Ancient and Medieval Political Philosophy should ironically be called Ancient Political Philosophy because we actually spent only 3 classes on the Medievalists. However, due to the extensive coverage on Plato and Aristotle, i.e., most of the major works including Crito, Phaedo, Sophist, Metaphysics, De Anima, the class was more than intriguing and educative. I first got to know Plato well after writing my lengthy final paper on the Meno, Sophist, and Apology. Papers are not hard, because students decide the topics and we just chose materials that interest us. The only hard part may be the reading. We would finish a Platonic dialogue in two days. But it is overall pleasant for anyone who loves Plato and cozy winter afternoons.

Bert is such a knowledgeable person and he communicates in a very clear way. The course gives you a foundational understanding of the American federalist system and its complexities. The course was very grounded and we saw examples and applications at the beginning of each class. Grading can be a bit tough but overall a very rewarding class.

PSCI0211 with Christopher Klyza8 days ago

Klyza's Con Policy class felt dry at first, but by the end, I found it very engaging and interesting. The quizzes and discussions aren't bad as long as you do the readings, and the papers aren't too difficult. Klyza is super interesting and a wonderful instructor, and your grade in this class will definitely reflect how much effort you've put into it.
