12/26/2023 		This was Professor Haufler's first time teaching 406 and honestly, she did a great job. She is very knowledgeable about international economics and for topics she did not know as much about she made sure to do tons of research before class. She uses a website that grades annotations for readings so make sure to do them - the course only had 5 grades. We were allowed a note page during the midterm and final and the study guide was essentially the exam. The paper was a bit weird because Professor Haufler actually required us to use Chat GPT and critique it which was interesting. Overall I would definitely take another class with Professor Haufler.

He can get off-topic in his lectures for 406 talking about current relations and IOs (which is a good way to get off topic) but you'll end up not getting to learn as much as he wants you to. He will include some stuff you did not explicitly learn in class on the exam. He pulls a lot from the readings and refuses to give study guides or any very helpful advice for studying other than to "re-read" and "re-watch" everything. Obscure exam questions but is a seemingly fair professor in regards to absences and everything else.
