Ajay Verghese

Professor Verghese is my favorite professor at Middlebury. He is able to share his knowledge in a way that keeps you interested and engaged. Honestly this class should be extremely boring. Important if you intend to major in Political Science but boring nonetheless. Prof. Verghese saved it in some ways and made it more engaging. There is not a lot of work but the lectures and readings can be dense due to the dull subject matter.

Professor Verghese is a fabulous professor who knows so much in his field of expertise, yet still makes the class fun and engaging for those who may not even heard of the topic before. His enthusiasm makes you want to come to class for an 8am and his lecture style is easy to follow. He easily breaks down difficult topics so all students can understand. He is also very open to discussion and I loved the discussion section that was included with the class. He was able to guide it and encourage students to take the lead and ask/answer questions so we could better understand the material. Loved this class!

I highly recommend this class as a stepping stone into the department. Verghese is an amazing teacher, and the subject is fascinating. Just be prepared for long lectures, but it's worth it. Lots of reading.
