I LOVED THIS CLASS. The readings were a bit tedious, and they took time, but Professor Trojan was exciting and really engaged with our ideas. One of the first Political Science classes where I felt like I was actually being listened to. The final paper was long, but there's a lot of flexibility in terms of the prompt/readings you choose to use. I struggled with the writing initially, but Professor T held extra office hours and met with me multiple times to review the paper and talk through it. If you like political theory, I would recommend at least one class with Professor T!

Trojan is goated at UCLA. He's one of the most funny and engaging lecturers I have ever had. He manages to cover topics in an interesting and clever way that makes you think differently than you might have before. This class was a really interesting deep dive into some of our founding documents that your previous American government classes probably didn't cover. The class itself was graded on Perusall annotations and two "Interventions," which are basically like mini essays. Definitely take this class if you want an easy A with a light workload, but also want to learn something and engage with the subject matter.

I dropped this class after the first two weeks, so my words are not the most reliable on his class. You have to be a theory (i.e. philosophy) person to enjoy this class, or to even want to be in the classroom. I am sure that for theory nuts this class is super interesting, but if you can't understand the material, then you better drop it before it's too late.

I feel a little bit too happy once I hit the drop button. I got all As in my other classes and I thank God I dropped it for my GPA. Professor Trojan is a good person, and his class is very interesting. If only the course material is not all "alien letters" then I would continue with this class. Be warned that this class is beyond your imagination of hardness.

This class was fun. There was a lot of group participation within the lecture. We went over readings and discussed ideas that we may not have completely understood. He really liked to listen to our ideas and take on cases. I liked to learn about important cases that set precedents. The class consisted of readings and annotations you complete online through a textbook before every class. Then you talked about that in class. The final was a 14 page paper. It was tough to get started and pick a topic or frame a thesis for me personally. But he set office hours for everyone where he helped me get an understanding of what I should be writing. I ended with an A. I would definitely recommend office hours if you want to get a good grade on the final. That's basically what your grade is composed from.

I honestly dont think I learned much in this class. readings are overwhelming and very fast paced. pop quizzes probably once a week that are 30% of your grade. and are honestly what hurt my grade. The questions are pretty detailed and pretty stingy with points. He's a passionate and nice guy but lectures are a waste of time and the only reason anyone goes is because of quizzes.

Evil professor. Pure evil. He attempted sexual assault and made offensive comments to students among other things. He also came unprepared to teach and didn’t know what he was talking about. I doubt that he read the books that he assigned. Awful class! Worst professor at UCLA!

Dr. Trojan was extremely engaging during lectures, he was always dressed nicely (which made class feel a little more like class) and had a huge smile on his face ready to lecture. Every week, Tuesday's and Thursday's it was required that we submitted annotations on Perusall.com, they were due before class which was at 1230PM. It was a tedious task, a lot of reading which made the workload a little heavy. We would discuss the readings in class, Professor would typically ask questions and engage in the discussion with the students. We also had two mini essays, 4-6 paragraphs each due twice during the quarter which weren't too difficult, his instructions were clear and he gave great, meaningful feedback. I am taking another course with him since I did really well and also really enjoyed his class. Definitely recommend!
