Her expectations for assignments are very unclear and no rubric is provided. I would only take this class if you have time for a lot of reading and are passionate about the social and political influences that affect lawyers. ",

If you're interested in law school, I would recommend this class. If you're not, it could be kind of boring. Overall great class and if you stay on top of your work, it's not too difficult at all.",

Take this class only if you're super into Russian politics (not current events related), otherwise it might be boring.",

My biggest issue is her essay criteria is unclear and she can be mean when giving feedback, which is unhelpful. The guest speakers are interesting and exams aren't that out of pocket if you attend class.  ",
