Comment:
So, so frustrating. He's a genius, but cannot synthesize it in a way that is digestible for students of this century. Doesn't use slides and requires the recitation of endless (and ultimately pointless) lists. His specificity and knowledge should be commended, his teaching should not. His tests and exams never fail to be brutal. Good luck

Dr. Alulis's class is tough, but it is passable! The quizzes are difficult and I failed almost all of them, he asks for very very specific details, but you can make up for it with your papers! As I said, I badly failed almost every quiz, but my papers were good, so I got a B+. He appreciates attendance and class participation, so make sure to talk!

Professor Alulis is very knowledgeable in his field, so I enjoyed learning from him, but since he is so knowledgeable he sometimes says things that go way over everybody's head. He expects you to know a lot.

Comment:
He is definitely one of the tougher professors at NPU. The thing that makes him tough is his TESTS and papers!!!! He does give a study guide to help you review, and the answers on the study guide are exactly how they appear on the test. BUT, there are a lot of questions that are so bloated, that it makes it very difficult to memorize every answer.

Comment:
There were not a lot of assignments for this class. Two tests, a final, a 5 page paper, and a short presentation on that paper. The tests are a little intimidating, but he gives you clear study guides that tell you what might be on the test.

Comment:
Professor Alulis knows what he's talking about. So well that he often forgets he's talking to students who aren't as well-read as he is. But he's so enthusiastic about the material it's contagious. His class requires a lot of reading and (sometimes useful) lectures. It is often difficult to interpret his expectations, so speak with him often!

Great teacher, very knowledgeable about politics both domestic and foreign. His classes are challenging, compared to the other North Park offers, but at least you're getting some education there. Not everyone will pass, but overall he is fair in his grading. If you're motivated, you should really take him as a teacher (and he does NOT have a lisp!)

Comment:
Alulis is intelligent, but he has no common sense what so ever. He does not know how to keep things simple. He likes to be difficult. He gives the hardest exams ever, and he is not lenient grading papers. You may learn a thing or two in his class, but you will not get a satisfactory grade. If I were you, I would stay away from Alulis

Comment:
For an Intro to Politics class, one I had chosen to take as an elective, it is completely ridiculous. I was no expecting HALF of the material we go over and concentrate 95% of class time on. He has an awful lisp which is distracting, and is not very lenient in his grading of exams or papers whatsoever. DO NOT take his class!

EXCELLENT! This Professor is remarkable in his ability to convey his enthusiasm and commitment to Politics and Government! He really gets the students excited (out of love or fear) about the content of the material we should know inside and out.
