Wonderful - I took both courses from Prof Teas online.
Enjoyed this class.I love that he has everything already posted for the semester and you can work ahead.Whit me working fulltime and in school 15hrs. I really needed a class like this, so that I can move ahead and be finish.Prof. Teas is an EXCELLENT teacher.
I REALLY dig this class. This is the way DE needs to be. You've gotta take GOVT, and you should take it from prof Teas.
This is a great DE course! I would recommend to anyone. Easy A!!
Awesome!
Awesome WebCT teacher. Very nice and very helpful. Interesting assignments. Just do the work and you will do fine.
Good DE class, fair teacher, good communication.
Teas's assignments are straight-forward and clear. He communicates well and is very fair in his grading. Highly recommend Teas!
Great DE class, assignmets actually pertain to real world government instead of just govenrment you read out of the book. Actually learned a lot from this course. No tests just a couple of quizes and responses you do for each week. Very understanding! Two thumbs up for Teas!
He will help you and he is very clear... VERY GOOD online teacher,. BUT if you don't like writing papers and turnin it in once a week don't take him... If you try and just do everything right n turn it in on time you will pass with a good grade
Just completed Government 2 with Professor Teas, he truly went out of his way to help his students. If you are confused he will help you. No tests, 3 simple quizzes, and about 14 or 15 papers but very straight forward and most of them were short. He graded fairly. I would totally recommend him to anyone. A fantastic teacher. Made govt. fun!
the easiest college class ive ever had, no test no nothing. you just have to right a simple 1-2 pg essay once a week and thats it. Pretty much guranteed A!!
The greatest teacher ever! Go for him
Currently taking Govt I&II--great instructor. No exams, midterm, or final--only a few quizzes in both classes and they are at the beginning of the course. Then you only have a couple pages to write per week for an assignment. I HIGHLY recommend him!! (Taking distance ed.--very easy!)
Very easy to understand. You do your work on time you don't have any problem. I got A's in both classes. But be ready to do some reserch work on the internet. Good Professor.
Just finished up 2301 online and I must say it was a great class. I learned more about government and politics than I ever imagined. It was a very enjoyable class. I just got the last available slot for 2302 and this semester isn't even over yet!
Really easy class...just do your research and write good papers and you'll make an A.
Currently taking this class. Took 2301 last semester. Very smooth flowing classes. You are given a syllabus at the beginning of the term that you can work at your own pace as long as you turn everything in by each deadline. It is a good class to take if you have other, more demanding classes on your schedule. Excellent instructor!
He is a very helpful teacher. Sometimes the assignments can be challenging if your not interested in it but for the most part they are easy. If you do it and cite your work your grade will be a good one.
His assignments are all straight-forward and as long as you thoroughly answer his questions and prompts. You also should have solid writing and researching skills.
Very good class. Fun assignments that require you to use the knowledge you've gained from the text. He offers interesting web sites and incorporates them into the class. Highly recommended.
This teacher is the best online teacher i have evr had. I recommend this teacher to any one. WE DO NOT TAKE MID TERM OR FINAL EXAM!!! very heplfull when needed. easy A+
This Teacher has got it together! This is exactly how a ANY college class should be - organized, informative, and fun. I have learned so much & we're only halfway through the class. It's challenging in that you have to know how to write and do online research but it's ALWAYS an interesting and current topic and it's pretty simple.
This class has renewed my interest in government and really was the BEST online class I've ever taken. The format was easy to follow and not intimidating.
very easy and helpful. he understands when you have a problem. reccomend him to any student.
Good Teacher for online, I recommend anyone to take his class. Just follow his instructions and you will find your way online.
Very organized & helpful..you do learn a lot actually...govt might not be interesting but this class might change your mind. If you dont understand just ask. You have to turn in an assignment every saturday and its usually a short essay. They can be time-consuming but not always.There are no tests or midterms or finals. You do have 3 quizzes..easy!
Good teacher
my 1st time taking online class & a good experience! Assignments pretty clear& straightforward. Make sure to read chapters before taking quizzes-it's open book/internet! NO tests but assignments and/or quizzes due weekly. Keep up & don't get behind! Prof is active in discussions and answers ?s pretty quickly. Prof Teas makes learning govt fun!!!
The assignments are boring. You dont learn anything since you don't really have to read the book. If you wanna learn something keep looking.. was a waste of tuition!
GREAT TEACHER. TOOK HIS CLASS ONLINE FOR GOVT 2301 and 2302 and THERE ARE NO TESTS/MID TERM/OR FINAL!!! THERE ARE WRITING ASSIGNMENTS EACH WEEK BUT I FINISHED THEM EACH IN ABOUT 3O MINUTES.... I JUST BULL CRAPPED THE WHOLE TIME AND MADE AN A!!!! NO EXTRA CREDT... BUT ITS NOT NEEDED!!! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED....
I took this as an online class. The assignments are very hard and time consuming but the good thing is you hardly use the book and dont need it. There are no tests or final but alottttt of writing assignments and long essays. You can get a really good grade but you will have to work hard for it.
I took the online course and it was so easy! Im not even good at govt!! assignments each week, looking at web sites mostly. I got an A on almost all! he grades easy, no tests, no final. take him if you just need to get this class over with.
Took DE, there are no test just quizzes and papers. Assignment due weekly pretty self explaintory. All assignemnts carry same weight, some super easy some more challenging. If you keep up with weekly assignments you should get an easy A, even if you slack off completely or don't write well you should still get a C.
Worthless professor! Will never take another DE class he teaches again! Not very clear on some assignments. He requires you to write too many useless papers! I would of rather taken more quizzes and test. He deviated from the book most of the time as well. I might of well have not bought that 90 dollar text book! Don't take his DE course!! F-
Excellent and very caring professor. I took his summer online course and enjoyed it very much. His weekly assignment are very informative, group discussions were interesting. Book use a must to complete weekly online quizzes. Not too hard. No mid-term or final, whew! You gotta research alot for the written assignments though. Grades fairly
VERY NICE, HELPFUL YES YOU WRITE PAPERS BUT THEY ARE EASY AND I LEARNED ALOT I DEFINATELY WISH I COULD TAKE HIM AGAIN FOR 2302 BUT HE IS ONLY TAKING 2301 THIS SUMMER. I TRULY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR
EASIEST CLASS EVER!!!!!!! TOTALLY WORTH IT
Took this class online. This class was the easiest class I have ever taken!!!! He is very organized! I got an easy A. He is very helpful. I never had to use the textbook. One essay is due at the end of every week. But they are EASY! NO TEST, NO QUIZES, NO EXAMS, NO FINAL!! Do not pass up this opportunity!!!!!
EASYYYY!! I have NO interest in Gov and Teas was really clear and laid back, he let people take makeup tests if they missed them for a legit reason. If you read the book, you'll be more than fine. Easys with every test. One project and you can do it however you want. If you're remotely intelligent you can pass this class. EASY A.
Online Course. Answers all ?'s asked & e-mails. Eventhough we really don't use the book, I have actually learned more in this class about our Govt. than any other. Lots of research on current events & Essays every week, so the information sticks. Great Teacher that gets the student involved.
I took professor Teas online, his assignments are very clear, step by step. You have to write a lot of papers, but they are interesting papers. He keeps the class interesting. A few quizzes. I am not an essay fan, but I am glad I took him. I am getting a lot of practice.
