William Usher FGSM355 Expecting a B- Anonymous 12/10/2024	Chip and Bruce were really great professors who made a 2 1/2 hour class go quickly. They brought in very engaging guest speakers and actually talked about the readings. But that being said the readings are crazy. They are expecting students to read 100-200 pages a week but I would have AI summarize them and I was able to keep up in class. Attendance is mandatory and you need to participate. We had 4 papers and one oral presentation and they are definitely difficult. I am usually a straight A student and these papers were the most challenging things I have done. The writing style is very different but they take time to teach you how to write the way they want. I recommend going to office hours with your TA and that will really help. Overall, the class is awesome so if you are willing to end with a B I would absolutely recommend taking it.
Paul Maykish FGSM355 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 11/17/2023	Dr. Maykish is a true educator. Not only does he come with an amazing background in national security & the intelligence community, but he is as engaging a professor as I've ever seen. He genuinely cares about everyone's learning & will spend time with each student to develop them as writers & thinkers. His class is such a positive vibe - cannot recommend enough. Be ready to work & be challenged. Give yourself time ahead of assignment deadlines - they can be hefty, but are so worthwhile. This year, our class time was Thursday night 7-10pm, but I never needed coffee or felt the desire to skip his class because of how he ran this seminar.
