Comment:

Frank was a decent professor. However, he was a bit unprofessional in the things he talked about at times, which is understandable being in a political science class. He called me out in class one time for missing 2 of his classes when several other students had missed more. Kinda ticked me off but over all a solid professor and good guy.

A lot of online quizzes (busy work) but a dynamic lecturer who is obviously passionate about his job and committed to getting students to share his enthusiasm. Not a tough class for me, but then again this is my major. HIGHLY, highly recommended.

Dr. Frank does a pretty good job of keeping students engaged. The class itself is okay, he does a really fair job grading and works pretty hard to make sure that everyone gets the best grade they can.

Dr. Frank is my advisor and and the main POSC professor so I have had hima nd will continue to have him for the remainder of my college career. Dr. Frank is a great professor but not the easiest. If you are trying to maintain a 4.0 he is not for you. I love the man as a proffessor but of everyone I have talked to I have not known anyone to get an A

Comment:

Dr. Frank is incredibly personable, and always willing to answer any questions we had. If we needed to call him at midnight before a paper was due because of something, it never bothered him. Although the material can be incredibly boring, Frank tries to lighten it up.

This class was really great. I enjoyed getting to know all about Congress. That last post is totally wrong. We did get papers back and every assignment was clearly noted on the schedule online. Even if it wasn't 100 percent clear, just asking him would have cleared it up. Amazingly wonderful professor and good class.

I love how he teaches. He is one of my best profs yet! He actually has a passion for what he is doing and he shows it in his teaching. Sometimes things are a little unclear but if you ask for help he is willing to give it to you. And he always is making small talk with people and not just trying to be our teacher. He cares about what goes on with us and much as he cares about our grades. I totally hope to have other classes with him!

I loved American Government. He is the most genuinely nonpartisan person I have ever met. He is my favorite professor and I highly respect him.

I took him for Law, Politics and Society, and he never gave a sing assignment back to us. The class discussions were fun when they occured, but the rest of the class was pointless.

He is crappy at getting assignments back to you but a really good prof overall. He likes to do fun questions before class starts and tries to make things interesting and easy to understand.

Nice teacher, keeps your attention well. Has a very obvious liberal taint to his class, however, which is disappointing.
