SINGH SATYAJ
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
Really disliked this course. Enrolled to learn about the processes of globalization, but the vast majority of the class was concerned primarily with economics and subject matter which was not engaging whatsoever. Lectures felt like they dragged on forever. Mandatory attendance for sections. Assignments were easy enough, but avoid this class.
Professor Singh is a really nice, approachable guy. Lectures were hard to keep up with sometimes, and there are a lot of assignments -- forum posts, two news assignments, 3 short answers, and a short essay. Along with midterm and final, both of which were multiple choice. Do the readings, they will help you a lot!
An EXTREMELY wonderful professor, who has clear grading criteria and motivates you to research things you like. You will definitely learn a lot if you're willing to chat with him in his OHs. And if you just want to get a good grade, you will be fine as long as you really put in your effort and thinking. Best prof I've ever had honestly
This class had no exams and the grades were determined by a few short essays FRQs and one larger research project. The lectures were a mixed bag of interesting and boring, but overall the class is pretty easy and definitely very doable. Singh is a great guy and you can tell he is really passionate and knowledgeable on the subject matter.
loved this class. He works with students and allows a very doable and accessible due date timeline (meaning there are less assignments than once a week, and you can choose which units you engaged with the most to write on). All of his readings were free, refreshing, and worded in a very easy-to-understand manner.
Best!! I thought his coursework was challenging in the most constructive way. He was such a dialogical teacher, made knowledge very accessible, and helped me improve my critical thinking, writing ability, and the way I approach learning in higher academia. My favorite political science professor by far, I wish he was one of the permanent faculty!
Professor Singh is a very passionate professor. His readings are enriching and digestible. His perspective on political topics is also very refreshing. He is understanding and cares about the health and success of his students. This was one of my favorite courses I have taken.
DEFINITELY get to know Prof Singh if you can. He is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what he teaches. Go to office hours with him, because he is amazing at helping you find confidence and he also isn't afraid to give you clear feedback that is incredibly useful. GREAT MENTOR!
