Comment:

Unfortunately there is no text or book to go off of. The only thing you are supposed to rely on his lectures, which were boring and hard to follow along since he would ramble. Class requires that you study hard for the tests. If you plan on making an A, you either need to be gifted to pay attention, or get with a study group in class.

Great at giving lectures. But, you must study hard for the tests. If you are really dedicated, you will do good in the class.

Comment:

Ok , so jones is overall a good professor . He really only gives take home quizzes and tests. And he makes the final optional . Honestly as long as you pay attention to his lectures you will pass. But, if you don't like politics / history the lectures will be so boring . And he is very monotone. But it's a easy easy class if you pay attention

Comment:

Mr. Jones will first come off as a very monotone guy, but he knows his stuff. The GOVT 2305 class consists of PowerPoint lectures, take-home quizzes and four tests followed by an optional final that has the ability to replace your lowest test score. In brief, pay attention during his lectures (the hardest part of the class) and you will do fine.

Mainly just quizzes and tests, straight-forward. No group work or papers to write. I'd take it.

Mr. Jones is a really interesting professor. He gives take-home quizzes which will help your grade a lot. As long as you go to class and pay attention, you'll do just fine. Also, he uploads the slides online. All tests are multiple choice and easy if you study.

Comment:

He is an awesome teacher,he does a lot of power points. the beginning of the power points is political news and if you know that stuff you get bonus points on your tests. He is very knowledgable and smart.He also gives you a test review before the test if you actually study that your sure to make an A everything that is on the review is on the test

Comment:

Mr. Jones is nice and presents an unbiased opinion about politics. He might be a bit dry, but he's NOT a terribly boring, rude conservative teacher like some others have said (I'm liberal and I thought he was plenty fair). I'm very uninterested in government, but he made it a tolerable experience. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Jones is SOOOOOO boring. He talks in a monotone and just rambles on and on and on and on ..... he also doesn't finish his sentences. Nobody wants to go to class because it's boring and all we do is read powerpoints.

AS LONG AS YOU PAY ATTENTION, TAKE NOTES, AND READ THE BOOK, IT'S VERY EASY TO PASS THIS COURSE. EVERYTHING HE SAYS IS ON THE TEST! AND HE REPEATS ALOT SO...... HE'S A VERY LAID BACK GUY. AND THE TEST AREN'T COMPREHENSIVE SO ONCE YOU TEST ON IT, IT'S OVER, EVEN THE SEAMESTER EXAM IS ONLY 3 CHAPTERS

Comment:

He knows his stuff. I took him for three semesters(GOVT 2301, 2302 and Geography), and really learned a lot. He has a passion for teaching and he is caring. He pays attention to his students and knows who is trying to learn the information and who isn't. If you show up and take notes you will pass his class.If you don't pass you're not trying.

His approach is very dry. But, he does allow students to participate as much as they are willing. He seeks for student questions and hope that this class is usefull in their lives. Not the most exciting prof. Once past his dryness he conveys the info

Comment:

He is a very uncaring person. He doesn't seem to have a passion for teaching, and he is VERY boring. I wouldn't recommend this class to anyone, unless it's a last resort. He's very rude to his students, and doesn't care at all about what grade you get.
