Reviews of professor Brian Palmer-Rubin

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The tests are almost impossible to pass, unless you understand every single thing. He tells you the test will be multiple choice, but it's actually fill in the blank without a word bank. He gives very few explanations as to what was done wrong. He makes you meet with him about the paper you have to write for the semester, but offers no help.

PR is a pretty solid professor. You can tell Political Economy of Development is his favorite class to teach. It was very informative, if not a bit boring at times. Grading is a little unclear, and most of the grade is based on a group project, final paper, and participation. Do your reading, ask for help if you need it, and PR wont let you down.

He's the worst. Doesn't care about you and if you miss a pop quiz and don't have a legitimate doctor's note, you will not be able to make it up. Weekly d2l posts, excessive reading, you need to know all the vocabulary words in the entire textbook (500+). 0/10.
