Great and respectful guy. Dry humor, but in a nice way. Do readings & watch lecture & you'll be fine; no surprises on the Free response for midterm & final. Your TA will probably be the factor as to whether or not the class is good your quarter. I took this course Winter 2025 Great TA. Policy paper was in a pair & straightforward.

POLS196 was one of my favorite classes. I would highly recommend it for undergrads + seniors. Prof. Singh is super understanding and wants his students to succeed. Readings are really interesting and make for easy reads. Discussions are not forced and are always open and welcoming. Classes are student-driven and have lots of flexibility!

Professor Singh is clearly very knowledgable and passionate about the content of this class, however sometimes the lectures can be difficult to follow because what he is peaking about does not always match the lecture slides. There are a lot of readings for this class but often times he goes over them in class so you do not have to do them.

Professor is passionate about his work in lecture. Midterm and final exams make up 80% of total grade so lecture participation is necessary but content was super interesting!

Really a great professor - you can tell he loves what he does. The TAs were also awesome and so helpful. Study hard for the midterm and final bc it's basically your whole grade but professor and TAs give you the tools and help to succeed.

Great class overall, lectures can get a bit boring, exams are straight forward and pretty simple if you actually study. TA's are very helpful and lowk funny.

He is a sweet man but sometimes the lectures just get too boring and I lose focus but it is a fun class and I would take again.

He has a very thick accent so its hard to understand him sometimes. His slides don't relate to what he talks about. A lot of reading but I never did it because there's no homework. A lot of the final and the midterm were common sense. The TAs are great but they clearly don't agree with a lot of his practices.

Professor Singh is such a passionate lecturer! This class was engaging and interesting (you get extra points for attending the guest lectures). Please please go to his lectures towards the end of the quarter! There were maybe 30-45 people there towards Week 6-10 and it's so disappointing :( I can tell that he loves his job

For the final, we had to hand write a 1000 word essay along with 25 multiple choice questions in 1 hour and 15 minutes since he had the test on week 10. I would not take this class again for that reason. Other grades were 1 midterm, 2 section presentations worth 10% in total and section attendance worth 10%. Overall interesting class.

So much reading! It's actually crazy. Avoid this class if possible because it was about 150 pages of reading a week. The professor assigned way too much for a lower division introduction class.

great professor
