Murray Dry
PSCI
Despite what many may say, taking this class with Dry was really interesting. As long as you ACTUALLY do the readings and def read the spark notes to understand, you will do fine. My only warning would be that he cold calls and in discussions he expects everyone to speak.
Good class. Lots of reading, and you really need to do it, but the grading is fair, and I learned a lot. If you don't like cold calls then you won't like this class. I took this class on zoom, so it might be different now.
Dry is certainly a tough pill to swallow, but once you get into the rhythm of the class and get on top of the readings, then lectures and class discussions are more rewarding, and the exams are not as intimidating. I would recommend this class as an intellectual challenge, but be prepared to read and participate in class.
