Good lecturer, all quiz material was covered in lectures/slides. Midterm grading was difficult and not explained clearly, make sure to ask for clarification. Generally easy class, just make sure you know whats going on.Rate My Professors ↗
Denia is super nice and a fair grader. The midterm is graded blind and the final testimony you go over a lot in discussion so it's easy to get an A on. Lecture attendance isn't counted and slides are posted, but you have to go to discussion. You get one miss regardless of any excuse so beware of that. Topics are interesting and I learned a lot.Rate My Professors ↗
This class with Garcia is very easy. Lecture attendance is not mandatory and the slides are posted, but go to discussion for attendance. No exams, just a paper for the midterm and final. Easy course for Public Policy minor. Be ready for class activities in both lecture and discussion, however.Rate My Professors ↗
TA's grade blindly, and they are very tough. Only two actual assignments in the semester, so it is tough to pull your grade up.Rate My Professors ↗
I learned a lot in PA 200- Prof. Garcia's lectures were very thorough and she did an excellent job covering potentially sensitive subjects in a respectful manner. Weekly quizzes are pretty easy, especially if you do the readings. Overall a decent class, but definitely go to your TA for additional feedback on papers as the midterm is graded blind.Rate My Professors ↗
I would definitely recommend her. All of her lectures were very interesting and she is very respectful when talking about sensitive topics. Sections were also very engaging and pretty fun. The weekly quizzes are a breeze if you go to lecture (or just do the reading).Rate My Professors ↗
