He does not use the book, its a waste of money. If you need clarifaction on a topic, try the internet. the book was useless and the college did not buy it back.

Long live the POL legand!! Mr. T was an awesome teacher. However, he has moved out of state and is no longer at Delta. Glad I had him while he was still here!

Comment:

Funny teacher, good class but horrible notes. The notes are scribbled allllllll over the board and he switches from one subject to the next and you end up having no clue what is going on. I still liked the class becasue I recieved an A in it but, I still found it difficult.

Comment:

U either love this guy or hate him. He doesn't give hmwk-only 3 exams in my class. If u copy the notes thoroughly and put them on the notecard for the exam, u will have no problem getting an A. He is very eccentric. He will keep you awake. U can tell he's something by the # of ratings here.

Comment:

He is a great teacher! I don't know why I put off taking this class. He can be a bit over-enthusiatic about certain ideas, but that's what makes the class so interesting. He tells the best stories! I think he is leaving after this year, so if you haven't taken 1 of his courses, you are out of luck!

Great instructor, be there on time though, or you will become his victim. Very thorough with lectures, you should have to ask much.

Interesting. Opinionated. Hates To Be Challenged. Holds Grudges. Confusing. Cultured. Semi-Fascistic Political Philosophy. Hates Late Papers. Brilliant.

Smart teacher, but notes given are very hard to follow. I also noticed students that didn't understand the material some how got better grades than me on assignments and tests.

Comment:

This professor is a one of a kind. His way of teaching is unique and interesting. He is full of fasinating stories which makes the subject more interesting. He is a tough teacher but a very fair one, if you fail his class you have no one to blame but yourself. You'll regret not taking his class.

He is a bit nutty but I think that is why everyone loves him. He keeps the class intrested and is very helpful and he is definetly a smart smart man. This is my second time taking Poli Sci and I am glad I took him as a teacher this time. You won't regret it.

The guy is a bank of intersting stories. I dont think I have ever had a class like this where I have actually looked forward to. But I do agree, he will go postal if your late or are not paying attention. I dont blame him though!

Loved this professor. If you are in class on time, pay attention, and take notes you are set. Loved his stories and his examples. If you take a political science class with him you will not be sorry.

Comment:

He is a great teacher, he knows his stuff, and always gives great examples. If you have a chance I would recommend taking his class. The only problem with his class is, there is alot of work & writing papers involved.
