Very lively prof, clear, willing to answer questions, hw not hard.

I am about halfway through this class and it's easy until the tests. Hardly any hw the whole semester, but the tests ask in depth questions that require a lot of reading time because each chapter is so long. He study guides take a long time to fill out. She is not bad but I reccomend looking for an easier teacher, if not she is not 2 bad.

Take any class you can with her - you will learn alot and it is fun and interesting

Dr. J is great. My advice?? READ READ READ READ!!! write down everything she writes on the board... do the study guides and you should do well on the test. It can be hard at times but pay attention and getting an A is not impossible

She was tough, but fair. I worked extremely hard for a high B, felt I deserved an A, but she wouldn't budge. Attendance not mandatory to a point. I would not recommend working FT and taking her class. You have to put a lot into it.

Prof. Jeydel makes class interesting. I like the book she chose also, although I have talked with many students and we've all agreed the tests have little to nothing to do with the text. She teaches per her notes. She doesn't really take attendance, but if you miss those notes you will do badly on the tests. Fair teacher, fun, good sense of humor.

Awesome Teacher, goes out of her to make sure you understand, always has a Beacon Tutor, very good for Poli Sci 301 and 302.

Jeydel is a great teacher. She really grabs your interests about politics and she's really interested in what you're involved in. Especially with the 2008 election. Sometimes she lets the class veer off topic but she usually gets it back. MAKE SURE YOU GO TO THE CLASSES THOUGH! Or get a study buddy. You miss so much if you miss one day.

Great teacher, but doesn't let you get away with not studying - tests can be tough. I attended the beacon tutor group and found that the studying I did at the group was sufficient for me to pass the tests. Highly recommend the beacon tutor! Made politics interesting to me. Just read the book, attend class and go to the group. You'll do well :)

must read the chps to do well on the tests. jeydel is a great teacher and willing to help if you make the effort. she does test right off of her notes from class and the book so be prepared

This professor is really good. if you like politics take her class, she is kind of hard, but interesting and fun. I learned a lot of interesting things about politics in her class. you can get an "A", its not an easy one, but really possible. just take notes and read book. Jeydel is COOL!!!!

creative teacher. gives you the tools you need in order to succeed. read text book and you will get an A on tests

Dr. Jeydel is a no BS teacher. Lecture notes are useless. Read ALL the assigned chapters and you WILL do well. Her tests are all M/C, and true/false. Final is a take home essay! Got an A, but a challenging course. Can't sleep, must pay attention.

Tries to make the students feel like idiots , she cant stand it if you prove a point and she is wrong..she needs to get over herself and quit throwing her degree around it really show insecurity in what you do.

I don't know what the other people here are talking about, but I really enjoyed her class. Her tests are hard but they aren't a huge part of the grade anyway. She is a very smart person and is, in my opinion, very good at keeping her own views out of lectures. By the end of the semester the class didn't even know which party she was a member of.

Miss Jeydel is a nice teacher, she just expects you to be an attentive student. Tests are somewhat difficult, you actually have to take time to study. She is really understanding though if you talk to her outside of class, most of the points come from the Congressional Simulation, so make sure to actually do all of those assignments!

There should be no surprises if your read the syllabus. everything is outlined there and she is not going announce everything. when writing the paper follow the questions in the syllabus. the material is not that hard to understand if you actually do the work and study for the test. she has no problem helping you outside of class

Good teacher. Very interested in the subject. If you read the material and go to class you will do fine. Gives good lecture notes, overall and interesting course.

She follows the textbook like a map. If you keep up with each chapter and participate in class your bond to do well. It's an easy class if you do the work. She is a fun energetic teacher, discussions in class are interesting. She is totally nuts in the best way possible

hard teacher! on the plus side, she is very clear in lecture and u can tell that she knows what she's talking about. lectures are for the most part interesting, and when they are not she usually knows before hand and is thus a little more understanding. HOWEVER, she is just way 2 hard, take it else if u don't want to do a bunch of work

Dr. Jeydel is AWESOME. I guess I don't need to be here since I dropped her class (don't do 21 units with a partner living 2 hours away), but this class is totally worth it if you're interested in comparative govt (I speak for those who want to take POLS 302 only I guess). She opens great discussion and really ties everything in together nicely.

she is awesome! really knows her subject and very good at teaching it. dont talk or text during class she will call you on it. very approachable and always answers questions. tough yes, but she teaches a college level class at a college level

She is a great teacher just don't be rude to her in her classroom she shows you respect so do the same. If you plan on packing up while she is teaching that is rude and highly disrespectful she has her Doctorate in Government she is here to teach YOU she knows her stuff so be respectful!

Jeydel is great! She comes off like a hard teacher but actually she is not too difficult. No homework. Lectures are clear. One essay that isn't to difficult just be creative. If you pay attention to lectures and take notes you will do fine.

Great teacher. She knows her stuff and expects the same from you. Make sure you read the book and listen to the lectures, cos it is your test material. Tests are not that hard if you keep up with the readings study your notes. Take her if you're good in politics. PS. Do not disrespect her, don't be late to class nor be rude in class she hates that.

Great class. Dr. J is an interesting person. Totally knowledgeable on the subject of comparative politics. She can be strict at times but rightly so, she only wants you to succeed! Overall great teacher, great class.

Dr. J knows her stuff. Read the books and take notes. If the lectures sound repetitive, it's because she's trying to make a point of which you should be notating. Be respectful and don't skip class and you'll do just fine.

Brilliant women I thoroughly enjoyed her as a professor and an individual. She would always greet me outside of class if she passed by. A lot of reading and a lot of information to take in, but thats expected with this course. Pop up quizes sucked though.

