Reviews of professor Bryn Rosenfeld

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Very chill class. Readings can be a little strange, but they're easy enough and you actually learn some neat things. She's a very fair grader. Overall, a great class and it's easy to do well with minimal effort.

Prof Rosenfeld is really cool and her class is interesting if you like the subject matter. She gives you all the info you need for the tests, but DEFINITELY do the readings and come to class to participate. Brownie points if you go to office hours too. Overall a solid choice for a POSC class.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Graded based on a paper, 2 tests, and participation. Lots of unnecessary readings assigned that are too long and often unrelated to the class for the majority of the reading. All aggressively boring academic readings, with a few actually interesting ones sprinkled in. Grades participation unfairly, and grades essays too harshly.

Prof Rosenfeld is an amazing person who cares about her students and is incredibly knowledgable on comparative politics, especially Russia. She does however assign A LOT of reading, which you need to be familiar with to get a good participation grade and do well on the final and midterm. Great professor, but hard class.

Class was somewhat interesting, a decent choice if you need to fill POSC upper division comparative. Graded on midterm, paper, final and participation. If you do the study guide thoroughly, you'll be fine on tests. 100% talk to her in office hours for the paper for guidance. Active participation matters a lot!!! Also a lot of reading

She had us read a lot of strange articles that were recently published. One concluded the income disparity between the US and Latin America was attributed to climate and soil quality. Rather than the expansion of property interests, feudalism, and capitalism. Take everything she says with a grain of salt.
