Comment:

every other professor pales in comparison to Dr. Pious. He is absolutely the best teacher I have ever had including grad school. If only all my teachers were as smart and as effective teachers as he was, I would be an Einstein by now.

Comment:

THE BEST OF THE BEST. No TAs, you get a real feedback from a professor. Superb scholar; his lectures are the most fascinating lectures ever. He really cares about you & is glad to clarify the material. He actually teaches you; what I learned in his class got me through my pol sci major. I learned in his class more than I did in all others combined.

Comment:

If you have come to the University to learn, then there are few professors who you should rather than a class from than professor Pious. He knows what he is talking about, demands that his students learn, but gives you the tools to do it with. You will come out knowing more than when you went in, and that is the goal of going to a school like columbia. If you are there to play, to put your feet up on the chair, and get offended easily, go to another class or school. he treats you like and adult and expects

Comment:

Has his shtick down pat. But, it comes loaded with condescension, arbitrary exercises of authority, and a retrograde "best and brightest" attitude about government & Ivy League schools.
