Comment:
This man is a gem. His lectures are super interesting, and he always adds personal stories which are also great for helping remember the information. He gives a lot of quizzes, but tells you the class before, just make sure you read and they are a piece of cake. Midterm/final was blue-book, but if you argue your point he will give you credit.

A ton of reading. If reading isn't your thing, don't take him.

Best prof on campus. Caring, helpful. Don't use your phone and engage in class and you'll be fine. Read too, it's a good bit but it helps you know what's happening in the lecture. If you're having a hard time he's understanding and will help you! Uses personal stories to help connect the topics together, a lot of them are quite interesting to hear!

Easy going, doesn't post grades on canvas but more than happy to tell you how you're doing. Quizzes are 6 question and yes they're heavy readings that go with it but in the long run it helps you understand the content. Lots of personal stories but it helps comprehend the topics when they get messy to understand. Best prof I've ever had!

Polk is a very rude guy who gets angry easily especially at his office hours and emails. He does not give fair grades to hard working students. He wants you to believe in his religion. Never taking him again.

Best professor Ive ever had. Very helpful and easy to talk to. Have to do some reading but willing to dumb it down so you understand. If you want to know your grade, hes willing to tell you and help you. His personal stories make it easier to understand what we are discussing in class. For being a slacker, hes an easy A if you read.

Comment:
LONG AND BORING. Lectures would go on tangents all the time. Gave quizzes that were only 6 questions long and you had to read over 20 pages of a chapter to find the answer. Old Man that only talked about his life experience and forgot about what he was talking about in class.

Professor Polk is such a great professor and he is so easy going. You do have to do some reading, but the quizzes are easy. He is also a pretty easy grader, and overall a funny teacher. I would highly recommend him.

Amazing Prof! Really hilarious and keeps the class entertaining through personal stories. Lots of reading material provided by prof and expect quiz with extra credit for every reading material. There is a personal project of 1500/- words on personal experience and two exams (midsem and final).

This class is an easy A. All you have to do is read what he tells you to read and you get an A on any pop quizzes most of the time he tells you the class before a pop quiz that there will be one. The midterm and final were easy as could be. Not a hard class all you need to do is show up and do the readings and you will get an A with ease.

Best professor Ive ever had, little to no effort you need to put in this class. Small things you have to read from a book, 12 quizzes in the semester but he counts the best 6! He allows like 6 absences (but if you participate hes cool if you miss here and there). Lectures are very engaging and actually makes me learn! Awesome guy

You can't track or predict your grade; grades are almost randomly distributed. Avoid him if you are an A student cuz he might hurt your GPA,.
