Interesting class. worthwhile even if you aren't a politics major

From what I've gathered you either love or hate Sanders. Personally I dislike her. There is a ton of reading, she goes very quickly through lectures, grades are based on 2 mult. choice tests (on which often wording is confusing & we'll try to justify answers her later, my TA has even admitted she doesnt always understand what answer Sanders is looking for) 2 papers and a final, and has a very liberal bias.

great class

Lots of reading, and quite a lot of things that are confusing

Professor Sanders is a great professor, but her quizzes will throw you off. Her teaching style is far from normal, but her passion for hte subject definitely shines through in her lectures. She knows everybody's names and is very involved in getting to know her students.

Incredibly easy class, but the professor is incredibly liberal and repetitive. Basically focuses on one simple idea for two weeks at a time.

This class for me personally wasn't that great because I have core conservative values and Professor Sanders seems to push liberal idealogies a great deal. She's scatterbrained at times, but overall the class was OK.

It was an enjoyable class with good readings for the most part, and it isn't as difficult as the grade distribution makes it out to be.

Very interesting material, and while Sanders has some days where she is just downright poor, for the majority of the time she's an engaging lecturer. Hopefully this year was somewhat of a fluke, but be prepared for some 'weirdness' and just bear with it. Class isn't too difficult; lots of material, but it's interesting and if you study it, the tests are straightforward and the papers are graded fairly. Lots of opportunity for some interesting debate should you get some good students in your discussion group.

The professor was hard to follow and not a great professor. However the class was quite easy and required minimal work.
