He is a good lecturer and is well-suited to teach the course material

Lectures are very long, get ready to take some notes. Midterm was pretty easy and the quizzes are not hard either. Final was multiple choice study words and definitions.

Wont cancel class under the harsh virus, and being really mean. Class is boring

Great lectures. He is clear on what will be on quizzes/exams. Take notes each class because he does not give you any notes to access after class. Slides he uploads are cliff notes of the lectures. Exams/Quizzes are based solely on the notes. NO textbook to refer to! One research essay.

I've taken his Global 130 class before and this class was similar grading structure: 3 quizzes, midterm& paper. I really liked the course, the professor did a great job of explaining all the terms/events. Not all reading is mandatory, he will tell you which will be tested on and most slides are posted, overall pretty easygoing and approachable!

He gives very heavy slides but posts them later. The class is on terrorism so it is very interesting. 3 quizzed throughout the quarter (pretty easy) and then one midterm that was short answer in class. And then one final paper that's 8 pages about due finals week. If you find terrorism interesting and dont mind reading and writing, do it.

Incredibly confusing syllabus (you had to check three different places just to figure out what readings you needed to do), tons of reading assigned but never tested, doesn't test on how well you know the material but rather how well you could decipher his unnecessary wordiness. I'm switching out of the Global program because of this class/prof.

Although the lectures were sometimes boring, the topics are interesting. The quizzes are also very easy. Overall, an easy class.

Lectures were kind of monotonous, so it was hard to pay attention. He posts slides online. 1 midterm exam, questions are easy if you even just review lectures. Final was a paper, which was time-consuming but not too difficult. Had a required field trip to a Sikh temple (w a reflection paper on it), which was an incredible learning experience

Interesting topic and there's potential for the class to be cool but the lectures drag on and the professor isn't really captivating. As long as you show up and pay attention you should do fine, just be ready for reaaaaallly long lectures

Visiting professor but is here for at least 2 quarters. Very interested in the topics of global diasporas obviously, could have been clearer with what he was looking for on midterm (aka unclear why you got what grade you got) but he was approachable and obviously knowledgable. 2 quizzes, midterm, final paper. Take him if you get the chance!
