It's been a couple of years since I took Mr. losoya, but I recommend him to everyone I know. He expects adult behavior (this is college). Helps when you have questions. Takes notes, you'll do fine on the tests. Pretty funny guy!

Comment:

This class was not helpfull at all he get out of the topic always and waht is on the test is not what he gives you in the notes. Ihave to drop it because I always study my notes and never pass, the only time that I pass it was because I look all the term on the internet. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Comment:

Do not buy book. Losoya is a good professor who likes to make class fun. Wants everyone to act like an adult. If you take notes, review the study guides and do your talk about a Texas issue then you should make an A or B. His tests sometimes have questions you haven't seen but that's rare.

absolutely loved his class. Govt is no not my cup of tea, but I actually learned and had fun in his class. He doesn't put up with stupidity and expects everyone to act like an adult. Easy exams if you were in class and studied.

Recommend!!5 Exams/drops the lowest exam. Your average is what you make on the exams. Every student must present a 3-5 minute presentation in front of the class about an issue involving the state of TX. (You just have to speak/no PowerPoint.) You are given 0-8 points based on your presentation and these are bonus points added to your final grade.

Comment:

Great instructor who tries to motivate students to continue their education. Very helpful and willing to answer any questions. He is pretty funny and entertaining when he teaches. Take notes and show up to class and you should do fine. Book isn't necessary, but I would recommend it if you want to get A's on your exams. No re-takes on exams.

Mr.Losoya is an awesome instructor. He serves you the meat and potatoes of the subject. I wish all my instructors were like him. Very helpful,he breaks the material down out of the text in a way so that interpretation is super easy. Humorous gentlman who knows what he's talking about. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MAN!

Comment:

Teacher himself is a cool funny guy, keeps you interested in what he's teaching. Book is not required, BUT i recommend you DO GET IT!! (older edition is good)because although he does teach good in class,most of the stuff on the test isn't what he teaches. If you read you'll do good. There's only like 4 or 5 tests, that all, no assignments or hmwk.

I took him for Summer and he didn't require book. Summer is very fast. He gives you study guide, but still there are stuff on test that he didn't cover in class. He is funny and loves to talk. In summer he lets you leave hour early. He cancelled class a lot. Just keep up and don't miss.

Interesting class always made the class laugh and smile. Though his study guides did not include what was on the test. You will have to read. But he works with you, the tests were mostly common sense.
