I really enjoyed his class! I was excited to take another of his classes next semester. It is deeply saddening that he passed away. The school lost one of their best political science professors.

He was an amazing teacher, really funny guy, his lectures were enjoyable, he was pretty straight forward and his tests were fairly easy if you studied I would take his class again but sadly he is gone. May he rest in peace ive never met someone as passionate about politics then him you will be missed William Julius.

Comment:

The lecture was all talk, no powerpoints which means you really have to follow along. out of the 3 "mandatory books", i read half of two of them and didnt crack open on of them. He's very kind and responds to emails super quick. A midterm, final, and 5-8 page election analysis paper. Tests are 25 short answers and two essays so major hand cramp

Two tests (midterm and final) and one major paper. Pay attention during lectures, a lot of it is on his tests. He also tends to pick on people to participate.

I'm glad I took this class! He doesn't use powerpoint when he lectures so I recommend buying a compostion book or using a laptop. Be sure to take good notes and don't be afraid to ask him questions. Don't buy any of the textbooks. His tests are based on the notes. Midterm & the final are both 25 short answer questions and 2 essays & a policy paper.

Great Class! Very straight forward. Some pressure because there are only four assignments the whole semester. I have lots of respect for Dr Julius and would take another class of his if I could. Textbooks not needed if you pay attention in class and participate here and there.

Comment:

Simple and straightforward class! No hw. Straight lectures no ppt so I suggest recording his lectures/using a laptop to take notes. The class consisted of 1 exam, final (both are 25 short answer questions) and a paper. Try to participate as much as you can and go to his office hours if you need clarification on anything - he is there to help you!

Comment:

Didn't read the textbook. Just take good notes and do the study guide and you should be fine. He's a funny guy and I learned a bit from his class but probably wouldn't take him again because he's awa bit rude to some and clearly favors others - the whole semester. Didn't ask many questions because of this. As on both exams. B+ on paper. take him

Go to class, focus, and take good notes. He uses no power points so make sure to listen carefully to his lectures. Ask questions if you need to clarify your notes, he likes that. Midterm and Final are really straight forward therefore do the study guide which is very helpful. There is one policy making paper due, overall great professor.

EASY CLASS! Going to lecture is important but just showing up and paying attention is really enough. Tests are straight from the study guide, nothing extra. If you ever have questions or wanna talk politics, he's always down. Easy A if you're not stupid and can memorize things easily

Comment:

You have 2 exams, both of which are written (short answer and essay questions). Lecture heavy class and you really have to be there to understand certain concepts, but he makes sure that everyone is on the same page. In this class you won't be embarrassed to ask questions because he'll never make it seem like any question is dumb. I recommend him.

1 Midterm with 25 short answer questions and 2 essays in one class period, 1 Final with 25 short answer questions and 2 essays in 2 hours, and 1 Policy Making Paper. Participate! Ask him to repeat something again if you missed something from previous lectures, he will take time to answer them. Seriously go to SI! Christian really knows his stuff.

There is one midterm, one policy making paper, and one final. You need to do good in all of these. No extra credit. You don't need the book. Be in class and take really notes of his lecture because there is no PPT however he does give study guides and everything is on the study guide so memorize it. Midterm and final is 25 short answer and 2 essay

He is a great professor. His lectures are straight forward and if you missed something he said, ask him and he will be happy to go over it again. Definitely ask questions during class to earn brownies. And Definitely go to SI to ace your exam.

2 exams, 1 paper, no EC. He's straight forward with what he expects and SI is provided to help you with anything you have questions with. Easy class if you study and address what he wants for the paper. He doesn't mind repeating ANYTHING 100x if you need it.

Two exams Midterm and Final. First half of the test is fill in the blank; key terms, 1 or 2 sentences, second half two essay questions that are pretty easy if you do the reading and or study the STUDY GUIDE he gives you. Attendance is mandatory he randomly takes role and they are worth points. One paper with 5 pages of content. TAKE SI FOR AN A

If you're lazy like myself, go to SI. It really helps u understand the concepts better. There is 1 midterm, 1 paper, and the final. Pretty straightforward class, graded highest on all three. no homework, except you'll want to read the book. prepare to work your tail off in the end. I procrastinated in this class and I got a B-.

His recommendation is top read the book and I support that recommendation. He does not use powerpint so basically you have to hear carefully and take notes as he goes. His test are somehow tough but there is a lot of help

Comment:

He takes attendance even though it's a 200 student lecture, which takes up about a quarter of the class time. He says you need to participate but as long as you go to every class your participation grade is good. Tests are pretty straightforward as long as you take good notes and study everything.
