A very engaging professor. She likes to start class discussions, even in a lecture of 500 people, which can get kind of annoying at times since they drag on for a very long time.

Pretty easy if you put in effort. All of the grading is done by TAs for 4 blog posts, which require a response to another student. Exams seemed pretty easy. I was not a very big fan of her lectures, but I still went to every class. She made a few careless mistakes and a lot of time was used for discussion that didn't benefit everyone...

POLS1150 was one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. The assignments, discussion posts and seminars are all easy to get 100% on if you put some effort into them. The m/c portion of the exam was not cumulative but the long answer was, Professor Mohan provides the questions in advance making it easy to prepare.

Dr Mohan was very accommodating and more than fair with her marking throughout the semester. I personally found the quizzes hard but the final exam was very easy and it was very easy to do well with the paper and discussions. Content itself was boring and long readings but not at the fault of the prof.

Very engaging lectures and she's super approachable. I've had two classes with her and for both, she made the final exam mostly based on the last few units so it goes without saying that helps a lot in the study process.

Truly an amazing professor! her lectures are actually worth attending, she doesn't just read directly off the PowerPoint slides. she gives useful information that always pops back up during tests and assignments. she is well-spoken and understanding. 100% would take a class from her again.

Mohan's lectures were so clear and interesting. The workload wasn't too heavy (discussion posts, quizzes, papers) - the papers were great for an intro class because you basically write one paper in 4 different steps, so useful for writing in other classes. Covers a lot of basic pols topics really clearly. Made me sure I was in the right major.

Best prof i've had in my entire time at uofg. So caring and very helpful in terms of accommodations. gives an extremely engaging lecture. skip lectures? you will fail the course, but they are actually worthwhile to go to. a week consists of lecture, an hour ish in videos, an activity, and a discussion post, quiz, or component of final paper due.

I've had Mohan for 3 classes now and she's arguably one of the best POLS profs here, especially with DE classes as she uploads voice overs for the more difficult units. Quizzes and discussions are easy as long as you do the readings and if you follow the rubrics for the assignments you'll do well. Only downside was the content was a bit boring

Only take this class if you are heavily interested in Politics, as someone who took this as an elective I wouldn't recommend it. My TA was an extremely hard grader, and seminar participation lowered my mark. the prof was good and had engaging lectures however you must be passionate about politics to do well in this class.

Professor Mohan is amazing!! She's a great speaker, keeps the content interesting and is very charismatic. It's important to go to her lectures, as her slides are simple and she mostly presents the information herself. The courselink was also organized, which is always a win. I highly recommend her and her class!!

One of the best profs at UofG. This is my second class with her and she is truly amazing. Cares for her students. Instructions for assignments were clear. Content was dry at times, but it was manageable. Assignments were relatively enjoyable to complete. I would love to take an in-person class with her.

I really enjoyed my time in Mohan's lectures. She is extremely knowledgeable in what she teaches and is passionate about it which inspires interest and participation in the class. My only issue with this class is my TA. It is unfortunate when a TA ruins an otherwise great class. Nevertheless, I would still take the course again!

Prof. Nanita Mohan, is a great professor who is caring and kind. Her class is content heavy in terms of reading however you are able to get a good grade without reading any of the readings as long as you keep up with the lectures and slideshows. Seminar attendance are worth a lot in this class but the work is fairly easy and marked fairly!

Prof. Mohan seems to be deeply passionate about the material she talks about; however, one thing I found with her is that she would only help or meet with students occasionally (office hours would be random) and would get us to speak with our TAs more than her. The course was overall easy; no midterm and the final exam seems pretty straightforward

This course was so wonderful that I changed my degree into political science. The lectures were clearly laid out, concise but doesn't go too fast. Prof. Mohan allows for a lot of participation within the lectures and there's space to form opinions and have civil disagreements of said opinions. Overall wonderful class.

Great professor, presented clearly and un-confusingly and was very knowledgeable about her area of expertise. Seminars were good too and I felt grading was very fair. I never once read the textbook or watched any videos but it probably would've been a good idea to at least skim. Not totally necessary though.

She is a pretty good lecturer. The seminars were annoying to go to. My seminar has literally 10 people in it so I found it super awkward. The content isn't difficult to understand. There was a lot of resources on courselink that was integrated into the class to help you study and stay caught up in content. Solid class.
