Reviews of professor Ashley Anderson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Great teacher with lots of passion for her field. She's a little hard to access outside of class but the TA's are very easy to get into contact with. Her lectures are available on canvas and are very in depth. She also includes lecture summaries which was very helpful. The exams are hard but nothing impossible especially if you attend class.

Dr. Anderson was pretty good for POLI-130. I thought it was a difficult course, especially for an intro level poli course. Papers were graded harshly (based on your TA). Lectures were very interesting and Dr. Anderson allowed for 5 class skips and 2 recitation skips. Lots of reading, but I didn't do any of them and did just fine in the class.

She was good. 130 is very theory based, but I'm pretty sure she is the only professor you can take it with. Despite this, that is okay, she does a good job engaging the class with content, and you can tell she is passionate.

This class was harder than I expected, but if you put the work in it isn't bad. 2 papers, midterm, final, and weekly quizzes make up most of the grade. There's a lot of reading as well, but you don't really need to read it in depth. Anderson is a good professor, gives good feedback and gives pretty in-depth lectures.

One of my favorite professors! She is incredibly engaging in lectures, very easy to pay attention and retain information. The papers are not hard if you don't wait till the last minute to do them. Weekly quizzes, but they aren't hard if you do the readings and go to lecturers. She also drops the lowest quiz grade.

Professor Anderson's lectures are entertaining and her TAs grade everything pretty easy.

Ashley is clearly passionate about the subject. She is extremely nice and helpful, but isn't very accessible outside of class. Your grade is dependent on two papers, a midterm, and a final. The papers totally depend on your TA, some are very generous, some are very strict. Take Eric Parajon if he is still TA'ing, such a nice guy.

Attendance is taken but you get 5 skips. Lots of this class depends on your TA. Try and get Ezio Wang if he's still TA'ing. If you get a good TA essays are easy. Exams can be pretty tough.

Honestly one of the best professors I've had so far. Her lectures are very interesting and the class is very fair grading-wise. She is deeply knowledgable and passionate about what she lectures about and she is very relatable. There is a decent amount of readings which I would recommend to do if you want to do well on the quizzes and essays.
