Comment:
Prof. Sunvold really inspired me. Although it was an only class he really managed to reach me, and I hope other students. I was fearful I wouldn't enjoy the class, because it was U.S. Gov. However, I truly enjoyed the way it was designed. He gives great feedback, and is very accessible and considerate. *It is important to keep up with your work!!!*

He was very disorganized in the start of the class. Plus you would only get 15 minutes for the quizzes which unless you new the textbook word for word then the quizzes would be kind of hard. He assigns a lot written assignments and takes a long time to grade them. I would never ever take him again.

This class was pretty difficult, but it was worth it! I learn so much interesting fact in that class! There are a lot of lecture but there are interesting! Also, the quiz are pretty difficult but Professor Sunvold gives us a lot of extra credit so I finish with an A easily! If you don't understand something, he will be always there to help you!

Great professor. The papers are not too long for a GR class. there are quite a few papers but very doable. there are online quizes due every week and he does adjust the class to your liking when it comes to classwork. He gets sidetracked on lectures due to it being an election year which means no quiz or work that day. Def would take again.

The class is pretty easy. All you have to do is read from the textbook and study a little. He puts up these super helpful study modules, like flashcards and videos. Really nice guy too! He doesn't let you make up tests, but he does put in a lot of extra credit so it's easy to get an "A". He's really fun,and class is interesting. Take him!!

For the most part he's a good teacher. The course is an easy class. If you're looking to really learn a lot about government you're not in the right class, but if you're looking to get the credit or an easy A then take it! He's a really cool, laid back, easy professor. You are in control of your grade pretty much.

Terrible class. He was completely unorganized and barely taught us the information. Instead of learning the material that we would be tested on, He showed us about 3 pointless movies. We are also expected to complete an insane amount of homework, you are basically teaching yourself in his class.

DON'T take a class with this professor, that is, if you would like a decent grade. I'm normally an "A" student and barely pass his INSANE quizzes, resulting in me almost having a C in his course I'm taking online! Government is horrible with this guy--like, he can't even use correct english on his website & doesn't grade anything for weeks. :P bad.

I took him online and I'm normally an A student, ended up with a B. Worked my butt off, but he's just a hard teacher to work with. The videos were very dry, and his tests are tough! If possible take another teacher!

I'm only a few weeks into his online Government class and holy mackeral! He assigns soooo much reading and writing material it's ridiculous. I, like most students, am taking this course as it's required for my Associates Degree. I would NOT recommend this professor. His material is lengthy and very dry and boring.

Do not take this guy!! The quizzes are only 5 questions at 3 points a piece and they are all on videos. If you miss one, you've got a B. He also only accepts .rtf files and does not allow resubmissions. He was not forgiving or helpful.

Comment:
Prof. Sunvold was the worst educator that I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. Do not take this class. I have 187 credit hrs. and he was the worst instructor ever. You cannot learn in an environment like his. He sets you up for failure. The work load is immense and does not teach you what you need to know. He is the WORST instructor ever.

I took thisclass online. Do Not Do The Same!! I don't want to be just another complainer, but I have a reason. If it were not for his 5 question, ambigous tests, I would have had an "A". I am sure that he is a great guy in person, and i hate to say anything bad about someone I've never really met (He has no office or phone #), don't take this class

He is the waste professor in my life. I hope, I will not have any professor like him in future. If you don't care about your GPA, then take this class. He never likes to give an "A" for this class. He never helpfull to his students.
