Comment:

I loved him!! The class often had dense reading assignments but he had a way to break down the reading that made it more interesting and easier to comprehend. He often calls on people even if they dont raise their hand and cracks jokes. But he keeps class engaging, interesting and makes the students want to attend.

Comment:

Another Pol. Sci. prof told me how glad she was Nadon is gone because she thought he wasnt liberal enough. But I've never had such a radical in class, not to mention somene so smart and quick on his feet. I guess if you wear a suit and tie, you can't fit in the faculty here. Too bad. He's missed. Maybe he won't like surfing and come back. Right.

Most intellectually demanding prof I've had. I have no idea what he thinks, but he did make me think what Locke and Rousseau thought. He'll be missed.

I loved this class, Nadon is a character. He has no problem bringing up crazy examples and asking you a what seems to be ridiculous questions. He keeps you awake and makes the dense material more clear. Definetly take his class

Comment:

Nadon will make fun of you if you're wasting class time with silly social protest. But he'll also make fun of you if you're just silly or haven't thought about the readings. He's a great prof. who makes you think, and if this calls for questioning your sacred cows, whatever they may be, then so be it.

Comment:

amazing professor. couldn't think of a professor who makes you actually think about the material as much as he does. people that dont like his courses are lazy and are only thinking one way. would take every class with him if i could

Arrogant and rude, spent an entire class talking about why women are inferior to men, mocked and belittled students for participating in social protest, etc.

Comment:

entirely inadequate presentation of plato, generally one sided in presentation of concepts, AVOID IF YOU ARE A PHILOSOPHY MAJOR. aggressive in class which ostracized beginners in a beginners course. AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS. you can study for the tests with sparknotes and a little thought easily.

Comment:

Smartest prof on campus. What's nice is tht I've taken 3 classes with him and have no idea what his politics are, other than he thinks Lincoln was a god. but one of the classes was on Lincoln. He'll give you a hard time if you can't back up your positions, but isn't that his job?

He's crazy in class, but he's a great teacher. The tests aren't too difficult, but you've really got to know your stuff. Don't try to BS him, he'll know.

I love Nadon!!! I would take him for all of my political science classes if I could. VERY SMART--probably one of the smartest professors at Trinity. Can get a little unclear when explaining things in class, but is awesome if you see him in his office.

Comment:

The BRAIN! Easily one of the smartest poly sci teachers at this school. Extremely smart, especially when it comes to Xenophon and the Prince. Often goes off on tangents, rarely states his own opinion. Strictly adheres to a sophist method of teaching.
