PLCP 4220

Honestly the best politics class I have taken at UVA!! The class heavily deals with budgeting and economic policies, which I personally found really interesting. The workload is not bad at all. There are two take home exams (both are 10 pages-essay format), 2 vocabulary quizzes (memorize the definitions and give an example), two weekly budget diaries (find an article related to budgeting and you basically have to write about a page summary on the articles). Readings are about 100+ pages each week; but you can honestly skim the readings for the most part. Overall the class is really good as it ties into macroeconomics, international relations, and budgeting. I got an A in the class, which I didn't expect at all to get.
