Comment:

This class was kind of a joke. All curriculum basically went out the window because I took it during the election, which became our new course of study. Expect hour long lectures, but the class wasn't terribly difficult. Kind of a strange professor but definitely not bad.

Such a great guy. Although I hated giving a presentation due to extreme social anxiety, he made me feel relaxed and comfortable. Dr. Meagher is an incredible teacher.

He was sick the first few weeks of school so he made our first test open book and open note. Then he made the second test open book and open note and all of our quizzes have been open book and open note. Overall, if you listen to the lectures you'll pass. Also bring your book to class because he wont warn you in advance about open note quizzes.

He is a good teacher. He was simply sick in the fall, and we all get sick. He's helpful and concerned about us. Very nice person.

He missed so much class we pretty much had to teach ourselves everything. Doesn't teach well when he does attend class.

He definately has his favorites, and his grading is not fair. Gives some students half credit and others none at all.

Meagher is awesome! But his evil twin, well, we'll not talk about him. He is good at engaging the class and making the lectures interesting, but the textbook is more boring than hearing about your Aunt Claire's hangnail.

Class was very easy (loads of extra credit and easy tests). Lectures were enjoyable; we often debated. He brings a different opinion to class each day.

Comment:

When a teacher comes to class each day with a different political mindset, you can't help but pay attention. Regular, entertaining class discussions are held, but they detract from class time that could go towards the lesson. Can't say that's a big complaint though, since it's all really easy.

Comment:

Great guy, but his tests aren't that great because he focuses in on the smallest details of things he talks about. But he is really funny. Since he lives in St. Louis a lot of classes get cancelled. I'd recomend him to a friend.

I learned a lot from this course and professor without even knowing it. He'll weave in material into class discussions and occasionally lecture from the book (rare). I enjoyed the course.
