This class was not well structured in preparing students for the project. But Professor Salma is awesome, and despite not showing she cares much about students, I think she does. She is one of political science's most famous scholars so that's a plus. I would take the class again.

Group Project at the end is the only thing you're graded on. She's really smart and if you wanted to learn, you could learn a LOT from her. Her class is structured in a way where you can get away with not studying anything the entire quarter and still get an A, so long as you pay attention in section and have a prior background in statistical analysis. The class structure is She's very sweet, she's new so the other comment is giving her a hard time. I'd take her class again though :)

This class was such a let down. It seems the professor is new to teaching and it shows. The TA should have been teaching. There was very little guidance for what ended up being quite a big group project. The professor is not one for constructive criticism, so if you want to be lulled into a false sense of security that will backfire whenever you get a grade, take this class.

Just trick a friend into taking this class, ask them to share the readings, and you’ll learn just as much as they do.
