A brilliant teacher and outstanding gentleman and scholar-any naysayers are simply lazy and spoiled--easily the best TU ever had to offer--impossible to replace!

Comment:

The only reason I've taken him three times is bc I really needed those particular classes. Do not, not, NOT take classes with Dent. Arbitrary grader. Condescending, obtuse and snide. ESCAPE WHILE YOU STILL CAN, IT'S NOT WORTH IT.

Comment:

DONT TAKE DENT! i cant emphasize this enough. Im not bitter, cause i did pass, but i seriously recommend not taking him. Hes a communist, unhelpful, random grader, and very rude to students. Its hisway or the highway, so if ur conservative u better act liberal. He is the epitome of college educators

Comment:

Hate to say it, but this guy is one of the reasons why you shouldn't study POSC@TU. Everythings slanted to the left and grading is arbitrary.It's an easy B so long as you don't express a right wing view.POSC teachers in general@TU have a huge egos (why

Comment:

Ugh. Very boring. Obscure jokes that aren't funny. Rambles, doesn't answer questions. Grades very arbitrarily. Get on his good side. Shame no one else teaches some of these courses, but you can get through it.

Comment:

Can be a pretty boring class, but some of the info is interesting. The class is 3 exams and a letter to the editor. The exams aren't too hard, as long as you study, easy B. The paper is pretty hard. Everyone usually gets a B, no matter what.

Comment:

Very boring. Do not question him or you will be lectured to death. Very liberal, but course material kind of dictates that. Tough grader, do not take him unless you are interested in Latin America.

Comment:

Extremely arrogant and cynical. If you take his class, be warned that he is more liberal than any professor in the department, and if you question his opinion he insults rather than informs. His views are as skewed left as a Klansman's is to theright

Comment:

He's a good professor and the quiz and tests aren't that bad as long as you put the time to study everything. But the editorial assistance paper is very hard, only 315 words and he demands prefection. Put alot of time into that assignment

Comment:

Extremely arrogant, his extreme position to the left is clear in his lectures, and if you don't agree with him then he seems to take joy in making you feel really stupid. The class is not hard itself, it is putting up with him that will drive you crazy.
