Professor : Tamara Small

Comment :
Do NOT take this course in class with Tamara Small. By far one of the worst professors I have ever had at the university. The lecture slides were pointless and unorganized. I learned more from this class by teaching myself through the textbook then attending the boring lectures. If you have to take this class, I highly recommend you take it with another prof or online.

Comment :
This class is pretty simple if you take it online as long as you do the readings. You're graded on 2 online midterms, 5 discussions which you have 12 weeks to do and a term paper. Prof. Mohan is an awesome teacher and is really quick at responding with answers to any questions you have. Even if this isn't a mandatory I recommend taking it if you have any interest in politics!

Very easy course if you take it from distance ed. One long paper but the rest is easy online discussions and two easy midterms. The final was easy too, take this course
