Reviews of professor Mara Marin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Participate in discussion even if you do not feel confident. Use her office hours. You will pass with flying colors as long as you keep communicating with her and use her office hours. I am grateful I did not take these other reviews to heart. I have learned more than I thought I ever would.

Mara ran an introductory course like a seminar course. No clear explanations were given about the theories, and each lecture was 50 minutes of her asking students what they thought the text was saying and then saying mm, I dont think so. Often discussion became ludicrous because Mara did not direct or guide students and instead engaged in debate

Professor Marin is a really funny and kind professor, any issues I had with the class was because I just don't grasp political theory (moreso reconstructing arguments) as much as other Poli Sci topics. Regardless the feedback is really descriptive and the lectures should be mandatory because they are so helpful to understanding the material.
