He's good looking in that burned out hippy way. Really got me interested in the subjects. He's laid back, but maybe to biased on his lectures.

His class has a left wing bias and he gets off topic very easily. His tests are not too hard but he isn't always clear about what is on it. He is the only good Poli Sci teacher at Grossmont. If you are looking for a neutral teacher try somewhere else.

good teacher, reasonable and has a realistic understanding of college life.

easy tests much more org. fun class

Best class and teacher at grossmont. Hands down. Easy. Go to class, take notes, pay attention, and do not read.

Bryan's a good teacher. Others mentioned his left leanings are wrong about his unwillingness to allow debate. I know the reviewer just before me was not in class quite a few times. He also said some ridiculous things and expected the professor and the rest of the class let it pass. That student won't learn anything on AM radio or by watching FOX ne

Very helpful and non biased which is interesting for the type of class. absolutely wonderful.

Very interesting class and a fun guy. Not much work other than the tests and papers. Knows what he is talking about.

Easy Teacher. I didn't buy the book and still passed. One paper. You must take really good notes because he doesn't write anything on the board. If you write down everything he says, you'll do fine.

I always enjoyed being in his class, never boring. Interesting and funny professor. Just study for the tests and you should be fine.

If you're like me and don't like politics, Bryan will change that. He makes the class interesting. Don't be afraid to have him clarify or go over any subject matter, he will do so willingly if you just ask. Don't really need the book, but if you miss a lecture you might want to use it. Tests are easy and right off lectures, use the study guide.

Very easy class. You really do not need the book. Tests are strictly based on his lectures. It is true he has a left wing bias, but he is pretty good at keeping it quiet (if the hippy hair-style didn't give him away). VERY easy grader. I recommend him for any student looking to expand their knowledge and help their GPA at the same time!

Good teacher, very nice. Not too much busy work, mainly just lectures. Tests arn't too bad, as long as you study. I liked him a lot, except I found his lectures quite boring. He tends to ramble and not go over enough in one lecture. He only tests on what he lectures though, so take him!

This class seemed to drag. He does lecture a lot so if you miss a day of class, you better make a friend. He lectures from his notes and if you ask a question further in depth he doesn't have answers. The tests aren't too difficult just study your notes.

Brian is a better than average instructor. He has a good grasp of the material and is well prepared. He has actual lesson plans and that's unique. Brian is supposedly a left wing liberal but it wasn't that obvious to me. He never stood on a soapbox. It is too bad that so many of you are lazy fools just trying to avoid work in college. Brian will te

One of the most leniant professors i've had at Grossmont. Very down to earth and understanding. Tests are somewhat difficult if you don't study. But all in all, a great professor to have...should definetly think of taking him!

he's one of the nicest teacher by far.well this term is not ended yet so I'm yet to see what the outcome is but he seems like a genuine and helpful man. I love his pony tail too! he's guapo.

Bryan Jennings is a great political science teacher. He is fun and has lively lectures. This class was challenging and I learned so much about comparative politics.

great teacher with a small class atmosphere. surprisingly not much left wing bias. good examples and stories. nice guy. tests are m/c and short answer. pretty simple and general. easy A or B.

Mr. Jennings is super nice but that doesn't mean you don't have to study. It's no easy A by any means. I'm an A student and I had to study well for his tests. His class is very relaxed, he's extremely helpful and understanding. I just enjoy his class because of his cool demeanor. I highly recommend Mr. Jennings.

laid back lol i though i was going 2 fail bc i only want few days but come off with B+ Very easy and nothing to worry about. All lecture is in book or if you going to class u dont need books all u need is the lectures 3 test each 35multiple choose and 15 short essays, follow along during lectures.

I thought he was a great teacher. He was very laid back, and made lectures fun by talking about things that interested us. Really funny also. His tests are not hard at all, just look at your notes and you'll be fine. Also, do NOT buy the stupid dvd/book, I never once used it and couldn't do a buy-back. I suggest everyone take his class

love him, he is the best teacher, you will learn a lot and have fun doing it. take him and you will not be sorry. GREAT TEACHER. no homework just two tests and one final, one reaseacher paper. it is not a hard class

Jennings is by far the best political science teacher at Grossmont. You don?t need the book because the tests come directly from the lecture notes, so you have to attend class regularly. While this might be hard for some, Jennings makes his lectures very entertaining. You can?t go wrong taking one of his classes!

Great teacher.EASY class, he sticks to the most important points and gives you a great summary. Do not miss any of his classes, listen to what he says, and take notes. If you do that it's an easy A. The questions on the tests are from the notes he gives you.

