He was a super understanding and fair professor. If you are to take an online course for political science take his. I've never had such an organized professor, nevermind being online. Great guy.POLS1160 2025-12-14 22:32:55 +0000 UTC
Professor Agatstein cares so much about his students, explains things clearly, gives relevant examples, is very understanding about giving extensions + grades kindly. He would have a class every couple of weeks dedicated to letting us access his knowledge + ask him about things going on in the world from an IR perspective. Best professor I've had.POLS1160 2025-11-24 14:27:43 +0000 UTC
Professor Agatstein is an intelligent, organized, and kind professor. Overall, if you are looking for a good, chill class with a Professor who knows his stuff, take his class!! He is excellent at considering each student's needs while being fair to the entire class. His specialty in humanitarian crises is fascinating.POLS1160 2024-12-07 20:58:15 +0000 UTC
He's super chill. The class was weekly essays, and the same went for the final project. He's a really fair grader and was super understanding. Definitely a great online course, and managed everything well.POLS1160 2024-12-02 17:43:16 +0000 UTC
Great professor! The classes are discussion-based, and he always makes sure to explain the material thoroughly. Provides study guides for exams and posts all lecture presentations, which is super helpful!POLS1160 2024-10-19 22:39:17 +0000 UTC
I have never rated a professor before, but I have to, for Dr. Agatstein was amazing. I loved his discussions, as they were always interesting and relevant. He doesn't force you to reply. All assignments are argumentative essays, which I love. He responds quickly and gives great constructive feedback. Great class to take for NU Path or for credit.POLS1160 2024-08-14 03:41:09 +0000 UTC
