Comment:

The reading is definitely a requirement for this class. I took it as a dual enrollment student in high school and the 12 hours of campaigning opened the door to many more opportunities. There are tons of extra credit opportunities in the beginning. Reading and taking notes in class is all the work that needs to be done. Would take again.

I shouldve listened to those comments telling me not to take her. Class is 3 tests n 1 final. Lowest test is dropped excluding final. Tests are ea 50 multiple choice and 1 essay in the blue book. Final is 75 questions and a very long essay requirement. There are 12 hours of campaigning required. Only take if u care abt politics or ull H8 urself

Comment:

Boy, she was challenging... but im glad I took Pol Sci with her. I wasnt so interested in politics and that whole subject but she gets you engaged in it I didn't like the thought of the volunteering in the begining, but after doing campaign work, I was glad I completed the assignment. Exams from powerpoint notes and lecture. take notes!

Comment:

The textbook is required to pass. She does online homework which is graded based off of completing it not how many you got right. Her class is easy as long as you show up and put in the work. She is really passionate and wants you to succeed but you need to work for it. I took her during an election and she kept her views as private as possible.

Prof. Edwards gives amazing lectures! You MUST show up to class and you MUST read the book!!! She uses excerpts from class lectures that are not in the book on every exam. She has conservative views, but is open-minded and hears from all sides. She is a tough lady, but you can tell she cares deeply and passionately about teaching and PoliSci.

Comment:

I was told I would be getting an unbiased look into American politics and government. Instead I got an extremely liberally bias view of politics. Without stating my personal opinion, I would like to see an even playing field described so that way the students can choose what they want. Instead, one party's beliefs were being stated as fact.

Comment:

Professor Edwards is a must take when it comes to Political Science. Taking her class during the election is great because it provided us a better understanding of the processes of the election. To get an A, you have to read the book, hands down. Buy the online access because she takes a lot of the questions from the online quizzes.

She was a good professor. Show up everyday and take notes and you have to read textbook. She gives you essay questions for exams in advance to take advantage. If you show up and read textbook, guaranteed B at least

Comment:

This class was easy and I didn't like Professor Edwards at first but she sort of grew on me. Although a main part of the class is a "group project" when you get into a group and end up writing your own papers so there's really no point. If you pay attention to lectures and do the online quizzes you'll easily pass.

Easy class. Just put in the effort. Final was not hard. We literally chose 20 of the final questions and the rest were basic review.

Comment:

She is an easy grader, and I loved everything she had to say in lecture. I have found that in order to get an A, you MUST READ EVERY CHAPTER she goes over, study the questions from the online quizzes, review notes, and write down the extra info she mentions that isn't listed on the slides. Not too bad. 3 tests, drops the lowest one.

Professor Edwards was average to me. I liked the way of her teachings but she wasn't my favorite. Wasn't willing to help if You asked a question she will make it seem like you don't pay attention in class. Overall, average class. You work for your grade. Group project, a long paper, 3 exams plus final and she drops one. Reasonable. Good luck!!!:D

Really great teacher. You can tell she's really excited about the topic. She's really entertaining and lets you know what's going to be on the exam. Make sure you not only read the slides, but also skim through the texts and jot down what she tells you is important.

Take Professor Edwards if want a passionate professor who encourages students to ask questions and add comments. Although she can say the wrong things sometimes, she is very nice. If you read the textbook on time and take notes during class, you'll do fine.

Comment:

Inspired me to be a poly sci major. Loved the class. Don't be afraid of the volunteer work for the campaigns if she makes you do it because it's actually quite fun and you get a chance to have that on your resume for future. Take her exams seriously though and do EVERY prep she gives you because those answers and questions WILL be on the exam!
