Lots of people seem to enjoy this class, just not me. The loud rock music gets a little bit... unsavory after a while, and you're expected to memorize a lot of tiny details for the tests (no multiple choice.) There's also a presentation worth a large chunk of your grade with little leniency on grading, so look out for that. Lots of debating.

Great Professor! Make government interesting and appealing by having random music play during lectures, plenty of youtube videos and funny articles.

There is no doubt that Muro is one of my very favorite professors at EFSC. I learned so much about politics, the economy, public speaking, and debating. The class met in the evening for over two hours but the time always went so fast. He is funny, uses a lot of technology in class, and answered my email very quickly. I really, really like him.

There is one big project that is a big chunk of your grade (Gordon Rule) and a quiz for every chapter. Study the little stuff, it will be on the quiz.

Prof. Muro was a decent professor. The class consisted of dropbox paper one week and a discussion the next. You had to be engaged in the discussions and respond numerous times for full credit.