Excellent Teacher. Online course. Would highly recommend taking this class, especially if you are like me and hate Govt. His method of teaching is not boring, but exciting and informative. He does not require you to cram everything in the book, but focuses on current events and gives us tools on how to become involved in in our Govt. A++
Teacher was extremely helpful and clear in the projects, test, and reviews. Uses powerpoints and provides them online for downloading use. Review is exactly like the test (to an extent). Enjoyed his class, taking him for 2302.
Great Class & teacher! I took Govt 2301 & 2302 online with Mr. Teas. Class is thoroughly laid out. Assignments are straight-forward and self explanatory. Do the assignments and you will pass. Excellent teacher. Oh yeah: No Midterm & No Final! How awesome is that!
Hey I took Teas Govt 2301 and 2302 online. The class is somewhat easy. Lots of writing assignments, but you will learn. You have the ability to do all of your assignment at once or when their due. The first week, I took all of my quizzes. If you don't like to write papers, don't take this class. Assignment require research. GOOD LUCK!!!
I took Teas classroom class. He marked questions on his test that I got right wrong a few times. When I approached him about it, he got very defensive and made up some information. I had to show him in the textbook, then he begrudgingly admitted I was right but never offered to change my grade. Found him to be fairly unknowledgable but easy. Easy A
i took this class online and did not really like it. Way too strict in grading the assignments. he took of points because i simply forgot to change the style of the file eventhough he was still able to open it and read it. overall, i would not recomend him and i would b thankful if i even got a c.
A lot of writing but not final and no test. If you like writing and don't like test use this teacher. I like writing so I enjoyed the class. I took it online and only one quiz I had to use my book for. Other than that I did not really use it.
Extremely simple course. Powerpoints are given for every section covered. Minimal studying required. Easiest A+ in my college history. Really cool, nice professor willing to help you and very understanding of any situation and happy to help you in any way.
Easy online teacher could of gotten an easy A but i always turned in work late so it was my fault but the assignments are cool and you come out learning
Took online(spring 2010) No tests and no final--only quizzes that are easy, but 2-4 page essays due every week--most of which required extensive research. I was taking 3 other classes (speech, biology, english) and this was the one with the most work! This class was a bit too stressful for me--but I still got an A--worked very hard for it though.
Gave the last comment--but forgot to add that I did learn a lot while taking his class due to all of the research that was required for the essays. So that was a really good thing!
TAKE HIS CLASS! Prof Teas is great at explaining govt and makes it fun, no note taking, no homework, easy tests (if you study for atleast an hour or 2). If you are a busy person like me, he is understanding and helpful if he knows you are trying. He has a great sense of humor and is lenient when grading tests. And he has a cute mole on his face!LOL
Still in his class but for whoever is thinking about taking a govt. class in the Spring TAKE HIM! You have an assignment due every weekend but you have no test. You have about 6 quizzes which are straight out of the book. 2 of them are very easy and you don't use the book on them, it's just pure knowledge. Just make sure to turn your work in!
This Professor is amazing and he is an excellent teacher. I recommend him to everyone who needs to take History 1301 and or 1302. He is extremely fair. He goes that extra mile to help you. His work is very fair. No major exams. Research is easy.
I found Prof. Teas to be completely engaging! He made every assignment interesting, fun and crystal clear on how to accomplish (step by step) what he expected you to accomplish. Attitude is great! No final...One written assignment per week or two weeks. If you put 1/2 effort in, you will pass his class. BUT he deserves students that give their all!
Just finished his online class, passed with an "A" but I worked for it. No test, no final, but you have quizes and a written assignment due every weekend. If you don't like writing do not take this class! If you can handle a couple hours a weekend to write a paper then you will be fine. Make sure to your your assignments in on time!!
Mr. Teas is an excellent instructor. I took this class online. The assignments are very relevant and there is quite a bit of reading involved. There are several quizzes and NO TESTS. However, essays are due weekly. Mr. Teas responds promptly to emails. I also took his GOVT 2301 class online. I highly recommend this instructor
Nice guy wants you to do well. Enjoyable online class. Highly recommended.
I took it DE & he managed to make the class fun & engaging. He is always easy to reach and very knowledgeable. He taught me so much. I highly recommend him, so glad he teaches GOVT 2302 too cause I am taking him again.
good professor interesting assignments.
He teaches online I took both govt. 1&2 and made an easy A, all his assignments are so easy n he also gives links from which we can take help and info, his quizzes are also very easy.
Great professor! Took both government classes online. Instructions are clear & you have plenty of time to work on weekly assignments. Weekly topics are interesting.
This guy is incredible. If you like to write and actually read the text book and take notes youll do fine. He is very flexible and wants you to do well. A real teacher in HCC unlike some of the others who recite the text book. AMAZING!!!!!
Professor Teas is the best class I have taken thus far. He has weekly essay assignments but no final. He keeps it interesting and I learned a lot. He also has a great sense of humor. Take his class!
Online Class NO TESTS! Just essays every week, and few quizzes like 6 fore entire semester. Book not required! As long as you do the work it is an easy class. Grades very easy.
only 350 characters?! Took online. Great prof. Humorous. Very helpful/timely. Fair Grader. No tests. Few simple quizzes. Weekly 3-5 pg essays. Very interesting topics. Book was helpful w/ essays but not required. You will walk away from this class with a fair grade and government knowledge that you can actually use in life.
Professor Teas is a wonderful teacher! His syllabus is clear and easy to understand. He grades his papers in a timely manner and gives excellent feedback and responds to questions in a timely manner. I HIGHLY recommend taking him online! Great, great teacher!
I took Teas for 2301 & 2302 DE class at the same time. His class was fun and challenging. Response well and quickly to your questions. He is very clear in what his rules and expectations are. Very Helpful!!!!
Professor Teas made Government very relevant and interesting. He gives you hands on projects that brings the subject matter clear and understandable. He's got an incredible sense of humor, grades fairly and in a timely manner and respects the student. I highly recommend him! Loved his class!
Professor Andrew Teas is the kind of caring instructor that causes you to want to excel. If a student needs his assistance he is only a mouse click away. He has a profound love for the subject he teaches government. All his assignments are very informative. I loved the research work. Professor Teas is an exceptional teacher. Two thumbs !
Professor Andrew Teas is a great instructor. I took 2301 & 2302, I learned a great deal from his assignments about the different court systems and our government. I enjoyed tracking the 5 Bills we were ask to select. Thank you, Professor Teas for being an exceptional teacher. Thumbs Up! (:^}
His online class is extremely easy. I HATE government, but I found myself highly interested in his assignments. The only people I wouldn't recommend his class to are the people who do not like writing papers. There's a paper due every week, open book quizzes occasionally. He is amazing. Wish I would have taken him for GOVT 2301
I loved this class, it was great and I learned how to write papers easily. with almost two a week it was a demanding class. I learned a lot and the class will forever change my perspective on the way things work in this county. The topic is dry but helpful. He went above and beyond to make sure we understood the information. GREAT PROFESSOR
I would recommend his class during the summer. As long as you know how to do research and write papers, you will do GREAT in this class! He is very helpful b/c he gives links to his assignments. He also grades rather quickly so you know how well you're doing.
I won't say is online class is easy nor hard. His class is demanding for sure. If u are the type like me that don't like writing don't take him. u will write about 2 essay weekly. He will give u links though. If I was to do it all over I won't take him. I had a B+
This teacher is the best. Where was he for Kuwait first govt class. He has links to assignments si that we can understand the assignment better. You have to write a lot,but the assignments are so clear and they are based on real issues that are happening. I love it this teacher is awesome. With commitment you can easily get an A. Go for it!!!!
