Great class... great teacher. A++, Lots of fun too. I would def reccomend prof levine to anybody taking law and politics... or any other class he offers.

Amazing grader and very helpful, but goes off on wild tangents

Funny and a good teacher.

Hes pretty easy, but a terrible professor. I could never go to class, and when I did it was either to get my graded assignments, hand in papers or take exams. But if you read the assigned readings you will do fine. Curves are huge, so you should get a b

A great course and a great guy, with more experience in his field than most professors combined at school. Willing to go out of his way to help you, tho in his own quirky way

hardly went to class, bad lecturer, got first class notes, got an A

Nice guy,huge curve which makes it hard to fail his class...

Great guy, good lecturer, but its a hard class. He def. knows what he's talking about. Study!

Awesome grader and very funny. Also helpful and all around nice guy.

i think he is a great guy, very easy to talk to, very funny, an enjoyable teacher.

This professor is passionate, intelligent, interesting and very helpful. All requisities for a good professor. If you're into law and politics, give this class a try. A great class where you actually learn something at the end of the day. TA's are helpful too.

His is hilarious and loves to tell stories. He makes it IMPOSSIBLE to fail his class and almost impossible to not get an A. The final read like this. "You showed up congratulations you earned 50 points, no earn the next 50." Take this guy, he is great.

This guy is awesome! I wish he taught every class I had.

Definetley a character, wont forget his impression of a **** mickey mantle in front of everyone. I got a 100 on a test, and i know squat about politics. Got exempt from the finals, he lectures pretty well and certainly knows his stuff.

great professor, funny and understanding guy....if you go to office hourse hes a great help...this was my first poli sci class and I got a B...pretty good amount of work but its worth it

Had him for two classes, he's definitely one of the best professors here. He is a lot like former New York Mets manager Casey Stengel, look that up if you don't know who he is. He constantly tells stories and keeps you entertained all the while teaching the material. Probably the best prof. here.

Must be one of the best professors in the whole university. He knows what he's talking about and you'll actually learn something. Going to his office hours will help you tremendously. TA's were ok. I plan on taking any other classes he may happen to teach.

Good professor, but really the hotness factor is what did it for me. He knows his stuff, sure, but his class is too darn distracting because he's so hot you can't even focus on what he's saying.

I agree. Prof. Levine is one of the best prof. in the university. I came to this class with no knowledge and left with an A and a new perspective on politics. The TA's are awesome and extremely helpful. There's a lot of reading,5 briefs,a paper, quizzes- the last one being the final and lowest is drop (exc. final)- its worth it in the end!

Follow exactly what he says will be on exams and you'll get an A or B. I definitely didn't have enough background to understand some of what he was talking about, but he was great at answering questions and kept you awake in class. Fair Grader!

I cannot believe this man has his Ph.D. He's got the IQ of brick and the classroom manner of a football coach. No offense to bricks and football coaches, but they have no place being my professors. That said, if you are a dolt like the rest of the swine who rated him, take his class: it's easy.

He's the man. I love this guy. Take both of his classes: L&P and Intrest G. It doesn't get better than him. He's Very fair grader and you will learn alot.

Hes awesome really cool to listen to and makes class fun as hell, bit of reading but easy to get a good grade. he is as good as it gets from a prof

He's the type of professor who on the first day of class comes in, throws down his brief case, and shouts "What is political about the law!" That was the first class I ever had at rutgers and I left saying "I'm gonna like it here." He's just such a cute fun guy. He's very smart, but doesn't belittle you when you are wrong. Definately take him.

Professor Levine is probably the best thing that happened to teaching. As a freshman at Rutgers University, he makes my transition into college very easy. This class, although deals with tough materials, is a lot of fun because Professor Levine makes it that way. Thank you so much for allowing me to love your class and hate the others :D

great guy and an even better professor..may be a bit unorganized, but it isn't reflected in your grade at all..really teaches the material affectively...i highly reccoment this class to everyone

Don't believe all the mean comments! He's a really really nice professor, and he'll help you with questions and the briefs that he assigns. Very lenient and kind. You hardly have to pay attention in class and can still get a good grade as long as you study for the exam (which he gives you a study guide to). Definitely take him if you can!!!!

