Comment:
Gives weekly quizzes on the New York Times, to properly study you have to read around 60-80 articles a week. In addition you read usually around 50-70 pages of your textbook a week. Overall a tough grader on papers and other tests that she gives.

Comment:
Gives quizzes on the previous weeks New York Times every week, anything to do with politics on the front and national pages is fair game (aka a lot of articles). Around 50 pages of reading from the textbook every week, though it's not bad if you keep up. Unclear grading criteria and hard grader, with very short office times.

All she does is talk to you and expects you to know every single thing,as if you are to master it on your own. Avoid her if you can. Her lectures (class) is very very boring, and has a quite voice, can be hard to hear. She also requires summations of the reading every class; about a page which is annoying because that's what we do in class. TOUGH!

Did not like this teacher at all. Unfairly graded papers and boring lecturer. Doesn't involve the class at all and merely talks at you. Teaches it like it's a grad school class not a freshman class.

Extremely hard grader but a wonderfully unique woman- probably would enjoy talking to her outside of the classroom. She knows all the tricks in the book so don't try anything!

This is a 100 level class and she actually taught it like it was a 300. She was and unreasonable teacher and grader. If your deathly ill she doesn't give a sh*t, she's not understanding whatsoever. She said she would post our "dumb paper mistakes on her facebook page" what teacher would ever make fun of her students like that?

Given kudos, I?m inclined to say my experience is an anomaly. But this course was the worst of my career (and I've had some doozies). Could easily be re-titled ?Common Sense.? Lazy, not well prepared. Didn?t learn anything; scares me to think any of my 'mates did (you'd have to be really dumb).

Amazing teacher! Knowledgeable, passionate, and fun. Reading responses are a joke; she doesn't even look at them. Beware on her papers, though! She is a tough professor! You learn a lot. Very opinionated, but loves to argue the opposite side.

The class itself was nothing but political theory bs, but she is an awesome teacher and knows what she's talking about. Unclear at times, especially on papers, but overall very good.

Very student-centered with a sultry southern accent. Lays the Straussianism on a bit thick sometimes.
