Not your average lecturer. He's kind of a mad-man, but in a good way. Faulk cares more about your actual learning than about making you jump through pointless hoops.

Comment:

Dan Faulk was the worst teacher of my college career. He is self-obsessed and narcissistic, and constantly berates students. I saw him insult my classmates intellect, and spent a significant amount of time talking about drugs (as well as himself) instead of subject matter.

Despite what you see on here, Dan Faulk's class is seriously amazing. It is truly a class that makes you question a lot and really think critically. Dan is a crazy man who will make you laugh and pretty much says anything uncensored. All grades are from group projects, go to lectures because he will explain everything.

Comment:

I signed up to political science like many of you to get the GE done with. Yes, his lectures are long but they aren't boring. His way of teaching is unique and refreshing. This class has taught me more about the real world than ANY other class I have taken in the pass 3 years. It is difficult, you will have to read some but no textbooks!

Comment:

Opt to take this course online or with a different prof if you are just taking it to get your GE/institutions credit. He makes this course much more difficult and time consuming than it needs to be. That being said, if you are a poly sci major he gives deep lectures.

You will never meet a professor like this. His lectures are extremely interesting (most of the time) and the way he teaches is something to get used to. He makes class fun and intriguing but I won't lie, his projects are intense. He means well and has good intentions. I strongly recommend, ONLY if you can handle a challenge.

Comment:

At first I thought the guy was nuts. He seems to be very intense and I think he just does it to scare students away. Throughout the semester, I realized that he just wanted us to be more well-informed of our rights as citizens. He's a funny, dude. You won't ever get bored in class but get ready to do lots of work

Comment:

Dan is weird. He knows far more about the real world than you do so let his lessons sink in. It's a perfect night class because you just get to listen to a brilliant lunatic rave for three hours. Class is 100% group projects and every assignment is very open ended. You actually have to use you brain for this class (so it's not for everyone).

Comment:

Amazing professor and great guy even if it doesn't seem like it at first. He offends pretty much everyone at some point, but he's usually being sarcastic. His class is not hard if you go to his office hours. Getting an A is easy if you remember that EVERYTHING IS NEGOTIABLE. Don't give him dark chocolate unless he has to re-grade something.

Comment:

As intense and terrifying as Dan Faulk may be, he does an exceptional job of challenging your perception about our governmental, societal, and economic institutions. His class WILL alter your philosophies and knowledge about the world we live in, though whether that is for better or for worse is entirely subjective.

Dan was one of the best teachers I've ever had! His humor and satire are on point, the work isn't too difficult, but he's made me think like so few others have. Please, if you have any choice, take this class! And GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS

Comment:

He is an amazing professor, but be prepared to ask questions. If you don't understand something ASK HIM. He will help you, especially if he knows that you care. I would recommend doing the extra credit project. It will help your grade, plus its fun if you're into it. TALK TO HIM OUTSIDE OF CLASS. Don't let yourself get behind, and go to lecture.

he's an amazing professor but wasn't very clear on what he wanted on the projects. We didn't have tests really, nor homework. Attendance isn't mandatory as long as you get the work done on time. He's an amazing speaker, defiantly makes you think about the government and what it upholds.

Sarcastic so don't take him serious. Have an open mind about everything or else you're going to look stupid trying to argue with him.

This guy is one of the most amazing people I've ever met. It should be mandatory to take his class, it really opens your eyes. Attendance is totally mandatory, but still worth it to go. Make sure you find a group of people who won't lead you to failure because the group projects are the graded part of the class. 10/10
