Margaret Hanson

This class was very time demanding and so fast paced it was difficult to follow along. After the first week I felt very lost, which was tough because class participation was a large portion of the grade. I would not recomend taking the class.

I took this class last spring and overall had a great experience. Although we did not have a discussion section, Professor Hanson made sure that discussion was a major factor of class. I think her policies on participation and AI use are quite strict, these are subject to change though. We had lots of reading, reading quizzes during each class (they were pretty manageable), two papers, a debate, and a final paper defense. The content of the class was very fascinating and I would recommend this course to anyone interested in politics in general.

Really interesting course- a lot of the theoretical framework is established very early on in the course programming which allows for engaging discussions as the semester progresses. There is a lot of reading and one major assignment, but otherwise the work load feels pretty manageable. I really enjoy Professor Hanson and am happy to have taken a class with her.
