Fall 2021 - Professor Appel is by far the most amazing professor I have ever had. I took her IDS 1 class last quarter and learned so much, definitely use her office hours and ask questions. She's very clear and really politically active. I have nothing but good things to say about her! The midterm was an in class written essay (4 question I believe) and the final was a group project. She's AMAZINGG....it was like watching a TEDTalk every lecture

I had Burgos for both GS1 and 100B. I had very mixed feelings about him. His approach to teaching Global Studies is mostly conceptual, so that his lectures ended up being a little too vague to effectively get the point across. GS1 was fairly easy and straightforward though--just do all your reading and pay attention in class and you'll be fine. GS100B, on the other hand, was a little bit harder for me. There were no definitive ideas that I felt I learned in class, which, though I think might have been his point, left me unsatisfied, and I never really got to understand the point of the class. Burgos is a witty guy and a fair grader. Just be warned of vagueness.

Winter 2019 - There's so much potential (especially in this course!) for the material to be interesting and at times Hart hits the mark but, put quite simply, Hart is a BAD LECTURER. The class includes 1 midterm, discussion participation, 2 essays, and a final. The midterm and essays are relatively essay. Discussion ranges by TA...some are tough graders so beware. Final hit me hard; there was a lot of information to memorize and Hart does a bad job of clearly explaining what students should prioritize. Consensus: Nice person, but avoid her GS 100B course if you can.

Spring 2015 - Professor Mankekar genuinely cares about her students. She's one of my favorite professor, so much that I make a point to look up classes taught by her just because I liker her so much! The lectures are podcasted and she usually posts the slides, but honestly going to class you get a fuller experience and can laugh along to her jokes. The midterm and final are really inclusive of the lectures and readings, so make sure you skim them or just pay attention in lecture/discussion. The class (and most of her classes) are broken down grading as so: 10% - class and discussion participation 30% - reading responses (theres two so 15% each) 30% - in-class midterm (multiple choice) 30% - in-class final (multiple choice)
