Winter 2025 - Professor Vavreck was my favorite professor in this cluster. She is a political scientist and focuses on the politics of the 60s, such as elections, presidents, the Civil Rights Movement, and polling. She is a very engaging professor with informative and engaging slides. She is a very fun professor and often connects old elections with ongoing politics. The class is made up of two papers, a music paper and a history assignment closing with a final. The class is not recorded, but lecture slides are posted on BruinLearn.
