James Douglas

There is no one better to take this course with! Jim Douglas is a legend and it is really enjoyable to take a course from someone who has played the game. You only have to write 4, 3 page papers and he's a pretty chill grader. You also get to meet with Phil Scott. Couldn't ask for a better experience, 10/10!

I recommend the class. The class was very informative and interactive about the VT government. There is a field trip to the state house, which was very cool, and you get to interact and see officials. The class values participation and requires you to get involved. The material to me was very interesting.

While we did learn a solid amount about the history of Vermont, I feel that the title of this course is misleading because it was solely history, with little discussion on politics other than current news. Additionally, the two-hour length of each class without a break would not feel as monotonous if the in-class lectures weren't just a recap of the readings. Professor Douglas is cool though.