This teacher is great! I took his online 2302. Everything is crystal clear. Had, I turned my work in on time I would have gotten an A. I was made good grades on my papers but there were late penalties. I am now taking him for 2301. I am definitely getting an A!
online class is super easy even if you write mediocre papers you can still get a good grade just give him the info he asks for
IF U LOVE TO WRITE U LOVE HIS CLASS. I TOOK THIS COURSE ONLINE AND WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE I GET TO PUT MY WRITING SKILLSTO USE. DO NOT RECOMMEND IF U DON'T LIKE WRITING. BUT OTHERWISE EASY A! IF U RESEARCH CORRECTLY!
I took 2302 w/ Teas ONLINE and I wish I took 2301 with him also. No MIDTERM or FINAL nor are there any EXAMS. All he requires is a short essay due each week on a current event in government. This class made me want to be more aware of whats going on in govt and showed me ways to access the info more easily...highly recommended
First of all, I SUCK at writing essays. Prof Teas, why do you make us write so many? But probably this is good for us in the end. Only very good things to say about this man. He is an asset! Yes, there is a lot of work for this class, but that's counterbalanced by the fact that Mr Teas seems so passionate about government and teaching!
Great Professor. I took this class online and there were no finals or midterms. Just one short essay due each week. Just keep up with the work and this class is an easy A.
Professor Teas is the best on line Professor for GOVT. 2302. Do what he asks of the subject matter to write about each week turn your assignments in on time and you will pass. There are some quizzes but they are easy. No mid term or final. I made an "A". Thank you Professor Teas!
Only good things to say about this professor. He made me aware of different things in our government and how to have access to information I never knew about.I would have made an A but I did not turn in one assignment. Oh yeah a lot of writing but if you follow his instructions on what he is looking for you will make a good grade on essays.
Probably the best and easiest prof you will hve in ur college career. Took his online class and was pretty straight forward. Small two page essay (more like give ur opinion) due every week. Very easy grader. Dont even hesitate taking him.
I am taking his Govt. class now. Before this class I had absolutely no interest in Government. Professor Teas makes you want to learn. At times his assignments are time consuming, but you lose track of time and gain interest! He's the best, most organized,and thoughtful instructor ever. I will definitely take his classes in the future.
If you don't like politics, don't take him. His assignments include a lot of reading and writing. so hard and boring for me...
professor teas is really nice. his class is enjoyable and easy . just foll the directions he gives you and you should get a good grade!
This is by far the best class ever. I have learned soooooo much. I enjoyed taking this class. There is an esay (short) assignment along with an open book (10-15 questions) each week. Follow the steps and you will learn and enjoy doing them. He resonse to emils and helps you to understnding each assignment. AWESOME Professor!!!! Thank you Prof. Teas
EASIEST CLASS EVER!everything is done online. No midterm. No final. Alot of writing.
Took online course and yes your have a quiz and paper due every week but they are pretty easy as long as you know how to look things up. The paper every week gets a tad annoying but they really are quite easy to do. He is very approachable and willing to help out. I recommend his class. Knew nothing about govt now I know plenty.
He's a very generous and funny professor. I liked his class a lot :)
HE IS AWESOME!!! I TOOK THIS CLASS FOR THE FALL ONLINE AND I HAVE TWO KIDS AND WORK FULL TIME. HE IS VERY SPECIFIC OF WHAT HE REQUIRES AND REPLIES TO ANY QUESTIONS U MAY HAVE. THIS CLASS REALLY TEACHES U ABOUT HOW TO GET INVOLVED IN GOVT. HIS STYLE IS TO MAKE U AWARE OF HOW GOVT. FUNCTIONS. IT REALLY IS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE. DO UR WORK!
Highly recommend this professor. the class is easy and the assighnments are fun. mostly all online. very nice professor, he is awesome!
I am in the process of taking his GOVT 1302 summer class. Prior to taking him for 1301, I had absolutely no interest in government. I love his classes! He is the most organized, helpful and interesting professor I have had. You definitely have to try hard to fail his class.
Took him for summer and he is the best government professor! He only has you do assignments and they are VERY interesting. I HATE government but these assignments were interesting and keeps you up to date with current events. Not super anal with citations and he definitely understands his students. LOVE him! Glad I listened to all the comments
awesome teacher! learn ur material by doing assignment. much deeper understand concept than traditional way book studies. Assignment are easy and enjoyable (current event stuff). Highly recommend...
In all honesty, I took this class during the summer time, there were 18 (2) page essay assignments and 8 test. No midterm nor final. Some of the writing assignments were interesting and some were not. I made a B. If you are lazy this is not a class for you.
He is a very easy teacher, flexible and interested in the students. I would recommend his online class.
A lot of writing and research involved in this class, you need a lot of time for this class
Online class: Good instructor, lots of writing papers, almost weekly. Grades easy. Very laid out and know exactly what to do and when it's due. One of my better online classes at HCC. Would recommend.
Great! I recommend him! Easy easy! essay due every week and quiz onine! The essays are about easy topics that are inresting! I really have learned alot from this class! I wish i would have taken him for 2301. Take him!Explains clearly! The way he has everything split up for for the semester is super good! Wish all teachers were like him!
One of the best teachers I've had.Puts everything into perspective.There is a paper and quiz due at the end of every week but no midterm or final.He also provides all the resources you will need for writing, so fairly easy if you demonstrate some interest.You won't find a better government professor. Love politics even more, thank you Prof.Teas.
Thank you Mr Teas for this semester,I really enjoyed being in your online class. I’ve never had to write as much as I did for your class, but it was enjoyable, not a pain. Thank you for a wonderful semester, and I did learn a lot.
I took Mr. Teas class online this fall semester 2012 and I must admit he's a great teacher, even though I haven't met him in person you will definitely appreciate how easy he is and that there's no final to take. Even though u have a paper and quiz due every week its definitely worth taking his class.
I've had some really good instructors at HCC, but Teas is a favorite. Lots of writing, but he's very helpful and gives concise instruction. He also opens all the assignments so you can work around your schedule easily. Would love to take another of his courses.
HATE government, but he was a great professor. 1 paper and 1 quiz due every week. Read the book, do the assignments and pass.
Please don't take him. He is horrible. no midterm no final, but quizzes that are very hard and essay every week that are kind of research paper. if you don't do good on the quizzes you going to end up with a bad grade even if you have 100 on the essays. every assignment count equal. he doesn't give extra credit and no point bring up your grade.
Professor Teas is a great instructor. I took his online government class. There are no major exams, and there is no final exam. Just short quizzes each week and essays. The essays are not difficult, and are about current topics in government. He is not a tough grader. If you put in the work, you will get an A.
Great Professor! He has a steady work load, as long as you read each chapter there is no reason to get a poor grade on any quiz or assignment (weekly) that he gives. And you learn a lot! He grades fairly, quickly and responds quickly to any questions. He does not offer extra credit, but if you are reading the book you will not need it. Take him!
Great teacher. SO EASY. No tests or final. Just do the assignments & the quizzes & you'll be fine. Quizzes are straight from the book & the online resource he gives. Assignments are usually between 1-2 pages. 1 assignment & 1 quiz a week. No need to go to class; everything is online. However, I recommend going every now & then to stay up to date.
Good teacher! responds quick, cares about students and gives a lot of resources. All the assignments are writing at least 2 pages or so, short quizzes but no tests. I was not interested in govt and still isn't but he made it more interesting.
