3 papers, 25 points. midterm & final, open note. but she is a mess she gave us the wrong midterm then made us do extra projects to make up points for her mistake. she expects u to just read & know. 50 pg reading a week which is 2 chapters. yells when ppl talk when she is. she is nice but not good @ teaching. unorganized. okay grader.

She is really funny and chill, but also very knowledgeable in politics . She does a pretty good job at being non-biased during political discussion which makes the class feel more inclusive. She sometimes struggles with organization, but other than that she is a great professor!

There are weekly online tests, so be prepared to read. She grades attendance which can help boost up your grade at the end of the quarter. Class participation matters A LOT, so you would have to do at least 3 presentations do get an A, which you can do group presentations. It will be an easy class if you put in enough effort it should be an easy A

Going into this class I didnt really know what to expect. I didnt know a whole lot about politics, but I can say that this class has sparked an interest. The assignments are really clear and easy for the most part. The quizzes on the other hand are a little challenging, read the book! Overall ide is a great choice!

I took her American Government class and it was really interesting but it was a very time-consuming course. There were a lot of videos and articles in the modules, but the assignments were pretty easy. She has so much extra credit that I wouldn't worry too much about quiz scores. Definitely recommend

Dr. Ide is a good teacher. Her lectures are long and sometimes boring but not bad in general. Sometimes she's unclear about assignments & when they're due. Most assignments are peer-reviewed & you have to do like 6 peer reviews a week which is annoying. Watch lectures, turn in work on time, read the textbook & you'll be fine. Lots of extra credit 2

I would totally take this class again. There are assignments you have to peer review, the final is optional. Her lectures are pretty long but take notes, as the tests cover the lectures. Her grading policy is great and you will do class discussions and respond to students. She emails back quickly. There is a bigger project at the end, but not hard.

I liked this class a lot, the material was engaging and interesting (for the most part), and it wasn't hard to get an A. Lots of essays and peer reviews but the grading is fairly easy. Do the readings and watch the lectures and you'll be fine. Final is optional.
