Comment:
After some time, the classes can be a bit boring and dry. However, I did not even need my books at all, but some of the content was on the exams--which had wonderful test curves. He was very good at explaining things, and was very willing to help if you had any questions. He's very knowledgeable and never forced his opinion on us.

Comment:
Very well educated man on the subject, but not a great teacher. His liberal ramblings and biased ideas play too much into the classroom. This class was meant to educate students on American politics, not to influence opinions and force opinions on students.

Comment:
He's horrible. He thinks that because you "can get everything you need for the exam" from the lectures that you don't need extra credit opportunities. That's entirely untrue, since he can't stay on topic long enough to understand what he's saying and be adequately prepared to be tested on it.

Comment:
The only way you'll succeed is if you attend the lectures(sit up front) and READ, READ, and REVIEW. I got B+s on the first two exams, and then I stopped going to the lectures. I still read and reviewed, but I only managed a D on the third. As pointless as his lectures may seem, you should attend them and the video classes. Overall tho, he sucks.

no point in attending lectures, not very charismatic. if you're not in the front rows your're not going to hear him. a ridiculous amount of reading needed for just a 101 class. exams though are not hard IF you study and read the material.

Lectures were pointless, most people slept in them. It was really hard to understand what he was talking about. Never reviewed for exams.
