Reviews of professor Sean Ingham

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Sean is a cool guy and obviously cares about his students, but his explanations of concepts leave a lot to be desired. Ive had to rewatch podcasts or short concept videos several times before understanding a lot of the crucial steps. I get it, game theory isnt as intuitive as one would believe, but I would pass on taking a class with him again.

Great Professor, assigns excellent readings that I really enjoyed and all of the essays and exams are very relevant. Highly recommended. Definitely take this class if you are interested in policy making! Get ready to kick your reading comprehension into four-wheel drive!

Professor Ingham is a great lecturer, he is systematic and accurate. The 110C reading selections are especially good. There's a lot to get out of his classes in the 110 sequence if you read everything and take thorough notes. You will likely have to do all of the reading if you want to get an A, and I appreciate that!

First, Game Theory isnt easy. Theres no way around that. He did a good job of explaining the material considering how inherently abstract it is. The reading load was usually less than my other classes, but that didnt mean it was any less work. If you read the lecture notes, readings, and take good notes (super important), youll be fine.

Prof Ingham is a really nice guy and very caring about his students. Exams are very fair and representative of the material. I took this course over summer but practice and reviewing the homework to make sure you understand the material will get you an A

Overall good professor. He cares about his students. Sometimes, it was a bit difficult to understand or follow his explanations but he was always willing to take questions and spend longer on topics that were confusing.

Although he doesn't necessarily lecture in the same impassioned manner a number of professors do, Professor Ingham has a fantastic way of explaining course content and breaking down more complicated concepts. He is much more approachable than he might initially come across as and makes a potentially tedious subject easy to understand.

As a math major whose never taken PHIL or POLI classes before, I was genuinely surprised at how much the content of the course intrigued me. Ingham is monotone, with often disinteresting lectures, but he is nice and his weekly quizzes are a piece of cake (even if you didn't read). Learn the easy concepts in depth, rather than the hard ones to get A

I'm not sure if this is just because I took this course over the summer, but this class was difficult and no one was able to earn anything above an A-. The essays are graded very harshly and without a clear criteria, so it is hard to improve and seems arbitrary. Ingham is also monotone and lectures are very boring. Would stay away from his classes
