PLCY401 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/10/2024 |
This has been one of my fav profs ever at UMD. I took his PLCY401 class (which I was not super interested in from the offset), but he made the content super engaging and interesting. Our class was about 15 people and mostly discussion-based, but I learned SO MUCH more than I tend to learn in my other discussion-based classes. Every time you speak, he makes you feel understood, and if you're off the mark, he guides you in the right direction, and you actually learn. He doesn't post his slides, so you have to go to class, and the two essays he assigns are pretty demanding, but he is a very fair grader and does set his students up for success. This feels like what a college class actually should feel like - a challenge without being impossible. As a person, he is also super cool. he's super knowledgeable without making you feel stupid and really does care about his students. great class rlly recommend even if you have no background in International relations and national security. |
