literally such an easy class - all classes are recorded you never have to go. ta was super duper chill and gave meaningful feedback that helps you do well on the midterm and final. grade was based on midterm paper, final paper, and participation all split basically evenly. midterm and final papers were both quite short (3-4 pages maximum) and were only based on one question each from lectures. overall super easy, and material was decently digestible.
Professor Parasher is one of the best professors I've had at UCLA. The class readings were manageable and extremely interesting. That being said, you have to read a different book every week, and it's in your interest to complete them if you want to excel on the essays. When I took the class, we read Carl Schmidt, Hayek, Arendt, Rosa Luxemburg, Gandhi, Fanon and a few others. Professor Parasher's office hours were tremendously helpful for improving my understanding of the class readings. I highly recommend going to office hours because the professor is a great conversationalist and is extremely knowledgeable about political theory. Professor Parasher's lectures are not only engaging, but also insightful. I found the lecture slides and notes very useful when writing my essays. Grades are based on two 5-6 page essay assignments for the entire quarter on the prompt of your choosing. Overall, the class was pretty chill, and I would definitely take another class with Professor Parasher. I genuinely enjoyed the course content and discussing political theory with the professor every Tuesday during office hours.
So easy. Sammy Feldblum was a great TA too! He posts lecture recordings and all the info you will need is in there! The readings are very manageable and discussions are no pressure at all. Honestly don't ever need to attend in person lecture if you can't make it.
