Scott Kastner GVPT409Q Expecting an A Anonymous 05/21/2011	I really enjoyed this class. Professor Kastner is very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. There is a sufficient amount of reading, and class participation is important (I believe its 25% of the grade), but he is a fairly easy grader and an overall nice guy. If you are interested in international relations and don't mind really getting into the specifics of this topic, then I would highly recommend the class. If you put in the effort, do the work, and participate in class, it shouldn't be difficult to get an A. There are usually 4-5 readings a week, each reading anywhere form 10 to 40ish pages. Sometimes the readings can be a little tedious but most are pretty interesting and you almost always discuss them in class. There is a midterm, final, and term paper. He basically gives away the main topics for each exam - like i said, if you do the work, this class isn't difficult. The paper is really open-ended, you can write about whatever you want pertaining to the main topic. He is more than willing to help you with your topic or the paper in general. Overall, I would recommend this class and this professor.
