Reviews of professor Lida Maxwell

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof Maxwell is amazing! This class was a seminar, so she encouraged us to speak more than her, but her input was always thought-provoking. The readings are definitely mandatory, and you get so much more out of the discussions if you do them. Overall, I loved this class and learned so many new things and saw many diff POVs. Definitely recommend!!!

Prof. Maxwell does a solid Intro to Political Theory class. Lots of reading, but just be sure to understand the big concepts. Overall not too bad, some parts of the class drag but others are really quite engaging.

This is my 2nd time taking her (1st time in PO395), & she is a very good lecturer. There's a lot of readings, and the grading is harsh but I thinkits bc of the TFs & how they grade (my TF said 'there's no 100 in political science' which I think is nonsense), but the readings are relevant and she is very engaging & passionate.

Horrible pop quizzes based on 60+ pages of intense reading every night. Grading criteria make no sense and material is poorly explained

Took this class for hub and it was not worth it. She doesn't seem to realize this is an intro class and has extremely high expecatations especially as a stem major. This is not an easy A
