Comment:

Best teacher I have ever had. Hands down. Hes funny, and and you actually USE what he teaches you. He might come off as a bit of a hard-ass, but he is extremely kind once you get to know him. Go talk to him if you think the test was unfair, he will always bump your grade :) I would take every class he taught if I could.

Comment:

Best professor I've ever had. He talks a little fast but it trains your brain to understand more complex ideas in the real world. &He is sympathetic if you have questions. I truly believe that anyone who gave this professor a bad score just aren't ready to be in college. Go back to high school if you cant handle him because he's the best you'll get

Comment:

Professor knows his material by heart and stays up to date on all the GOV materials. However he speaks real fast in class and moves through things at 100 mph or so it seems. Sit up front and ask questions no matter how little or lot you are confused. Study and read the chapters and then use notes to revise everything. Tests are multiple choice.

Comment:

One the best professors I have ever had in college. He lectures clearly and allows questions to be asked. Classes are very engaging and he drops the lowest test score. He also offers extra credit and skips class a lot so you have less government content to study. I want to take another class from him because I got a 4.0!!! I loved taking government

Comment:

I found this professor difficult for me. It may have been because I was in running start and I have never taken American government before. He seemed to talk very quickly to me. Although I did love how educated he was in American government and you could see how much passion he had for it.

It is impossible to learn anything because half the time he canceled class and still would put the material he didn't teach on tests. When he did show up to class he would just read off of Power Points.

Super cool professor. Knows his material very well and will repeat, clarify or add more detail if asked. Tests are all multiple choice, drops lowest test score, and notes provided online. Easy homework. Sit in the front row and he will like you.

Comment:

Fantastic professor. I took GOVT 100 from him, and prior to the class, I didn't know a thing about government. He is clear and concise in his lectures. Assignments are very short and easy and are online. If you show up to class most days, take notes off of his powerpoints, and read the chapters, you actually have to try not to get a 3.5 or higher.

Comment:

this is a really nice professor. I like how he always canceled class because of his meetings and such. In order to get a B or greater on the test, you must take good notes. Make sure to write down the things that he says. Attend class all the time and he will like you. Answer his questions. He is very clear and knows his stuff.

Comment:

Easy class if you attend and take good notes. I suggest printing off power points so that way note taking is not hard. You must read the chapters to do well on the tests but as long as you study you will do fine. He is super attractive and professional! His casual Friday outfits are the best.

Very passionate (he wrote the text) and knowledgeable! Read the chapters for each test and study and you will be fine. Don't be late (he hates it and will remember you) and participate and it's an you will get 3.5 or better! He's great looking, too ;)

I really liked this teacher. Yes he is fast paced, but you can find the Power Points online if you are a slow note taker. The tests were not difficult for me because I took good notes, studied well and paid attention to his class lectures. He was never rude to me when I asked for individual help.

Comment:

Nice guy, really knows what he is talking about. Allows the students to keep their own political opinions and makes sure everybody feels comfortable with those opinions. As for the bads, he is very quick paced, and even though the tests are multiple choice, they are really difficult. I suggest lots and lots of study time. Good guy all around.

Great professor. Lectures are cohesive, and he takes time to explain everything and discuss any questions. Weekly assignments super easy, but tests are hard, so go to class, pay attention, and take notes if you want to pass.

Hard to understand. Talks fast. VERY hard tests. I don't feel like I learned as much as I could have because he was going to fast and wouldn't take time to really help us.

I loved going to this class but the tests are really really hard. I took really good notes and studied like 2 weeks for each test and I still ended up with a low grade on them. Plus when I asked for help he was really short with me (kinda rude) Plus he's really strict. dont be late to class and dont leave cell phone on. worst mistake ever!

I have never had a professor who was a)slower to answer emails and b)sooo rude. Also, all assignments are submitted on blackboard and if there are any type of submission errors it doesn't matter, you get a zero no matter what.

Really knows his stuff, and has some really interesting information to share. All tests were online which is always a bonus. For the most part I liked him, he can go off on some students for talking/texting/sleeping during his lectures which is understandable, just don't piss him off.

Only gave him one star because 0 isn't possible. Very unclear about what he wants especially on tests. Get Hawley if possible.
