There was a reading and 250 word response due before every lecture but the readings were always so interesting. I LOVE how she formats her lectures to be more like group discussions, keeping everyone engaged with the talk. 10/10",

    "comment": "Prof. Cramer is fantastic, but the students in 515 treat it as this bastion of open and honest discussion where people are able to candidly disagree with one another, and I just don't see it. I took it last year, and every table I sat at, all I observed was everyone (myself included) agreeing with one another.",

The weekly readings seem daunting but are honestly really accessible as far as political science journals go! I cannot recommend taking a class with her enough.",
