Comment:

He knows his stuff....you could ask him about absolutely anything dealing with politics in the 20th and 21st century and he's got facts up his sleeve just waiting. Doesn't BS...tells it like it is. Interesting class taught from an interesting perspective. He has so much experience in political campaigns that he knows all of his material firsthand

Comment:

If he was as good a professor and as cool a man as he thinks he is, my rating would be different. He is incredibly full of himself and even rude, never go to his office hours, unless you want to be insulted without cause. It is professors like him that give the Political Science Department thier out of touch, aloof, self-important reputation.

Comment:

He's just showing up (often late), getting paid, then leaving. And this shows. His lectures have content from the 1970s for the most part, while he puts on an air of erudite superiority, which is affected. He doesn't care about students, but just getting paid, and he doesn't care who knows this.

Comment:

Worth taking one of his classes for entertainment value alone. Very fun to listen to if mildly offensive at times. Won't necessarily learn that much in the course, but it's easy and can help give you some perspective on the political world.

Horrible prof, **** and obnoxious. It's not a real class, no reading is neccessary or encouraged. You'll feel dumber having left the class.

Great Prof, seemingly unbiased but with more liberal views. Class is never boring.

He's got a great sense of humor and his lectures are always interesting. My only problem is that the final counts for 50% of the grade.
