Comment:
She's a good professor, yes her lectures can be a little boring but she made me interested in government, in which i never cared about before. Do the readings in the book and you'll do fine on the tests. She gives a lot of extra credit options and she's a very caring and genuinely nice person. She's very understandable and will work with you.

Not a good professor in my opinion. All she does it talk and her power points are horrible. Try to take the class with another professor if you can.

Comment:
Not my favorite class. Overall Sykora is a really nice person (thought she is VERY liberal) but her lectures are long winded and sometimes have no real point. She only gives three exams and some of the stuff on them isn't even discussed in class. She just expects you to automatically know it

Comment:
I took American National Gov and it was my easiest class. Show up, pay attention and take notes and you'll get an A. Class is optional as long as you get notes. Makes government relevant to your life which was helpful and make class interesting. Tests are pretty hard so study and read the textbook. Not many assignments and no papers. Take her

Comment:
If you are going to take Sykora, do yourself a favor and bring a pillow. Lectures are incredibly boring. On top of that she is the most liberal person I have ever come in contact with. You only have 3 tests leaving little room for error. When it comes time for the test, who knows what its even on. Overall a terrible class.

Comment:
Dr. Sykora is a nice woman and a decent professor. Her lectures are extremely long winded, but they can sometimes be interesting. She makes her political stance very clear and often trash talks the opposite party, which can be angering, but it's not a terrible class. There's minimal homework, so just pay close attention in class.

Dr. Sykora sometimes gets off track but her tests are fairly easy. When I didn't show up for an exam, she emailed me and asked me when I wanted to make it up. She is a really nice person. You could pretty much pass by going to class and listening to her speak.

Dr. Sykora is a really nice person. Whenever you need help or dont understand something she is always willing to help you if you go talk to her. It doesnt seem like yo uare learning alot until later on and you realize that you actually grasped alot from the class. As long as you go to class, read the books, take your notes, and are open minded.

Horrible class. She is extremely liberal and it shows. You do a ton of writing and reading for little to no reason. I had no idea what she ever wanted from us in this class. Avoid.

For American Government, she didn't explain things much. To learn, you need to read your book. Her class is boring and you may want to fall asleep. But she is funny and open minded.

Not the greatest teacher. Classes are hell. She rambles about her opinions more than she teaches and does the absolute bare minimum when it comes to notes. I've yet to learn a thing that wasn't her opinion. She doesn't even try. Avoid this teacher.

I love Sharon Sykora! She's awesome. Funny, intelligent, knows what she's talking about, and clearly cares about the information covered in class. Basically, the only people who don't like her are those who don't pay attention to the world around them. I'm sad she's on sabbatical, I'll miss her!

She is a very nice person but there really was no factual information covered in class. She is great to converse with but the lessons are clustered and sometimes she is just hard to follow. The test questions are often really awkward as well.

She is a nice person but she did not get through to me at all. I dont feel like I learned much. She didnt give any assignments, we only had two test and a final. Book was useless. she's very liberal. I felt like her tests were all her opinion. she wasn't terrible but I wouldn't take her again.

Amazing lady. Very liberal, helpful, sweet, funny. Gives a lot of extra credit. Class is extremely easy, but if you're not there for the notes the book won't help you out much on the exam. An enjoyable class and easy to pass.

I took Sykora's American Government class, and enjoyed it. There's never any homework... no assignments, etc. She obviously recommends reading the book, but I never even opened the book and managed an A or B on all tests. Take her if possible!

I do think I would take Sykora again. A bit scatterbrained and disorganized but not too unpleasant. Pay attention and read. A little effort and you'll be fine. Do the extra credit, tho, and you wont regret it

TAKE HER! Sure she is really liberal, but I learned so much from this class. She tells funny stories, has class discussions and puts a serious curve on the tests. Show up and go over the class notes the night before the test and You'll have no problems.
