Dr. Narine is a great professor, once you get to know his teaching style. He may seem a bit off putting and scary but he really just wants his students to do well. And be prepared to answer questions in class to prove that you've done the reading.

I see Dr. Narine has a dad. He really cares about you if you show interested on the class, however he is not an easy marker. ALWAYS GO TO CLASS, let him now whenever you can't go. Read the chapters before the class, and if you fell lost don't be afraid to meet with him he is very open for office hours. One of my favorite Prof.

He is a good prof, classes are taught from power points which are notes from the text. In my class he gave tests on the news so that is extra reading. The papers are REALLY long, but he is open to talking about them and walking you through it if you bring an idea. Best to start them early. Also, he gets really ticked when you don't come to class.

Comment:
It's disappointing because although I learned so much from his courses, his essays are brutal. I received the worst course mark I have ever received in my entire university career. So if you're just looking for a fairly interesting class I highly recommend, if you're looking to maintain any sort of GPA don't do it.

Gives long and very difficult assignments to which his lectures are no help at all in. Very tough grader for both papers and tests.

Comment:
Narine is one of the great P Sci professors at STU - He's fairly witty, but perhaps has a bit of a distaste for American politics. Loves to tell anecdotes. He's easy to approach with questions and gives insanely detailed feedback. If you write a paper, expect typewritten notes as well as hand-written if he has the time. Very constructive critiques.

He expects a lot of writing, and his monthly quizzes aren't the best judge of how well you know the material. Still, he knows his material, he's approachable and the class is interesting.

My favorite professor in all of STU. Always helpful, open for discussions, very approachable, funny, nice and intelligent, but also professional. Asia Pacific, esp. ASEAN is his expertise, so to take this course with him was very exciting.

Still my favorite professor, hilarious and extremely intelligent. Super approachable! This is his expertise so if you love him as much as I do definitely take this course! The course was largely based off the text book and a few articles. No current events on the final! Mark is made up of: attendance mark, 2 papers (minor and major) and a final.

Very knowledgeable on subject matter. Very approachable and willing to help out if you ask. If you show that you are trying to learn you will do good. Seems to enjoy the B range in marks but getting an A isn't impossible. Think outside the box and you'll be fine.

Good professor, knows what he is talking about and makes it interesting. The textbook is used for the entire class, his power points are based off of the text (word for word). MAKE SURE to follow current events - they will be on both exams. Definitely willing to help. Also hilarious, he will grow on you.

He demands a ton of writing, a minor 10% paper at 10 pages and a major paper at 15 pages. Easy marker and not hard-assed but you will constantly be reading and writing.

Though Dr. Narine seems like an overall good prof, and is very well versed in his course content (international relations), he is not very good at explaining things in different ways. Also, his somewhat monotone voice makes it hard to pay attention during his lectures.
