He's organized and offers lots of extra credit. Class is not mandatory but will help a lot when taking the notes for the test.

Comment:

I took the class online and I feel like this would have been a very easy class since the workload was not heavy however, he is a bit disorganized. The syllabus will say one set of due dates but blackboard will say something different. He also doesn't make tests or assignment submissions open until the day it is due.

Great professor he is lecture heavy but they do make you think. The text book is a must wont pass if you don't have it, lots of vocabulary words his test are on blackboard and range from 40 to 70 questions. Day of the test there is no class but test MUST BE TAKEN DURING CLASS HOURS! Be ready to discuss the chapters read and have group conversations

Comment:

He's really nice and respectful and he gives it to you straight about the government. He tries his best to make sure you have a fair chance at passing. If you just read the textbook you can pass, but it's easier just to go to class and listen to his lectures just stay awake or he'll tease you.

Horrible in every way. pops online assignments up midday due before midnight. class is death by gauge powerpoint in which he calls you out and sits there even when no one knows the answer. test and quizzes make no sense and even if you get a question right the test marks them wrong and he won't fix them. student beware

Excellent teacher. Those who complain are the ones who do not do the work. Do the work, study, do the extra credit, and show up to class, at the end of the semester you will be rewarded with the grade that you deserved through your work.

Comment:

Worst decision of my college career. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. Horrible grammar mistakes on tests, and will try to critique your grammar/structure. Icredibly stupid discussions and almost absolutely no help from the professor. Terrible "teacher". You'll be on your own if you take this class. Absolutely sucks as a teacher.

Comment:

I took him online and although he isn't very clear and organized on his assignments, if you have good organization you will be fine. We're halfway through the semester and I have yet to actually read a chapter of my book but still have an A. He is pretty quick with responses and always answers questions. You get out of it what you put into it.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! I came into his class with a 3.75+ GPA through a year and a half and this class is by far the MOST difficult I had to take. It does not help that he cancels classes at the last second and gives you unexpected online assignments. I study at least 6 hours weekly and barely making a B at this point. SAVE YOURSELF!

Comment:

He was a very good teacher, if you did not get an A- you didn't work hard enough. He was straight forward with what he expected and for those saying that he graded too harshly, didn't follow directions very well. The slight difficulty came from the tests, but getting an A overall with all the extra credit he handed out was easy. I recommend.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR ONLINE!!! He does not articulate his assignments clearly. When you email him for clarification, he just confuses you even more. Then he assigns a GROUP project for the online class, and if other members don't do their part YOUR grade suffers!Quizes & multiple choice were easy, essays were graded harshly.

He was not a very good teacher. Does not give clear instructions, nothing is ever good enough for him. You will not receive an A.

I would not recommend him for the online course. I would liken the experience to having an automated professor. There was very limited teacher student interaction.

Comment:

I DO NOT recommend this professor for the online class!! Power points were extremely vague and unhelpful, and there are no other study tools besides reading the textbook thoroughly which is extremely long and tedious just to read one chapter. He responds to email but with vague responses.

Comment:

The online class (government) for this professor is extremely fustrating. He seems to have a problem articulating the assigments, and when you email him the response is so vague that you might as well not waste your time. I have taken several online classes, this one is by far the worst. The most difficult part is understanding his expectations.
