Dr. Bailey is a very nice guy especially when you get to talk to him out of class. If you ask a question, he will answer it and try to get the class involved. In our class, we talked about many things that made the whole class talk with one another. His tests are somewhat easy. forget about the notes you wrote in class. Print all the powerpoints on

Dr. Baily was one of the best teachers ive had since starting school. He knows everything about the subject and actually tests you on what he teaches. Take his class and attend regularly and you will receive an A.

I'm going to say that he is an amazing professor. He will crack you up but beware of one of his famous line....take his class and see what question he ask all the time. Overall he is a great professor. I think going to his class is worth it, even if the notes are online

This was an easy class.. Lectures are online and test pretty much come strait from the powerpoint i would recomend him. He trys to get the class involved he gives quizzes but they are out of the yellow book so you can use ur book and do them before class... I would def take him again

one time in class i kept a tally of how many times he said, "does that make sense?" and at the end of class it was 27. good teacher tho

Dr. Baily is extremely helpful and makes the class interesting. He actually cares what the students think, which puts him above most professors i have had

This teacher held my attention every day in class. He is extremely helpful if you ever need to talk to him outside of class. Also he really does seem to care about making sure his students understand the material so don't ever be afraid to ask a question. Everything he goes over is online so you don't have to take notes in class, just listen.

The class was very interesting. Dr. Baily loves to get everyone involved in lecture, which is cool. His notes are online so you can focus on just listening in class. Quizzes are very easy, they all come from your workbook. Tests are pretty easy and mostly come from your online notes. Great teacher, loves what he does and is very knowledgeable!

He is a smart teacher. He gives very thorough notes, but i advise you to attend class every day. He assigns group work that is mandatory, quizzes that cant be taken if your absent, dnt give him a lame excuse for not being there he wont accept it. Review assignments are for your own benefit do them,understand them pass the test. He is helpful

He really knows what he is talking about, and tries to get the class involved. However, I am not a fan of politics and class was not only boring but he went until after class was over. I never expected to get a B in this class, and I hardly studied for tests. You don't have to take the final unless you are unhappy with your grade.

He really lost me to boredom every class period even with note taking. The exams were pretty hard. The only thing i semi-enjoyed was the Camelot Simulation

I took him for Summer I and it was a fairly easy class. I would recommend taking him if you pay attention in class, it is almost impossible to fail if you actually listen and read the power points!

I recommend this teacher. He is extremely boring but he knows what he's talking about and likes hearing feedback from students. He never uses the book, just lectures from slides. You could pass the class without ever coming. This class was very easy and I took him for HONORS! Want and easy government class with a nice, but boring teacher, take him!

Very boring class. Not too hard, but studying is almost required to get a good grade.

i liked him. i thought he was clear, his tests weren't that hard and he did what he could to help.

i didnt find him boring at all... maby the subject is boring but not him... he is hot in that geeky way... i loved him! very sweet and understanding if you miss an assignment. i would take him over and over again!

He is highly in love with this topic and can sometimes speak on a totally different level than you but he is a good professor. Go to class. Study. Pay attention to what he points out in class.

He class can be very boring at times. He does tend to go off on a tangent very often. IF you study over the slideshows and do the review (reading the book is not necessary) and study the workbook, then you will do fine in this class. Also, don't be afraid to talk in his class. He likes it when you participate in discussions.

Very easy class & if you do the review and study the slides and workbook chapters then you should do well on the test. Only critique is that he talks waaaaaaay too much...even when class is over he's still teaching! lol he's cute though. ;)

He's understanding, engaging, and interesting.... Makes political science less boring. Easy A!

Loved this class, wish I could take him again.

Great class! Baily is and amazing teacher. Fairly heavy reading required. Take-home essay exams.

He talked a lot, but other than that he is a great teacher!

He talks a lot but he is a really good teacher. The test are straight from the powerpoints and he posts the powerpoints online so attendance is not a requirement. normally, attendance is extra credit. the review helps a lot and he always puts easy bonus questions on the test. he is very interested in the subject and He is a great teacher overall!

He knows what hes talking about but is kinda boring. He can be kinda funny when he wants to, too. and all his tests are straight from the powerpoints. I never used my textbook but you do need the workbook because he picks up the quizzes, but he posts the answer keys online ahead of time so you could do them before class. Overall good professor!

He definitely knows what he is talking about. He is interesting and his tests aren't that hard if you do the reviews. The SI leader is great too so SIs help. He also gives out an extra credit assignment at the end of the semester. I rarely used the textbook, only for definitions. Powerpoint slides are enough to study. I would take him again.

Just do the exam reviews and workbook quizes

I absolutely love his class. He's super laid back but he definitely knows what he's talking about. I've been extremely impressed with the quality of his lectures. And it doesn't hurt that he's kinda hot haha! He doesn't care if you text or do homework during class, and I've never seen him take attendance. I highly recommend him, love his class.

We only had 3 exams and the final exam was optional, but you must study for them. Also, go to the SI. You also had to do the quizzes in the workbook you need for class.

Dr. Baily is very knowledgeable. I took him for 141 and have taken several upper levels with him. He is very helpful. His 141 tests are multiple choice, but his upper levels are all papers (no official tests)which I like better. He notices who attends. I have learned a lot from him! Great for people interested in philosophy, history, &/or poli sci!

For me personally the class was boring. I just don't like politics, but if you enjoy politics than you'll enjoy his take on things. Test were a little tough but if you put in time to study and do the review you will pass. Also final examine is optional! So you have to make sure you keep up with your grades

I feel beyond lucky to have gotten Dr. Bailey as my professor for poli sci. Though some call his lectures tangents, to me they're helpful and engaging. Unlike many psc profs at SFA, I can't tell what political party he's associated with. He's a very logical thinker and has great intentions as an educator. Tests are easy if you do the review.

Great professor! lectures are a bit boring, but it's gov. No assignments, only graded test reviews as well as tests and then one final group project. The project is simple, and he grades very fairly. Definitely take his class if you can, minimally stressful!

Professor Baily is a good professor. He loves what he's doing. The lectures can get a little bit boring for those who don't like government, but he knows how to explain things. I personally found the textbook very helpful because if I miss things in class, I can find them there. He also has extra credit assignments and his exams are MCQ + bonus.

Despite the other criticisms on here, Professor Baily is amazing at his job so long as you are actually willing to engage with the topics he is discussing. Many students that complain about class being hard are on their phones during the entire lecture, if they've even bothered to show up. Put forth some basic effort and this class is an easy A.

I showed up 90% of the time and didn't have the textbook. Do the exam reviews since they are a grade and they do help you out. There are three exams and an optional final. The final doesn't hurt you if it's your lowest exam score. He super accommodating as long as you communicate with him. He's super chill. Show up and take notes and you'll be fine

This was a pretty easy online class. Grade consisted of 3 exams and 3 discussion posts, this class is mostly just teaching yourself the material. There is a textbook but I never used it and just looked up the material online. Easy class as long as you learn the information for the exams.

Very straightforward with clear expectations. Nice variety regarding content in discussion prompts. I have learned a lot in this class through use of both the modules and the text. I recommend taking good notes throughout the weekly modules, as this really helps for retaining the information and prepares you well for the tests.
