Review:
Cruz is an amazing professor. Random, but amazing. Be prepared to have very jumpy lectures--there are a lot of random ideas thrown out and it is up to you to synthesize them into an analysis of comparative politics. She is ALWAYS at her office hours and willing to help and also willing to make appointments outside of her office hour times. The reading is not necessary until the two take-home exams. But be warned--the TAs (especially Leonardo) really want a lot out of those exams, so be prepared to put a lot of work into them to yield a good grade.

Workload:
The reading is not necessary. The two take-home papers were not bad. Recitations, however, were a complete waste of time. Do not have Leo as your TA. He mumbles throughout the recitation and talks about women's body soap. Utterly pointless.
