Comment:
Not a subject matter expert. Does not answer any questions. All feedback on the papers is about grammar. Don't take the class! The name and the subject are very interesting, but you will learn nothing from the class. All readings are outdated and everything he ever said proved wrong. Definitely is a no go class.

Comment:
Professor Betts makes you work for it, but he's absolutely brilliant and very respected by his students and the faculty. He knows what he's doing and while the class itself is tough, you get the grade that you deserve based on how much work you put in. He is very nice, although intimidating, and is always happy to help.

Comment:
Great class, great perspective, even if international institutions and technology get short shrift. Tough class but worth it. Great survey course, and even if some of the readings seem a bit dated they stimulate great discussions.

Comment:
Not very good at teaching. Not very approachable. Classes are like 2 hours of storytelling. Doesn't like questions and doesn't give a thorough response. His courses encourage little interaction with a course materials. Heavy readings but little engagement with content in class.

This guy is an IDIOT! His idealistic approach to international politics is an utter joke! He's been proven wrong on every major issue of global affairs! One can be liberal, but stupid and gullible; no, no, no! Perfect for SIPA!
