Erik Bleich

Prof. Bleich clearly is well-versed and passionate about this subject and has written extensively on it in his academic career, making this course highly valuable. Decent amount of reading but definitely manageable. He is great at communicating ideas and allowing for questions and discussion during lectures. Would highly recommend this course.

I loved the material in this class and felt like I learned a lot. The reading load was heavy, but much of it could be skimmed. The classes were very well organized. The only issue I had with this course was that the entire grade was based on three assessments, two of which were the midterm and final. These were graded extremely harshly given the amount of material we were expected to know. That being said, I really did enjoy the class, but it is definitely not an easy A.

Prof. Bleich is a really cool guy and loves the content he is teaching. He has a very human way of teaching the material and it was refreshing to take a poli sci class with him. That being said, he has a very specific standard for writing, and your entire grade in PSCI 103 with him is based off of three essays (two of which are blue books). If you don't want to tank your GPA, take this class with another professor.
