Comment:
It's not that this class is hard. There is a lot of reading and a quiz every class period over the readings. But his particular teaching style just isn't for me. You learn 95% from the book. His lectures are alright but i don't feel like I actually learn from them. You basically teach yourself the whole time & that's just not what I wanted.

Comment:
This class was basically a statistics course and is taught like a math class. If you dislike or are bad with math then you probably will struggle, and will have to work for your grade no matter what. Quizzes everyday if your class doesn't read. Yawn is amazing though no-nonsense, professional, and IMO a great professor.

Comment:
This class is focus on watching films, taking quizzes, and a few discussions. As long as you watch the movies and read the reading he provides you should do fine and be able to pass easily. Do not be afraid to ask any question, professor Yawn is truly there to help you be successful.

Professor Yawn is an amazing teacher but beware of mass amounts of reading. The daily quizzes can make or break you, if you don't read, you will fail. Be sure to come to class everyday because 99% of the time, there will be a quiz.

He makes his class very interesting and he uses the students in his examples to help you really understand what he's talking about. Make sure you read because you'll have a quiz almost every class and he calls people out at random to answer the questions aloud.

Extremely nice! Helps those who take education seriously. He takes his job seriously and is strict with class room behavior. No electronics allowed! He takes points off he even sees you reaching to check the time on your phone. You do need a lot of books for texas politics, and does quizzes on the chapters. BUT they are super easy!

Not a difficult class, but a lot of day-to-day work. It's not that there's more reading than other classes, but you do have to read. Quizzes over each reading assignment and three books. Good lectures and fair tests.

I've taken about seven classes from this professor. He genuinely cares about his students. Just don't skip class because he gives quizzes everyday (they are easy if you read). He usually has his own textbook created (a series of readings bound together) that isn't too pricey. Overall, he is a great professor who makes learning interesting.

Comment:
This professor is easy in the sense that if you do the readings you will pass. No homework except for readings. Almost every class period has a quiz over the readings which cannot be made up. The exams are straight from the readings, so read. Being called out in front out the class may occur for phone use, tardiness and not paying attention.
