He writes notes on the board that aren't very detail but they work. Do the study guides, they are basically the the test. He gives lots of examples using current events.

Comment:

Class was intersting if you like government. He really knows his material and was very organized. Go to class and take good notes. Do the study guides because that is what the tests are. He doesn't have the best people skills. Very stereotypical of college students. Not easy to get a hold of. Class material was interesting, but he was just okay.

This Professor is awesome! Although you might have to go to class and listen to him, it is a 50 minute class and he makes it very interesting for that whole time. If you take notes on what he says and rewrite them before the exams you will do great. He is very easy going and funny.

Makes a very boring class interesting by using examples from current news and his own anecdotes, which all are funny or interesting. Any prof who could make such a boring topic fun is a goof prof.
