Comment:

I am an B/B+ student and I found this guy to be a complete and utter nightmare. I can only do so much as warn you not to take him, he is clearly senile and dry. Worst teacher I've ever been so unfortunate to meet.

Horrible, horrible teacher. Rambles on about Marbury vs. Madison for weeks on end. Nothing that he says is on the tests really is. I learned nothing in this class except things about the Marbury v. Madison case. DO NOT TAKE!

Comment:

I hated taking this guy, but had no choice. Yes he is easy, but I wasnt looking for easy. I learned more about government and law watching a rock. The only case he knows anything about is Marbury v. Madison. I showed up to class, but he sill hated me b/c I would continuously point out that he never answered anyones questions, expected assignments that were never given and that we talked about the same thing everyday for the 3 semesters I had to take with him. Needless to say, I was not one of his favorites!

Comment:

SHOW UP TO CLASS. Outside of that, you don't have to do much. People complain about his rambling, but if it's anywhere near the end of class just ask "so what do we need for tomorrow" and that tends to get him to end class.

Oh come on people, it this is BECKENSTEIN!! He is the bomb! You've got to respect this man. He is a genius and if you just hear him out you will get an A ... no question. Instead of sleeping, try to listen and maybe, just maybe, you will learn something from gem of QU!

Comment:

He does ramble, but it is an easy high B to an A. All you have to do is the work he assigns which is never a lot. He never gives tests and hardly ever a paper. I've taken him 4 times already and never had a problem. His class helps my GPA.