That is the second time I am taking an online class with Dr Teas a very Nice person very helpful when I first took this class it was just for my college credit but i end up loving this course and government stuff in general
He give really bad grades and idk how some people have rated him 5 star. but i always get A's or B's but this is the first class in my whole life in which i received an F! thats just ridiculous. it was an online class and he is very rude also.
not satisfied with my grade and yes he is horrible in grading essays which are really like a research papers
He is really grades very easy on essays, but Quizzes you need more time to do it,that is the problem .I strongly recommends him
AWESOME! I just took him this summer and i must say prof Teas is the best, he replies emails in minutes. No final or midterm all you have to do is write 1-2 pages of essay due every week and his quiz consist of 10 questions and with 45mins to complete it. he grades very easy I got an A in this class and I definitely recommend him for anyone.
Great Professor,cares about his students and knows a lot about the subject.
He is an incredible professor, extremely organized, responds very quickly to emails. I was never into Govt, I ended up loving it! Weekly quizzes (10 q) are straight from book, weekly 2-5 pg easy essays based on the weeks subject. He is a very easy grader. Must read! will take him for Govt 2306. Love him
He is an incredible professor, extremely organized, responds very quickly to emails. I was never into Govt, I ended up loving it! Weekly quizzes (10 q) are straight from book, weekly 2-5 pg easy essays based on the weeks subject. No final, no Midterm. He is a very easy grader. Must read! will take him for Govt 2306. Love him
I love Mr Teas, he has been my favorite professor. I hate government and wasn't expecting to enjoy or learn much in this class, but I enjoyed and learned more in this class than I did in any other classes. Weekly quiz and 2 page essay due on Saturday nights. I went ahead of schedule and finished everything early. Wish he taught American Government!
It is really weird, I have posted several times, but will not post successfully, or it will auto drop. No wonder why he has so many good reviews. I hate this class and regretted taking this class. I was fooled by the reviews also. Struggling analysis bills!! Run as fast as you can.
Too bad!!!
wonderful professor. his goal is to teach us the way politics and state government works. i'm really grateful to take his class. learned very very very useful things. excellent job professor
definitely alot of busy work in this class. I guess it makes up for No Final Exam. He is helpful and responds quickly to emails. Quiz 10 questions w/1 hour to complete (use book or google), and 1 (sometimes 2) papers 3-5 pgs due each week. He takes point off like he is an english paper but overall the class is do-able. Barely opened the book!
Professor Teas ROCK!!! I would love to take him again if I could. It is a lot of writing, but you learn a lot about Government. No Test are required!! Lots of writing papers, but the writing papers are easy!!
Great professor. ..very clear on what is expected...one paper due every week and one test every week on sat. No midterm no final. Min 2 page paper very easy to do. I wrk and took 3 other major courses. Grades papers very fair. TAKE HIM ...you won't regret it I made an A
So hard so bad , i never see that before in life he miss-tab my GPA
TRUST ME. DONT TAKE HIM. SO BAD. I GOT C , AND MY GPA DOWN
Easy class. Even when you don't show up in class, if you read the instruction that he posted online and follow it, you are good. I don't understand why people kept saying this class is bad. The professor is extremely easy and helpful.
Teas teacher so hard dont take him at all
I took this class in five weeks terms even though we had a lot of work to do in a short time I would say that this professor is really good all you have to do is take your quizzes(10 questions) and write your essays no midterm no final. and he is a easy grader as long as you cover the requirements for the essays. HIGHLY RECOMMEND he is the best.
please don't take him. It's very difficult to make an A in his class. While his quizzes are easy, he makes you write way too many essays I regret taking him. Oh and he grades the essays very strictly too. Another good thing though is no midterm or final. Even for the essay he makes you do so many readings. Take him at your own risk
Professor Teas was AMAZING. The class consisted of essays & quizzes: no test, no midterm, & no final. All essay topics were interesting & quizzes are easy! If you have questions he's VERY easy to contact, I received replies to my email within the hour. Grading is extremely fair! Don't hesitate to take his class, I'm recommending him to everyone!
Definitely recommend him. His online class was great! 2 quizzes and 2 essays a week. No tests. Everything's by your own pace. He grades pretty leniently as long as you have all that is required. He checks his forum regularly and responds faster than any other professor! And he's pretty funny :)
Great instructor. Easy assignments and even easier quizzes. Quizzes are 10 questions each, straight from the book. A few times I didn't have time to read the chapter, but still aced the quiz. Heavy essay writing in this course, so if that's not your thing, steer clear. BUT if you're OK with it, Mr. Teas is great and an easy grader. I enjoyed it.
Great, always gave feedback on all works. Very appreciated!!
I took online 8 week course. Each week: 2 essays (3-5 pages)& 2 quizzes (10 quest).No test, midterm or final. Some of the essays were challenging but most were pretty easy.He was very informative, provides additional resources to help you with the papers and grades fairly. Lots of writing. He responded to emails quickly and very active w/students
AWESOME TEACHER!!! TOOK HIM FOR THE 8 WEEK SUMMER COURSE AND LOVED IT!
Challenging exams. 5 part questions on essays. DO NOT take this professor on line and DO NOT take this professor if you are taking more than one class a semester. Un-necessary amount of writing!
Currently taking Professor Teas online and I am enjoying it! There's no need for the text book as your majority grade is made up of the 20 essays he gives, although it is "required." If you hate writing, RUN AWAY! Regardless, he is an easy grader. Just do everything on time, follow his direction and you are fine. Did I mention the heavy writing?
Teas is pronominal! Take him, he is great. My class was online. One quiz and one assignment each week, very straight forward and clear. He is very helpful and understanding.
Easy A! 1 quiz & 1 paper a week reg start (no tests 4 Gov classes) 2nd start 2 quizzes & 2 papers in the beginning. Papers are usually 2 min-5 max pages (nice grader) Quiz 10 question's & plenty of time. Papers and quizzes are easy. Easy to contact via e-mail. Cares about his students. He is the best! Highly Recommend! Please TAKE HIM!
He is the best!! Highly recommend!!
He is the best!! Easy A!! TAKE HIM!! Quizzes are 10 questions and an hourplenty of time if you have test anxiety. 1-2 papers and 1-2 quizzes a week. Open bookgoogle. Tip: answers are in the textbook & onlinegoogle search. Textbooks are cheaper to buy on eBay or amazon. NO TESTS!! Highly recommend!! :)
Had a great time taking his online class! Easy as pie! No midterm or finals, only 1-2 quizzesassignments every week. Pretty lenient on deadlines, as long as you email beforehand.
By far the BEST teacher I have taken EVER. The layout of assignments, due dates and flow is crystal clear! Every Saturday by 11pm we had a chapter quiz(10 questions, google friendly) and an essay assignment(he is very specific on what it's about and provides linked references) Textbook is not really necessary at all.
all his quizzes and assignment are due online. All quizzes are really easy and you could look up by google. However, some assignments would take couple days to finish because many pages of sources to read. But if you have any question, he'll answer as soon as he can on discussion forum, he's really nice and helpful
GREAT teacher!!!! The layout of assignments, due dates and flow is crystal clear. He is wonderful and understanding.
Professor Teas is such a kind & caring teacher! He made getting an A very easily attainable because he did a wonderful job at making the assignments clear and simple. I learned a lot about our local government because his assignments are fun to do & there is only one due per week along with a quiz! He truly wants everyone to do well and learn.
