Really easy class. I stopped going to lecture after the midterm and got an A. The professor posts detailed notes from his lectures on CCLE so you don't have to go. Make sure you do the readings from the Kollman book since 20% of your grade will be based on a midterm essay you need to write regarding those readings. Not difficult, but necessary. I'm selling the Kollman book, if interested text me at **********

Easy class

I went to like two lectures and never went to discussion and got an A

>>>>>>>Don't buy the main textbook.<<<<<<<<
Exams and final essay can easily be accomplished through the professor's lecture notes.

This class is a great GE and GPA booster. The professor reuses old tests for the midterm and final with the exact same questions just reworded. GO TO THE TEST BANK. I can not stress this enough. Besides that, the professor and TAs are very knowledgeable and approachable. The breakdown of the class: 20% Discussion Essay, 20% Midterm, 30% Final Essay, 30% Final. Grades in this class are also slightly curved in your favor. For example, an A is 87%-100%. Extra credit is offered. If you took APUSH or AP Government this information is review, if you did not, this class will be interesting and easy. Really enjoyable class. I would take again.

Just memorize the past exams and you'll get an A. Only thing that I hated was the final essay and the readings. For me, I just read whatever was relevant to my final essay topic and I turned out all right.

The class and professor are pretty straightforward, especially because he posts all his lecture notes on CCLE. Also, to pass this class you don’t neccesarily have to do the reading, just make sure you go to the Test Bank for old midterms and finals. He recycles the same questions. Class content seemed a bit repetitive but it was definitely a perfect example of an intro class.

There's a lot of reading required that no one that I spoke to in that class ever did, except maybe for the midterm essay in discussion. It's pointless after that because the final questions are based on his last lecture notes. Average lecturer and tries being funny (a joke or two were), but he isn't too bad. He's a chill professor overall, it's just his slides that are boring.

Interesting and straightforward class!

Selling both required reading materials for cheap! Great condition. Message me at **********!

Selling the textbook he requires for his class --> "Reading in American Politics: Analysis and Perspective." Text me @ **********

Very easy class but Schwartz is boring and conceited. If you took AP Gov or APUSH you'll be fine.

Easiest class I have taken at UCLA. Stopped going to lecture after week 3. Pretty much the breakdown of the class is that there is a midterm, final paper, and final. How to get an A in this class: GO TO THE TEST BANK for both the midterm and final because he literally takes old questions off past tests and reuses them. If you are worried that isn't enough, no fear, he posts in detail lecture notes online that are better than showing up to the class itself.
