Took her for comparative peace processes! Honestly an amazing prof. Gives amazing lectures! You'll really enjoy her class. Super interactive and fun, especially since it was her speciality. Also relatively generous! She allowed me to pre-record my presentation without any deductions. Though fair bit of warning, I don't think she's an easy A. But kaya naman with a fair bit of effort. Otherwise probably a B. For me the most challenging requirements were (1) the long tests and (2) the final requirement. The long tests were a mix of objective and essay. Usually identification for the objective portion and the essay is a mix of recall and application. All handwritten on bluebook within the period. Honestly you need to study p hard for it, especially since the coverage is usually a bit broad. But the good thing is she always makes sure to discuss everything! She doesn't leave anything undiscussed naman. During our first LT she graded pretty low, but the second one she was more generous. And actually she even adjusted the HPS of the first LT to make it better for everyone! But the final requirement was honestly the most challenging. In our case it was a peace process simulation, but for IR it's a model UN. It's a simulation of literally everything you learn in the entire course. So you'll literally be acting as delegates of countries (or in my case government/rebel delegates). Tbh I'm unsure how she graded us exactly for it, but we had to produce a written output by the end of the session. She was also looking at how we'd act in the roles. It honestly takes A LOT of preparation and reviewing of both your lectures and general research. I admit it was super fun though! And Doc Vene was always present and would offer advice/help as needed. Overall I would 100% take her! She has fun lectures and is a relatively generous prof. Just know you gotta put in some effort to get that A. Good luck!more

Work load will be on the heavier end at the start of the semester but that's only because she's trying to offload as much necessary information as possible for you to be able to do your research paper. From what I remember, there are several readings, workshops, and a presentation for the first half of the term. Then, well obviously, the research paper. In terms of grading, she's very fair. My tip is to just read the readings. A is very possible, but you need to put in effort for it.more

A-able qual research if you actually work

Probably one of the most experienced profs for qualitative research! Know that above all else, she forces you to challenge yourself. You can’t pick a topic that your just interested in, you must pick one that can contribute and helps society a little bit more. In terms of grading, you’ll have your overall research paper, graded drafts, workshops, and reaction paper to a specific issue. You will get the grade that you deserve. Definitely A-able with effort and consultations. Personally would recommend to anyone getting into research. It forces you to think outside of the box and genuinely have a want to care about your issue. Be innovative and challenging. You can’t bola your way out of her.more

Hi! I took her for POLSC 130 not POLSC 194 so take this with a grain of salt. Workload/requirements TLDR: manageable, well-distributed, arguably light! Reqs were reporting, discussion boards, and think pieces (end-module papers). OH AND ALL-SECTION MUN AS FINALS lol (super challenging tho) As long as you listen to her discussions and give in effort for said requirements, you're good ☺️ her standards are reasonable and she's a very cool, progressive, GOAT tita you could always talk to! Discussions Fun! Time flies fast bec she's engaging af. An average PoliSci major should be able to find much interest and participate during discussions (even though she never randomly calls on people naman) doc vene will always be iconic! take her! A-able with effort! 🤍🤩more
