Comment:
UGH... This guy must be a an egomaniac. Lectures for 2 and a half hours straight, never stopping to encourage student participation. His exams are short answer and essay questions, and expects you to parrot back everything he says during class. There's no textbook to study from. Has no problem failing the entire class on an exam.

Almost the whole class is falling, but a few. Changed syllabus in the middle of semester. Unclear with powerpoints, doesn't get his point across during class. Grades test weird too. Don't take the class with him. You'll end up not understanding world politics and trading relationships between countries. Which is the whole purpose of the class!

I had this teacher when i went to SUNY Cobleskill, he was an amazing guy. All of his lectures are on blackboard, in class write what he says,you can print his lectures and use then on the test! All of his test were open book essay's NOT BAD !! He is a GREAT teacher, I am taking a class at Oneonta that isnt required for me becuase he is the teacher!

Awesome guy, very blunt with his opinions about the nation. Hard classes, but hes pretty funny so its worth it. He needs to leave Cobleskill and teach full time here
