International Politics & Economics

Relatively easy course but by far the worst lecture I took at Middlebury and super boring. All Professor did was read off her slides and they were always super vague. I'm writing this because I need to hit the 2 review threshold. She does not even teach her anymore

Professor Porteous was incredible because his passion for international economics was evident every day in class. He always brought in real world current events into our class discussions and was effective at explaining complex mathematical models on the board. He always was available for extra help in office hours and encouraged his students to ask questions. I would definitely take this class again.

A requirement for IPEC, its allegedly the toughest it gets in the major. Obie is Obie, he cares for his students and tries to get to know them, he teaches very quick, and is very passionate about the material. If Econ hasn't clicked in your head yet, this will be a more difficult course, but it is definitely doable. Go to his office hours, make sure you understand the problem sets. He curves well generally. Good luck.