BERT LEVINE IS THE MAN!!!!!! do not listen to any of the bashing comments...this man is great. sure he goes off topic every now and then but he does everything in his power to make sure you pass his class. He goes above and beyond to reach out to his students to make sure that they are understanding the material. a bit unorganized but easy A!!!

Professor Levine is very nice, intelligent, a bit absent-minded but means well and cares about his undergraduates. Will help you to do well if you seek it. Lecture not mandatory but is sometimes helpful. He has a lot of insider knowledge about Congress.

He's a cool professor... Attendance is not mandatory but helpful when it comes to the exams. All you have to do is read the cases and you'll be fine. Show up to lectures and you'll hear some funny stories. Overall a good professor, not hard at all...

The class is not difficult, you should def get an A. Easy quizzes + 5 law briefs. I thought he was a great prof, extremely friendly, but I felt he had trouble teaching the intro course, he kinda got boring at times. I heard he's awesome in other classes-I would definitely take him again. But the TAs are what make the class.

BEST Seminar Professor EVER!!! He is funny and his class is extremely informative and helpful. he uses personal experience to relay issues. take home midterm and 1 final project...NO ESSAY!!!

law&politics. really funny and really knows what he's talking about. sit in the front rows to be able to hear him when he mumbles. goes off on tangents, but really emphasizes what you need to know for exams. must read. exams were somewhat difficult. i still dont know how to write a good brief. always makes office hours available for students.

funny guy, very approachable if you need help, rubs some people the wrong way by acting somewhat crass but its part of his sense of humor. for poli sci majors its an easy A b/c he tells you exactly whats on the exams and the class is pretty much the Supreme Court unit of an AP American Government class. if you have no gov background it can be hard.

He's the sweetest man ever! I got into a car accident literally two hours before our exam so I called him and told him and he was so worried and made sure that i'd get home safely- instead of stressing me out about how I was missing an exam. He's really a great professor- very funny and lively. I'd take a class with him again anyday. love him!!!

Interesting professor! Probably one of the better poly sci profs teaching at Rutgers. Really enjoyed his Seminar class, there is some required reading (one book written by him) but taking good class notes are the key to doing well in the class.

Levine is a great professor. Although hard to hear sometimes he has a love for the class and his students. He's funny, easy going, and understanding. Their isn't a lot of work, but of course a lot of reading. The tests are pretty easy as long as you're familiar with law and important cases. I definitely recommend him.

I've taken 3 of the 4 classes Levine teaches at Rutgers- he is phenomenal. I started with his 790:106 and it was tough, but so worth it. Do the reading, go to class and participate and he'll love you and you will do well. He is not tough if you do the reading and defend your arguments well on exams. If you're at all interested in Pol Sci, TAKE HIM!

Prof. Levine is an excellent man and brilliant legal mind. Although it may seem like it is a lot of work with the briefs and reading it DOES pay off when you realize just how much you have learned about the SCOTUS and the legal system in general. Grades are fair and he does account for the differences in TA's grading! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

funny guy, keeps lectures very interesting. he mumbles a lot and nobody can understand him at times, but he makes a joke about it. the exams are worded very tricky, but are mostly short answer/essays so its not too bad

Prof. levine is a good professor. the class itself was very interesting, which helped me in regards to studying and readings all the books which could be tedious and boring for others. the midterms arent easy but are not impossible. you have to read for the midterms and must understand the concepts in the books.

Def take Bert! he inspired me to go to law school cuz if this dumb funny dyslexic man can, i can! its basically 3 briefs but dont be scared theyre easy, black and white, 1-2 pages. I got an A and stopped going to class halfway through. hes funny too.

