This course was really stupid and definitely not worth taking. PJ himself is pretty cool, so he may be worth it for a different seminar, but absolutely not this one. Writing assignments were explained poorly and graded too late to apply feedback, participation was graded extremely harshly, and the lectures were just Paul rambling on and on for hours about useless and frankly hard to understand material - I genuinely couldn't tell you anything I actually learned in this class. The "strategy methods" we learned were just pretty obvious facts masked with overly confusing language, we barely learned anything relating to AI technology, and I couldn't tell you what we went over during the innovation power section because I had mentally checked out of the class at that point. Unless you are super interested in writing about how the US can beat China in AI, don't bother with this class.

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.

I loved Professor Maykish!!!!! SO knowledgeable, such a nice guy, offers such constructive feedback for you. He showed up to every class so excited to learn and discuss. Really cares for his students and a great partner to Professor Usher.
