Comment:
Very VERY liberal. Beyond that good guy. If you can't keep up in his class, you're going to fail college all together. Tells lots of stories, and the same ones multiple times in the same day. Buy him some cookies and try to eat lunch with him. I got an A and failed every test, and all I did was eat lunch with him and buy him cookies.

Dr. Tate is VERY biased. He is VERY liberal and makes sure that he slaps you in the face with it. Do yourself a favor and take Decker. He is the least biased Polsci professor I have seen.

I took Dr. Tate's honors class my first semester and made an A, although I'm not exactly sure how!! He grades essays very harshly. He's a lot of fun to listen to, and is very "with it" for an older guy. Its unusual to find such a liberal old guy, especially here in the south! He likes to talk politics, but isn't biased.

He reminds me of someones sweet grampa. Great stories about the good ole days, but still says somethings that makes you feel like hes still with it, perhaps even ****ed. But hes not ashamed. Lots of essays with harsh grading. DONT DROP. The tests get progressively easier, and the final is simple!! Awesome guy, says hi to you in the hall!

The cutest old man in the world, but can be a little brash! Seems to have favorites. Be prepared for essay test (which I loved). I never thought I would be interested in government.

Tate is an interesting man... in many ways. Tests are based 75% lecture, 25% book and are done in essay format. To pass with a good grade I would suggest being present for all lectures and take good notes... write down everything he does and then some! Overall a nice guy and easy to communicate with.

Dr. Tate is by far my favorite teacher at Macon State. He has an amazing personality and really knows about American Government! His essay tests ARE hard, but if you have a B going into the final, and you study you're going to get an A. His final is SUPER easy, worth like 150 points and it's multiple choice. AWESOME TEACHER!

The man knows his stuff. He says some very brash and sometimes offensive statements, but its hilarious b/c it comes from an old man. His tests are hard, but if you listen and attempt to do well then he will help you out....take him, it will be an interesting experience....

AWFUL......should have retired before insanity set IN!I agree with the other 2 students comments....I second the motion about the brown nosing and the rude comments and is it me or does anyone care about his personal life.....he does not need to teach in an area that he is not familiar with...he may know the basics for POL 101 but..BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!

I really learned a lot in this class. It wasn't easy, but I learned a lot. He's very funny, although I don't think he's trying to be most of the time. If you put forth some effort, it's very possible to make an "A" in his class.

Dr. Tate does not grade on you knowledge of the material rather on whether he approves of your lifestyle. While he may know his material, he has no teaching skills. He is opinionated, brash, and rude. If you are a total brown noser, then maybe you should take him, if you really want to learn then take someone who really wants to teach.

Comment:
VERY HARD. Great if you like politics. Final grade may be better than you expect. This teacher will make you sweat on your textbook. Behind the blunt, arrogant teacher is an understanding, passionate man who want's to influence students. PS- It's very hard to make comments or ask questions in class because he may remark your question as dumb.
