class from him again
