Comment:

I took this class online and what he was asking in the questions was so hard to understand. If you didn't answer the questions given in just the exact way he wanted you to, he would count off so many points. Even if you answered them just how he asked it still wasn't good enough. The work load wasn't too heavy, but he is just way too picky

Good dude. Sends mass messages throughout course. I took in the summer online. Weekly exams and assignments are pretty straightforward. Would recommend.

He gives really good lectures. Like, I am a person that has trouble concentrating and I had no problem in this class. There's a lot of notes, but if you take them, you'll do fine on the tests. Overall, would take again!

Awesome professor! He does give multiple assignments that are due on different days each week but his class is all around easy. Watch the videos read the pages and you will be golden.

Hes a really great professor. I took one of his online and in person classes. Hes great in both. His lectures are important because youll need the notes to pass the tests. Tests are all online and you can use your notes. He really makes the class feel like a conversation rather than a lecture. Hes smart, caring, and one of my favorite teachers.

Dr. Putz is an excellent professor. His class includes a good amount of homework and reading from the assigned textbook. Taking his course online for government, it was not difficult at all. All you have to do is keep up with the readings, homework, and study guides he provides you and you will excel in this class.

Comment:

You do have to get the textbook and a lot of the questions on the tests are from reading. The tests are online but are not multiple choice and are timed. The lectures are easy to understand. Attendance isn't mandatory but increases your chances on the tests by a lot. Overall I enjoyed the class. Slightly difficult but definitely achievable

I am currently taking this class online, he is so caring he will work one on one with you to understand things better. It is a lot of reading and homework but there are extra credit opportunities.

Took this class for online course and it was very easy. All the test are non proctored, with a catch. The catch is that its 50 multiple questions with an hour so just have notes ready. Gives out alot of extra credit and actually wants you to pass his course. He responds to emails and gives great feedback.

Comment:

Do the study guides and test will be easy. Tests are 50 questions and you have 1 hour. There are 5 test in the semester. 5 writing assignments, a minimum of 250 words so it's not hard, but it seems like no matter what you say, it's not good enough. There are 5 discussions and 15 Crash Course videos with about 10 questions. It's not a hard class.

Comment:

Although there is a crap ton of work, he's a great teacher. Lots of textbook reading, lectures, and papers/assignments. But as long as you do them, he grades pretty easy. There are study guides that helped with the test but you need to read in order to get all the info. Only 5 tests all on sections. No midterm or cumulative final. I recommend him!

Professor Putz sticks to his syllabus. There is quite a bit of work but its manageable, just stay on top of it. Do the study guides for the tests and use the book and you will definitely pass. I wouldn't say easy A but you get what you put in so if you're willing to do the work, your grade will be good. Wish he was teaching govt2306.

Comment:

I am not sure about others, but I had a bad experience with him. He would take points off for simple things. He acts like he is more likely an English teacher and have no respect for his students. Does not consider late assignments, and tests are bearable only if you take your time to do the study guide, literally takes so much time to study.

Good teacher. Make sure you pay attention to the syllabus and make sure you ask questions if you don't understand. Responds to emails in a timely manner. Gives you Reviews before quizzes. Wish he taught Gov 2 as well.

I was hesitant of taking his online class bc of the reviews but im so glad I did. He's so clear in what he wants. On all the assignments you turn in he tells you where you went wrong. As far as the test goes, if you do the study guide for each module, which he provides, you'll get an easy A... or B. Don't let these reviews fool you! EASY CLASS!!

Comment:

Putz was a very hard grader and had no respect for the students. My friend had gotten a concussion, and she was told that she couldn't do any school work but he did not care. She tried going to Lone Star to take a test she had missed and he said she couldn't take it, and she got a zero on the test. He is a tough teacher, and I don't recommend him.

This class was my least favorite of the semester. The lectures and the assignments were unclear to what he wanted. No writing assignments were ever good enough (there were only 5 and they were pretty easy and only 250 words). His test questions didn't make a lot of sense and we didn't even cover some of the things on his test. 1/5

Comment:

Mr. Putz is a basic teacher (and really nice) who makes class easy and learnable. However, you might fall asleep. You do not have to show up every day as long as you have a friend in the class to catch you up. There are a few writing assignments but they are very easy and basic. Read the textbook only for reading guides for the test, nothing else.