HE GIVES 10 QUESTIONS QUIZZES WHICH ARE EASY IF YOU HAVE READ. BUT BE PREPARE TO DO SOME WRTING. 2-5 PAGE ESSAY IS DUE EVERY WEEK IF YOU TAKE HIS ONLINE CLASS. THE ESSAYS ARE PRETTY EASY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. JUST DEDICATE TIME FOR THE CLASS AND YOU WILL PASS. HE IS NOT A HARD PROFESSOR. VERY ENCOURAGING AND UNDERSTANDING. HE WILL HELP
Beyond easy. Took his 8 wk online class over the summer. 2 quizzes and 2 essays every week. I wouldn't take it again because I haven't learned a single thing about government. I may have browsed through a couple times, but I've never read it. All answers are online and I've bs all my essay. Doesn't give a sht about grammar. Essay are lengthy tho.
If you are looking for an easy A even if government isn't your forte, take Professor Teas. No final, just quizzes that are ten questions long. Very clear on assignments. Only way you will fail is if you don't work, obviously. Wonderful professor!
OMG!!! stay a way from him !!! I took him for Fall semester every week you need to do essay2-5 pages and quiz 10 question multiple chose. I swear he graded the essay without even read it, if is happy will give u an 96 if is not will give u 0. OVERALL stay way from him.
He is probably one of the easiest classes I have taken so far. You do need your book ONLY for the quizzes, which is for like 2 or 4 questions out of 10. One of my favorite professors. Just do your work and you'll get an easy A. I would highly recommenced anyone to take this class. You get a quiz and essay every week but all very easy!!
i took this class for the regular term. one assignment and one quiz per week! super easy... if you don't understand, simply ask! professor teas answers pretty quick on discussion board. not super picky ab writing styles... just wants assignments on time! there's no way you should fail this course! looking to take his class again for govt 2306.
Firstly, Professor Teas looks a lot like Russell Crowe in my opinion. He's extremely nice, and is very clear on what he wants from you. No tests, but the class requires you to take 1 online quiz (use your textbook, I recommend buying a digital copy to search for key words), and 1 essay a week. Super easy grader, you'll only fail if you do nothing.
Prof Teas is a very generous grader! I know I turned in a couple of pitiful papers and he still gave me an A each time. You would literally have to do zero work to fail this class. Prof is quick to reply to student inquiries, and quick to grade. One 10 question quiz and one 2-5 pg essay due each week. Personally, I never opened the textbook.
He's a great teacher, goes over anything you nees to know for your quiz and papers, the papers arent even about content in your book they're mostly about your opinion, super easy class no way to fail and thats coming from someone who hates essays, you can google everything on the quiz too
Easy A!! I took Prof. Teas for both Govt 2305 & 2306. 10 quizzes and 10 essays. Do you work, stay on schedule and ask for help if you need it.
Got A, 3 essays and 3 quizzes per week in his class. Quizzes answers available on Google, don't buy book. Essays are 2 to 5 pages long, buy he is easy grader. If u r lazy to write essays, don't take his class, take Eric Schneider, he just give u quizzes and test , which r same as review one he give u in class.
I love him! So helpful and clear on the content he wants. Have to turn in a paper and a quiz every weekend but they're so easy! Take him you won't regret it!
I ended up with an A, which I worked hard for that, every week assignment which was not easy to write and I believe some times he did not read the assignment , I was not happy with his grading.
gives a quiz and an essay assignment WEEKLY! The quizzes are beyond easy, Quizlet will be your friend for this. The Papers are fairly easy, he gives many websites for guidance. Easy grader! essays are 2-5 pages long! Make sure to turn in your work on time because he does not accept late work AT ALL. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
As long as you're willing to do the work in this class, Professor Teas makes it easy for you to pass it with an "A" grade.
No midterms, no finals, just online assignments and online quizzes, whose answers can be easily found on quizlet.
Every week you have one short quiz and one 2-5 page assignment. As long as you turn in your assignments, you will pass. Highly recommend!
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING PROFESSOR!!!!!!!! TAKE ASAP!!!! I took the online class. No midterm, no final, no tests. Every week there's a quiz and essay paper due. Cant get any easier. Responds very quick to emails. I'm taking him again this summer for govt 2306.
The majority of his essay topics are really interesting to write and learn about. If you keep up with current news then this is the class to take because then you'll have a lot to write down. I took him for both Federal and Texas government during regular terms and passed with A's . Professor Teas is the best! Take him!
Easy A if you like writing! Only 10 Q weekly quizzes (answers can be found online) and a 2-5 Page essay due every week. Textbook is not needed. He's a very easy-grader with clear grading guidelines. Topics were very interesting and seemed to really relate our everyday lives to the government's involvement. Highly recommend, would take again. No FE.
One of the greatest professors i ever had! Easy A, he is very understandable and Quizlet can be our best friend! You really don't have to use the book and you can Google the answers to the quiz and for the assignment you can look up more about the topic, using tour own words of course.
Took him online. Everything is readily available. One quiz and one essay per chapter (1 chapter per week). NO lectures. NO quizzes or tests. NO final. He provides the sources for the papers and his requirements are in plain english. Each weekly assignment and quiz is due that Saturday. Easy to work ahead. Quizzes are open book/open internet.
Amazing professor. Though there are many essays but he gives you clear directions and websites to get help from. Quiz are open book and open internet. If you want an easy A to increase your gpa, choose him.
Great professor had 1 quiz and a short essay per week, but he gave clear instructions with resources to use. He's an easy grader (got 100's on everything). Quiz answers are on the internet, and you get an hour to answer 10 questions. He is always accessible through emailing and truly cares about government. No final exam! For an easy A, take him!
Easy going professor, operates much like an online class. His lectures are interesting to hear since he also works for the government and offers his perspective as well into the mix. Funny guy too. 1 quiz and one essay per week, quizzes are easy since they're online which becomes fairly easy. No final exam, just consistent amounts of work.
Mr. Teas is ok, I can agree that the quizzes were not challenging at all however you better get ready to write,an essay no matter what the topic is an essay is due every single week. If you really don't want to be responsible for essays every single week, then don't commit to taking this class.
I felt that this class was mediocre, not incredibly easy but not too hard either. There was a 10 question quiz every week which you were given an hour to complete, answers could be found online. There was also an essay every week. I felt that you need to try somewhat hard, otherwise you won't get a 100. He did seemed to be quite nice though.
I loved his class! I took for winter mini session we had 3 quizzes and 3essay due every week for 4 weeks. The quizzes can be googled! Yes ,the essays are little overwhelming, but its worth it. He was really easy grader and seems really nice. Just put effort into the work & you will get an A I highly recommend him! No final and No midterm! Amazing!!
No test, mid-term, or final just one quiz and essay a week!
he is the best professor you will ever find at HCC, even though he gives an essay and a quiz every week, he makes sure he explains everything before you do the homework, he is very accessible he would reply your email within few minutes after you sent him. If you just do the assignment your all good, you might even score an A three weeks before the
There is a quiz and essay due every week and it is not bad at all, however, it could become a little tedious if you wait too long to complete it. Great professor who is on top of things and communicates very well!! You can tell he is passionate about Government. Just do your work on time and you should do very well. Highly recommend him!
Prof. Teas is a great professor and his online class is clear and concise. You do have a 2-5 pg paper & a quiz due every week about various topics involving gov't. It's not hard, but don't wait till the day it's due to write your paper b/c then it becomes tedious and stressful. He gives feedback on almost all papers & replies quickly. He is great!

