Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Chasdi is really genuine and wants you to understand. His lectures are definitely long-winded and you probably don't ever have to do the readings, but he provides exam questions beforehand. He's always happy to go over stuff again in class or in office hours. He is pretty disorganized which is frustrating but its not hard to get a good grade.

Go to lecture, many readings assigned but I didnt do any. if u miss something go to office hours and he will happily repeat it. He gives exam prompts ahead of time and just recite the lecture and youll be fine. Professor did miss a few office hours without warning, (COVID applies to him too) and he has many office hour sessions a week.

Sweet man. He is super knowledgeable but teaching is NOT FOR HIM. He never responds to emails. EVER. His lectures are a two hour zone out period to play Roblox. Would not recommend taking his class, would recommend maybe getting a coffee with him .

He wants to be a good professor and truly cares but his lectures are so terrible and hard to follow. I actually enjoyed the subject matter and the way he tested us on concepts, if only he could figure out how to make a coherent power point and corresponding lecture. The reviews before exams are very helpful. He'll notice if you put in the effort.

Only a few reviews get it right. He is a caring man who loves what he does, and is extremely knowledgeable about IR. He is an extremely ambiguous grader with little prompts or guidelines given for papers or finals. He also has diluted the page with students he has personally asked to write reviews. The rating you see above is false, tread carefully
