So glad I took him for this class. He is very focused on students learning the material and staying engaged. There's a few take home assignments that aren't too difficult, and he gives out study guides for his three exams. He is really passionate about the class and made it way easier to pay attention during lectures.

Professor Santos is a fantastic Professor for US foreign policy. Hes hilarious and connects with the students very well. Very little homework, a few tests (that he gives a great study guide for ;) ) and a mini project. You wont regret this choice.

This class is the best! Prof. Santos is super passionate about what he teaches, and it's interesting to learn. Attendance isn't mandatory and neither is the book. He gives you the test like a week before the exam, you just have to memorize it. No homework and really easy take home projects!

I took Professor Santos as a summer intensive and he was awesome. He obviously knows his stuff and enthusiastic about it too. He also doesn't mind being asked stupid question about basic politics. He was simply great

I love this guy. I've taken 3 classes with him and enjoyed them all. While his lectures are long (and sometimes confusing), you can tell he is super passionate about the subject matter and knows his stuff. One of the nicest teachers on campus--wouldn't recommend anyone more.

He is extremely energetic and loves what he does. Some of his lectures can be kind of confusing. He gives you the test in advance so you can figure out the answers and be really prepared. The projects are also really easy. He wants everyone to get an A.

Take notes during lectures, read the slides, DO read the book while preparing for the tests and you should get a 3.7 - 4.0. The best part about the class was his enthusiasm for the subject. He's definitely one of the best professors I've met. Highly recommended!!!

Nicest Professor you'll ever meet. Always willing to help out with anything. Do need to know a lot of information for tests and papers, but if you work hard, a 4.0 is well within reach. Try to get this professor if you can at any cost to your schedule.
