Definitely one of the best classes I have taken. There is a lot of reading, but the class is so interesting and she really knows what she's talking about.

Comment:

One of the most rewarding classes I've taken. Remick is engaging and cares a lot about her students. She also asks a lot of you, the papers are difficult to write and she knows it. There's also a LOT of reading but it's worth it because you learn so much, both about how to write and about how to analyze history through a comparative politics lens.

Comment:

I took this class as a freshman, which likely made my experience different because I did not have a clear direction for the research project, the goal of the class. She has great tidbits about societal phenomena and I'm sure she'd be amazing in her field, but this class was just not well organized and relied on student proactivity.

Comment:

Not the friendliest lady, and her paper requirements are very specific. But all around I enjoyed her class. She is very knowledgeable about revolutions and history. I wouldn't have a beer with her, but I'd listen to her ramble on about pre communist Chinese society any day.

Comment:

Took Remick for another course before this, loved it and got a relatively easy A. But Comp. Revolution is really difficult to get a high grade in. Very rigid requirements and not enjoyable reading/assignments at all. In general, I like Remick a lot as a professor - she's very nice and funny - but don't take PS 135!!!

Comment:

Remick is a fantastic professor, deeply passionate about China and Chinese politics, ridiculously knowledgeable and helpful, and fluent in Chinese to boot! She cares if her students understand, uses in-class skits and movies to enhance understanding. Midterm and final are both short essays. One large paper. Great class.

Comment:

Papers always had tons of helpful comments on them. She was super helpful in OH, although you are wasting your time if you don't go prepared. Assignments seem hard, but with effort are not impossible. Did well in the class by keeping up with readings, and really taking part in class lectures. Remick is very passionate and well versed in the subject

Comment:

Very passionate about her subject, good lectures. Only thing I had a problem with was that her assignments (mostly promts) seemed unclear and confusing, and when asking a question to clarify, answers were often vague. Otherwise, good class, readings are interesting and work load is manageable and interesting. Easy to talk too, helpful.

Refuses to help students. Started off the semester really liking her but ended up severely disappointed in the end. Regretted taking her class.

Professor Remick is great! This was my first ever poli sci class and it was challenging yet still comprehensible and not impossible to get an A. Her lectures were super interesting and she was very helpful in OH's and in her notes on papers. Totally recommend Remick!

Remick is really great. Not the easiest of classes but she really knows the material and cares about your progress. Assessments are fair and you will get plenty of feedback along the way. Engaging and clear lectures made class worth going to, even though it's mandator and I couldn't imagine doing well without attending. Overall a really solid prof!

Comment:

This was the worst class I have ever taken. It was treated as a history class and methodology was an afterthought. We had rigid outlines for our papers that we had to follow and ridiculously short page limits. If you are interested in a class where you can zone out, go for it, but if you want to learn anything at all, never take Remick.

Comment:

Not at all open to alternative views. Stuck up, rigid, but an easy grader. Don't expect much out of her class; you will be asked to blindly repeat stale PoliSci formulas for historical analysis.