Easy A. Easy quizzes that are actually 50% of your total grade and are open book and internet. Essays are 250 words and you have to do around 7 to 8 but believe me you will get an A.
He is a nice teacher and his assignments are not hard but I personally have a tough time writing essays which is why I failed his class since 50% of the assignments are 2-5 page essays due every week. If you are not a strong writer or you don't like online assignments, I suggest taking a different teacher.
Professor Teas is an awesome teacher. You will work and have to put up major effort but he offers great feedback and really cares about his students. He responds quick and will help with anything you don't understand. Lots of papers but you'll be a pro once you finish his class. Good luck!
A lot of essays and quizzes per week but it is a pretty fair workload. It was not a difficult class and the teacher is very reasonable.
Professor Teas came highly recommended by other students and co-workers that have taken him, so I decided to give him a try. He is amazing with the organization of his syllabus, assignments and deadlines. Although weekly essays are tedious, it keeps you focused and disciplined. I will take him again Spring 2018 for 2306. Take him, he's awesome!!
Awesome experience with this teacher! First time taking a full online class, Love him and highly recommend, Quiz and essay each week definitely the most organized teacher I have had . No extra credit and also no tests TAKE HIM!
Good professor/ fair. Dont buy the book because its a waste of money in this class, you can pretty much research on the web for his eassay topics every week. If you plan on getting and A in this course you need to be disciplined and turn in an essay every single week till the semester is over.
This class consists of a quiz and a paper due every week. It's fairly easy and all he wants is for you to try. Use proper citations and you should do well, if not he'll give you clear feedback. It is however consistently a lot of work, so if you have a job or lots of other classes maybe skip this one.
From the reviews i expected more of a lenient teacher and not so hard of a grader. Im taking the mini session and he squeezed 3 quizzes and 3 essays due every week until its over. Not so bad until you actually work hard on an essay, turn it on on time, and receive a low grade. As an English major i know i deserve more than a 75 on a college essay
I took GOVT2306 with him for Spring 2018 and I love him! He is a funny professor, you have a quiz and a 2-5 page paper due every Saturday night. NO EXAMS or final exams only papers and quizzes which are google friendly. He is not a tough grader if you do what is told. Easy A if you do your papers and quizzes. TAKE HIM
There is essays and quizzes each week. It is not that hard if you put in time and effort to write a paper. The quizzes are based on the textbook.
I took 2305 with Prof. Teas and I took him again for 2306. He requires an essay (2-5pgs) and a quiz every Saturday. You have a week to complete each. Sounds like a lot of work and it is. No exams or finals. But if youre good a writing, then go for it. I preferred it because it required no memorization. So far I have an A in the class.
TAKE THIS TEACHER. No teacher is easier then this. One essay and quiz due every week and he's a very good grader and it sounds hard when i say essay but trust me he is not!
If you need government credits for your major, its HIGHLY recommended you take him. Hes very easy going and understanding. Hes not hard at all. If you complete your assignments on time, you will pass. Ive exhausted him for 2 semesters in a row & so sad I cant take him just 1 more time. Hes awesome!!!!!
OMG! this is the best professor his so understanding. Just have to do an essay and a quiz every Saturday, and you good. The best part is that there's no final yes no final just do your weekly essays and quiz. Always answer emails. BEST! put effort tho and will pass with an A. Lastly be on time he so rolls call at the beginning of class.
Professor Teas is an amazing, he understands college students! No final or midterm just quizzes and 2-5 page essay's due weekly. Professor Teas is very straight forward and explains exactly what he excepts from each assignment. Take him you will be happy you did!
Ahhh i cannot express how great he is. Easiest class ever and you actuallly learn from it if you put your mind to it! I'm definitely taking him for 2306. 1 quiz 1 essay due a week. No exams or a final. He is a gift sent from god and he REALLY knows his stuff!!!!! TAKE HIM.
He is an amazing online professor. So organized and grades are posted quickly. I couldnt ask for anything more. He is so detailed in what he wants and aslong as your essays and quizzes are done you should have no troubles! I truly learned a lot and enjoyed it!!!
amazing lecturer and so organized. If you are seeking a degree in government, definitely would recommend attending hin classes. no midterm and exam.
He is one of the best teachers I have ever had. His class is organized and not so hard. All you have to do are easy quizzes and essays, but he will give you helpful resources to write your papers. Those essays were not so hard since he is an easy grader. No midterm or exam. Fast response and respectful. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
He's very clear with what he expects throughout the course and doesn't give any exams. Every week, an essay and quiz are due and essays are mostly about current events. Quizzes are mostly online, but still refer to the online textbook since some Quizlets are wrong. He's also lenient and isn't hard on grading. Would definitely recommend his class.
Need an easy government class? Take Prof. Teas. Just a small warning, though, he does give you a ton of papers but they are easy peasy (2-5 pages, double spaced, you can use MLA or APA as long as you cite your sources). As long as you understand what he's asking of, you should get an easy 100 on the assignments. You are guaranteed a good grade!
I took him for the winter mini session. It was a little difficult for me, just because we had to turn in 3 essays and 3 quizzes each week. The quizzes are not that difficult. By the way, some answers on quizlet are wrong. I also just have a hard time writing. However, Professor Teas was an easy grader. He also gives great feedback. I recommend him.
No tests at all not even a final. Every Saturday there is a paper do and as long as you do it on time you will pass with an easy A. Internet helped a TON when it came to typing papers. Can be a handful but he is an easy grader.
His class is more of an English Class than government. He doesn't add any comments and rate on you based off your grammar. 2 Quiz and essay every week, which is a lot of information to put in your head. Currently taking his class but he should just be an English Teacher.
Professor Teas' lectures are very interesting. I had 0 idea about the American Government and politics but he explains everything simply and clearly. No tests or finals just an essay and quiz due every Saturday. He is not a tough grader. However, at some point I felt like he was looking for his opinion in my essay and took points off.
Its not like you wont pass if you work hard, but i got 88 out of 100, which is good I think. My problem was I lost 12 points for grammar i.e. "the", "a" and "of", i missed just 3 of these words an I lose 12pts for that??? If you are anything like me who dont like politics or government then RUN AWAY NOW! I hate his assignments, too hard & quiz good
He does not read my essays. He left the exact same comment on most of my essays. He took 28 points off of my essay and gave me 72 just for English. I took my writing to writing center and he gave me 65 with exactly same comment "English problems". try to contact him but he don't reply.
THE BEST ABSOLUTELY BEST GOVERNMENT PROFESSOR AT HCC. No exams just a quiz and an essay due every Saturday. English is my second language and I managed to get 100 on all of my essays. If you like writing, take him. he's not a tough grader. THANK YOU SO MUCH PROF TEAS YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY THE BEST
I honestly hated government and dreaded taking this course but Teas has made this course interesting and I am now engaged in politics and forming my political identity out of the classroom. Great professor and very clear and very open to helping students . 1 quiz and 1 assignment (short, easy, essay) a week, no final, easy A. Textbook is free onlin
Prof is all right but requires way too much work. 10 quizzes, 4 Assignments, & 3 Exams. NO Extra credit. Frankly it is just too much work for a required Govt class. Does not drop any grade or offer extra credit. Not good with responding to emails either. If you can keep up you will get an A - not too difficult.
a paper and a quiz due each week with easy topics but he was a great teacher. will be taking him for 2306
Nice professor but lectures are heavy. His class is just based of essays due every week 2-5 pages with hard topics. No tests. If you don't want to write essays every week then this class is not for you. He says he's not a tough grader but he is. Don't recommend
I assumed that Prof. Teas class was going to be great from what I read in the previous reviews, however, after taking his class personally, it was determined that was a lie! Yea sure you dont need to buy a textbook and no there isnt a final, but beware, there are THREE two to five page essays due each week! THREE!! PLUS three to four quizzes.
