Comment:

dr. taylor is awesome! we joke around with him a lot in class. you have to attend class to get the notes necessary for the tests. his tests are easy, but only if you study for them. don't plan on reading the textbook, but maybe skimming the chapters for the vocabulary terms. everything you need is discussed in class.

Comment:

Very engaging instructor. Pretty funny and makes use of his personal experience to tie in with concepts presented. Really don't need the textbook as most of what you will need for tests are covered in class. I've been to a few Universities and he is up there as far as I am concerned. Only knock - info is disseminated in a rudimentary fashion.

Comment:

World Politics was an interesting class, and Taylor is a very personable professor. If you keep up with attendance, you won't have much need for the textbook. Tests are quite simple if you spend some time studying. I was able to sail through with a high A by spending an hour or two studying for each of the 3 tests.

Comment:

When I asked him for help clarifying something he said in class he responded that it wasnt his place to do my homework. His tests are multiple choice but he writes the questions to /try/ and trip you up. He will test on information not given in class. He was a nice guy but one of the most unhelpful teachers I have had up to this point

Not as funny as he thinks he is. Wastes lots of time speaking about how great his knowledge is in this and that. Kinda booring to stay awake in.

Highly recommend this teacher. He is witty and engaging. Funny too! You must show up to lecture though, that is where all the material is covered. Lecture can be a bit dry at times, but he always lightens the mood.

One of the better professors at UHH. He made many of the political science courses interesting because he gives examples from his life experience as an Air Force officer, etc.
