You learn a ton with him and he's actually interested in what he's doing.

Comment:
Our discussion section was just watching some good foreign films, which was great. He reinforced his points with relevant examples from the developing world and had a very clear understanding of the developing world. And the class wasn't that hard. Multiple Choice was lame though, you'll have to read the text. Exam part of essays were easy points.

Comment:
Good class; I-clickers make it fairly interactive. Elkins is a fine lecturer especially considering that the politics of developing nations isn't too exciting of a topic to most people. Most of the movies were entertaining. My only gripe is that too much weight was given to the geography quizzes.

A bit monotone, but very clear and the information presented tends to be very interesting. Nice guy too. Heavy reading and tough TA's, but an A is not impossible.

This class was interesting, and most of the movies were great. He is a little boring but at least he does more than just read the lecture slides. The TAs are HARSH GRADERS, the first exam was tough because we had no idea what they wanted, but if you learn after the first exam exactly what they want, then the other tests aren't bad.

Bad public speaker, boring, shows useless movies that are a waste of your time. Take this class with a different teacher if you can.
