If you listen and come every day its the easiest class you'll take. Also if you're having any trouble in the class talk to Professor Iachetta! He will take the time to help you out during and even after class. He's the best Professor I've had in History.

Easiest class I've ever taken. This proffesor is not sleeping on anybody. This class will change the way you see our government. Be prepared to turn in hw every day but its easy as sh*t. You literally read a passage and answer a question. Highly recommend Dr. Iachetta, he's a really chill guy too. You will definitely come out W.O.K.E.

Dr. Iachetta is an amazing professor that will change the way you view government regardless of your political views. There are homework assignments due at the beginning of each class, and only two papers that are worth a large percentage of your grade. As long as you pay attention in class, it's an easy A!

He is an awful professor I ever had and if you want to fail this course have him! I did my best and he gives 2 writing assignments but he needs it his own way and expects us to write his opinions. He gave us a very hard time and I followed all his instruction to write assignments but he gave me a very low mark for no reason. Please do not take thi

Comment:

If you want world class instruction from a world class professor, then take Dr. Iachetta. His class is tough, but that's whats expected of a college level course. You will come out knowing how our system of government works and how the government has systematically increased its powers beyond those enumerated in Article 1.8 of the Constitution.

Comment:

Prof. Iachetta is a great professor and an inspirational speaker. His viewpoints make total sense; particularly, his analysis on government interpretation. You will need to participate and do homework, but as a college course you should expect this to be the case. Leave your political viewpoints out the door and get ready to learn true government.

Be prepared for an onslaught of poor grading ratios and unreasonable rubrics for your final and your mid-term. I did every homework assignment and had amazing quiz grades. That still wasn't enough for this guy. If you don't write what he wants verbatim, he will fail you. He's working at East field next semester do not take his class.

BEWARE! Do not take this online class for your abilities will be limited to what the proffesor's point of view. If you don't write exactly what he wants to hear you will fail, so get ready to leave your political view out of the picture. He is very knowledgeable however wants students to feel the same way as he does about the material. Worst class!

Heard good things about his class. But not the online portion. If you take his class, DO NOT TAKE IT ONLINE!!!! His online quizzes are extremely difficult. He is however, extremely passionate about the subject.

Great professor! Get ready to be called on and discuss answers from homework. If you don't like talking in class don't take this class. Easy A if you do hw and spend some time studying for quizzes. Midterm and finals are easy just follow format. You will learn a lot in this class and think about the government differently. Recommend 100%.

Comment:

& to elaborate more on the participation grade.. it is started with the average grade of the quizzes and then he subtracts and adds from there. In other words nobody! Starts with an 100... and in my case I got subtraction from tardies & ground rules (being on my cell phone) it's honestly sad! Because his material is great! But I cannot recommend

Stop your search! You aren't going to find a better professor for government! Prof. Iachetta really does explain everything, as long as you are paying attention. His videos had me laughing, yet they were so serious at the same time. I will always remember this man ... very inspirational!

Comment:

He has been my favorite prof so far. He managed to get us to think outside the box and challenged our views during lectures/videos. But he just tested our basic concepts on quizzes and the midterm and final writing assignments so it was fair for those who couldn't care less about gov. Just watch videos and you'll do perfectly fine. Replies fast.

he makes you buy his stupid book but all it is is a book of quotes he makes you interpret. literally the whole class is just reading quotes. his quizzes are pretty hard and he tries to press his political views on you. not the worst prof I've ever had but certainly not the best. only take his class if you have to.

You have to take a lot of notes or you will not do good on the quizzes. Make sure to participate and watch the videos or you will not pass your quizzes. The midterm and final are papers and are pretty easy, he also gives you another chance to get a higher grade on your midterm paper. He gives very good feedback that will help you on future papers.
