Professor Mildenberger really knows his stuff, even if he's not always the most organized guy. His ES/PS 177 is very evenly split between envi and poli sci material. If you don't show up to lecture, try to get the notes from a classmate, because his slides give you very little to go off of. And get ready to talk/collaborate in section!

Had him for ES/PS 177, and he clearly knows and cares a lot about what he teaches, and balances the material well between poli and envi sci. Our section was participation-heavy, with group presentations and roleplay activities. He's not the most organized prof out there, at least he wasn't for my quarter, but overall, good course.

He was a good lecturer, interesting class. three 500 word response papers, a section presentation, and a final with extended response questions and you could choose which questions to answer.

Prof. Mildenberger is smart and delivers the course content smoothly. He knows both qualitative and quantitative stuffs and it's really enjoyable to attend his lectures for anyone interested in political studies. His lectures are nearly elegant proses to be honest. Many nuanced points and inspirations popped up in lectures! Clear grading as well.

I absolutely LOVED this professor. I am an ES major and it was the most interesting class I've taken. the response papers helped digest the material. He truly cares about what he is teaching and thoroughly explains information. He doesn't post slides with words on it, so you need to go to class.

Prof. Mildenberger is super smart and really kind. He wants people to understand the material. He doesn't talk too fast so you have time to take notes. The class is hard, but since you have to take it to get into the major, I think he does a great job making the statistics material clearer to understand. He's one of the best in the dept.

Prof Mildenburger is nice but doesn't put anything on his slides so it's difficult for visual leaners because you can only listen to his voice. Also, it is kind of hard to follow him bc he goes into a lot of examples of dif countries and doesn't explicitly say definitions of things. Lot's of dense academic journals that were not really necessary

He was a really nice and accommodating guy. He pushed back our problems sets for POLS 15 multiple times so we had more time to work on it. Pretty challenging class but he was good at explaining.

The lectures were not always congruous with the coding problem sets so you either had to defer to your TA or work it out independently. The professor was super nice but sometimes he would say he would give us a certain amount of time for an assignment but then forget to actually honor it. Still, he was generally pretty accommodating and lenient

Lectures were boring and difficult to get through. Learning to code via zoom wasn't the greatest experience. Highly recommend working in groups.

This class can be challenging if you don't have a background in statistics, so make sure that you understand the underlying concepts. Learning to code in R isn't terrible either, as long as you practice and work together to do the problem sets.

Professor Mildenberger is the absolute best professor for this course. This class is challenging, but also incredibly rewarding. Mildenberger does a superb job at making sure he, and all his TAs, are always at your disposal. I learned way more than what was on the syllabus while being in his class, but only take it if you're up for the challenge.
