If you read the textbook, and then use the slides in addition to the readings, you will do well in the class. Lectures are very straightforward, and he seems a fair guy and is young (cogent, does not ramble unnecessarily). The midterm practice exam he gives is much easier than the actual midterm, so be aware. The midterm consists of multiple choice as well as short answer questions. The final is similar to the midterm, with 70 questions (20 from first half, 50 from the second half). You pick 2/4 short answer prompts to respond to from the first half of the quarter, and 4/6 prompts from the second half.
I have the textbook pdf, and will sell it for very cheap, as well as answer any questions you need about the class! Please email me at *************
I would highly recommend taking this class with this professor. The lectures aren't mandatory , but they are really engaging, helpful, and funny. He blocks out some parts of the slides that he posts , but it is the same information as the reading. I missed a few lectures and never read the textbook but did just fine. The midterm was very easy and straightforward, and the final is the same format. There is one research paper that is 5-6 pages, but you have almost the whole quarter to do so. If you are looking for a GE or a class for the poli sci major I would definitely recommend this class.
He's a nice guy, but he is new. All his materials are taken from other professors so his slides do not corollate with his tests. What you read in the textbook, his slides, and his exams are all different. The vague wordings on his tests feels like an AP World History exam. Your TA makes or break your grade. My TA wasn't helpful at all and seemed cold at times. You have to go with your TA even if it opposes what the professor says in class. Discussions are mandatory though. He blanks out slides, but classes are not to mandatory. He does try to put in pop references to spice the class up a bit but unnecessary. The workload is low, but it affects your exams later on. Only take this class if you just need units. It is not helpful if you plan on taking upper division IR classes later on.
The grading consists of participation, 8 pg essay, midterm, and final. This class was relatively easy. Lecture is not really mandatory. I missed a couple times and ended up fine. He posts slide with blanks that encourage students to go to lecture but you're fine without going. He emphasizes some things that will be on tests. Like seriously listen to him when he repeats it. The essay required some research, but basically you could pick any topic that interests you relating to the prompt of course. Overall, great professor and great class
