CLASS REVIEW
RPOS 386 International Conflict - Fall 2022
"This course has been so much fun this semester. It was not easy, it was intellectually challenging but Professor Lin provided interesting scholarly articles that stimulated very engaging and organic class discussions of the subject matter. Professor Lin is incredibly polite, fun, and approachable. He really made the class a lot of fun and can even be pretty funny from time to time. He is clearly a serious scholar and did a great job relating the class material to the rest of our academic careers. I had some really great discussions in this class this semester and I will absolutely take another class with Professor Lin."
"Po is an amazing instructor and I am very lucky to have had him. He is going to be an awesome instructor. The class was very interesting, discussions were stimulating and he was very understanding and accommodating"
"Professor Lin is passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about International Relations and security policy. This course is substantial and very well paced and arranged. The information presented was incredibly engaging. Professor Lin made the topic much more accessible, and also knew how to keep class light. Additionally, despite speaking English as as second language, Professor Lin was more than capable of leading engaging class discussions and communicating information in a digestible manner. Thank you!"

"Po made the course very personable and easy to pick up. He really wants his students to succeed. He accomplishies this by giving constant reminders of when things are due. That helps me not push it to the back of my mind and forget about doing an assignment or study for test."
"Great professor and is extremely understanding."
