Phil is an interesting professor. He's extremely passionate about public policy and urges students to care about issues and get involved. He's also very knowledgable and extremely well connected, so if you are interested in government, he's an excellent contact. Be prepared to talk in class--there are always large and small group discussions and often an interactive game. Despite its length, class usually went by quickly. The coursework is pretty easy, although going to lecture is very important. I don't think anyone read the required books. There were a few short papers and a final project--no exams or quizzes. |

Nash is a great professor, and willing to help students out. Even though his class were 3hours long, it was definitely bearable with his sense of humor and activities. He has his ways of making everyone talk in class. There are no exams, short papers weekly (easy grader & extra credit too), occasional short projects (ie team debate), and a final team project. Also, I really enjoyed the class field trips to Annapolis for a protest rally and DC museum! You really learned a lot about real public policy, but not the textbook standard kind of way. I definitely recommend Nash. |
