Reviews of professor Nicole Bartels

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I took Women in Politics as an online summer course, so I don't know what it's like during a regular semester, but the course was very well structured, easy to keep up with, and interesting. Professor Bartels is also very kind.

Prof Bartels is a wonderful teacher and caring person. I will take another class with her next semester. She runs her class in a way that encourages discussion to facilitate learning. It feels like a high school class.

Professor Bartels is the best at GW hands down. She is the nicest professor, and is a great one too. Her American Presidency course is the best course in the PoliSci department. The course and material are interesting and Bartels makes it even better. If you participate, take notes, and meet with Prof. Bartels, you will do great. Take her 100%.

Prof Bartels was one of the best professors I've had at GW by far; she is an amazing teacher and obviously cares about her students! She provided clear grading criteria, good feedback, and was very accessible. Class was graded on participation, online quizzes, a blog post, and one final paper (worked on throughout the semester). Take her class!

Prof Bartels is an outstanding educator and individual. She is enthusiastic and well-informed. The class is discussion-based (do the readings and take notes). Participation is harshly graded, but it is balanced out with other assignments (e.g. discussion posts). She is available outside of class. I would definitely recommend!

She's wonderful. SO kind, great lectures, a good amount of assignments but she lets you review literally everything with her before submitting so there's never really a reason for a bad grade. Highly recommend her and all her classes.

Took her for two classes and am taking her again next semester. She makes it super clear how to do well in the class and doesn't take too much off for not participating. Quizzes and discussions are pretty easy and it's not necessary to do all the readings. Definitely recommend.

Bartels is by far my favorite professor at GW. She is an engaging lecturer who uses group discussions, interesting slides, and real world examples . We were often behind in class, but it was because everyone was so passionate about the conversation and eager to participate, so it was worth it. This class is super interesting, would take it again!

I'm not a poli sci major but this was one of my favorite GW classes. Prof Bartels is so engaging which leads to great discussions. Participation graded but people actually want to contribute. Very clear expectations for assignments & she emails every Friday with what's coming up. Super accessible - accommodating if sick, will review drafts, etc.