He is very straightforward and easy to understand and points out some interesting stuff. He wants his job to be easy I guess. He is funny also which makes it fun to go to class. You MUST go to class. Don't buy any book just go to class take notes and match your notes with the study guide and you'll get an A. He can be offensive sometimes.

I love this instructor. He is funny and makes the subject very interesting. He is very helpful and points out important points for the tests. Took him in the intercession and I didnt mind going to class everyday. He is cute too in a hippie sort of way!

Good Professor. He is smart and nice. Easy-going guy. chill. Take notes and pass the class. He makes it interesting.

Funny, helpful, easygoing. Tests are straightforward, study guides given, makes test questions that a lot got wrong extra credit. Reading not necessary, just take good notes. Lectures clear, but he doesn't update his lecture notes for current events as often as he should. Definitely recommended.

Wonderful instructor. Very organised and returns assignments quickly. Amusing lectures. The tests were easy, but I studied for them. Those who didn't study did not do well. Thoroughly enjoyable class. I am taking him again for more political science in the future!

Easy class, test come right from the power point notes and you can print them off from his blackboard...Easy class, just study the lecture notes for two days before each test and you will do well...I got a B-

This class was sooo easy. The person that went to a UC school is obviously an idiot then. Three test, one paper, and attend political economy week and write about it. All you have to do for the tests is read over your notes and you will get an A. Again, this class was SOOOOOO easy.

Wonderful class. No text required, tests from lectures. Simply worded questions, one paper required. Have taken him before; classes are consistent and very educational!

Jennings is a nice guy and well meaning but his teaching style is lazy. His power points are outdated and seem as if they were made for a middle school aged class. There is almost no open discussion between students at all. No group projects or anything interactive. Book was never used and was a complete waste of money.

BEST TEACHER EVER I HAD!! He is fair grader. Papers are easy. He doesn't have any bias or extreme thought about politics. I enjoyed this class a lot!!

Jennings is one of the best Polysci teachers at Grossmont. But be warned, he definitely a big liberal who can be very critical of the US. But he is also honest, which can be very refreshing in a teacher. Good lectures, no hw, don't buy the book, and fair tests. Also pretty funny. All in all a good guy.

Great teacher. He tells it like it is. Go to class and be a sponge. You'll learn amazing thing from this professor and class discussions.

Pros- straight forward, good attitude, knows his stuff, easy to understand. Cons- teaching is done off power point. Not a lot of interaction, some info can be vague at times, tests sometimes have little relevance to study guide.

Oh my gosh, Bryan is such a nice guy, really laid back and easy to understand. If you paid attention in high school government, this class will be a breeze for you. He just supplements your understanding and bolsters what you already know. I highly recommend Professor Jennings to anyone who is looking to enjoy themselves and learn at the same time.

Intro to Cali Gov't & Politics. EASY, EASY CLASS! Attendance is not required and all the info on the tests is based on his slides that he posts on Blackboard. Doesn't really "teach" just reads the slides every class. Have a couple papers that you can complete in a couple hours. Offers A LOT of extra credit! Always responds to e-mails! EXCELLENT

Really great teacher! Really funny and makes class interesting. Take notes, dont buy the book and he is an easy A. Also, all you ladies out there, he is smoking hot ha!

It's a MUST TAKE teacher!! Easy class if you pay attention to his lectures which are powerpoints that he also posts on blackboard so it's all class review! one 3-5pg paper and a couple of SUPER easy assignments, test are multiple choice and short answer. I highly recommend this professor if you wanna get a good grade! plus he's HOT ;)

Fairly easy class, and super chill professor. He's cool if you don't want to really learn a whole lot. He's not so great if you're one of those people who take school too seriously.

Professor Jennings made Political Science very interesting and he is up-to-date informed which is refreshing and exciting. He is relaxed in persona but don't let he other reviews confuse you - the tests are challenging. You must study and memorize to achieve an A. He is very specific (17 points) must be addressed on the research paper. Enjoyed!

Excellent Teacher. Helpful with answering questions. Humorous about with profession and the field of politics. Very realistic on the view points of Politicians and government. Best political class one can take

I love this guy! Very funny, clear, helpful, interesting lectures.

Prof. Jennings knows his stuff about Comparative Politics. DO NOT buy the book. All info for tests are on the power points.However, I recommend studying for the tests, they are very detailed. Also, his power points are not up to date, which may require more research to find information about current leaders. If you study hard, you should get an "A"

I love Mr. Jennings! He is a great professor, helpful and his tests are exactly what he teaches. The people who complain about him are lazy, this guy knows his stuff and always answers questions.

Really cool and funny professor. His humor is pretty hit or miss but funny guy overall. He is very clear about what you need to know and do. Definitely knows and is passionate about his subject. A few easy assignments and 2 midterms...also offers some extra credit. I would recommend him to anyone.

