Comment:

It's hard to take a class seriously when the professor doesn't. I don't mind that his class was challenging and required more studying than expected. I mind that he always showed up to class late and unprepared. I mind that we spent most of the class time off-topic. Don't take him if you want to learn about government, or if you want an easy A.

Comment:

Worse online instructor ever! It takes him atleast a week to get back to you and after you take his quizes you don't even know which ones you get right and which one you get wrong so you don't even know the correct answer to help you with the final. Good thing they are going away with this class.

Comment:

Mr. Fraser is SUCH a great guy. His lectures are fun and invigorating, and he's very passionate about what he teaches. He often starts debates about certain current events, but he has mastered appearing neutral. He will play the devil's advocate to make you think, but he is very respectful of your thoughts and beliefs. Fun, easy class!

Mr. Fraser makes Govt interting his lectures are enjoyable, however I did find his test rather hard but if you put an effort you will do okay in his class! Very funny and make you want to "be more involved!" You do not use the book in his class but will have to read out of it at home because he test out of it. Really nice guy but have to be up for

Comment:

I am not a big fan of government, but he still made it interesting. His tests come from his lectures and his notes. It helps to print out the notes he provides on blackboard. His tests aren't super easy, but as long as you attend class and take notes, you should at least pass. Although his jokes are a little corny, it still keeps class interesting

I love having a prof that really cares about what they're teaching. His tests are straight from his lectures, and we didn't really have to use the book. And he'll definitely keep you entertained without trying too hard to be "cool". My only complaint is that he's married ;)

He was pretty cool. He kept me really interested and the class discussions made me want to come to class. He is probably the most random professor you will ever have. He will randomly twith, yell, and rave about his coffee. Sometimes made we want to kick him. Hes great!!

Comment:

Not a hard class at all,every once in a while you see a question he didn't cover but not really a big deal.FRASIER is just plain annoying.He thinks he's so funny,but noone laughs at his jokes. Its EXTREMELY ANNOYING when he mumbles, and out of nowhere he'll raise his voice to a screaming level. Made me want to shoot him in the face! Easy class tho.

He is easy I never go to class and make good grades on the tests! He puts your notes on blackboard so you can just print them off!! He is a good teacher. I wish there were no highschool kids in the class then we could actually learn more!

Comment:

Fraser was a really great professor. If you get past his intimidating nature, you find a really nice and helpful teacher. Study your notes well and the tests are passable. If all else fails in the class, at least he was really good to look at. That itself is enough to come to class for.

He is a awesome teacher. he wants his students to succeed! he will bend over backwards for his students, If you take notes in class and print his notes on blackboard you should be fine. Just study a little bit outside of class then ACE the test!!!
