Comment:

As previously stated, very dry. It can be easy to tune him out. Do the reading or you'll have issues. Likes to watch the class argue but sometimes forgets to clarify with correct info. Fairly difficult grader but these texts are useful so it's worth it to take the class, probably better if you're very interested in polisci.

Comment:

He selected GREAT readings for this class. But honestly, all he did was lecture from the readings the night before, like he didn't trust our class to have discussions and stay on track. I wanted to DEBATE!!! Interested in school reform? Get the reading list.

A really great professor. Doesn't get enough credit. Pretty laid back about stuff. And heck, now he's mayor of Gambier.

Comment:

Intelligent, but kind of bland. Doesn't do nearly enough with the class- not good at facilitating discussion. Spends class time summarizing the reading rather than teaching. Nice guy overall, just hopeless compared to the rest of the dept.
