Comment:

Honestly the best professor I have ever had. I always thought government and politics was boring but he actually made it super interesting! He never read off of his slides and as long as you pay attention during lecture/take good notes you will do fine on the exam. He even got the prosecutor for Selena's trial to give a speech for us!

Hes a really good professor. He spends most of his lecture talking which is fun because he just doesnt read off the slides (if that makes sense). Definitely would take a class with him again!!

Comment:

The hw quizzes might seems hard but this is how you get a 100 every time: take it with 2 other people and look for the quizlets. you get two attempts so if y'all get a few wrong go over every question before the next person submits it. Go to class and take notes, tests q's come a lot from class. He is a good guy, try and you will do good.

Comment:

The MindTaps don't seem like much, but they will make up a HUGE portion of the grade. They're very difficult to make A's on. The SI sessions aren't required, but if you can't go, your grade will reflect that. My test grades took a 10pt hit between exam 1 and 2, then another 8pt drop between 2 and 3. This class was unneccesarily difficult. Avoid it.

Comment:

Mindtap is required for this course, and a chapter is due about every week. If you want a decent grade, you HAVE to attend lectures! The exams have many in class examples. The exams arent too bad & you get to use a page of notes. In my opinion, he made lectures as interesting as they could be. The class itself is boring but he tried his best.

Comment:

be prepared to want to fall asleep every class. i would suggest bringing a monster or maybe some adderall because his lectures are so boring but everything he says is on the test. tests are barely about the readings but the mindtaps are so you have to read them (or quizlet) basically try not to die

Comment:

Even though he loves to brag about the textbook "he wrote" (has a small part in it) he hardly even tests you over textbook material, instead every-other question on his exams are "as we discussed in class..". To make matters worse you can hardly even stay awake in his lectures. Would rather watch the synchronized swimming for four hours then show

Recommend this professor. Uses in class examples on his exams, so attendance is usually necessary if you want to make a good grade. Tests are extremely easy if you pay attention in class, allows one full page of notes front and back, for each exam. HW is once a week, extremely easy. No reason to not get a A or B.

Great professor who really cares about his students and their success. Very knowledgeable on the subject and brings in real world examples into his lectures all the time. He tends to add questions on the tests that he discussed in lecture so even tough attendance is optional, make sure you always show up. Simple grading system: 900 points A 800B

If youre not good with politics and how the government works, pay extra attention in his lectures and take notes! Never stop reading or you wont understand it either.

His class was difficult, and a lot of assignments, but he makes it easy as much as he can. Also, one more thing, while taking his class I was late to final exam like 35 minutes, and he still let me to take the final exam

He doesn't take attendance, but he says things during lecture that are put on the exams. 8x11 sheet of paper allowed for exams. Be sure to do the Mindtaps, or you will not pass.

This class will for sure make sure you work for your grade you should for sure attend class because a lot of his lectures cover what will be on the test. His test correlate with his lectures and some what the book but make sure you know you definitions as well he does not give out extra credit and kinda rude in his office hours

He was one of the best professors I ever take. However, you really need to study, attendance is not mandatory but you should attend for extra credits. One more thing, I was late final exam 40 minutes late, and I told I fall asleep while I was studying for his class, and he understood that and gave me extra time to finish the final

Attendance is not mandatory, but does put questions on the test that pertain to examples we discuss during class. Has one reaction paper, but it's an easy 50 points if you answer all the prompts and tie it to the Interest Groups chapter. Funny and nice. Would take again and recommend.

Comment:

Dr. Huerta may seem a little odd or tough at the beginning, but he really does work hard to relate the boring material to our lives. His tests are heavily related on his lecture, so I would recommend going to SI. The best part of his class is he allows a full sheet (front and back) of notes for his tests.

This professor had non mandatory lectures, a reasonable amount of homework, and clear tests. I only did my homework and did not do ANY extra studying, and had an A the entire year.
