IPEC0240 with Obie Porteouslast month

Professor Porteous is very passionate about the topic and explains everything very well. The class moves quickly and definitely takes lots of time outside of class. Not the easiest class but very rewarding.

IPEC0304 with Gary Winslettlast month

Professor Winslett is the best. He is very knowledgeable and loves the content. There is a lot of reading, but he goes over most of it in class. The assignments are very manageable. This is one of the most valuable classes I have taken at Middlbury.

IPEC0240 with Kristina Sargentlast month

I took the class with Sargent and there were exams that were on the surface level fair and the content was what was discussed in class, but the way she graded it was completely unfair. In class she even mentioned how econ grades needed to be lower and she was carrying out that task. Don't expect the homeworks to be easy or grade-boosting either; AI is useless for them. For the final any exam you nmissed was added to your finals weight.
