Reviews of professor Gary LaFree

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Multiple weekly readings of 30-50+ pages each, only 3-4 overall assignments, tests that will ask you about aforementioned readings as if you know the authors as personally as he does. Every 2 and a half hour class was slide after slide on data he's recorded that never brewed a discussion and just dragged. Decent guy but miserable experience overall

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The exams are really hard and the class is insanely reading-heavy, with some readings being 50+ pages long. He's a harsh grader and expects you to know or be at a higher level of knowledge when it comes to terrorism. He's a genuinely nice person but the class is not worth it. take a different 400-level class. can't tell you one thing I've learned.
