Dr. Meyer is easily one of the best professors I've had at USC. I'm the type of person who usually can barely pay attention in class, but Dr. Meyer actually makes class worth listening too. He is funny, kind, and I would recommend taking him if possible, no matter the class.

Easily the best professor ive ever had. His lectures are electric and you can tell he is really passionate in what he does. The exams and projects are graded very fairly and the work load is not overbearing. This class is an easy A while still learning a lot. He doesnt try to trick you or make you fail, genuinly wants all his students to do well

Well the class seems pretty easy but it's not. If you like to know what your grades are prior to final grade day forget it... and maybe even after that. Grades due 72 hours after final exams were not put in until over 5 days later. Grade consists of 6 assignments. One assignment was due in early October, was put in black board in early December.

Dr. Meyer is a ver y nice professor who cares a lot about his students. He is lecture heavy but is pretty energetic. Tests and papers are graded fairly easily, as no one should get anything lower than an A. He has assigned readings, but you don't have to do them as they are never asked about on tests. Would 100% recommend taking him.

Cannot stress how much I wish more professors were like him. His love and passion for the subject/teaching was very apparent and he is living proof of the fact that a professor can make or break a subject for you.

Dr. Meyer is really enthusiastic about his class, even in an asynchronous format. His lectures are a little long, but they're not boring. He has short weekly assignments, a few longer (about 2 pages) papers, 3 exams, and a final. All of these assignments are easy and don't really require that much effort. He does take a long time to grade things.

This is the 2nd class I've taken with Professor Meyer, and I can't say enough great things about him! It is evident how much he loves political science. His lectures are great; he always says hilarious things too! This class had 2 exams, 1 project (paper), and simple small assignments. He's the man! You won't regard taking Professor Meyer!!

One of the best professors here. im a bio major w no care of poli sci and still not only did well in the class but also found it very interesting. take home exams without lockdown browser, 3 mini assignments that are pass/fail (completion = pass), and 3 1-page paper assignments. no way not to get an A

Dr. Meyer is an amazing professor who is very passionate about what he teaches. The class is not difficult but I found myself extremely interested in the lectures he gave. Everybody should have a general understanding with how our government works. I highly doubt there is a professor better than him for this topic. Please take him.

TAKE HIM!!!!! He is so engaging and made it so easy and interesting to learn about the government when it can be boring. Very kind and prob the best lecture class i've ever taken (junior). There are 4 "larger assignments" but they are all 2 page's and more opinion based. Exams were taken in class but were NOT lockdown browser. TAKE HIMMMMMMMMMMM!!

He truly cared for his students. Had so many office hours available. Textbook really wasn't needed. 4 papers which are super short and then like 5 exams. His lectures were entertaining. Could not recommend more.

So so good. He understands that most people are just taking the class for credit. Class is so easy, you can do everything on your own time. He'll say you need the textbook, but you don't. All you have to do is come to class which is easy because his lectures are very interesting. Cannot recommend enough.

TAKE HIM FOR POLI 201!!! He is, hands down, the best professor I've had here. He is passionate about political science and makes the lectures so interesting. There are assignments throughout the semester, but aren't due till the end of the semester. The exams are really easy. They are online, not lockdown browser but in person. he's the best.

He was great, takes attendance every class, his exams arent too hard if you do the readings. $ Big assignments are due by the last class but you have the whole semester to do them so dont slack!

Professor Meyer is one of my favorite professors. His lectures are very entertaining and interesting. He makes it a point to listen to his students and take their feedback. The class is well balanced between tests and papers, so if you do badly on one test, it's not the end of the world. He is kind and wants to see you succeed.

Genuinely, Dr. Meyer has been my favorite professor. He is so understanding, and very good at communication. The class also really easy, as long as you half-way pay attention to lectures. And his lectures are worth listening to! Dr. Meyer is really funny and I highly, highly recommend!

he is probably the best professor Ive had- he cancels class kind of often but he does take attendance so make sure to go. Only like 3 small assignments and 4 big ones due at the end of the semester and you just have to ask 2 questions on the discussion board. Exams are super easy, on blackboard not lockdown

He's the best. All but one of our Exams were taken at home, the papers are not hard and he gives plenty of time to do, and his attendance policy is if you miss less than 5 classes you get extra credit. Very nice, and very engaging in lectures.
