Her class is extremely boring, you don't need the textbook at all to pass. A total bird course as long as you dont mind sitting through the worlds most boring lectures.

all she did was read from her PowerPoint slides. I literally taught myself everything from google and still got an A. I was actually interested in peace studies and I didn't learn anything from this class that I didn't know before. DO NOT, I Repeat, DO NOT buy the textbook.

Dr. Skarlato is a real gem. Although her power point slides may not exemplify her passion for the topic of peace studies, if you engage in a conversation with her on a topic of interest youll see that she cares a lot about peace studies. The work load she gives is more than reasonable and very easy. HOWEVER, DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK.

This person seems to hate her job, dismissing class an hour early while insisting, "We're running out of time!" She dislikes the material herself, checking the clock frequently. International students receive harsher treatment, and she shows little respect for non-native English speakers. She also dressed unprofessional, looking disheveled.

Would recommend dropping the course if you are taking PEACEST 1A03 in the Winter. PowerPoint slides are extremely boring and bland, and the prof is far from helpful. The content wouldve been interesting if it was directed another way. Easy course nonetheless, but frustratingly boring.

The monotone speaking as well as the amount of writing on each individual slide presented made it a struggle to stay awake. Very dull. This courses content is VERY Leftist based. The exam review was basically "read EVERYTHING you've learned (hundreds of boring slides) with no structure on what was important. I would NOT recommend this course!

I'm still a student by the time I post this, but here is my end of the year breakdown: - A 2-hour exam that I submit as a PDF rather than the Avenue quizzing system (This is during COVID times) - A 600-700 word essay - A quiz AFTER the exam This course always makes me confused about what is even going on. We have not even been tested before.

She very smart, and very passionate about peace studies that is very obvious. But, her lectures are very dry. She has a monotone voice and she rambles a lot. She often goes off on many tangents. She shuts down everyone else's opinion, in her mind her idea's are always right. Homework heavy. Lectures missable if you like doing your homework.

She was the most boring prof I ever had and is not experienced to teach graduate level courses. I learned nothing about global social policy. She's a tough grader but doesn't provide any feedback or justification. Does not know how to facilitate discussion. Reads her notes and that's about it. She was not knowledgable in global social policy.
