Reviews of professor Aila Matanock

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Solid choice. Not really anything extraordinary, but is ready to help explain topics of challenging things going around the world. Open to a lot of audience participation, but is still strict.

I took this as an intended poli sci major, and I'm glad I did. The class is interesting and very relevant. If you read the textbook chapters that coincide with lectures, you'll do great. Tests (no papers) were straightforward and there were no surprises-- she only put concepts on the tests that we read/heard several times. This was a great class.

Professor Matanock is very knowledgeable in her field of study. I really enjoyed the structure of the course, however, I did not enjoy the vagueness of her final and midterm reviews. Overall, it is important to complete all of the readings as they are the foundation for the course material. I found international relations to be very interesting!
