Spring 2025 - For anybody interested in comparative politics or who needs another lower-division course, I highly recommend POL SCI 50 with Professor Homola. It's very well known that PS 50 gets a bad rep for being difficult due to hard professors who normally teach the course, but Professor Homola was an amazing professor. He is very caring and interested in student learning. Throughout the course, Professor Homola communicated with the class about how he could improve our learning and also accepted feedback for the format of the final, whether notes were allowed, and where we felt we needed the most help. For this reason, I found the class very enjoyable and one where I learned a lot. The grading structure is typical with a midterm and final, as well as a few homework assignments based on a country of your choice.

Fall 2024 - This is a really fun and easy class if you are interested in European Politics. Even tho I am not the most interested in some of the topics that were covered in this class I still felt like I learned a lot and was never really stressed about the class. The exams were online and open note with a fair amount of time to answer all the questions. The TAs were really nice and helpful like the professor. Some of the voting systems you may already have heard of just from interest in politics like I did but the class overall should be an easy A. There is one textbook but you can find it online pretty easily and there isn’t much reading. The reading is gone over in class and the professor encourages participation and asking questions. It is a class I would definitely recommend. Also he gave extra credit on the final exam so I think I got like over 100% as a grade in this class. Professor Homola’s classes I expect to become as hard to get as Bransetter’s in the near future so take them while you can.
