Comment:

Participation is mandatory, demands people turn on cameras. Gave the option to do a paper instead of speaking for participation, but cancelled this option 2 weeks before finals and didn't let you make it up even if you weren't able to verbally participate during the semester. Let students talk about the news half the class, you don't learn a thing

Comment:

OK. Grade is based on two papers - 4 page midterm, 4 page final paper, & daily class participation. She urges you to turn on your camera and wants everyone to participate. More than half the class is spent discussing the news so read the news daily and have something to share. Barely learned anything in class about politics though....

Comment:

Overrated class imo, didnt find it that easy. Participation matters a lot, which is kind of unfair for students who cant. She is just more lenient for those who participate more. Everybody gets the same grade on their paper. Too much emphasis on current events news and we barely covered material in class. The reading material was p good tho.

I absolutely love her! She is super nice, and really knows her stuff. The class is really easy. All you have to do is participate in the class and write couple of papers and you will get an A in the class. I wish qc had more professors like her

Comment:

Prof. Flamhaft is a real gem. Because classes are online, she conducts her courses over zoom and requires cameras to be on. While this sounds annoying, I really recommend taking her class because she is a very educated and captivating person. She cares about her students. The key to this class is participation, so take part in the zoom classes!

Comment:

In the beginning of class there would be a group discussion on current events for the first 20 minutes then professor Flamhaft would lecture for the rest of class. She has a very thick accent which made it hard to understand at times. There were two papers- one final and one midterm. East class easy grade not a tough grader at all. Just do the work

I wish I had Professor Flamhaft for PSCI 260 as well! She makes hard subjects very clear and she keeps the balance in the class. Also she has a very sharp knowledge for political science. She's also very helpful, understanding and caring.

She is great, its not too much to earn participation. You just raise your hand and she writes your own name down. She isn't a hard grader in fact she is very fair. She gives one paper and one final which is basically vocabulary.

incredibly easy class. just participate in the beginning of the class when she asks about relevant middle eastern news. other than that there are 2 easy A papers for midterm and final that she pays someone else to grade for her. I basically never paid attention and stopped going midway through the semester and got an A.

she writes when you participate in class which is a lot of your grade so talk in class! There's a really easy midterm paper and in class final with separate closing statement so pretty easy class. You should get textbooks and have them opened during class so she thinks you read but you really don't need to just fake it. Overall pretty good choice

she is very smart and helpful. i like how she helps you to write your papers. i never wrote papers in my life and now after i wrote my seminar paper in professor Flamhaft's class i can say that i am confident enough to write papers. she gives you good grade if you do your part of the job. Most of all i enjoyed her class as it was conversational.

Very good professor! All you have to do is skim through the chapters to see what the class that day will be on. A must is a membership or someway to access a newspaper. Online version the day of the class works too! The first 20-35 min of the class is just discussing then she lectures very lightly. Easy grader, lets the students decide the papers.
