This class was dead easy but honestly so disorganized it was funny. Just take another Public Affairs class. The assignments are extremely vague, readings are pointless, everything's pulled straight from the textbook, it's 3 hours when the class could easily be an hour long, and Prof. Covington maybe goes through one slide every 30 minutes. It's actually impossible to pay attention; I couldn't even imagine doing this in person. I learned nothing. If you want an easy A sure just take it but it's actually so mind-numbingly frustrating to sit through this class for 3 hours every week.

Professor Covington was okay at lecturing but not great at most other things. It didn't help her that her classes were almost 3 hours long and she is not an engaging lecturer. Her assignments lacked detail and structure that they desperately needed. Even she didn't seem to know what she wanted when you asked her about them. Two of them required knowledge of Excel which she did not teach, neither did she seem to know how to use. Not a great class, not an awful class.
