delayed from last semester and am missing her a lot! urban govt was one of my favorite classes at nyu - she's an engaging lecturer and also incredibly kind - she learns everyone's names and gives personalized feedback. not to mention quizzes, papers, and tests were all graded very kindly

She's the best professor I've ever had during my time at NYU. I love her class and she teaches very well and is very open to talking to students after class. If you can take her class, DO IT!!!!!

Payson is respected and knows so much about her field. Her lectures are consistently interesting and encapturing. Study the materials she gives you, there won't be any suprises on exams or quizzes, but you need to reread things once or twice. Exams are graded pretty lightly to make the average grade around a B+, but if you try it is an easy A or A-

You can tell she really cares about student feedback. she's very knowledgable and always prepared to clear up questions or concerns. There are several assignments and quizzes but they are doable.

One of the best professors I've ever had. Lectures were super interesting and exam grading standards were very clear and communicated well. Reading guides were given for all of the readings which was also extremely useful when studying. Would 1000% take again.

EXCELLENT PROFESSOR ! One of the best Politics Professor at NYU ! Nice, fair and interested in her students ! I really recommend her. You definitely have to work and show up to class, but she is extremely clear and fair in her grading. You have small quizzes, midterm and final ! Gives great feedback and gives extra help for grad future work!

Julia is an awesome professor. Her lectures can be a bit dull at times, but the lecture slides are online so it is easy to catch up if you have to miss one. She is very kind and helpful, and is a genuinely interesting person to talk to, so go to her office hours! The workload is easy as long as you read the textbook! Would definitely take again.

Easily the best politics professor by far I've had at NYU. She tries super hard to make sure everyone gets to participate and be active learners in the class even in 50+ people. She is super caring and will help you out with any and all questions you have. Also, she takes any and all feedback and really wants to make sure her students enjoy class.
