Reviews of professor Alexis Riley

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This class was amazing as it encourages discussions despite being fully remote last semester. If youre the type to banter about a lot of things then this class is surely for you. Not recommended for those who arent willing to participate. We had 3 papers in total but you have the chance to revise them until finals which can be a huge grade boost.

Professor Riley is so funny and each class has a heated discussion (in a good way) She is so real and so down to earth. She truly cares about her students. She does assign short periods of time to complete her essays and is kind of a tough grader, but its so worth it. take her class if you can! best politics professor at pace. (trust me)

I absolutely loved this class. You do have to do 3 papers during the semester that are up to 6 pages but she gives you plenty of time to finish them. The weekly assessments can be time-consuming but you just have to search in the textbook for the answer. She's super funny and you get to talk about recent events to relate to the topics in class.

She's a really wonderful professor who is super funny and clearly knows what she's talking about. Open to discussions with students during and after class. The only difficult part about her class were the essays. She's a tough grader and, if you don't put in enough effort, you will not get more than a B on each essay (3 total). I learned a lot!

Wonderful and pleasant professor. Her lectures are fun to participate in, and she tries her best to get to know all of her students personally. During Covid-19, she made the transition to online class easily, holding classes normally and was considerate of everyone's situation. All she gives is essays but is a tough grader. Just do your best.

She is INTENSE about attendance. She is very transparent that absences are her pet peeve, however, you will soon be so charmed by her that you won't want to skip. She is genuinely so fun and smart, you'll want to ask her a string of questions just to hear about topics she'll cover because she is just so damn knowledgeable.
