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.",

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.",

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.",
