Comment:
Baughman is the open secret of Bates. Here's what you need to get an A: 1) Attend classes, 2) Have a pulse. He's a very easy grader and the class just isn't that hard. He's perfectly nice and willing to help you out if you need. He's probably more engaging when teaching his area of research. But if you want to chill for a semester, sign up.

Baughman is awesome. I've had three classes with him and I learned a lot in each of them...PLUS he's really funny and will always take some time to show his classes his newest favorite youtube video. Definitely a professor to take a class with at Bates, especially if you're interested in politics.

Took Congress with him. It was pretty good. He's definitely knowledgeable and a good dude. Seems like a geek at heart. Also took Political Inquiry aka PoliPrison, was easily the best lecturer.

Comment:
I strongly disliked his class. It was super expensive ($40 textbooks for one or two classes). It was confusing and seemed to have no relation to the real world. I know less about political participation in the US now after taking this class, than I did before. But now I know a bunch of useless models of voter turnout.

Not hard at all. You really don't have to do any readings but you still learn a lot because his class lectures are very encompassing. A bit on the dry side, but very nice and tries to be funny all the time. He puts the Science in Political Science.
