5/19/08 Poli142J 1 3 4 4 emoticon smiley flag   Slantchev is very intelligent and a great professor. I highly recommend taking his class. He is one of the only unbiased professors I have had at this school (fact based lectures, not theory). However, he is extremely challenging. Do all the reading and refer to his lecture notes online.Be prepared to work, but you will learn a lot.
3/19/08 PS142 1 1 4 3 emoticon_undecided flag   Take this class... if you like having curveballs thrown at you on tests, high level math combined with incredibly intricate historical detail, and a disorganized (although interesting, engaging and funny) professor who changes the course requirements at the last minute leaving you trapped with a 10 pg research ppr due the day of the final
3/18/08 Poli142J 1 4 4 3 emoticon smiley flag   Seems v disorganized. Midterm was ridiculously long and graded hard (time breakdowns on it were for an 80 min class, not a 50 min class which it was). Were supposed to have a 5-8 pg paper due week before the final, but due to him messing up the dates on the rdg schedule, was changed to being due day of the final and changed to 8-10 pages.
3/7/08 PSPOLI 1 5 3 4 emoticon smiley flag   Slantchev is one of the nicest, funniest professors at UCSD, but his class is virtually incomprehensible to anyone with no prior understanding of game theory and the associated mathematics. Although HE himself is extremely nice, the class is, to the average math-hating poli sci major, ridiculously hard.
6/23/07 POLI142J 3 4 4 5 emoticon smiley flag   Didn't expect game theory to be part of the class so I found that somewhat boring. But the latter part of the class was very interesting and Slantchev exhibited his comical nature during these lectures. Seems like a nice guy. Study guide and lecture notes are very helpful. 1 Midterm, 1 paper (pretty fun topic actually)and a final.
