POLISCI 401
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Maggie is the worst professor I've ever had. This is an upper-level class, yet she reads PowerPoint slides word-for-word to the class and nothing but the basics is ever discussed. Tests are ridiculously graded -- with the curve, 30% was a passing grade! Learned nothing whatsoever.
