International Politics & Economics

Professor Porteous runs the course really well. Everything is laid out clearly, and the non-cumulative exams make the workload much more manageable. The material is definitely difficult, but the problem sets and office hours help a ton with actually learning the concepts. You can tell he’s very passionate about the subject, which makes the class more engaging. The exams are hard, but there’s a curve, so it balances out

The content of this class is very interesting and eye opening. However, I hated the podcast project that we had to do as part of the course work. I don't know how spending hours editing and recording adequately demonstrates how effective my learning has been especially with two other people.

The homework problem sets are graded pretty harshly but likely due to TA… the exams are not difficult if don’t skip lectures and attend some office hours or peer tutor sections. The professor is very helpful but you need to reach out. (For fall 25 but fall 25 reviews is not open yet)
