This class is AMAZING. He honestly is there for you. Helps you any way he can so you can understand the material and how to improve your test scores. He gives opportunities for extra credit. This class is a must take ! If you have the opportunity to take this class than do so! He lets you know what and how you will be graded for from the first day.

Comment:

Great Professor! Tests are easy as long as you read. Answers are straight from book or his notes. He posts his notes. Discussions are worth 20% of your grade but there is no right or wrong answers as long as you make sense you'll get full credit. Hes very clear on what he expects, and helpful if you need it. Would take him again.

Really demanding. Test are not well organized. His lectures are unclear and goes off talking about something else. DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS, unless you want to have a stressful semester.

Took his online class. Fairly easy. There is one chapter quiz and one discussion each week. Read the chapters and the class notes and you can easily get an A. He even offers extra credit. I recommend this class to be taken online, especially for those students who are not interested in history, government, or politics.

I took Newcomers class years ago. He used the class as a means to preach his own liberal views. What a disappointment to Rio Hondo, and the City of Whittier.

Comment:

Took his PolySci class online. His tests were very clear and straightforward. As long as you read the required chapters for each week and the supplementary notes he posts the class isn't hard at all. Many people waited to do their work on the last day and probably failed because of it. As long as you manage your time well he is a great professor.

He is the worst professor I ever had. He kicked me out of class one time for reading his textbook during class time. Everyone thought that was uncall for.

Comment:

Taking his online class is frustrating. There's not too much work and it seems easy, but the way he grades papers is unpredictable, as if totally on a whim depending on his mood. There's no freedom of speech and he will restrict the free flow of ideas. Save your self the headache & select another professor to learn with.

He is a great teacher. Well informed and if you have any questions email him. He will get so fast to you that is scarry. Lecture is a bit boring. As long as you learn the concepts in the back of the book and give an overread to the book you will be fine. Very helpful. 50's but still a hottie

great teacher, come to each class and take notes and you'll get an A, ofcourse do the required reading. He's also very quick to get back to you if you contact him via email. He was a class web page where he posts grades and has news which is pretty cool

Test questions do not match covered text, and are often obscure. Nine of 100 final questions were not covered in current readings. Text is difficult to read and boring. Thought I would love this class, but hated it. So glad to be done.

Great teacher and explain everything very well. Class is boring a lot of reading . Hard textbook reading. No study guide makes it hard to study. Easy grade if you come to class everyday and do research paper. KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT INTERNATIONAL POLITICS.
