Attendance is not mandatory because basically all the information and needed for the midterm and the final are found in the reading . Technology poses an extreme obstacle for this Prof. Lectures are EXTREMELY boring she is even less personable one-on-one than she is whilst lecturing. Only grades that matter are your mid term and final.

This class is horrible. Lectures are dry, she skips through slides FULL of text, doesn't post slides, and somehow sucks the life out of interesting material. Class is incredibly disorganized and the readings often don't have anything to do with lecture. She seems to give the same lecture over and over. Skips back and forth through time periods.

The information you learn in Nash's class is phenomenal. However, her class requires A LOT of reading. Staying on top of the reading and attend lecture and you will do well- but you have to be willing to put in the work.

Material is super interesting, but she presents it in the most boring way. She refused to use a microphone and she speaks so quietly. Attending lecture is definitely mandatory. Take intense notes in lecture and only doing the readings in the reader. The exams are ID's and essay prompts, heavy emphasis on name dropping and treaties.

Sweet lady. She is so knowledgable about the content. She lived through the conflict in Lebanon and is just so full of rich detailed stories. She will make your heart sink at the last lecture, she truly cares about teaching and her students. Class is hard, but do all the reading and LISTEN to her lecture and you will get a good grade.

Amazing readings. Loved the content of the course. Horrible teacher that just rabbles on and says nothing. Interrupts students and is really rude.