I've taken this professor THREE times, it's easy if you pay attention, and he's a laidback, nice guy. He reviews power points, discusses what you need to know, what you should know, and what you might want to know, and tests come right off these talking points. He'll assign one paper all semester. Welcomes discussion from all views.

Jennings is an awesome teacher and he doesn't make you buy the textbook! Just show up to class and take note!

Jennings is great. A local legend. He is very fair and easily accessible via email and office hours. I missed like 7 classes and still got an A-.

Mr. Jennings is a very nice guy but not too specific when it comes to what to study for the test. The study guide is basically the power-points on paper and the power-points don't say much. If you go to class just listen to what he says because that's what will be on the test, not the power-point.

I failed all 3 tests and passed with a C,ea however, i did put in effort to max out my extra credit opportunities and asked many questions in class. He's not too strict on attendance. The course is difficult if you have no prior Political Science knowledge.

Mr. Jennings does not care if you come to class, yet I highly recommend doing so. His lectures are exactly what's going to be on the test, and I thought that they were fairly interesting. I actually learned a lot in the class, and only did poorly after skipping a bunch of classes in the middle of the semester.

His lectures can get really boring, BUT majority of his tests are from his lectures and PowerPoints. Listen to his lectures then you could possible do better on his tests. He's a really cool dude, really laid back, gives extra credit. I used to hate PoliSci but now it's really interesting to m

Jennings is hilarious and he's a great professor. You don't need the textbook just take good notes and you'll be fine.

Professor Jennings has very good teaching ethics. He is straight forward! Clear on his expectations. Responds to e-mails in a timely matter. He looks over papers and gives advice how to improve, thus making it impossible to fail. Most importantly he lectures what he tests on. No need to buy the text! Pay attention, take notes and participate an A

In Prof. Jennings' 8-week online course. No book required. All PowerPoints he created that makes learning political science interesting and more digestible. The class is easy and straight-forward, and I've learned a ton. Weekly discussion boards, a few exams, and one paper. Highly recommend! The class is stress-free but also very fulfilling.

TAKE HIS CLASS YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

My favorite Grossmont teacher. Very funny and energetic. He tells you everything you need to know to get an A, his Power Points are the best study guide for the exams. would highly recommend.

Love him! He is funny and keeps you laughing though out his lecture as best as he can with such a boring subject in my opinion. Just one paper and 2 tests, lowest grade gets dropped and multiple online quizzes but you can do at home with the notes.

Take this class with Professor Jennings! Class topics are interesting. Clear expectations.

Professor Jennings is a fun teacher for Political Science. Three tests, drops lowest, six quizzes, drops lowest, one paper, and participation make up the grades. He gives everyone 35 / 50 base score for participation, so prepare to be engaged if you want more points. There is some extra credit (2.5%) and he does curve exams sometimes. A good pick.

Prof. Jennings is awesome! 3 exams & 6 quizzes, lowest of each gets dropped, as well as a research paper on a political theorist, which he will gladly look over if you have a rough draft done early. No HW. There are also 10 points of extra credit. No required textbook and the quizzes and exams come straight from the lecture/powerpoints. Take him!

I am glad that I was able to take Political science with Professor Jennings. Many of the quizzes and discussions are based off the powerpoints, so reading through them will help you to get a good grade. There is only one paper for the online class, although, the topic choices made it an easy paper to write. Overall, great class!

The reviews speak for themselves. No homework, quiz and exam answers come straight from his powerpoints, one paper which he grades quite leniently. But my favorite thing about him is that he respects his students even if he disagrees with their beliefs; a trait which is hard to find in a political science professor. A truly wonderful guy.

Second time with this Professor and still like his style and teaching approach. Very easy to follow, though he can get off on a tangent. Pay attention to the PPT and you will do fine.

Nice guy. Book ended up being unnecessary (quizzes mostly from lectures), but it was cheap anyways. Not a lot of assignments, quizzes aren't tough. Discussion assignments can be time-consuming but there's not a lot of work in the class.

Easiest thing ever. dont buy the book or even rent it. you wont use it.

Took this class over intercession & was worried at first, but turned out to be an easy class with amazing lecture slides he provided. One research paper was required, 2 midterms, 1 final, 6 quizzes, & discussion posts, which were not that bad. He drops the lowest quiz & midterm if you have turned in all assignments on time! Extra credit was given

Jennings is what I would call an ideal professor. He's the type of teacher who strives to really push his students to actually understand the material and learn how to apply that knowledge outside of class as well. He might come across as intimidating but I can assure you this guy is the opposite of a jackass and genuinely wants you to succeed.
