Comment:
I appreciate Professor North's knowledge and passion about human rights issues, HOWEVER, an introductory course is supposed to give you a broad introduction to the subject in general, not just what the professor is interested in. If you have the choice, take this course with a different prof.

Comment:
There was nothing wrong with North as a professor. She knew what she was talking about, and delivered the information coherently. Personally, I just didn't care much for human rights, so everything she talked about was boring. There was no freedom to go against the grain so you might end up a communist hippie if you listen too closely.

Comment:
Prof. North's extensive knowledge in the field of human rights is interesting but inappropriate for an intro course; i learned absolutely nothing about the basic principles and structure of politics and government. Dont take this class if you want and need a foundation course in pol sci.

I got an A+ and really didn't do much of the readings. Lecturs are kind of disorganized, but the exam was very straight-forward and the TA's were GREAT (Tom!). Essays expectations were laid out clearly and exam review was thorough.

Comment:
The worst prof. for an intro course. Makes her lectures extremelly dull, so much so that half the class stopped coming half way through the term. Completely focused her course on human rights, which is NOT appropriate material for a general intro course

She seems to know her material very well. However, for an intro class she focused on a very specific theme.

great seminar prof. Not afraid to show her own views (which I think is a good thing unlike coddling high school students b/c they may not be able to lear to live with people of different opinions). V. helpful and accessable
