Dr. Ross is a great teacher I would highly recommend him. This class was a very hard class and required a lot of reading and a lot of work but it was all very interesting. My only problem was the discussion took over too much of the class, which ended up being one guy trying to convince the rest of the class of facts that he clearly just made up i.e. Bush killed more people than Hitler. The multiple chioce parts of the test were tough but if you did the reading you will be fine, the essay portions of the test were simple and he gave you the question about a week ahead of time. Gives students a lot of freedom to pick a topic for the final paper which was about 8-10 pages. Overall a great class and a great teacher.

I would not recommend this class. Most of the students in this class are freshman and trying to get in the core curriculum. Dr. Ross made the lecture very boring and the class had nothing to do with CURRENT would problems. It was all history. Your grade was based of 2 midterms and a final. Plus two papers. The test were kinda tricky and his study guides weren't very helpful. When I went to his office hours to get help for the exam he basically said it's in your review and sent me on my way.

I wouldn't suggest taking this class unless you are a Political Science major. Ross doesn't seem to realize that most students taking the class are mostly Freshman and mostly not the major. The class consisted of two papers, a midterm, and a final. I came in expecting to learn about CURRENT world problems, not the history of politics, and I was sorely disappointed. Ross taught like all of the students were PoliSci graduates and NO ONE understood him. Overall, extremely difficult and boring. Wouldn't suggest it.
