Reviews of professor Eli McCarthy

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Take this class if you get the chance, it was very interesting and teaches things that everyone should know and learn about. I liked the variety of assignments - papers, group projects, presentations, and lots of group discussion. I will say that sometimes it was unclear exactly his point or what he wanted from an assignment but he cares a lot!

This course was terrific and I definitely recommend it to anyone! The course is very heavy on readings and participation, but you can learn a lot from Professor McCarthy. This course covers material that all impacts us daily and is very interesting overall. As long as you keep up with the work, this course is not overwhelming!

I was excited for this class, but it was not worth it. He is pretty problematic considering the course material, extremely nitpicky with grades, assigns readings as if we don't have other classes, and makes a lot of girls uncomfortable, including myself. He has clear favorites and this class will hurt your GPA more than anything.

Prof. McCarthy is a very caring teacher who is willing to work with you as long as you work with him. His class was my favorite of the semester not only because the content you learn is fascinating and important, but also because this class wasn't strenuous despite the amount you learn. Really good discussions happen in this class I would recommend

I really loved this class. One of the few that made me feel good about my choice to study in DC. Unlike most teachers who treat grades with hate, he actually makes you want to learn and listen to him more. His class taught me a lot, mostly because the material can all be so personal, and real in application. Id love to take another class with him.

good class! Not a lot of work; topics are interesting even though the readings are long; McCarthy says very little, but good professor overall!

The kindest teacher, he genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He does not talk much, the class is discussion heavy so you have to show up and have an idea about what's going on. Easy and fair grader. Truly the best.
