Quirk is awesome. Favorite teacher at Loyola by far. He is funny, keeps class interesting, relates stuff to current events. Makes you work hard for an A, but if you participate and do a decent job on the papers he'll reward you. Amazing guy.

Comment:

One of the most underrated profs at Loyola. He's really funny, and an all around great guy. He grades kind of hard, but he is so interesting and the class is so entertaining that you really don't mind. He has a loyal group of kids who are always in his class.

Comment:

Hard class, but very interesting and current. All of the books for the course were written in the last 3 years pretty much. Hard tests, but if you work hard and are organized you'll do fine. Lots of enthusiasm for subject, and wants you to be as excited.

The hardest class I have ever taken at loyola. His exams are difficult, but he is really nice, and really funny, if you meet with him, and let him know you he will be more willing to help you.

Arbitrary current events, can be very sarcastic (yet not funny) at times. Puts political science dept to shame. He graduated from loyola? Guess i'm screwed :(

Mr. Quirk knows so much about world politics. He's funny, smart, organized, and very attractive. I learned a lot in both classes I've had with him. He expects you to do work, but is a very fair grader. Make sure you learn current events though.

Easily the best prof I've ever had. Great and knowledgeable guy who is very concerned with providing an interesting and lively course. Is a fair grader and assigns projects with practical worth. This is who the rest of the dept. should emulate.

Condescending, and a waste of time to boot.
