Dr. Berland is great! She's so sweet and her class was really interesting. It's a one credit course that met on Tuesday nights from 6-7:15 which was a little inconvenient, but the speakers were all so interesting as they were GVPT alumni. You get a good range of careers that you can pursue beyond college; lawyer, lobbyist, businessmen, politician. The class was super small, so it made it feel like a Q&A which was nice. It ended after 10 weeks, too. I recommend this for those unsure of career options in the future, or an easy 1 credit course with a very limited workload. |

Excellent one credit course you can take that have successful GVPT Almuni come to speak each class on a variety of career fields. Outside of attendance, there are only two very basic assignments. Dr. Berland is an excellent professor and a genuinely kind person! |

Professor Berland is super sweet and willing to answer any questions students may have. If you like learning about environmental politics and institutions this is a good class, however, it can become a little boring at times. The grade in the class is made up of a participation grade, 3 short papers, a longer research paper, and 2 online exams. |

overall: class is very simple. you have 2 short papers to write & 1 larger paper that isn't even that bad, accompanied with 2 online quizzes. lectures are fine, but not necessary to attend. i attended because i like the routine of going to class. discussion sections were a bit boring, but also easy & attendance was taken so go. highly recommend this class to anybody. recommendations/heads up: -start thinking about your paper topics early & have your TA approve them just so that you know you're on the right track. -you don't have to do the readings/get the textbook. Professor Berland does a great job explaining the readings in class. the papers are also independent to the readings, so you get to write about topics you want. |

Class was so boring and you'll learn absolutely nothing but Berland makes it so easy to get an A. The class is 3 papers and 2 exams that are open note and online. Each paper gets harder but overall they're not very difficult to do well on. She gives you like 3 freebies to miss discussion section before you participations starts to go down, which I definitely took advantage of |

She was a good professor and is extremely nice, but she was almost TOO nice. I never thought I would say that about a professor, but it’s true for her. She was so excessively nice that it became really annoying in my opinion. She seems to constantly be afraid of hurting someone’s feelings and that worry consumes her. It actually gets in the way of her teaching a bit. Some people might love this style and her loving personality, but I personally hated it coming from my professor. I don’t think she could be strict or give exact directions if she tried. If you get annoyed by overbearing professors who constantly ask if you are okay, I would avoid her. But if you like that, then she is a pretty decent professor. But for me it was really draining. |

Excellent Professor. Knowledgeable, especially about India, but about comparative politics in general. She wants to see all of her students succeed and will move mountains for them. I highly recommend her! |

Super super sweet professor who's passionate about what she teaches and is open to further discussion and learning (on her part!). Barely any assignments - a couple of quizzes (short answer) and essays, all spaced out over the semester. A good class and a great professor! |

She is a really sweet person that loves to see her students participate. Her class consisted of one paper, a final paper, and an online final exam. Highly recommend her. 100% you won't regret it. |
