class should honestly be renamed to Thucydides and the history of the Peloponnesian war because that's all we talked about

super sweet lady, her lectures were pretty interesting but she's an extremely harsh grader and will only give u a somewhat decent grade is if you just repeat what she says in her lectures, the readings are basically useless.

Tough grader. The readings were useless and the only thing that mattered was how well you regurgitate what she thinks.

Class can be a bit boring at times, however, she goes into great depth with the readings and essays/tests are decently easy. She is super nice and well knowledgeable! :)

Professor Behnegar teaches in such an incredible way in which retain as much information as possible. She is very intelligent and communicates key concepts impeccably. Very responsive to student questions, and emails, available during office hours, etc. Highly recommend.

Super knowledgeable and interesting lectures. Be ready to study for in class essays and memorize. When she says to ignore syntax and essay structure, LISTEN. The reviews saying she's biased against conservative males are ridiculous. Take if you're interested in poly sci and know how to study.