There is a lot of work and a lot of reading. HW, Discussions, Mid Term and Final. Uses the Online HW service from book publisher. Grades discussion posts a bit strictly. All in all a good professor and I recommend him. But be ready to put in close to 2 - 3 hours of work daily.
Failed me because he suspected plagiarism with no proof. He's really suspicious of his students.
I believed all the good reviews and took his class. He made it hard like you're in a Political Science major. Every week is a 2-5 pages essay, sometimes 2 essays plus quizzes. And he accused every student of plagiarism. After he gave me a zero for plagiarism even though I cited my sources, I decided to drop from his ridiculously hard class.
I really learned a lot in this class, more than I expected to. Essay and quiz due every Saturday. That sounds crazy, but you get a whole week which is very fair. No midterm, no final, therefore grades are based on essays and quizzes. They aren't strict English essays so don't panic. The textbook is on canvas so you don't need to buy one! Good luck!
Mr. Teas is one of the most sympathetic and active teachers. He always tries to help students whenever there is a problem with the course or conflict overall. Additionally, his class is easy to understand to make the student feel more confident about Texas Government. So I would definitely take his course again!
Professor Teas is truly an amazing teacher. Although the work may seem tedious at times, the work is easy and can be done quickly. He also really cares for the students as he extends the deadlines so that we can enjoy our holiday break. Overall, he really is a nice teacher and really cares for the students.
Professor Teas is stupendous; he makes you work for your grade, but he is understanding and provides the best feedbacks. If you want to learn, but without the stress of a professor that blasts you with useless information, this is the class to take. His knowledge is simple to understand and gives you assignments that make you recollect information.
God bless this man, a real gem hidden in HCC's faculty. no tests, no final. just write one paper a week and take the online quizzes. his class is entertaining and useful. highly recommend him. don't miss out on his classes
1. On the 1st day of class he asks the class whether they want periodic tests and a final or simple quizzes and a paper every week. The quizzes are directly from the notes and he even gives links where necessary. He designs them for anyonwho will read to pass. The essay to are pretty easy. 2-5 pages (double spaced) with sources
I had Mr. Teas for government 2, his assignments were reasonable and easy (just make sure you do them on time). I missed a cut off date once and he extended the assignment just so I could turn it in. He also communicates fast and genuinely want you to do well!
Best professor
Professor Teas is an great teacher, if you want an easy A take him. Each week you have an quiz an a essay due. Quiz is 10 questions multiple choice and essay is 2-5 pages. Turn your work in on time and you will be fine. Honestly I made a B because I turned a few papers in late. He gives you all the information you need to pass his class. Take him!
Professor Teas was great. His assignment instructions were very clear & he always gave feedback. You get 1 essay & 1 quiz each week. Very caring teacher.
wonderful professor, he cared that i was an essential employee during COVID. Only 1 essay and 1 quiz due a week but its openbook. Canvas is well set up and I did not have to buy a textbook.
Professor Teas was easy going and cares about his students. As long as you follow the rubric and syllabus, this class should be easy for you. There is an Essay due every week, but sometimes its small assignments that are easy. Quiz also due every week. answers online or in textbook. No tests. Assignments are due at midnight every Saturday.
Great class, but since I took the 5 week course, everything was condensed to 3 essays and 3 quizzes due per week instead of a normal 1 essay and 1 quiz per week. It is doable, but you have to keep up with your work. Grades easily, make sure you have correct grammar and he is super approachable for help.
He's a very respected & understanding professor! I took Professor Teas for govt 2306 for a summer session and the course had about 3 assignments & 3 ten-question quizzes a week. He gives back great submission comments after every written assignment .
Professor Teas is one of the best professor I had during my school year at HCC. He is an excellent grader and very laid back. Since I took this for a 5 week course we had 3 essays and 3 quizzes per week which he would later provide responses to us. I would recommend this professor to anyone who wants to take Texas government.
Professor Teas was fun to take i learned a lot about government! i took the 5 week course it was 15 quizzes with 10 questions and 15 essays, its a heavy course load but very possible because he an easy grader! I took two classes for the 5 weeks and passed with an A while working full time so its possible and an easy A!
Professor Teas is an associate professor I would recommend anyone to take him he help us a lot with the homework assignment the quizzes were very easy and he is also an angel I was going through a lot when I got the course for December and he gave me time to turn in my assignments he comprehend all his students.
I am so glad I took him if you are good at essays you have one each week along with a 10Q quiz. The essays he gives are based on true topics and really want your opinion. Probably would have been a great class to take in person. Also, the textbook is online there's no need for purchasing it. Which is amazing. Overall great Professor.
Overall - great guy. Seemed down to earth and was good at explaining concepts. (for regular session) 2 medium difficulty assignments per week but no major grades, so as long as you're punctual and stay ahead, you'll get an A. As of Spring 2021, he and other professors are currently working to making their own textbook so you don't need to buy one.
absolutely enjoyed taking his class, he truly was a gem, I was going through personal issues and let me have a few weeks to submit my assignment, in addition, his class is pretty much easy 1 essay every week and a quiz, if you read the textbook, you really should have too much of a problem
So this class was a breeze to get through. There is tons of homework and papers. But if you at least do them and follow them prompt you should no issue passing his class. I am already scheduled to take him this summer for GOVT 2306! I have nothing but positives to say about this professor.
There are a lot of essay assignments, but none of them are too difficult. His class is genuinely interesting, and he gives you good feedback.
Amazing professor, I took him for Spring 2021. One paper and quiz a week, super easy grader as long as you actually follow the prompt, and he helps you out with quizzes through links. I wish I had him in-person, his humor in the syllabus and other things was amazing. Sometimes hard prompts, but interesting. An easy A for anyone willing to try.
A QUIZ AND AN ESSAY DUE EACH WEEK!!! What else is left to say? if you like a lot of researching and writing then go ahead take him. It is so overwhelming trust me. I don't know why I fell for his ratings. It was a really tough course. Never written this many essays in a course before, not even ENGL! No mids and finals though, and no LDB.
Please don't take this professor his very heavy on essays NO final but you have 14 essays each one is due every weekend and 17 quizzes every weekend as well and you get one try only. He takes plagiarism very seriously.
The ebook was great although the beginning when covering Texas geology was a snooze fest. The course is well organized, with one weekly paper and one ten-question open-book quiz. Put some thought into the paper, do your best in MLA format and he will grade high! Responds to questions quickly! Absolutely first-rate professor, don't pass up!
Professor Teas was an amazing professor. You have one quiz and essay due a week. He gives plenty of time on the homework assignments and will help you out if you need it. Very nice guy as well!
Professor Teas was a great prof for my Texas Government class. He has clear and concise expectations and grading processes, making it easy to get work done. However, a 2-5 page paper is due every week, as well as a 10-question quiz. As long as you follow the rubric and stay on top of your work, it is pretty simple for the most part!
Andrew is one of my favorite professors I've ever had.GOVT isn't one of my fav subjects but this man made it so interesting and EASY to pass the class. does have essays every week but they are so simple. grades 100% every time as long as you answer the question.the only thing I dont like is that I won't be able to be his student for another class.
