Comment:

Dr Hewan is intelligent. I'll admit that. But he's also arrogant, smug, jaded, and reluctant to talk to a student as an actual person. He despises Americans, particularly the white variety. If you want to learn International Politics, avoid this idiot. However, if you are looking for a re-education camp, this is your guy.

Comment:

It is possible to get an A in his class. Just bring your lap top and ignore him. His lectures suck. He's not very helpful either. I read the book and did fine on the test. Attendance is mandatory. Test are always essay based and there were 4 short papers required. Easy 400 poly sci class.

Comment:

He is very rude, and just a little to smart for his own good. I feel sorry for him to be honest. He doesn't have a good outlook on anybody or anything. You get what you put in, but he definitely doesn't promote a healthy learning environment for college students, especially Freshmen. I wasn't pleased with him what so ever! Turned me off to NKU

Comment:

Meh. He's annoying, produces false statistics, and never admits he's wrong. He believes that all Americans are stupid and goes out of his way to impress this upon you. Despite this, I find his diatribes to be at least somewhat amusing, and he's been one of my least annoying professors this semester, but that isn't saying much.

Comment:

Worst class ever. Lecture is taken directly from the book, and what isn't is irrelevant or biased opinion. He inherited this class from another professor and did not modify the syllabus at all, leaving everyone confused about due dates or requirements. Grades seem to be given arbitrarily and paper requirements are scarcely given.

Comment:

Do not take him!! He's very intelligent and knowledgeable but it's not worth risking a bad grade. Very bias in opinion. He gives you his facts not actual facts. He reads off papers the entire class period. It gets horribly boring. There's three exams, two essay and the last multiple choice. about 200 questions.

Comment:

Somewhat difficult to understand. Very much liberally biased. Repeats useless information daily. Tests are graded very difficult. I had a good idea of what the question would be and studied extensively because I wanted to impress him and got a 72%. He pointed to my use of shorthand (2x) as unacceptable and handed the paper back to me.

Comment:

I was worried about taking his class from what I had read but its not so hard.My complaints: His biased opinion starts to ware on you after a while, if you ask a ques. for clarification on his notes, he just rereads them. He gives statistics of America compared to Jamaica and even if you show him the untruth on UN site he wont say hes wrong.

Comment:

At first I really hated this class and really didn't like him! But after awhile I found I really started to respect him as a professor. YOU MUST READ THE TEXTBOOK!He is very opinionated but once you get past that you see he is an amazing teacher! He doesn't make it easy he expects your very best. I've never learned so much than from this class!

THIS IS NOT AN EASY CLASS!!! Everyone should take this. He is not rude but he will make you feel uncomfortable. He will not single you out or anything like that. Hard work but well worth it. An absolutely brilliant professor

He was challenging which I appreciated. He wants you to accept his bias as fact. That's my complaint.

Comment:

Okay Dr. Hewan is not as crazy as some of these reviews make him sound! If anything he is crazy funny! But he does have his moments were he makes you feel uncomfortable, but he is only trying to prove a point! He isn't doing it because he hates America or White people! This guy has done more with one life that most do with three! So listen to him1!

Comment:

I LOVE Dr. Hewan! Yes he is very hard and challenging but if you go to college you should be open minded and ready to work hard. HE is very willing to help you if he sees you put the effort in your studies. He forces students to think critically and see the world as it really is. If you want to learn and get good use out of your money TAKE him.

Comment:

Dr. Hewan was my mentor for my Honors Paper. I learned more from his classes then any other class on campus. You will work hard but isn't that what college is about. I took 4 or more classes from him and earned all A's and we didn't see eye to eye on anything. Be educated in your conversation with him and you will be fine.

Comment:

No, he is not easy (should a college course be easy)and he really is not difficult to understand. It is not that he does not welcome other viewpoints, but you have to be willing to respect his at the same time. This guy has been a diplomat to 3 different countries, if really take in his class, he has a lot to offer. So, try harder students!

Comment:

I to evaluate a professor as a whole, not by just one off-hand remark or comment, but by what they offer practically speaking, Dr. Hewan would sidestep any opposing questions/statements and wouldn't accept different views as valid. He would gladly berate you than see another viewpoint, ironically he preaches being openminded to other views.

By far one of the worst professors I have ever had, he is VERY closed minded and ****. Talks nonstop about how terrible our country is and how all white people are ****. google him and you will see how many times he has been in trouble for pulling the race card on students

Comment:

i love professor hewan. i've taken his class twice now. he may be one of the most difficult professors, but after finishing his class, you will have a better understanding of the world. I highly recommend his class for anyone who is willing to open up to another point of view.
