Gregory Ramsay PLCY101 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/11/2023	Dr. Ramsay is a very sweet man - grandpa vibes. I had him in Spring 2023. However, unfortunately, his lectures and class are incredibly boring. His class is an easy A almost all of his quizzes are found online (this is why everyone likes the class). Most of the class did not attend lectures because the class was easy and boring. He is nice but old.

I'm not a policy major but I took this for a gen ed and ended up loving it, mainly because of how kind Professor Ramsay is. The class is very easy and interesting, each week is a "simulation" about a real, relevant public issue and you meet in groups to discuss your solution. Three press releases and a final paper but they are not bad at all. Take this clas!

His TA's take attendance in discussion, but there his no attendance for lecture and he posts the notes. I never had to use the book for the class and I never really did the readings either and I still got an A+. There are a few big assignments and an online/open book exam. Ramsay takes the time to grade your paper himself and leave comments. He is extremely knowledgeable, yet approachable and will definitely work with you if you need help.

Still go to lecture though because he gets sad if no one does. I would recommend doing the readings because he chooses really interesting ones that are super relevant to the topic. The class isn't hard at all, a midterm and a final that are all found in the slides, and a final brief that's structured so its not too much work.

He is so understanding of students and more than willing to accommodate each and every one of them. He does an excellent job of grading and it is very fair. The way the final policy brief is structured is so that by the time it is already due, the majority of it is finished. He understands how students work, and using this structure made the entire assignment more approachable. Seriously, he has a good vibe.
Gregory Ramsay PLCY101 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/23/2021	The four stars are mainly for the class content. It is kind of boring and the reason is, is that professor Ramsay stands at the front of the classroom and literally reads off each slides for 45 minutes. So if you do attend lectures, it can get pretty boring. However, he does post all his slides online, and the midterm and final are all based off the slides (and online) so they are easy. There are two papers in this class and a group project, but if you put in the work, you are bound to get an A. I do really recommend going to lecture often, and participating in discussion because he does participation grades that at the end of the semester are out of 150 points, and getting a low grade on that can mess with your average. Also, go to discussion because the TAs take attendance. Additionally, only Professor Ramsay does the grading, not the TAs. Overall, this is not the most interesting of classes although, it is a great class to get a good grade in.
