Comment:

This was my first 8 am class and I would say worth. This man will help you out with any question and even slip in a few answers here and there. If you help him out, he offers extra credit! Although lectures can be dry, very nice man and reasonable amount of work to do for this class. Two papers, mid term, and final! Show up to get points!

Comment:

Poli sci is an utterly useless subject to my major (biology), therefore, what would be the point in me taking this class to challenge myself? Okay so if you're like me, then take him bc you will learn nothing and get an A for it! It's simply amazing. But if you're actually taking poli sci to learn, then his class isn't for you.

Comment:

The class was honestly dreadful to sit through but if you just need the credit like I did it's not too demanding. He literally gives you all the answers to the midterm and final which makes it impossible to do poorly on. You do have to come to every class to earn the 100 participation points, otherwise you have to write another 10-page paper.

Comment:

if you're actually into this subject, then I suggest you don't take his class. Honestly, half of his reviews aren't here aren't even accurate. He does however go off numerous tangents, you dont learn a thing unless hes angry about something. also he does give you the answers, but he isnt clear on them and goes off tangents while he gives them out.

Comment:

When you're in class, it's really hard to shape your head around the fact that it's real life. The class comprises of him telling old college stories and going on tangents about whatever upsets him that day. Grades by just looking to see that you did something and gives u an A. Also spends the last 2 weeks before a test giving you answers. 12/10.

Comment:

If you actually want to learn, DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS. He tells stories for the most part, and covers very little material in class. You're better off reading the book. The class itself if an easy A, but he doesn't even grade his own tests which is unfair to the students. Will call you out for coming in late, but will waste your time with stories.

Comment:

Attendance is basically absolutely mandatory but aside from that, class is a breeze. Zero homework, he gives you the answers to the midterm & final, and grades VERY easily on the two papers you're assigned. Downside is his class can be boring and his lectures are often tangents but it's bearable if you want an easy A.

Comment:

Yes he does go off on tangents but if you listen to him and his test review you should easily be able to ace it. If you attend class and actually participate in discussion, the class is very engaging and you'll actually learn something. He is a nice man and a straight forward grader so if you do all your work you'll get an a.

Comment:

An easy professor. If you want to stack up on points then you should be an activist (talks/asks questions a lot in class), a techie (someone who's good with computers to help the old dude out), or one of those people who take attendance every time there's class. He does go on a tangent most of the time but at least he gives you answers to tests.

He only really cares about his own opinion and will talk non-stop. Also you either have to ask lots of questions in class or write a 7 page single spaced paper as part of the final

Comment:

He is a good teacher. His class is easy, and there aren't a lot of points that go into it. Not much homework, except for a couple really long essays. Did not open the textbook even one time. Tests are easy; he gives VERY good reviews leading into them. Pretty much every class is lecture from beginning to end. There can't be an easier PS1 class!

Very lenient with grades. He really loves teaching about issues that are happening now, very interesting professor and jokes around a lot. There's no reason why you shouldn't get at least a B in his class.
