Close-minded approach to teaching. He takes 17th century Lockean philosophy & 19th century Social Darwinism as gospel truths. He retaliates if you openly disagree with his political philosophy.

Comment:

great prof. never forced his viewpoints on the class. This was one of the classes that i actualy learned something in, so if you just want to pass, take someone else. He is conservative, but never forces or reveals his beliefs until the last day.

Comment:

Billet is a decent "undergraduate" professor. Must learn to accept views different from his own - there is a difference between challenging students to think differently and stiffling thought and dialogue.

Billet is awesome. He challenges his students and makes them think. The tests were easy. Billet is not for people who want to sleep in class or just try to get by.

Billet is awesome. If you cannot take being challenged or if you want someone who is going to preach to the choir find someone else. If you want someone who will make you think then take Billet.

Comment:

He can be a nice guy, but he loves to intimdate you, his homework assignments are very tricky and he says the phrase "you know" 20 times in one paragraph can get really annoying.. He is also rude at times and he will never agree with anyone in t

Comment:

Billet is the best and if one really reads these comments it is manifestly clear that it is the students who have the problem-come on "he is very political" It is a political science class. What do you expect you moron?

Comment:

Like the posts mention below, he does dress kinda funny, and he rambles on, and he can be pretty cruel to students at times. But I thought the take-home assignments were fairly easy - basically your opinions - no real midterm or final.

Comment:

These students have no idea of what they are writing. Billet is awesome and if one cannot stand having their views challenged then they should not be in college to begin with. The only thing rude about Billet is his students who do not come prepared.

Comment:

Very political. Tries to stuff his conservative views upon his students. He's a jerk to the class. One time he got mad and kicked out the whole class. But the class is easy as long as you read the text.

Very Unclear about what he expects and is a real jerk at times. I would choose another section of 155 that billet is not teaching if you want to enjoy the class of political science.. i hated attending this class!

I don't know which is worse, his clothing or his teaching. He rambled on and on about absolutely nothing and his exams never covered what was discussed in class let alone the reading assignments. Drop him.
