Really a great professor. If you go to every lecture, pay attention, and take detailed notes then you can learn a lot from the course.

You're either going to love him or hate his guts there is no two ways about it. Lot of reading, and you need to read carefully. Dumb hard grader, and can seem unfair at times.

Along with many other classmates, I felt as though Professor Passavant was extremely intelligent, however he was very full of himself and didn't always respect the students in class.

Hard teacher but really worth your while if you care about the subject. He really cares about his students and loves when you succeed. You definitely have to work for your grade but it is worth it in the end.

He has a strong grasp of the material in which he teaches; well-prepared. Makes you think and apply concepts, and quizzes and tests are straightforward. When accessible for help, extremely useful.

At first I was very intimidated by him, but you have to learn that he respects when you speak up and especially ask questions. Definitely cannot get away with skimming the homework because he tends to call out people who aren't paying attention or look like they don't know what's going on.

He's a pretty cool guy, subliminally reinforces a liberal stance during discussion. Interesting subject plus the class isn't too demanding. If you take notes in class and study you'll do just fine.

Hard teacher. Expects a lot from students. Took him for intro and he was ok, but in higher level courses and especially seminars he truly expects graduate level work, no less, regardless of your plans after college. Bring a dictionary/thesaurus to class, uses big words to intimidate, but also because he thinks it's fun. Can be very mean, on purpose

Hilarious guy and great professor. Expects a lot from students in a good way. One of the best professors on campus. He is difficult and there is a lot of work, but well worth it in the end. Take intro to see if you like him or not before enrolling in a higher level course

The best professor in the school, in my humble opinion. Expect to work, but that is the point of higher education, is it not?

Outrageous expextations. It's slighly creepy how well versed he is in legal court cases, without hold a degree in law. Vauge about what he wants on tests, and doesn't return tests for months. finished class with a greater appreciation for the courts, and understand how out of line the circuit courts are from one another. Hard class

Very cute, looks like Ross from friends. When I asked him how he felt about the elections, he said, "We're ****ed". This man is hilarious! Take his classes!

Opinionated, difficult, engaging (usually), hot (looks exactly like David Schwimmer on Friends!) tons of reading, expects a lot out of students...the more you put in, the more you get out. I'd recommend trying an intro of his before taking an upper level course with him.
