Comment:
I was so nervous to have Pahre as a freshman, but he turned out to be my favorite professor my freshman year. You do have weekly reading quizzes but they aren't too difficult and no exams. He's such a humble and caring professor, it's really easy to talk to him about any confusion in the class or worries! Would totally have him again.

Pahre is a cool guy. His PowerPoints are only useful if you attend class to get the full details. It helps to do the weekly quizzes during class.

This class had kind of difficult material but about what should be expected for a 400 level. He is a great professor with lots of experience and knowledge. I really enjoyed this class and got a lot out of it. Possibly the best professor I have had at UIUC

Pahre is an awesome instructor! He really knows what he's talking about, and the course is fantastic. You'll learn a ton of cool stuff and can actually use some it in the future. He is pretty clear about explaining things and is always willing to answer question. Also, going to class is really helpful into turning this class into an easier grade.

Amazing guy who really knows his stuff. If you go to lectures, you'll ace the tests, as well as that he gives you extra credit for sitting in the front seat. Awesome topics, and really opens up your eyes to what's going on. Would do this 100000 times over, simply because of how great the class was.

Comment:
He has a large participation grade, so you actually have to participate which sucks if you dont like waking up.Other than that the class was 3 papers and a final.I only read b4 the final and did fine.He had 3 papers, his grading is a bit ambiguous at first, you just have to figure it out after the first paper.Is boring if u have no interest in econ

I hated this class, it was so hard to motivate myself to go at 8.30am. The assignments were hard with very little explanation or guidelines. The questions on the online quizzes were hard and obscure. THIS CLASS IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

he took an easy class and made it hard for no reason. parhe thinks he is funny but hes not at all and half the time you feel like you are being talked down to. if you have somewhere else youd rather be at 8:30....like your BED...dont take his class.

I had high expectations going into Pahre's International Relations class, and for the mostpart I'd say they were fulfilled. We had no exams, just highly ambiguous writing assignments. He's a really nice guy, but his class is tough... especially for 8:30AM.

Comment:
Good, unconventional class. You don't need to read a lot and there are no tests, but the assignments are pretty hard (but not time consuming.) Prof. Pahre is great. This class was freaking huge, and he was still really responsive to individual needs, extensions, re-grading procedures, etc.
