Most Helpful Review
Maybe I'm the only one who found the reading to be a little excessive. Professor Tausanovitch is the kind of guy that's super professional, is very young and seems new in the university education field. This is my assumption because I have found in the past that older professors go a bit easier on their students, and newer professors are a bit tougher. I thought the exams were okay, not ridiculously hard but not super easy. The content was somewhat interesting. I mostly took the class to at least be introduced to politics and learn about our country's government. I ended up with a C, but I'm sure if you try a little harder than me, you can end up with a better grade.

Fall 2019 - Professor Tausanovitch has nothing to do with the class besides being the professor it is listed under, it is all based on the TA (Kenton Card for Fall 2019). Kenton was not very organized, and not very helpful- I found the meetings to be a waste of time. It's nice that students can get academic credit related to an internship but do not assume this is an easy A just because there is not lecture - it is a decent amount of work to do the weekly essays as well as prepare the final research paper. I think if I had known the details, I would have not found it worth it to do it while doing my internship and would have rather taken an additional poli sci class where I could have learned a new topic.
