Genuinely such a kind professor, takes time to know students by names and answers questions no matter how many. Sometimes would struggle to get through the whole powerpoint in one lecture, but it would normally occur due to questions or just her giving overly detailed examples. There are two writing assignments, one midterm, and one final exam.

Read the textbook, the lectures can very confusing, assignments are broad and leave you more confused then before

The best political science professor I've had. Professor Pando is so approachable and you can tell she actually cares. She answers your questions clearly and her emails are very helpful if you have any questions. Her lectures can be very repetitive and boring, but as long as you pay attention and show up to class you'll be good.

Decent professor. She grades very easy for the essays, however her midterm and final were slightly difficult as there's a lot of info to keep up with. She is however, extremely helpful during office hours and is ready to guide you if you have any questions.

Pando is such a sweet woman but she can barely get through her slides and she rambles on about irrelevant topics. Also, she lets people yap about nothing (taking up class). As a result, people started skipping her lectures, but then she made the final entirely from the lectures. The textbook is not necessary though.

A nice person but she struggled with lectures. I was willing to accept this as a flaw in an otherwise decent class. However, her idea of punishing students who stopped attending lectures by making a final exam purely based off lectures was uncalled for. I attended every lecture and still did poorly on the final because it was poorly written.

Textbook may not be needed but I would recommend it as half of the final was about feminism that was barely talked about in class yet did have a couple of chaps about it. Make sure to do your readings, my grade went from an A to a B because I didn't. She's nice though student questions in class take up a bit of time. Best of luck!

This class was my personal hell.

Dr. Pando is super nice and helps out during office hours. That being said, if I ever have to take a class with her again I am genuinely going to drop out. She rambles about things completely unrelated to the content and manages to say so much without saying anything.
