Great Professor! Very knowledgeable about his course of study, and always open to helping students and answering any questions! Multiple choice quizzes are difficult and written quizzes aren't much better. NEED to do the reading to pass class, also don't skip class you will probably miss something.

Prof. G did a great job teaching this course. There are a lot of quizzes, but as long as you read the chapters they are very easy. Absolutely no tests/exams until the final. Lectures are discussion based, and participation is graded. Course is structured around current events and we read chapters based on what we've discussed in class. An easy A!

Comment:

Really into hearing himself talk and loves it when the students agree with him. If you want to listen to people repeat themselves for an hour, take this class. Never made it through an entire powerpoint, very disorganized, and I felt like we barely applied media to anything-- it was all theoretical stuff. Super disappointed.

Love this professor! He taught the large class well and it was very interesting. There's a lot of class participation which makes it interesting. The homework isn't hard, just do it. There are quite a few quizzes but if you do the homework they won't give you a problem. Definately recommend!!

The best pols class i have EVER taken. He's so knowledgable and his class is discussion based. He is so good at keeping the discussion pertinent to our class material and keeps us up with current events with the washington post. Plus he is very cute! i would highly recommend his class as long as youre willing to keep up with the reading

really interesting guy, a little bit conceited and into himself. he is also amazingly HOT. sometimes it's distracting. his quizzes are fair, but he's a difficult grader. highly recommend his class, you learn a lot.

Comment:

While he is VERY cute, that was about the only thing that kept me interested in this class. The entire class for Pols21 is discussion based, in which students talk 98% of the time. I've spent an entire semester hearing what other students "feel" about poltics, and I am totally underprepared for the final. Not a good class if you like solid teachin

Comment:

NOT bias, any polisci student can tell you that one should be critical of their govt and in these times (prior to most recent election) it happens to be R and it's not doing a great job. ProfG wants to hear from students that have different views, especially from those who don't share the lefty leanings that 90% of this campus have. Great professo

One of the most awesome men to engage in a political discussion with, and assigns the best readings you can't help but want to do well in his class, Prof G is the Man.
