Comment:

This class is awesome. The professor is the head of the head of political science department. He knows more about constitutional law than any other person I have met. His tests are easy if you study a little bit and show up to class. Highly recommend his civil liberties seminar. A lot of reading, but you learn a lot and the cases are all important.

Comment:

Had him for Constitutional Law. He was not too bad. Grade was based on two tests and a paper. His presentation is a little dry, but he knows the law inside and out. Attendance is taken and homework is optional. Does reviews on day of tests. He assigns a lot of reading but I personally never read any of it, went to 90% of the classes, and got an A-.

Comment:

Not the best professor, but not the worst. Grade is based on 2 tests and a paper that you have all semester to write. Homework optional. Class is long and he is a bit boring but just pay attention somewhat and you should do fine. He assigns a lot reading but it is not necessary to pass. Show up to class and you should get at least a B.

Look, show up to class, take notes, do the reading, and you'll be fine. This guy Knows his stuff!! and stay ahead of the papers, those can kill you at the end of the semester but if you stay ahead of them and work on them consistently all year long, easy grader, and you will actually learn something!!

Comment:

Doesn't take attendance but you're hurting yourself by not going. Fair amount of reading but if you keep up the tests are a breeze, no curve-balls there. Final is 2 papers, 3 for honors section, but still worth it if it's your major / interest.

Maybe there could be more class involvement throughout the semester. Lectures can seem long.

This guy made me want to be a lawyer. Write down everything he says and memorize it. His seminars are better the best.

I have taken his const law and seminars. He's an easy teachers, who knows a lot of information. I enjoyed his seminars moreso than his other classes. If you don't mind reading or writing papers, take his classes.

All in all, not a bad guy. Rambles a bit, but we covered a lot of material. ~pretty~ good at not showing biased opinions on matters, but sometimes slips through. Easy tests/papers.

Great teacher, very knowledgeable, fair and entertaining. Classes often involve a lot of paper writing, but he grades very lightly as long as you demonstrate a grasp of the material.
