This class was very boring. The subject material is quite dense and research-heavy, so if you do not enjoy reading research papers on political psychology, I would avoid this class. Additionally, Perez is not the best lecturer, presenting in more of a meandering lecture style. What he presents in two classes, the TA's present better in one class. However, it is not impossible to get an A in the class. Perez gave up to 3% extra credit (meaning a 90% could turn into a 93%). Your grade is based on the following:
Attendance 10% (section)
Quizzes 20% (completed during section)
Short papers 40% (20% each)
Final exam 30%
Attendance is earned by showing up to section, the quizzes (given every 2-3 weeks) can be challenging so make sure to do the readings, the papers are manageable although the prompts can be unclear, and the final was a take home paper where we had 12 hours to answer 2 questions. The first was more general and we had to answer it in 2-3 pages while the second was more specific and we had to answer it in 1-2 pages. Overall, this class isn't too difficult but it is fairly boring. I will say that if you want to get involved in research, you should take this class as Perez is known for being a professor you can somewhat easily do research with.
