Reviews of professor Rachel Surminsky

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Class was okay, get ready to study A LOT independently, Google will be your best friend. Exams are difficult and tough graded but the final project helps with the grade. It is not an easy A class, don't take unless mandatory.

Professor Surminsky is brilliant and really makes political science incredibly interesting! Her feedback is great and the lectures are absolutely amazing! 15/10 would recommend!!!

Rachel made POLI 281 a delight during the pandemic! Coding in R is not easy, but her lectures and structured assignments/problem sets are the best way to learn, plus she's a really generous grader. She has a "no questions asked" guaranteed extension rule on ALL assignments and is one of the nicest profs I've had at Carolina. TAKE 281 WITH RACHEL!!!
