You definitely have to stay locked in and keep up with the material, but overall it’s a pretty fun class. If you pay attention and put in the effort, you’ll be fine. Make sure you come to all the lectures as most of the discussions revolved around the lectures rather than the readings.

Despite the discussion sections that the class had every Friday, the class overall just felt so incredibly lecture heavy that it was hard to stay focused. The readings themselves were fairly simple to understand and powerpoints were always posted on canvas so I could review them at a later date, though there was very little engagement during the class itself.

The political economy of security was primarily a discussion based seminar where student leaders guided the course. The application of political history and focus on current events was incredible. I enjoyed the final research project to design an investigation and propose a project related to readings from class and security. There were no lectures and Professor Glenn always took the back seat in discussions. If you like leading discussions, this is the class for you. But if you want to gain more in depth experiential knowledge from professor Glenn, I recommend taking one of her 200 level classes instead.
