Great professor who knows a lot and is effective at teaching. I don't think he's still at Chapman, which is a crying shame.

Can't Teach. Loves to Rant. Avoid this prof if you are NOT a political science major and actually want to learn something new in class.

Spitzer is hilarious- his lectures are light and easy to understand. pretty challenging for an intro class, but you will learn a lot about politics.

Great guy!!! so enthusiastic and willing to always help outside of class... BUT.. he's so boring and the things he covers in class are irrelevant and I wished I learned more about POLISCI versus more focus on Constitution, etc...he's lecture is extremely boring!

Boring Class, but great teacher. SS is pretty laid back about stuff. His assignments are difficult but few and far between. Hes a kind man and is very accomodating to his students.

Comment:

Nice guy, but SO SO SO boring. I've taken polisci classes from him two semesters in a row and I can't take it again! He jumps all around in his lectures, makes no sense, and then expects you to know ALL the material in detail for midterms and finals. Whoa. No.

Comment:

I took the M-W class and found it to be extremely boring (to the point where you really can't take notes or even listen attentively) about 45 minutes into each class. However, I've heard that the M-W-F class is much more tolerable. So I recommend that. He's a good guy, just a bit redundant.

Comment:

This professor is extremely nice, one of my nicest and kindest professor. He is very helpful and explains things in detail ways when personally asking him for help. But his only problem is that he needs to make his powerpoint lectures a little more interesting by having a little more humor.

This class is extremely boring. He lectured every class using powerpoint. I struggled to stay awake. Every other week there is a quiz and the midterm and final was hard! Beware. I would advise taking another professor.

Very nice and friendly, works to make sure everyone understands. You need to take a lot of notes, but he's a fair grader and you'll do well if you study. I would definitely recommend him if you're interested in politics.

All he does is powerpoint lectures, it is really boring, he doesn't explain material well enough or talk about many current events. Grade is based on weekly quizzes, midterm.

Tough teacher. Leans to the left, but generally objective in class. He's really big on LBJ and Watergate.
