Good professor, one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is well organized and the politics of mexico class was fantastic. I had that class almost 10 years ago and he still stick in my mind as being a good professor, the kind you would want to go to dinner with and have a burger.

Loved this teacher! Had him back in 2001, he's great! If you're having trouble, get off your butt and go see him in office hours- he's really nice and helpful. Class is always interesting! Get your reading done, sit in the front and get to know him. He just might write you a letter of rec! Overall, great teacher, take his classes.

AWESOME LECTURER, even better human being. Just an all-around great professor. Anyone can tell he really cares about the material, and that his students are learning it. I promise you, you will learn a lot you consider valuable.

Great professor! Makes poly sci very interesting and you really learn the concepts. He gives great reviews before tests and has a great sense of humor. Answers emails promptly and goes out of his way to steer you in the right direction. Rob, the TA, is also good and well-informed, easy to understand

Love him, great professor, so passionate about what he teaches which in turn makes the students passionate, great books are assigned in all his classes, it almsot seems as if you aren't taking a academic class and the class is more conversational but you end up learning so much.

Hiskey is so great. There is a lot of material to cover, but he tries to make it as easy and entertaining as possible. He is so nice and is genuinely interested/cares about the material and his students. A great teacher!
