Reviews of professor Eric Van Rythoven

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Great prof, definitely up there with the best at Carleton. If he teaches one of your courses, youre definitely in luck.

Super chill and nice prof! He's so organized and the content of his lectures were always interesting. He makes you want to learn more about global politics and IR in general, because he uses examples from all over the world. His assignments could have been a bit more specific, but his exam was pretty fair. Would definitely take him as a prof again.

One of the most chill and understanding profs I've ever had at Carleton. If you ask for an extension on something he will give it to you with no questions asked as long as you have a valid reason. Course is a bit lecture heavy, but he tries his best to make the content simple to understand and mixes it up with videos and answering questions.

For a 4th year seminar class I feel like I'm back in first year. In total there's 17 graded pieces of work of varying sizes plus participation. No room to breathe in this course. Every week you're doing something for marks. Grading criteria is detailed but meaningless/unclear at the same time. Class is long and repetitive. Terrible topic selection.
