Comment:

Everyone saying that he assigns too much reading has no business being in college. Especially being a Political Science/other liberal arts major. If you can't handle a maximum 20 pages of reading per case (and that's the high end, not the average), then you need to drop out. Dude's classes are super reasonable & fantastic. I got an A with no effort

Comment:

He clearly loves teaching con law, however the reading is heavy and the readings were essential to participating in class. Overall I liked him as a person but it was one of the hardest classes I've ever taken.

Dr. ignagni was hands down the best professor I have ever taken. he is so passionate about teaching and explains everything in such great detail that as long as you just take notes, you really should have no problem getting an A in his class

Comment:

The professor was great and the class was interesting, but I would not recommend his class if you have... um, a life. Between work, responsibilities, and other classes, his class was just unrealistic as far as readings go. Not to mention the process of studying and memorizing all those cases. I would take him again though just to redeem myself.

Comment:

ALL exam questions are a mix of what he says in lecture and from the textbooks. Show up to class, take REALLY good notes, and read the textbook and you should be fine honestly. His grading system is a bit odd but his final exam at the end of the year is NOT comprehensive so that's good. Overall, I would definitely take him again if I could!!

Professor Ignagni is the best professor I have taken in the 3 years I have been at UTA. He is so passionate about POLS and makes you want to be passionate too. I almost considered changing my major because he made it sound so interesting. Exams are straightforward: 100 questions split between exams and depending how many right, thats your grade.

Best professor in the political science department and quite possibly UTA. Took him for Judicial Process, Jurisprudence, and am signed up for Constitutional Law. He's fantastic and you won't regret it. Everyone regardless of major should take this man's classes!

Comment:

One of the best professors ever! His lectures are super entertaining, and you can tell this man LOVES his job. He's very passionate! I didn't score too well on his first 2 exams, so I met with him at his office hours and spent an hour with his man. I scored an A after that. He gave AMAZING advice that I still use semesters later. 10/10 recommend.

If you attend his class, he makes sure 80% of his 100 MCQs (which make up 100% of class grade, 1 point each) are from his lectures. His lectures are very interesting. 90 is supposed to be an A and I ended up with 85 points total but this guy gave me an A.. He made my day OMG!!!

He was an amazing teacher, and I would highly highly highly suggest taking him if you have the option. I never really read to book and barely got an A. Just really listen to his lectures which is easy I think cause they are really interesting. He is also very funny and understanding, overall great man, and great teacher!

He keeps his lectures interesting and you MUST go to class to pass because lecture is about 75% of what you are tested on. If you want to make an A you have to do the readings. His tests are 80% easy questions and then the rest are a little more tricky. He is a great professor and you can tell he truly loves teaching.

Professor Ignagni is honestly so amazing. He can also tell a joke! He's hilarious!! He has 1 quiz, 5 ques/2 exams, 25 ques. & 35 ques & a final exam that's 35 ques. Total 100 ques. Your average is how ever many you get correct out of 100. It's a easy class if you take great notes and study. He's honestly the best polysci proffesor, hands down!

Attendance is mandatory! There are three exams and one quiz and most of his questions come from his lectures so be thorough with your note taking! He is knowledgeable on the subject and breaks it down to a level you can understand while being humorous. Overall, your grade reflects your effort in this class.

Amazing professor with entertaining lectures! Your whole grade is based on 100 questions he asks through the semester. One 5 question quiz, one 25 question exam, one 35 question exam, and a 35 question final. Each question is 1 percent of your final grade. Most of the questions he asks are straight from lectures and his lectures have no powerpoints

He is SUPER funny! He knows his stuff. He doesn't use power points, everything is by lecture. You could skip class but I do not recommend it. The textbook will be needed but only to study for the test other than that he doesn't assign homework from them.
