This class was super interesting and pretty easy. We had two reflections and a final paper in terms of assignments, and then readings and discussion posts during the week. All of the work could be done pretty quickly. Prof Verghese is a great professor, super fair in his grading.

This class provided a good review of qualitative methods. Professor Verghese is very accommodating and a fair grader. The material is, at times, boring, but Prof. Verghese did a great job summarizing the readings and covering trickier concepts in class. The only thing I wish was different was the structure of the class. There weren't a lot of opportunities for in-class discussions, and I wish there had been a bit more variety of what we did in class- like workshopping our research projects in small groups. Overall a good experience though!

Ethnic Conflict is a discussion-based seminar with very interesting readings and books. I really enjoyed the manageable workload and the quality of discussion in class. Professor Verghese is also so understanding while also challenging everyone academically, always asking questions.