Pretty simple professor, he has an essay and quiz each week and they are all extremely easy to accomplish, there's no way someone can fail his course.
I took GOVT 2306 in the summer at hcc. It is an online course, and there are modules to complete each week. If you're good at time management and writing, this class should be easy for you. There are open-note quizzes for each chapter and 2-5 page essays for almost all chapters. Overall, I 100% recommend.
What a "great" Professor"! I took him this summer, for the Texas Government. Although there are quizzes and essay (assignment) writings, the work isn't hard unless you make it hard for yourself. All quizzes are necessary to be done on time. I missed the last writing assignment, and I received a B+, due to two major family emergencies. Awesome!!
He is a great professor and I believe the class was interesting. Even though I wasn't too interested in Government and politics, this course was interesting. When it comes to working, there is an essay and quiz for each chapter, and overall shouldn't be that bad as long as you have a decent work ethic.
Professor Teas needs to be bragged about. This is my second semester taking him and both semesters he's been my favorite professor. You have to do a 2-5 page essay every week (double-spaced, 12 pt font) and a quiz. The assignments are moderate in difficulty but he gives you more than enough resources to use. I wish more professors were like him.
Great professor! Each assignment was basically the same 2 page essay and 1 quiz each week, but they were doable if you dont overthink (i would just write my opinion and I would get a A). The quizzes were either on quizlet or just search and find on a website he would link so easy A. Textbook was free since he posted one for free! 10/10
Very tough grader, too many quizzes. Runs plagiarism checker if even one line has similarities he calls plagiarism(even though they are papers written through research).
1 essay and 1 quiz per week. Essays are 70% of your grade, quizzes 30%. Quizzes are open book/internet. Essays can be submitted late for 10% off each day it is late. Essays are each 2-5 pages. No final, no tests. Easy grader on the essays, just wants to hear your opinion. Write your essays in class to have no homework.
Professor Teas is a very easy teacher all you have to do is write an essay every week and a 10 question quiz. easy grader. Only thing I would love to change is have the assignments due on sundays instead of saturdays, as a very busy medical professional, it would help to have the whole weekend to do my work, as i work monday through friday all day
Great professor and would recommend them to other students. If you have to opportunity take his class! His feedback is great for grade improvement and he will help you succeed in his class. Very understanding and accessible to reach.
This class was one of the easiest classes I've taken. You have 1 written assignment and a 10-question quiz due every week, NO TESTS. That's it. Such an easy grader if you follow his instructions. He provides all the resources you need for each assignment. On quizzes he attaches links so you can copy the answer. Chapters are very short.
Super cool guy! It's a lot of writing, two or three 2-5 page essays due every Saturday but the topics are super easy. I can usually knock all three out in 2 hours. As long as you have an idea of what's being asked, he appreciated the effort and will give you credit. Quizzes are super easy, too! Funny guys and answers emails pretty quickly.
Professor Teas was great and didn't waste your time on tests. 1 essay & 1 quiz due at the end of every week, he grades 'tough' but if you answer all of his questions for the essay, you're gonna get a 95+. He loves talking and is super sweet and funny! Definitely take him.
The class was fine, but the 2-5p essays wore me out combined with other classes it was hard. It may seem easy still be careful it can get overwhelming with all the things he asks for. If you like gov or writing you should be fine otherwise consider someone else. tbh it felt like he was making us explain different jobs like we had them ourselves lol
Essay every week, it's opinion based so don't worry. The essays are really easy, quizes are light work, professor is fun to listen too. Really recommend if you want a decent time for your GOV. credit.
Look no further for your Texas Govt. class. His assignments are interesting. The class is all essays. One essay and one quiz per week.
I would take him again, he is an easy grader and gives clear instructions for both the essays and quizzes.
If you do not like to write, do not take this class. Two assignments each week. Quiz and 2-5 page essay. Final also 2-5 page essay. Quizzes are easy (10 questions) and grading criteria are easy. If you use AI it's not for you. Responds to emails fast. Would go through rough drafts and good feedback. Easy A if you put effort.
I absolutely loved taking Professor Teas online gov class. He gives great feedback on the essays you have to write. If you don't mind writing 2-5 page essays every week I highly recommend. The essays are pretty easy as he provides the sources and info for you. If you answer all the questions he asks you'll at least make a B on the essays. 10/10
I took it as a summer class I don't recommend taking it if you have a busy scheduled summer he doesn't care for excuses on why it was late. 3 essays 2-5 pages and 3 quizzes due each wee.
I took him for the summer, I enjoyed his class! Great guy, and helpful when you ask. For summer, he assigned 3 essays eachweek that were around 2-5 pages. The essays are straightforward, as he gives you guidelines. In addition, he has a nice style with quizzes. His quizzes are based on information in the textbook and outside websites. Overall good!
Professor Teas is the best government professor I have ever had. He shows so much care, kindness, and respect towards his students. He makes class enjoyable and does NOT walk around too much. I will forever miss Professor Teas i hope i can take a class of his again someday. Everything 10/10 this is a professor you want to teach you government. :)
Professor Teas is awesome! No exams and no memorization, but a written essay EACH week covering a topic is required. It's a tedious and time-consuming course, but the grading criteria is straightforward. Be weary of how you use AI, he is very adamant about the consequences if AI is detected in your papers.
Such good professor, if you can take his class do it in person, he is really passionate and very funny. Also very understanding, overall pretty easy class, and Professor Teas is very kind and gives good feedback. Will definitely take his class again.
I absolutely loved having Professor Teas for my government class. He is organized, fair, and genuinely supportive of his students. He always grades assignments on time and provides helpful feedback. The quizzes directly reflect the material he covers, so if you pay attention and study, you do well.
Easy A. One paper a week, 3-5 pages, but not challenging. You don't need to read the textbook to pass the quizzes, which are roughly 10 questions (non-proctored). Take him, you won't regret it.
If you have to take a GOVT class, do yourself a favor and pick Professor Teas. He and his colleagues wrote their own textbook and it is easily digestible and honestly pretty interesting for someone who has no interest in government. He gives great feedback, is knowledgeable, caring, and extremely lenient on grading. Protect this man at all costs.
So kind and caring, probably my favorite professor. One essay and quiz (open note) per week. Suuuuper easy. His lectures are very interesting and it's exciting to see that he invites guest speakers. 10/10 class. I wish he was my professor every year.
Hands down favorite prof this semester! Super easy with 1 essay and quiz on each unit (once a week), graded pretty lightly. He gives thorough instructions on the essay in class. He always responds to emails in a timely manner, and gives super interesting lectures on each topic. Also brings in guest speakers! Please take him if you can !!
This professor is awesome. There is no textbook that needs to be bought. There is work to be done but the assignments are easy and understandable. There are papers to turn in but he is generous with his grading. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs to take Texas government. Also, he is not hard to get in contact with.
His class is just an Essay and a quiz every week. Be aware if you are using AI on your work! good professor
This prof was awesome i love him. i would def recommend him and take another class of his
The quizzes are very easy and the essays are very fun and easy to do too. His lectures are entertaining and he grades very loosely. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone
Professor Teas made learning Federal Government very uncomplicated. I recommend this professor for the way he makes his assignments very understandable. His instructions are very thorough when it comes to writing essays. Each week you are given a quiz and a 2-5 page essay. In addition, he is very responsive interested in your questions & concerns!
