Comment:
Ugh... I really wish I took this class on campus instead of online. It was surprisingly hard. The tests really bring your grade down because there are only 13 questions and they're worth a lot. The papers also bring your grade down. I asked about extra credit and never got a response, which sucked. I wouldn't recommend this course to anyone.

I really had heart attacks with this class. If possible, you should take the one on campus instead, I really think you could have better attention and care from the professor. He is very late in responding to your emails and a lot of time you have to email twice to get your problems solved. DO EVERY EXTRA CREDITS THAT HE GAVE, it brought me 15% up

I took Political Science online so maybe that was my fault, but I was not a fan of this class. The materials are scattered and the PowerPoints are simple outlines. I wouldn't recommend this specific course unless you're fine with not learning much.

The class was pretty early in the morning, so I was there at least half the time. But his lectures are really good and specific, if you listen to them you will pass. Gives you a lot of opportunities for extra credit. By midterm I had a really low grade but I made an A, it takes a lot of work not to get an A. Just take notes during lecture.

The only problem I have is that the test questions are worth five points each. Missing just a couple of questions automatically drops your grade to a low B.

He gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit. Show up to class and take notes (considering his tests are open note). His test and quiz questions get a little wordy, but if you show up to class and sort of pay attention, there's no reason you shouldn't get a great grade.

I wasn't interested in political science, but it doesn't matter with this class. Just show up and do the work, you will get an A. He also gives opportunity for extra credit.

I took this class ONLINE. It's not as easy as it sounds-- you have to read excessive amounts of arguments and facts about politics and how everything works and post VERY SPECIFIC discussions on Bb. If anything is slightly off his instructions, he refuses to grade it. By far the most annoying and frustrating online class I have EVER taken.

TAKE THIS CLASS!!! You use your notes on the 2 exams (1 midterm and 1 final) and on your two online quizzes. You also have to write two, essays, but he always gives out 50/50. Attendance is mandatory, he passes out a sign in sheet EVERYDAY! This class is easy, so TAKE THIS ONE!

Boring is an understatement and he did not even provide feedback. Easy professor to get an A but worthless as a teacher.

I took his online class and it was easy!! I didn't even read the assignments and just took the tests. The tests are essay but it is all in your book!! Recommend him highly for this class because you can tell he is making it easy for you if you just turn the tests in on time and participate in the discussions!
