Comment:

he's a good teacher, but a nit-picky grader. you have to be precise about everything you say, and i suggest you ask him to look over any essays or papers, just to see if you're on the right track.

Comment:

Great teacher! I really enjoyed the weeks he taught. Lectures are done on power point, just copy down the slides and you'll have all the info you need for the tests. Tests are very easy if you study off your notes and use the book for anything your unclear about.

Very conservative professor who teaches his lectures with a biased point of view. He lectures well but gives tough exams with no study guide. Take notes and you should do ok.

I learned a lot from his lectures. He is very flexible about the schedule and not demanding. As long as you come and listen to his lectures, you'll be fine.

Comment:

An unclear professor. Theres class discussions but he gets carried away and loses the whole point of the lesson. His handouts are just quotes from the books with no explanation at all. So what u get from the class are a few quotes thats it. Also, dont take him if u dont like reading one book a week!

I found his class very boring. He talks for 30 - 45 minutes about current events and it was fun. But, the lectures are so boring. I am a PoliSci major and got a C. Not very promising.

I find his lecturing style very obnoxious and almost condescending. I am afraid to ask questions in class because of the biased way he presents his class. midterms are easy.

Comment:

Strickler has a political bias, and he wants to spread it to the class. He does so by purposefully slanting his lectures, ignoring the details of important parts of law and court cases. With only two grades in the class, achieving an A is difficult.

Comment:

Lectures are super boring especially at 7:30 in the morning. Gives weekly pop quizzes that are super hard. Everything comes from lecture which means you can't see something on board or miss a class, you're going to fail the class. Super thick textbook.
