Knows his stuff but can't teach worth ****... speaks in faint monotone. Has pets. Worst Pol.Studies prof I ever had - sad he had tenure.

Not a good professor. Plays favorites. Can be very demeaning. Arrogant and rude.

Comment:

Should've retired years ago! One of the worst profs I've ever had the experience of taking. Speaks in a barely audible voice, tells stupid stories, plays favourites - imo, a prof to be avoided at all costs. He was the main reason I did not become a political scientist.

One of the most knowledgable people I have ever had the pleasure to study under. Dry wit a plenty as well. One of the reasons that I am a political scientist.

Comment:

A man of compassion, wit and a peerless grasp of the subject he teaches. Can be intellectualy itimidating but very open as well. Do your work and you'll be fine, anything less, then prepare to suffer the consequences. A veritable giant in his field.

Comment:

Extremely intelligent and witty prof. Be prepared to answer anything that comes your way, as "I don't know" is not a satisfactory answer. I learned a lot from his classes.

Comment:

Extremely intelligent. Compassionate about his craft... and willing to share. Prepare to do the time if you enroll in one of his classes. Can be demanding! But, just being privy to some of the wisdom he has is a definate benefit!

If David E. Smith says that Roy Romanow will speak to the class, Roy Romanow WILL come to the class, no matter what else he has scheduled that day.
