Reviews of professor Emily Christensen

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very lecture heavy but she covers all of the readings so tests will be a breeze if you pay attention and take good notes.

Pretty good professor. She really explains readings so you can definitely get away with not reading. Tests are mainly based on what you go over in lecture and while there's no enforced attendance requirements, she gives some pop quizzes and doesn't use panopto/post slides. She really just reads off slides though which made lectures really boring.

Emily has a great ability to make confusing readings clear during lecture. She is also very caring and understanding, and her intersectional approach to political theory made the class so much more interesting than reading all bland old dead theorists. It will be easy enough to get a good grade as long as you pay attention during lecture!

She heavily focuses on lecture, but makes it pretty clear what will be required on tests. Doing the readings is probably a good idea but it's not 100% essential if you take good lecture notes and study them. Has a much more interesting reading list than most intro to Political Science classes. She does not post slides or use panopto.

This was by far the worst course I have taken. The instructor was extremely lecture heavy to the point where it became hard to retain information from the lecture. I went into this course to learn and instead I left with minimal enrichment from the course. The instructor also said derogatory terms and allowed others to say it as well, awful course.
