Comment:

Exams are difficult, only two extra credit opportunities, three exams one final. Her study guides do not reflect her exams. Boring lectures, you will fall asleep. If you want to get an A take another Poli Sci professor. All my friends got A's in their class because their exams are all multiple choice and True False questions. Liesl gives ESSAYS!!!

Comment:

Everytime I showed up to class I was so intrigued. She really is passionate about the subject and if theres ever any questions that need to be answered she answers them! Going to class is a necessity because you can always get notes from friends, but the way Professor Haas explains topics is so much more understandable! Favorite class, hands down.

Great professor! She knows her stuff, and explains political processes thoroughly and it all flows well. The class is an easy A. 3 exams, 1 final. There are 4 extra credit opportunities at about one page responses and worth 5-8 points each! Attendance is not mandatory, neither is textbook (even though it says it is).

Comment:

Doing reading before class will really help during lecture and for the tests. Her lectures are amazing, she is so knowledgable. Grades a bit hard on the essay portion of the tests so make sure you are specific with lots of details. Plays lots of videos thru the semester that are fun. Replies quickly to emails, wants to help you succeed.

Dr. Haas is an amazing professor. I took her during the winter for a unit political science course (199/399) and she really made those four days interesting! Attendance in this case was mandatory, but that's reasonable since it was just a 4 day course. She's really passionate about her lectures and really makes class interesting. VERY FUNNY

Comment:

She just lectures & shows you videos in class. Your grade is based on tests. She has 3 exams & 1 final. In the class, she only had 2 e.c. assignments, for a total of 3 points to your grade. The class has a 100 points. If you use the study guide, you'll do fine on the first 3 exams. Not the final, study on your own. She rounds a 89.5 to an A.

TAKE HER CLASSES. Take her for poli sci GE, you wont regret it. Not many assignments. About 4 exams, which she gives the best study guides for. Make a google doc of the study guide and share it with the whole class and you will for sure pass the exams and class. She lectures and writes notes on a tiny white board so do not sit in the back.

Haas was an amazing lecturer, lectures were very interesting, and she really grabbed you into the course. Make sure to attend class, everything she taught was on the exam, LITERALLY. The only thing is this class consists of just 4 exams and extra credit was offered every now and then.

Comment:

I knew very little about political science and passed with an A. Her study guides are very similar to the tests. She made this class very interesting, she showed us a lot of clips from the Daily Report. She is a great professor!! Can honestly say I learned a lot from this class. Textbook is not needed.

At first its hard to keep up but once you understand her lectures the class will be easier than you think the exams are similar to the study guide and the essay samples are very helpful they are most likely to be the same prompt on the test.

One of my all time favorite professors! She is very, very reasonable, which is why I respected her so much. She is also pretty funny and makes you understand the true concept of American Politics! You learn, laugh and would have a great time if you choose her. Wish I could take her again!

Haas is by far the most amazing teacher I've ever had at CSULB. She's hilarious and the clearest teacher I've ever had. I learned so well in her class. As long as you go, do some of the readings, talk to her when you need help, and PARTICIPATE in class I can guarantee you an A. She's very kind and approachable, if you need help just ask!

says to buy the online book, but buy the hard copy, its way cheaper. An easy class considering i never really showed up, lectures are based off the book, if you show up to class you dont have to read the book, but i never really did so i read the book and on exams i always got solid B's, but when i did show up to class, she was very entertaining.

Comment:

Haas is an amazing lecturer, never boring and she is hilarious. Definitely liberal, so heads up if you write about praising conservative politics in the essays. 4 in-class exams, each with an essay. Write down what she says in lecture because it will be word-for-word on the tests.

This is my third year at CSULB, and she is in my top five favorite professors. She's super nice, attendance not required (but you really should go), and four exams in total. If you go to her lectures, you'll hardly need to read the book. She's very thorough and is obviously very passionate about her career. She made me consider switching my major!

Hilarious and easy teacher. She cracks a lot of jokes, her lectures are very entertaining and make sense. The tests are easy, and you actually learn something. Just go to class everyday and pay attention, and you'll pass easily.
