Gary Winslett

Each week is a different focus, looking at specific world political conflicts and relations. Winslett does a really good job telling the historical background of nations leading up to the modern international politics. The class consists of lectures and a discussion, with readings being assigned before each class. The readings aren't graded necessarily, but they're very helpful for lectures and discussions. There were three projects throughout the semester: A group oral exam, a group research paper, and a group presentation. These were for the most part the only grades of the semester save attendance and participation. Overall I learned a ton from this class and gained a lot of knowledge. I would recommend this to others.

I really enjoyed this class because the information was so engaging and relevent. Professor Winslett is very passionate about what he does, and it reflects in his teaching style. It is a very lecture heavy class and the majority of time is spent taking notes. There were three group projects throughout the semester and those were the only grades recorded minus participation.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and found the material very relevant. There were a lot of readings but they were interesting and not too hard to digest. We had one final group project and a few smaller assignments throughout the term.
