Michael Sheridan
This course was fast-paced with lots of reading, with the material being long and detailed. The lectures were amazing, and Sheridan is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the topics he talks about. He is a tough grader, but it is fair. I learned a lot and gained a new perspective on many relevant issues.
Prof. Sheridan is clearly enthusiastic about this course and I find it enlightening that he constantly brings his own research and fieldwork into the class(the course is marked CMP, but his fieldwork lean heavily toward African communities). Overall, this is a course that made me start to genuinely appreciate getting an education. Procrastinators, be aware that Prof. Sheridan isn't super accommodating with extension requests.
