If you need to take US government get in Waggner. The textbook is free and online. The lectures arent long and the grading criteria is clear. Even though attendance isnt required still show up because youll get extra info you will need on the test. She makes everything clear so if you show up and pay attention youll pass

Just go to class because everything that she says will be on the final. She only has three short exams that all come with reviews. She will give the people who attend the most, extra points and answers to the exam reviews. Very easy course. She will help you pass even if you think you are borderline failing by giving you extra credit assignments.

Was a great teacher! A little tough but just set up office hours with her weekly and youll be fine! Only 3 test in the class! You dont have to purchase a textbook she gives you the website to a free one! Do the review and study it and youll pass the class!

Professor wager is amazing. There's a total of 3 test the whole semester and they're super easy, just study the review. The book is FREE! Also if you struggled in the class there's an essay you can do to help improve your grade. Go to class! she gives out test answers or emails you extra reviews when people don't show, its like a reward for coming.

DO NOT TAKE HER. What she said and she did were quite different. No extra credits. Exams are hard and almost all from the book even if she said you don't need the book. Powerpoints are useless. Don't take her if you want an easy A

Comment:

DO NOT take Professor Waggener. At the beginning of the semester she said that her class was laid back and that there was no way that you should even receive a C. She says the textbook is not necessary, but 2 days before the first exam she said you will need to read it to pass. She is very wishy washy and unclear. Exams are hard and only 3 of them.

TAKE THIS CLASS if you want an EASY A. She is so helpful and is always willing to work with you outside of class. She will even go over your notes and tell you what you should and shouldn't study. Show up to class- make an A. Gives study guides and (3) 25 question tests. Very funny too.

If you are looking to get an easy A, TAKE THIS CLASS! She is really passionate about what she teaches and she gives good lectures. If you take notes and study, you'll get a good grade. The textbook was online, so you don't have to purchase any, but she does reference it. Doesn't post outlines, so come to class. She isn't boring at all.

TAKE THIS CLASS! If you are looking for an easy A and a super helpful professor, Waggener is your girl. Her tests come straight from her in class notes that she has projected up on the walls. Go to class, pay attention, and you will get the grade that you are aiming for.

Loved her. Very clear and straight forward about what is on the test, Only 3 tests then the final is just the 4th test (not cumulative). As long as you take good notes, review the notes she posts, and read the online textbook, you will pass! Get extra points for attendance.

She is a great professor. The only grades were 4 tests, but if you go to class and listen to the lectures you will easily pass the tests. If you were in class she would send you the lecture notes, so you didn't even have to write them down. The textbook is free so thats a plus. She was very willing to help any student that needed help.

The only grades for the class are exams and they are 25 question exams. If you just listen in her lectures and read what she tell you to read, you'll pass this class easily.

Comment:

This class requires very, very little outside work. Attendance does not effect your grade (though being there for lecture is pretty important). My class was huge, but still she made a serious effort to be there for every singly student - she really, genuinely wanted us to succeed. The book was free, she gave excellent reviews for the tests.

She gives four tests with a review for each. She's very specific about what will be on the test so if you do the review you should pass but if you come to class she'll actually do the review in class. Short lectures, very nice and pretty funny and interesting.

Tests are only 25 questions. Will only give out notes and review to students who attend class. Very laid back and makes the class enjoyable. However, on the tests there are usually a couple hard questions.

Comment:

i really dont know how to rate this professor. she is a nice woman. gives 3 tests and your final grade is the average of the 3 tests. each test is 25 questions. She tells you not to bother reading something but it shows up on about 6 questions on the test. its only 25 questions so if you miss 6 questions your average for that test will be a 76%.

Listen to everything she says and you will pass. Points out what will be on the test. Test are easy if you do the review and study it. Does not take attendance but if I were you I would go. Really makes sure you understand everything she is saying.
