Even though it's a 400 level class this is by far one of the easiest classes I've ever taken. Assignments are due every sunday at 12pm but if you turn it in late you still get credit as long as you turn in something. The only thing is that since class only meets once a week for 2.5 hours, if you miss a day of class you will have to do an alternative assignment to get credit for participation. Prof. Nash is really passionate about this class, and you can really tell that he cares a lot about each of his students. You also go on two field trips throughout the semester - very fun and easy class for those who are interested in asian american studies and public policy! |

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. |
