Calificaciones y revisiones
Está increíble. Gran profesor, gran clase. Thank you very much for this.
Very informative. Gave me a different insight into Russian thought especially in current administration of Putin. It seems that the Russians have been more afraid o the USA than the USA has been of them.
Units one and three are too long. Unit one should be divided into three units. Unit three should be divided into two units.
Great class and the professor did an excellent job relaying the information. Honestly, I wish it was a little longer and a little more in depth. Definitely, learned a lot.
