Comment:

Very interesting guy and he knows his stuff. He genuinely wants you to know what's going on and he makes difficult concepts simple to understand. He records all of his classes and posts them to blackboard,but I still recommend coming to class so you can play off of his ideas and get his feedback.

Great professor! Intelligent, insightful, and passionate. He makes you WANT to become aware of what is taking place on the global stage. Which is something that the youth fails to do.

Comment:

I was never interested in the subject and barely attended lectures so i got the grade i deserved-C. I think this class is not very hard, you just have to attend lectures and read! Thats the key. He really does know his subject and teaches well and i am not blaming him for my bad grade, i deserved it. He is worth taking, just be present in class.

Comment:

I took his Comparative Politics (Southeast Asia) class and he made it absolutely worthwhile. Unfortunately, I was unable to go to every class which made it harder to catch up because the readings were more complex than what I could handle at that time. But he has opened my eyes to the works of Said, Anderson, Lijphart and even his own. His influenc

Comment:

Poli of Protest. I like Boudreau, but this class was horrible. The readings were mostly sociology and theory not much politics. They were all difficult. he didnt do a good job of explaining them either. Assignments were hard. He should consider doing PP or something just so students get the main point from the readings. Material is boring to.

Comment:

Great guy, super hot. He has a way with language that'll bring a girl to her knees. He is very lenient when it comes to attendance because your grades will be a reflection of that. His only downfall, I would say, is that he doesn't prepare students well for exams. A whole lot of reading, not enough direction on what to focus on for exams, but HOT!

Comment:

Took World Politics with the man.Good Professor, knows his stuff, but forces you to think and sometimes he goes off topic. (1) 5-7pg paper, (6) 1pg journals, midterm and final. DO the readings and take notes b/c the tests are based on them. Seems like alot of work but its not. just stay on top of it and youll be fine.

Comment:

Multiple classes with Vince. The man is awesome! Those slagging him are indubitably lazy whiners that wanted an easy grade rather than actually learning something. One of the few individuals who changed the way I thought of the world. I'm so sorry he actually tried to make a few of you learn something rather than simply tossing you an A or a B.

Comment:

I thought I was a politics person until I took this class. I was even considering majoring in Political Science, but after taking this class, I knew it wasnt for me. I had to drop the class in October. If you are not into world politics, NEVER take this class. He is nice, but his lectures are boring as HELL. He gives weird assignments. DONT RECOMME

Comment:

Self-absorption will gain a new meaning in your dealing with this professor. He is the funniest example of the pseudo-intellectual who likes to elaborate on even the smallest things with the refined language but in reality says nothing about the subject-matter. He should have been a LINGUIST! Political Science requires more wit and intellect.

Comment:

He is okay. I mean, I like that he doesn't talk through out the class and ask a lots of question to try to draw people into discussion. He is a good guy and student friendly. 1 Final 25 % 1 10 page paper on anything to do with Asian politics 25% 1 Midterm 25% 1 quiz 10% and 15 attendence and stuff...

He is one of the worst Prof. I ever had. I could not stand him within the classroom or outside of it. He is very unclear about expectations and plays favorites with those who stroke his overwhelmingly large EGO enough.

Comment:

supernarcisistic!!! yep...that's all what you get from this guy.let's not talk about his grading. if you thought in finding a nurturing scholar, this is the wrong class. The content: pol.sci methods, you can take the same class with prof. Woodward (GC) who made Boudreau's original syllabus and is a better professor. he's only an unsecure copy-cat

If you ever need anything (help, advising, mentoring, just about anything) ask Boudreau for it....he's very much a hands on administrator and mentor.

Comment:

Intelligent but narcissistic; difficult and narrow point of view... it is his way or out of the way.... takes a concept and makes it even more problematic by not explaining it but making it more complex and deep.. Don't take his class!!

The last person I'd expect to be narcissistic. Anybody who doesn't do well in his class is plain lazy, but you learn alot and you learn critical skills that you will definitely need in your MA. Tough and fair.

One of the worst professors at CCNY; a condescending narcissist who lacks the basic teaching skills…horrible lecturer. Avoid at all cost. His is the main reason why I won't even consider earning my MA in International Relations at CCNY.
