If you go to lecture and do the readings the tests are super manageable and the two essays are not hard and we were given a lot of time and support.  He is clearly very passionate about this course and the enthusiasm makes lectures more engaging.  If you are interested in Econ and IR I would highly recommend.",

Doing the worksheets throughout the course makes writing the final paper so much easier and I would definitely recommend choosing a TNC for the topic. Textbook isn't super important. ",
