Professor Jackson's class is very easy to pass. You have 4 exams, including the Final. You can find the answers on Quizlet. The exams look just like the "Sample Questions" he posts on Blackboard. He is pretty funny and his lectures are not bad. He is very understanding and works with you.

He gives you the test questions ahead of time. Super easy and he is pretty funny. I didn't use my book once so I wouldn't get it . He tends to go off on a tangent but he has good stories and makes it pretty interesting

Mr. Andrew is one of the greatest teachers I've had. He was very informative and super funny. His class is super EASY!!! I highly recommend taking his class. He uses reviews for exams so the test are pretty easy if you study. I loved his class so much I made sure signed up for the second session of government that he's teaching!

Mr. Jackson is a very funny teacher. I didn't care too much about government before taking his class. I learned alot about where and what my money is being used on. He gives reviews to the test. 4 exams and a final. His exams are the same as his reviews. No need for the book all the answers are online and he will answer questions for you as well.

Took his class Fall '17, attendance isn't mandatory but it helps to show up to class for his lectures. He adds on more information than what he has on his powerpoints so take notes, it'll help on the reviews for each exam. Don't need the book so don't spend money. 3 exams and 1 final, super easy if you do your reviews.

Fed Gov't Sumr '18; he's always late, slides are grammatically incorrect, slides have incomplete thoughts, the test reviews are multi - choice but hard to locate the correct answers because the answers are based on his opinions not actual book references or power points. It's strange but I've never had to spend so long searching answer.

I took professor Jackson over the summer 1 session and it was a piece of cake. His tests are the only assignments in his class. The reviews are identical to the tests but youll still need to look over the review to pass. Although he is constantly late and gets off topic, you can literally skip 70% of his class and STILL pass! Easy A!

His Govt 2305 class was super easy but very boring I honestly learned nothing because he would get off track a lot but if you want a federal govt credit he would make it be an easy A if you study the reviews of course. 3 exams 2 easy projects and offers a one time chance of extra credit.

Professor Jackson is absolutely hilarious! He's an amazing professor, and this is a super easy class. He gives an extra credit opportunity, 3 tests and the final, and two projects. This class is very very lecture heavy, and sometimes he does get off topic. However, come to class, take notes, do the reviews, and you'll get an A.
