Comment:
Tough grader on papers but he keeps classes interesting. He really lets the students give their opinions in class making it more like a discussion. He will lecture sometimes and when he does, be ready to take notes. I would actually look forward to going to his class because he really seemed to enjoy what he was teaching (Issues in US Politics).

Comment:
I had Prof. Fox for Issues in US Politics with approx 74 other students. Class would consist of taking notes and also discussion, which always made things interesting. I thought he graded writing on the hard side, but was always willing to read drafts and offer suggestions. Making you think critically is definitely one of his priorities.

He's an awesome teacher. Very smart guy. I love going to his class. His grading is a little tough and his mid-terms are really hard but he does a good job of preparing you.

Great teacher! Very knowledgeable and makes class incredibly interesting. Very helpful outside of class also -- good teacher to sit in his office with and discuss politics.

Comment:
The best dressed/hottest prof. I've experienced at Union ;) It seems like everyone who's reviewed him on this so far went in there expecting to breeze through the class. WRONG. It's PS- NOT Bio! Union has to keep its reputation of molding good public citizens and will reward those who succeed well

Sounds like you all just want an easy "A" and are angry that Prof. Fox expects you to work hard! Too bad. He is very demanding but you would learn so much if you put the time into the class. GREAT PROFESSOR!!!!

Nice to your face but untrustworthy. Likes to create drama and problems just for kicks. Easy to talk to, and if you take his class you learn a lot. Extremely fun and good to drink with.

A nice guy to your face, he seriously devalues your grade if you present ideas he doesnt personally agree with. A poor lecturer, his grading is even worse, offering no insight on returned papers and his office hours accomplish nothing except lip service

Seems like a nice guy, but poor lecturer. Don't think has any real world experience of how politics works - just from books.

good professor. can be very strict though--refused to give me any credit for writing my papers sober (i lied, but what he doesn't know won't hurt him). he gave me a 9.5 instead of a 10 on a paper, and i am still peeved about that.

Best professor I've had yet... Too bad he's not teaching Congressional Politics anymore. He's a challenging professor, but you'll learn A LOT.
