Cons: She lectures on generalities instead of talking specifically about the software. So you pretty much have to learn the software yourself or rely on the T.A. (which I couldn't really do since my TA didn't really teach).
The class revolves around a software called SPSS. It's included in the book that you have to buy. Each week, there's a chapter of homework to turn in. They range from 2 pages long to 15+ pages. I found the software to be incredibly NOT beneficial. I don't believe that I learned ANYthing based on how this class's curriculum was formed and how that curriculum was then taught.
- 2 midterms
- final is a 10 page paper (5 pages of graphs and 5 of text explaining an experiment you conduct independently in SPSS)
I scraped by with a (B-) but this was my most stressful class (since you HAVE to get a B grade in order to stay in the GVPT major like I am).
Cons: Not actually about Government and Politics
Teacher and TA's were very unclear
I was able to pass the class without going very much and missing two homework assignments. The first midterm is considerably easier that the second. My TA was very hard to understand, as are all the others from what I've heard.
Cons: the hardest and worst 100 level course ive ever taken
Cons: Not the "government" you expect to learn. Long hours in McKeldin because it was the only place to access program for homework. Long tedious homework.
I wanted to learn about government, not statistics
Cons: Statistics
Cons: A lot of homework
Pretty easy class, just pay attention.
