EXTREMELY BORING PROFESSOR! He just rambles, and rambles, and rambles and rambles! Never stops talking! Also goes way to indepth for an intro course. His notes are useless for his tests, take your own.

Blah! His lectures are SOOOOO boring and very confusing if you don't really know anything about govt. I came in the class not knowing anything and was the same coming out..He doesn't really help ya with what would be on the test and he tends to use very intelligent words which would be good if I was a lawyer but I'm not..not a good teacher to take!

If you want to go to Law School, take his moot court. His classes are very easy and if you are on his moot court team you will get As for the rest of your college career. Plus, he really loves his students.

Boring lectures. Everyday we went through a virtual tour of the White House on the computer. Tests are easy if you do the book review questions on the computer. He liked to wear the same multi-colored sweater all the time.

Comment:

He's one of those teachers that could be really good if he actually taught a decent subject. He really knows his stuff. Too bad it's in the most boring field possible. If you have to suffer through a poli sci class, it might as well be with him. Easy tests too.