Hard tests

Great teacher, very knowledgeable & passionate. 4 multiple-choice tests with study guide provided. She drops the lowest test score. There is a 4 page paper due at the beginning of the semester and a take-home essay for the final, both are a little hard. The rest of the class is lecture, but she makes it fun.

Dr. Jeydel is a very good professor. Her class is informative and she takes the time to explain anything you might be confused on. The tests are not hard if you do your reading. There are unannounced quizzes from the reading. Essays are not that hard, they just require you to put in a little time and some thought. Nothing tricky about her class.6

Dr. Jeydel is very knowledgeable and passionate about political science. She has a no nonsense approach to teaching. Attending class and king good notes and studying them is key in this course. Also she has a student participation project for the class. Be interested in and participate in this project. It has a big impact at grading time.

Dr. J expects her students to do the reading so her classes are not for the lazy. She is very clear with where you should be and where the class is headed. Her tests try to trick you but aren't to crazy, i got 70%+ on all of them with minimal studying .

If you do what your told, you'll pass no problem. She's very to the point. Doesn't take lightly to slackers, but overall I learned a lot. Also, she was very helpful if you just took the time to ask her questions.

Dr Jeydel is really funny and super engaging. Show up on time, read the text, ask questions, and just freaking listen and you will do just fine in the class

Great class, great attitude, great communication. Just wonderful in general! As long as you come to class, pay attention and do your work you will be golden!

Dr. Jeydel is an incredibly brilliant professor that uses humour to provoke serious thought into serious issues. The tests are easy if you read and come to class; she was willing to meet with me out of class as well. Plus, she is *hot*!!!

She was my favorite professor this semester.:)

Prior to taking this class I had no interest in political science. This professor changed that by giving very informative and interesting lectures. I liked the fact that her class lectures made it almost impossible to fail test. As long as you read the text and take good notes, you will pass this class and learn a lot of great information.

As I told her at her office, she's a great teacher with an awful subject. You can tell she loves it, but I don't. Politics is not something I know or love, so it was rough for me. And I'm an A student. With that said, I'd have gotten a much worse grade in anyone else's class. Plus she's brilliant and kinda cute. I enjoyed listening to her.

Dr. Jeydel is a wonderful and intelligent woman, and I really enjoyed her class. She really prepares you to transfer to a 4 year university. Her class may seem difficult to some students, but her course work is all well worth it because you really learn a lot of important information.

I would suggest choosing a different teacher for political science. She's so rude and condescending. However, she does get the material across well.

I absolutely adored professor jeydel this semester. Her lectures are long but the material is covered, she is the epitome of what a college professor should be. Stern, yet there if you ask for help. Always responds to emails. Prepares you for transfer. Highly recommended.

Only 4 tests, 1 paper, and the final to determine your grade all of which require a lot of studying and are pretty difficult to passdo well on. Wouldn't recommend this classprofessor although it is possible to pass and helps if you talk to the professor and do a lot of reading.

Political Science is a SCIENCE - and was taught as one in this class. It was a foreign language to me, so I had to study hard. Do not take for an easy A or if you have a thin skin. Teacher is interesting, fun, funny, and has access to great books, links and videos - but she makes you work for your grade. Learned a lot -would take again.

Dr. Jeydel is a tough grader on any writing assignments. I took her in the summer and the tests are not that difficult as long as you use the book, and a little bit of the notes. She will accept as many people as but wont pass the persons capacity.

Dr. J is a wonderful professor. She knows her stuff and is easy to approach. This is my major and she helped me a great deal with finding a 4 year to transfer to which was awesome! 5 tests drops 1 then a final which is an essay you have a few weeks to write and bring in also a couple group things in class and one essay not to bad but read the book.

Dr. Jeydel is an amazing professor! She is really passionate about Political Science and is sometimes blunt about the things that are happened/have happened, but she really stresses the importance of it. 4 tests (but drops the lowest score) and 1 essay to determine your grade in the class. You need to read the book. Very interesting class!

Deep knowledge of subject and great way of breaking it down. Lots of reading, but if you keep up there, you'll do well. Very straightforward, normal for an east coaster ;) Wants to see you succeed. Would happily take again. Warning, tests were only grade for summer. Final paper. Tough to stay ahead. Learn a lot if you stick with it.

I loved her! I took her a few semesters back. No homework just 4 tests and an essay. Show up, read the books, and you're good. I got an A. all these people saying her tests are hard just didn't read or were sleeping in the back. If you have absolutely no homework, how hard is it to read? she is no nonsense and that's what I loved most about her.

Jeydel is true to her core. Sassy, brutal, but very caring & honest. Do NOT try to be the smartass of the class, she'll show you up in no time. Extremely knowledgeable and incredibly interesting. Tons of personality, lots of notes, but don't skip any classes. Show her you're willing to put your best foot forward - she'll help every step of the way.

She is a wonderful teacher. That is, she really teaches and holds the class together so that she can get through the necessary material needed for the student to do well on her tests. She is strict but it's needed. So many kids yakking it up and pulling out cell phones. She makes this subject interesting. I think she's a very good professor.

exams based on lecture and heavy on textbook information. aka YOU NEED THE BOOK

Great lectures and gets back to emails really quickly. I did not pass the class but that was my fault. Should have payed closer attention to the syllabus near the end. There are only 4 tests and no homework. I'm not going to say that is easy but really, it should be a breeze IF you read.

She is not impossible to pass. She rewards your effort, if you show zero effort youll get just that. She is more than willing to help with any issues.
