This course was super interesting and really well taught. The topics and time periods discussed are quite heavy, but Professor Prakash did an amazing job explaining the nuances and consequences of the time and actions of people. I really enjoyed this course and would highly recommend it.

I took this course in the fall of 2024 with Professor Prakash and Professor Ramaswamy. I appreciated their different lecture styles and how they have different areas of focus. The readings can be dense but both professors do a great job of going over them and answering questions during discussions. The topics covered in the course are highly applicable to other areas of study even if you are not an IGS major.

This course was co-taught by Professor Prakash and Professor Lee. The variance in teaching styles helped keep things fresh; Lee was energetic and inquisitive, while Prakash was knowledgeable and savvy. The course basically does a overarching run-through of the IGS major and the different facets of it. Definitely reading-heavy and includes some dense topics, however, once you understand them, it's applicable to more aspects of life than you would expect. The couple essays are really looking for application of concepts, so if you do that, you should score well. If I was a STEM major, I would have nightmares about this class. Would heavily consider taking again!
