Super kind and quirky guy! His class is super unique— you get a situation and have to reach the best decision/consensus with a group of 4-6 people(you can choose to be with whoever every week). One downside is that the class can feel a little repetitive, as one class during the week is spent introducing the simulation, and the other class is reviewing the simulation all over again before discussing. Super easy class though that you can choose to apply yourself to and learn a lot, or you can slack off and also do very well. You have a few writing assignments with super loose guidelines instead of exams.

Professor Ramsay held a very interactive PLCY201 class compared to what I heard about other professors. Each week you complete a "simulation" where you explore a relevant policy issue and get together with classmates to talk and come up with possible policy solutions. Attendance is mandatory and a significant part of your grade. The rest of your grade is made up of 3 short writing assignments and 1 long one toward the end of the semester. He can be a bit of a tougher grader but he is willing to look over your essays before you submit them for recommendations to help you get a better grade. He is super nice and willing to answer any questions you have about the content. If you attend class and participate in the simulations it should be pretty easy to get an A.

Super nice guy. Let me rewrite some of my papers. As a STEM student, I'm awful at writing press releases and be decisive about policy. But he is super accommodating and answers emails really fast. Will give you feedback on your papers too if you write them early. So nice and easy to talk to, and he makes this class fun. Great I-series, I recommend!!
