This class did not live up to the hype for me. I attribute most of this to the quality of my TA, Zachary Courser. He was not good.

You really don't learn that much more than you probably already know from high school government classes since his lectures are mostly commentary, but I really enjoyed the class. However, there are a lotta people who really don't like Sabato, which I don't understand. I placed out of PLAP101 with AP credit, but I still took the class knowing there would be good speakers, etc. So if you're interested in politics, it's not a bad class to take.
