Reviews of professor Briana McGinnis

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. McGinnis was wonderful. I did not know what to expect getting into poli phi but I learned a lot from her. If you want to do well, you just have to do the readings and participate in the discussions. Her quizzes were great because they really helped me understand the principles. The midterm and final were not hard to get an A if you did the work

A good professor, not too difficult. Heavily relies on discussion rather than lectures.

Dr. McGinnis is extremely intelligent and passionate about political thought. She challenges students to think critically and out of the box about political issues. There is no correct answer to most of the questions/assignments she gives you but you must support your argument with the readings. There is a TON of reading that is vital to the class.

Dr. McGinnis is knowledgeable and hilarious. She is very charming and I have taken her classes every semester since she started teaching both online and in person. She makes classes fun but you will learn. There is a lot of reading so unless you are really interested in the subject, don't take her class for it. The best polisci professor at cofc.

Professor McGinnis has a great personality and that shows in her lectures. You will have multiple easy online quizzes, two midterms, a paper, and a final project that can be a podcast or an essay. The class is reading intensive. You cannot make a good grade in this class without reading the textbook and the tests are based on the readings. 4.5/5
