Murray Dry
All students who major in political science should be required to take a class with Murray Dry. This class was invaluable in teaching me the foundations of the US Constitution and the nature of freedom. The reading was constant, and the exams were difficult; however, I found this class to be rewarding. Prof. Dry cold-calls on students and definitely has his favourites. Ultimately, this should be a requirement for all poly sci majors, and I'd recommend to all students looking for a challenge.

Difficult and challenging for a first year seminar, but it is very rewarding and helpful for understanding complex texts and improving writing skills. The readings he assigned were classic and definitely worth reading. He is extremely knowledgeable and very patient during office hours.
I took this class in my first semester at Middlebury, and though I can't say I would recommend that to anyone, I still believe everyone should take a class with Murray Dry at some point during their time at Middlebury. One thing about Professor Dry is that he truly loves the material, and that fact is clear throughout every lecture and discussion. The readings are hard, and I definitely had moments where I felt lost, but overall, I did enjoy the class.
