This professor doesn't require any homework assignments all quizzes and tests are your only grades. His questions on exams are situation based questions and requires a lot of studying. His discussion board is never used.

Very difficult class. Well, that material isn't difficult the the professor is. I took this class online half-semester. This professor is not helpful at all and can be quite rude if you ask him a question. He gives very little guidance. I would not recommend this professor.

Good guy, rough class! No hmwk,only tests,quizzes that give you about 1 min per question.Took half semester course online, way 2 much much material 4 half semester course!Hardest class I have taken! It was beyond challenging,no way I would let it affect my GPA so I dropped it. If it's your only class, you'll do well. Maybe only take it on campus...

Comment:

This class is very hard and taking it online you pretty much have to teach the material to yourself. The tests are timed and very hard However, he seemed to be a fair grader and he also offered extra credit opportunities. I ended up with a good grade in the class.

I took this class online during the summer half-semester. Really fast paced so you need to start reading and get ahead A.S.A.P the material is not that hard. 4 tests 4 quizzes 1 extra credit paper, also does Q&A for extra points. 80 - 100 min test and 10 min quiz's.Don't need the book I used the powerpoints.

This was an online class. I didn't have many questions for him, but I do recall there being some rudeness from him. I don't care about stuff like that though. There were extra credit opportunities. I made a B. I think I mostly used his notes to study. You don't have much time to complete the test, a little less than a 1 min per question. Spr 11

The class is easy, but he is not! Every time I asked him a question, he was downright rude and condescending. Don't take his classes if you are looking for a pleasant professor.

Comment:

This class requires a lot of reading, if you have the time to read this class won?t be so bad. I kept thinking he was the worst professor based off previous post. It is up to you if you pass or fail. He has a syllabus that he follows to the point and he lives by it. If you ask him a question and he has it in his syllabus I won?t call him mean o

Not helpful at all!!! Only quizzes and tests no hw...so there is no way for you to bring up your grade. The tests are very long 80+ questions and are timed. 10 questions for quizzes only ten minutes to finish the quizzes. For tests you get about 1.5 hrs. I will not take him again!!!

4 quizzes and 4 tests 1 extra credit paper. No hw. No questions. He grades on a points system. If you fail the quizzes or tests your going to fail the class. No way to bring up your grade at all. He isn't very helpful. I wouldn't take him again.

I took him online for Macro and he was not helpful at all. He is mean and condescending. He act as though he doesn't want people to ask questions and he really gets upset if you correct him when he's wrong. I wouldn't recommend anyone to take his class. In my opinion he should be forced to take an early retirement because he sucks!

Class was not hard but a little bit time consuming - average studing-not overbearing. I say take him- No essay papers but be ready for quizzes 80question to90min. It's definately doable. Not hard/reading a must/No essay/ No discussion post. A remote teacher

Before I took this class online this summer, I came here to read reviews, and really, people, he's not THAT bad! Lol ...don't get me wrong, it's not like I love poli sci. I hate it cuz it's boring, but he's very fair, covers material thoroughly, and will help if you ask. It's easy to get an A as long as you read his notes! And don't buy the book!

Comment:

He is not helpful and he is mean. You get a week to read 3-4 chapters of about 40 pages each and have to then test. The test would have been esy if it was not an 80 question test with 90 minutes to answer. The clock will always expire. He doesn't understand that that is just way too much info to absorb in littele time. Another thing is that the tes
