I took Third World Studies before. Very interesting class and Prof Cort got me thinking differently. Really like the fact you can use laptop in class and fewer course works compared to other Hu and Social Science classes I took before. Look forward to taking his class again

One of the best HUSS professors. He will make you think. You only need to write one essay in the class - the final paper where you can choose the topic and there is no page limit. One in class exam and one take home. You can also use laptop in class. Overall relaxing

Took International Politics. Easy class overall. Takes attendance once in a while. Some exams are take-homes. Just need to write one research paper at the end. You can use laptop in class

Things are kinda repetitive. Attendance is required. Took both International Politics and Third World Studies with him. Heavy readings normally one chapter per week. Feel like International Politics is easier than Third World Studies. Nah there you go

Comment:
Nice guy and seems generally knowledgeable but assumes every student is 18-22 years old, lacking military experience, untraveled, monolingual, uninformed etc. Responds to questions with irrelevant information that does not address the question asked. Uses Guyana/Nigeria as examples, provides no bg info, wonders why students stare at him blankly.

Comment:
Professor Cort is a great man. However, in my third world countries class it felt like he repeated the same three or four stories every week with slight changes to them. The class is definitely oriented more towards individuals who aren't knowledgeable of global issues. His final paper requirements are very vague.

Professors Cort gets off topics from time to time in lectures. Had him for international politics before. Be prepared to read 40+ pages of chapter per week, also weekly paper, exams, essays. At the end, learned a lot . Not an easy A or easy course. You need to work hard to get a good grade. Take him if you don't like to slack off

I graduated in 1998 and had Prof Cort for many Economics classes. An amazing man who grew up in a small South American country. His knowledge and stories are wonderful. Stay awake, you'll learn a lot about the world outside of Boston.

Prof. Cort is the man!! Such a cool dude with wild stories (sometimes unrelated to Econ). Subjects are easy to understand. For some reasons, his cellphone tend to go off pretty often when I was at his class !!!

I LOVE CORT. He has the best stories that sometimes relate to his lectures. Sometimes he doesnt know what he's talking about, or doesn't really understand what a student asks, so just babbles about something else. Only thing that bothers me is that sometimes he'll cancel classes 10 mins before it starts so you dont know untill you get there.

Pretty much an easy A class. Just as long as you go twice a week, then you'll be fine. Loves to get off topic about hunting and crazy stuff. Great guy too, knows his stuff
