Gary Gleb knows political philosophy like pilots know how to fly. I took this class over the summer. The class was intimidating because it involved a lot of reading, remembering and, later, writing. Not too mention Gleb's lecture which displayed his extreme abundance of knowledge, very high vocabulary, and endurance to speak an hour and half energetically and non-stop (still ready for more at break). But at the end of the day, Professor Gleb, was fair with his grading. However, I was not sure what he expected from students considering how in depth he is. Yet everything worked out.

Summer 2020 - An amazing class! The prof is super kind and helpful and the TA was amazing too! Just two essays that the whole class is based on, plus participation 10% which is kinda overwhelming but the professor and the TA is super specific about what they want and will support you to office hours to get to what they are looking for! Definitely learnt a lot about law and how philosophy of law works! Would recommend for folks who want to take a course about law but it is definitely more philosophy than law!