It's funny how people say there's so much work as if it's a negative. Of course there's a lot of work, you're at Rutgers University in a Poli Sci class. Levine is a great professor who brings a wide range of real word lobbying, congressional, and law experience in teaching his classes. His lectures are always interesting and I highly recommend him!

Very funny guy! Very smart and genuinely cares about his students. If you ever have an issue with a grade, reading or anything, he's more than happy to help. He expects a lot of his students but if you do the work, you will get A LOT out of his classes!

Levine is the best. Was a former lobbyist and definately knows how washington works. He definately knows what he is talking about and has a way of keeping students alert in class which is hard for me. Expects a lot of reading but its worth it in the end. He helped me figure out that I want to become a lobbyist.

took him for Public Opinion, very easy, he goes off on tangents and tells random stories all the time. midterm was basically a simple quiz, second midterm involved us going to eagleton and doing a survey poll on people over the phone. no papers.

had him for public opinion, very easy midterm, straightforward, skimmed the book and got an A. 2nd midterm is going to eagleton for polling and final was 10 questions 10 lines in the blue book max. simple easy A, stopped going to class after a while, he's pretty funny and very understanding, just mumbles a lot

Had him a few times already. Very knowledgeable man on how the system work in all forms of legislation and judiciary. Sit up front as he does tend to mumble. Exams are a breeze if you pay attention. Never bought a book. Good stories and tries to relate to students. Get ready for many O'Douls and CSPAN jokes; maybe an O'Douls Amber Wheat as a treat.

Bert is just a fantastic man. He is passionate about what he does, he cares about his students, and he really does his best to inspire you to care. He makes something as boring as law and turns it into a spirited lecture that nearly intimidates you. I wish I could take this man for every class.

Great class, best I had at Rutgers. Not overly easy but if you do the work you will do very well - he definitely wants students to get A's. Makes boring subject come to life, has real-world experience in lobbying. Great man too, understanding if u need it. Very good with athletes (understanding when I had to miss) but good with anyone really.

He doesn't always talk about the readings, but they show up on the exam. He is hilarious though, I love him!

This professor is hilarious. He is funny and keeps you interested in the lecture. Although he goes off topic a lot he is easy to understand and will help anyone if they need it. The tests might not be the easiest but the briefs aren't that hard to do for him. He is understanding, and it turned out to be a great class.

Levine was incredibly animated, very well spoken, and extremely concerned about the success of his students.

Very easy class, and the instructor will do anything for his students. Such a great guy!

He's a great man. Acts almost like a parental figure to his students. There's a lot of reading that doesn't necessarily get covered in class, but they're on exams. He's a hilarious guy and the assignments aren't all that hard to do if you just do exactly what he says. Got an A in the class and made me more interested in politics

Levine is one of the best professors i have had at Rutgers. Is really funny and keeps class interesting. You have 4 written briefs but only have to do three, they are a real easy grade. There is also 1 quiz, 1 test and then the final. Class is easy if you go to class and read the readings.

Professor Levine was the most helpful professor I had this semester. He has a wonderful sense of humor than endears students, including myself. He teaches the material and expects that we know it -- in that sense he also expected a lot out of us. I'm glad he attempted to make students think beyond the obvious.

Levine is a great guy and really cares about his students. He is a little boring but if can manage to pay attention in lecture the exams are simple. Don't bother buying any of the books or doing any of the reading that he "assigns".

Professor Levine's online class is fairly easy largely due to the structure of the class. 4 quizzes 2 midterms and 6 forum posts make it easy to manage work and do well. The lectures he posts are somewhat long but not unbearable. Put the work in and a good grade is almost guaranteed

RIP Prof Levine. Found out he passed away over the summer and while I took his class about a decade ago, I will always remember his legendary rant about never booing college players when the whole stadium booed the quarterback before Tom Savage off the field. Legend, RIP
