Ridiculous amount of reading but its certainly readable. Three response papers required that are "ungraded" (you get a grade in reality). Got a "check plus" on all the response papers. Take home final and midterm that you have a week to write. One person got an A on the midterm (he tells you). Got an A- in the class and was super pressed because I dont think anyone got an A.

This class was incredibly easy. As all the other reviews say, lectures are incredibly disorganized and virtually the entire class is discussion based. Readings were very good. I got a 100 on every single assignment. Go to class do the readings write the paper.

This was a decent course. We had different themes throughout the semester, like authoritarianism, democratization, identity politics, etc. and had to do quite a bit of reading prior to each lecture. Then the lectures consisted of Professor Bleich going over the most important points in the reading during class, following along with his presentation, and then having some kind of small group discussions toward the end. I really liked that each student had the opportunity to select any three countries from different regions of the world and to carry out comparisons between them in relation to each theme throughout the semester. The exams for this course were all essay based. If I recall, there was one at-home essay and then two in-class, timed essays for the midterm and the final. It seemed that Professor Bleich liked active participation and engagement from his students, so I think our quiet morning class kind of threw him off. But, the course was ok overall.
