If we had an award for the worst and most unorganized professor he would definitely win it. We never got our midterm back and he always rambles off topic.

Comment:

He is extremely knowledgeable of U.S. and International Laws. He is not a tough grader and will work with you if you do the work. Use the book to follow the lecture because it helps a lot. He is hard to understand over the a/c so sit in the front if you want to hear him and participate.

Comment:

This class was a boring nightmare. He is biased. Always talks bad about Trump and Trump supporters. Has a low voice. But if you're taking a heavy course load and want one less class to worry about I suggest taking him. Just show up to class and take notes and you'll be fine. Also, use his study guides for his test. I honestly hated his class though

Comment:

He basically just talks for an hour and a half. No one can understand what hes saying. There are literally like 2 assignments (about 2 pages long). It is like watching paint dry. Easy credits, No doubt. But you will learn nothing and be bored. DONT BUY THE BOOK! you will not have to use it.

Comment:

Very kind and knowledgable professor, but his class is a little different to say the least. You are graded on very few assignments, didn't use a book, and was basically only lectures. He tends to get off topic very easily, and the material should be studied because his lectures aren't clear or on topic.

Comment:

The class is extremely boring. Dont expect to learn anything in his class. It is hard to understand what he is saying since his voice is not loud and clear. He tends to talk on and on in a very low voice to himself. If you can take another professor then do it.

Comment:

I would not recommend you to take this class for anyone because it is the most boring class ever. He talks and talks and he wont stop. He talks about one thing and goes off topic and at the end you will end up confused in his lectures. His tests does not make sense at all. Which I ended up not doing well on them. Hear the reviews and do not takehim

Comment:

If you want to learn, do not take this class. It is the most boring class. He lectures about random things. One group paper, no prompt, one extra credit opportunity. You need to put in so much work to do well. No office hours, no canvas page, you have no idea what your grade is. Just save yourself and take someone else

Lectures make no sense. He doesn't really go by the book. Group essays are assigned, and you keep the group for all assignments. Be prepared if you get stuck with people who don't contribute. Avoid if you can.

Comment:

Trust these reviews - spare yourself. Nice person but he is very biased and his lectures are messy. He only lectures about anti-Trump, I think students deserve an objective professor. You are graded on 3 things and his notes/lectures dont match up and are not like the test.

Comment:

Dr. Nyong is a professor who is very knowledgeable about subject matter. However, we never used the books. He talks from beginning to end. Spare yourself. Go with another professor or choose another PoliSci course. There is a group project and youll have to buy a book so you can all crank out a paper. I didnt see the point - it wasnt on syllabus

Comment:

His lectures don't make any sense - they lack organization, even though the class is all lecture. If he cancels class you won't be notified 'cause he doesn't use Canvas. Don't take him if you can avoid him. Unfortunately he's the only professor to teach Pol07. Easy A though as he reviews for the midterm and final - but the class itself is terrible.

Comment:

Extremely difficult to understand. Don't really learn anything in the class, he just rambles on about random things that pop into his mind. Doesn't teach political science materials but rather writes notes on the board and rambles. Just find another political science professor, save yourself.

His lectures are unclear. you can't read his writing that well. His writing he writes is in cursive. He can be boring. when he talks he has this kind of accent. It's hard to understand what he trying to say. You got be awake in class if you don't the professor will wake you up. You just got to listen to his lecture and take notes.

Comment:

Painfully boring lectures. He knows a lot about POLS but you won't learn anything from him because his lectures are very unclear. You need to read the book to pass the class. No homework at all. Only one easy group project. He gives multiple extra credit assignments. Very easy A class. Would take him again ONLY because it's an easy A class.
