Comment:
Took his Honors Middle Eastern politics class. Bersia is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about global politics, but he prioritizes everything above his classes. Easy A, but don't expect to learn much and don't expect any sense or consistency in his classes. And do NOT buy the textbook.

Comment:
If I didn't get an A I would want my money back. I learned nothing in this course. He's a nice guy but doesn't teach, the class is all about silly discussions regarding current affairs. He goes of on tangents. You'll watch a bunch of pointless videos and listen to some boring speakers talk about scenarios that will never happen.

Comment:
Perhaps the biggest dissapointment of my classes this semester, it was rare if he ever came to class. If you need a clear set direction in class Bersia isn't your guy, but if you're okay with no knowing what's going on it's an easy class. If all you're concerned about is grades he's an easy A, but at the moment he still grades on the +/- scale.

His classes consist mostly of class discussions with take home essay tests or oral group tests. Its a good setting and pretty easy.

Bersia is one of the smartest people I have ever met; up-to-date on everything! Often late or absent, unfortunately. Assistant will take over...usually shows a video. Otherwise an excellent teacher - he beleives in his students!

Very passionate about what he teaches in class. Is a wealth of information about so much. Very helpful and understanding outside of class. Lots of speakers. We had 2 take home midterms and our final is an oral exam

Very easy. You don't do much. He always comes in late and sometimes doesnt show up so the assistant brings a documentary to class. Didn't learn much but got published in the paper b/c of him.

Great teacher! He is a wealth of information, his class is interesting and assignments really help you understand the material. He often lets the class write their own tests which is awesome!

Best professor I've had. He really knows what he is talking about and doesn't give meaningless assignments. There are three tests but they are not difficult especially because one is a take home and the final is oral.
