Amy Yuen
PSCI
Love Yuen as a professor, but personally would not take it with her again. The course material is engaging but I felt that she was not accommodating enough. Discussion sessions were extremely boring as we were often asked to do group work that felt meaningless. Very, very tough grader, especially for the essays.
Professor Yuen is extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about International Politics. You will come out of the course with a proper understanding of state systems and relations. You are given one week to write each essay—which are somewhat challenging. Prof Yuen grades everything fairly, yet it's not an easy class. The midterm is only three questions which makes it tough to receive a good grade if you miss part of one. This class is a solid one for non-majors.

Great class, very easy. Lots of fascinating discussions and readings, if also depressing at times. Easy midterm and papers, but be prepared to do the readings: they're very much worth it if not that required.
