Mr. Davis is very funny! No book for this class so it will save you $$. He puts all his notes online and test comes striaght from the notes. Daily velcros are due every week but its not too bad, just follow his instructions and he will give you credit for it. You are not require to take the final if you are satified with all your overall test grade

Comment:

davis was pretty awesome. hes really sarcastic, makes innapropriate comments sometimes, but hes ALWAYS funny & crazy. his test were REALLY easy, just as long as you studied the focus sheets that he gives you for the test online. you do have velcros due every week, which kinda sucked, but i'd have to say this class was pretty easy and i laughed alot

Comment:

I frankly thought he was super funny and not too difficult to handle. He is strange but sarcastic which is fun to listen to. The only bad thing is that you have "velcros" aka current events due every week, which is a bit of an inconvience, but if you forget he allows you to email them to him. No text book, so it saves $!

Mr. Davis is pretty cool. You dont have to buy the book which is nice! And it's so easy that all his notes are online. And he has review sheets on there to which are exactly like the test. If you just read them you should be good. DO THE VELCROS! They help in the end! He is HILARIOUS! but VERY LIBERAL! so if you're easily offended dont take Davis!

Mr. Davis is awesome. No book to buy (I love saving money, :) all his notes are online, just grab them and go. All the quizzes and tests come straight from the notes, so no beating around the bush. You can tell he picked government for a reason, and he's actually pretty fun to listen to. If you do the work, easy A

Comment:

If you go to class, and keep up with the assignments, then you'll do fine. I know a lot of people who never went, and just studied the focus that is given for tests, and still managed to make a B. It was a good class, he's a very funny, but weird man.

It is this simple: keep up with the weekly assignments (not hard) and study the focus sheets he supplies for the tests. No book is required - all his required reading is downloaded from his TCC site.

Good teacher. Weird but nice. Likes you if you are interested. He is a "moderate" Democrat. If you are a Republican, please argue with him. Over all I liked him and took other classes that he taught.

Comment:

I love Davis. He's really funny, some people tends to take all his point of views too seriously. I think he's one of the few teachers who aren't afraid to speak their minds about their views on politics. Sure, I don't agree with some of his stuff, but he's funny and really easy. Take his class!!!
