The J-term WMD course also included a week in DC which was truly incredible and we met so many people in different fields. I would highly recommend this course and would 100% take it again. The final paper which was done in groups was truly rewarding as you get to focus on a specific region and their WMD problems to work through finding solutions. While this course was definitely on the harder side of J-term classes, it was worth it. There are a couple of books that you will read for the course and have to write 2 in class essays and one midterm for. Overall, Professor Yuen is one of the best professors at Middlebury and she is very enthusiastic about what she teaches.

Professor Yuen was an incredible instructor. She truly cares about the students and will accommodate them as much as possible. The class included lectures which were more so teaching us how to work out each set of games, problem sets every week, a final paper and presentation, a midterm exam, and a final. I enjoyed the course quite a lot and would definitely take it if you like thinking through different sorts of logics and games while also doing the math for it.

Amy Yuen is a fantastic professor, but this course is not for the faint of heart. If you are a political science major for the purpose of steering away from math and science, DO NOT TAKE. If you're willing to revitalize your high school algebra skills, take it. I found the course to be intangible from a polisci perspective, BUT it was a great challenge and super rewarding course. Be ready for a lot of office hours!
