Reviews of professor Todd Vande Zande

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Seems that a lot of people dont like him because they failed to read the instructions or didnt follow them. Only assignments are weekly discuissions that are pulled right from the book, final/midterm and a project he made optional. Read the syllabus and put a tiny amount of effort and you will get an A.

You would be better off taking another professor. Although there is a grading outline in the syllabus, you can initially expect to get a lower grade based off of criteria that is not posted in the syllabus. Other than that, there are 200-word long weekly discussions, a midterm and a final where students pick questions and write a page on them.

Weekly readings with assessments on the papers that we read. Midterms and final was rather large with page requirements and citations. Decently difficult and while it was OK I probably wouldn't take it again.
