Comment:

Lectures are all over the place really. I think she really enjoys teaching, but she needs to rework her tests according to the lecture material. She drops lowest score. Due the extra credit, an attend every class. It will help in the end when it comes to the grading curve. Trust me

A must take for a good grade. Everyone failed first test and we still made out good at the end. She drops lowest test score and gives extra credit. I also learned so much. She is right on.

Comment:

The professor's lectures were the same every week - a continuous dribble of Republican/Tea Party agenda and a monotonous bashing of President Obama. She even made the class read passages from the New Testament and then asked which political spectrum Jesus Christ would be affiliated with. GOP=Good, Democrats=Bad. Remember this and you'll get an A.

Comment:

I honestly don't know one thing she talked about the entire semester. She goes around in circles, and there's no point to her lectures at all. She hands out random articles that don't make any sense to her lecture. And her tests are impossible.

THE WORST TEACHER EVER! Made the 16 weeks so boring.. all she does is leture, and what she lecutres isnt even on her test. Her dropping the lowest score is pointless. She... is... just awful.I loved political science, until i had her has a teacher. Take professor Hinkle!!!!

lectures all class every class, gets off topic. lectures are not topics on tests. random extra credit for attendance, but not mandatory. No homework, 4 tests, lowest score dropped. Long tests, use the book lectues dont help. If you are a good reader or like politics take this class.

Comment:

I was scared to take her because of all the bad reviews on this website but she is actually interesting. A lot of her views conflict with mine, but I still think she really knows her stuff. Try top keep an open mind. She's pretty unorganized but her tests are easy. Attendance is not mandatory but tests mostly cover what she goes over in class.

Comment:

I personaly liked her. I don't know if she's republican or democrat b/c she does do her best to give you the 2 sides of the story. She knows her stuff. You sometimes watch movies. take notes and read the book 2 brush up and you'll be fine. NO HW! extra credit on random days.& it helps with ur grade. I never studied but I listend 2 lects still pass

Comment:

badddd teacher! but EASY class. she has random extra credit days. if u get all of the (there are 3) you will get an extra 15 pts added to your final grade. plus she drops ur lowest test grade. her lectures suck and it was hard to make myself attend this class but it was worth it for whenever u might have the extra credit days.

Comment:

Her lectures were bland but she knew what she was talking about. Her tests were hard because they had nothing to do with what we went over. She's not the greatest when it comes to organization (her writing on the board was barely legible). But I got through it and so can you. I give it a 5/10

Comment:

Whole class consists of videos and articles. The tests are insanely easy-all you have to do is read the book. She also cancels class a lot-about once a month when I took her. I got an A only because I read the book. READ THE BOOK! If you want a 2 hour nap, take this class.

Comment:

Yes I agree McMallian is extremely boring, but she is the easiest teacher I've had at Saddleback. She has an insane grading curve and as long as your regurgitate her right-wing rhetoric on the tests, you'll have an automatic A.

She's from another planet. She is the worse teacher eveRRR. She is boring, unclear and uneducated. She talkes about stuff that aren't even related to political science. Stay away from her and ur good.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS... she is so unclear its not even funny. Her study guides are hand written and messy words all thrown together. She is a smart lady but this class is boring and confusing I think she is crazy.
