Amazing Professor - super engaging and funny, knows a ton about the subject. He's wicked flexible, and will often grant extensions for the entire class unasked.

Comment:
This guy has really poor peripheral vision. Hence he calls on the same 6 people to comment repeatedly throughout each class. If you don't sit among them, be prepared to have your hand up for 10 minutes at a stretch or to be completely ignored until your question is no longer relevant to the direction of discussion. That one just pissed me off.

Comment:
Laurence was by far the best professor I've had at Bowdoin. His classes are engaging and he encourages discussion while incorporating humor. He helps you learn how to write a govt paper, and is a fair grader as long as you put work into the class. He's been sick but hopefully he'll be better soon!

One of the funniest professors and best lecturers I have ever had. He is definitely difficult, but he's easily approachable and willing to work with you, so don't be discouraged from taking his classes.

What the heck are you talking about? He definitely has concern for his students. Also, even though he's a really hard grader, he gives you the chance to discuss weak points and pass in re-writes. *in-class discussions are very interesting and open*
