Winter 2016 - Professor Anderson really cares about his students, but goes about it in a pretty rude way. He is really blunt and laughs at students' responses to his questions. The class on the whole was easy, though. Each week you have to write a 500 word (usually less) response on the CCLE forum and respond to 3 classmates' posts, attend lecture, and at the end of the class you have to turn in a 5000 word essay. He never told us the breakdown of the grades, so I'm not sure of the percentages for each of those. He is really confusing when talking about the paper, but if you go to office hours he makes a lot more sense. He goes on a lot of tangents to his days in politics and they're interesting but not really applicable to the class. Update: the whole grade is your paper and he grades it incredibly arbitrarily. Do not take. Also HE BRINGS HIS DOG TO CLASS :)

Winter 2019 - I loved this seminar so much, particularly because Zaller loves his work and wants other people to love it just as much as him. It did require a good amount of writing, but you were able to work with a partner and the topics were very interesting! I genuinely enjoyed taking this course and would recommend if you are interested in political parties!
