The course is has interesting content and a great professor, however the assignments are pretty difficult but this is balanced with the fact that there is no midterm or final exam.

the content is mostly research methods that can be applied to any research study in political science and all the social sciences in general.

fantastic. Todd Alway is the best professor I've had in the political science department so far. He explains things in a simple way that makes it easy to understand and you don't feel overwhelmed

I wish I knew how much research was involved in the course, I think that the outlines/course descriptions don't make it very clear how much research work is involved in this course.
