Comment:

You will never know what is on the test. Teaches very casual and he does not reply to emails about appointments. He is the first person to leave the class. If you miss class you are out of luck. He does not teach from the text book. Knows what he is talking about but explains it as if its review. I would not recommend him.

Comment:

He is very knowledgeable about his class. in my case classes were from 6p-1030 which he will be teaching every minute, it is great bc we covered everything we were supposed too, however too intense at times. Overall I would take his class again bc even thou they are long he knows what he is talking about and can explain it in easy terms.

I took Mr. Carrico a couple years ago and I did quite well. We never used the book but if you take good notes, then you should get an A or a B.

Comment:

Ditto on the last comment. Took him for a summer class at Perimeter. He blows away all my profs at UGA. Without his intro class I could've never aced Constitutional Law up here. Nothing against GPC, but he's totally wasting his talent there. Wish he was at Athens so I could take a couple more of his courses before I graduate.

Comment:

Like having Jon Stewart for a prof... hilarious but dead-on brilliant. Changed my major from English to PolySci becasuse of his class. He will mess with your head to make you think. Work load is fairly easy (2 essays), BUT you need to come to class regularly if you want to ace one of his tests.

Comment:

Mr. Carrico, did not have time for his students, if you missed a lecture you may as well not come back to class because you will be totally lost. He reccomends you get the book and none of his lectures pertain to the book. Very difficult instructor.

Just come to class to take notes on his lectures. Tests are multiple choices. His class is not very hard, you can make an easy A if you study the notes. No need to buy book. Two researcj papers.

To be professor Carrico's student one has to be extremely attentive in class, missing the class is like failing the next quiz. Dont waste money on the text book. His lectures are easy to understand.

I don't know if he'll be teaching at GPC or not next fall,if that's the case take Mr. Slider (A+). Anyway,Mr. Carrico is a great teacher to learn everything you need to know about politics. Class is not hard; 4 test+final (with lowest grade dropped-all multiple choice)Easy A or B!-Come to class

Kooky, yes, conspiricy oriented too, but highly entertaining and informed (the "strait" stuffs in there too).I wish more teachers at this school were like him, he's better than television any day.

Comment:

Very opinionated.Always the last to arrive and the first to leave.Had little contact with students.He talked AT us.Took his class during the elections so the class should have been interesting but it wasn't. He should stick to the facts. Very intelligent but conspiracy oriented. Kinda Kookie

Comment:

Are you kidding me? His tests are the lectures because all the questions come directly from what he talks about and writes on the board. There's no need to even buy a book for this class. There is no attendance policy, but it pays to come to class everyday because you'll miss alot. Great teacher!

Don't let people fool you! He's the type of professor that goes on and on and on!!! You never know what is on the quizzes because he doesn't give you any study sheets or make it clear whats on the test. Unless you like the subject,may God be with you!!!

Comment:

I was bracing myself for a dull semester â€" SO not the case. He comes in cranked on 32 oz of caffeine rearing to go, and go he does. I wish he taught a Constitutional law class here. I’m officially a groupie! GPC needs more teachers like this.
