Comment:

Only 3 tests each are 100 true or false, but often the questions border on opinion questions. Hard to focus during his class as he lectures every day and is monotone.

Comment:

I love this man. Surprisingly funny, very insightful, injects a lot of personal experience which made for very interesting anecdotes. Kind of a tough grader, but nowhere near the worst I've had at Bucknell. One of my favorite classes to attend. won't get bored if you like pols True, his lectures are a bit monotone and hard to hear /sometimes/.

Comment:

This professor seems dull at first, but the class is really interesting if you are interested in politics, and he also has a dry sense of humor which is nice. I would also recommend sitting in the first row. You don't need to read the book much, just pay attention and take good notes, and don't miss class.

Seems to be very monotone but is actually a really funny guy. Great teacher. Just show up to class, take good notes, and review them every once in a while. Don't really need to read. Very easy and interesting class.

Comment:

Very straightforward. 2-3 tests a year of 100 true false and one paper. No homework is ever assigned and the reading is not necessary to passing but is often really interesting and useful if you enjoy the subject. Sit in the front rows because he is really quite, very boring but if you pay attention he's actually got a huge dry sens of humor.

Comment:

Provides no motivation to read any of the books but thats the only way youll pass. 3 100 true or false tests and randomly checking attendance twice is the only thing he does. Impossible to hear his lectures. Exams expanded past material only covered in class. High regret for fulfilling my requirements.

Comment:

This was an awful class. Even sitting in the front row it was hard to hear his lectures and his tests were so obscure that the best notes in the world would not prepare you for them. Not to mention his lips are always blue from smoking right before class. Bad guy, bad teacher, bad class.

Comment:

Sanjian is a nice guy, but he is exceptionally boring and his exams don't make sense. They are 100 T/F questions, but they are unclear and don't really reflect your understanding of the material. Office hours help a little bit but for the most part Sanjian makes the class a lot harder than it actually is.

Comment:

I found this teachers tests quite difficult. They are true and false and so random that if you take perfect notes and read the text you can still do terribly on a test. I would recommend finding a different teacher for the subject you are considering taking with him.

Comment:

The course consists of 3, 100 True/False question exams. That's it. So if you're bad at True/False, this course is not for you. He seems like he'd be really boring, but I found the course to be extremely interesting. He's subtly hilarious and a pretty nice guy. I'd definitely recommend this course with him.

Comment:

Everyone else was right. He is very monotone, but what he has to say is really interesting. Sit in the front to hear him especially when he turns on the AC. He has a very dry, sarcastic, and subtle sense humor-I loved it!

Comment:

He's a pretty good teacher, not the loudest teacher, so if you prefer to sit in the back you're kinda screwed. He is a fairly funny teacher, sometimes makes jokes, but never laughs at his own jokes. I liked him.

Comment:

Lectures remind me of Ben Stien in Ferris Buellers day off. MONOTONE, but very interesting. Never found myself watching the clock. You almost dont have to read if you take good notes. Tests are strange (True false mult. choice style?). Tests are harder than they seem, but managable. Highly recomend!

Comment:

As long as you go to class and take notes, this class is quite possibly the easiest, yet informative, class I've taken. No reading necessary if you go to class.
