Love Professor Verghese and highly recommend taking a class w him, especially on the intro level. He's great at breaking down ambiguous or hard topics and incorporates his own research into the course. I found the content of this course a bit dull because it does seem like we do a lot of discussion on more "general" political phenomenons rather than digging deeper into specific ones, though it's obviously the goal for an intro class.

I really enjoyed taking this class with Prof. Verghese. The material was consistently interesting, albeit there were a few discussions that felt more appropriate for high-schoolers than college students. His assessments give you the flexibility to focus on topics of interest without being too demanding, and he always manages to incorporate some levity into his lectures, which makes them more engaging.

I really enjoyed this class—it was fun, low-stress, and super engaging. The workload was very manageable, and the fact that there were no exams made it even better. Instead of memorizing facts, we focused more on discussions and understanding big ideas, which made the class feel much more relaxed and interesting.
