this prof hates white males that are idiots, otherwise he makes you think

Has strong viewpoints, but is no bigot. The other reviewers simply cannot accept his liberal viewpoint. Take his classes if you want have your preconceptions challenged.

A highly influential and informative professor who knows what he's talking about. With his experience, it's hard to NOT know what you're talking about. His views are strong, just as his reasons for having them. His ability to make you think is one of t

Dr. Hewan forces you to think for yourself and develop your own opinions. He challenged a statement I made during a debate--but I knew he would and prepared myself to defend the statement. He doesn't let you "get by" but instead makes you lear

Dr. Hewan always has time to help a student and really wants students to learn. He opens your eyes to the fact that their are different opionions in the world. A great teacher.

While at NKU I thought he was very harsh towards students and his view points were somewhat radical for me. Since leaving the area, I can totally understand where he is coming from and admire him for staying and teaching there and trying to open some eyes

i got an A in both of his classes. lots and lots of reading. argue with him, it is fun. if you can represent yourself and you agree to disagree, you will have his respect. pay attention to his lectures. both classes, 3 tests, all essay all from lectur

if you cannot handle tough courses avoid like plague. If you are open minded and love to be challenged, there is no better professor at NKU

He is one of the best professors at this university. He has real integrity. He isn't afraid to confront ignorance and bigotry and call it by name! Not a course for cowards - a great course for serious scholars.

Dr. Hewan is a good professor with the traditional foreign way of teaching. In US, most of the students dont know their own geography, cannot speak their own language, let alone their foreign policy in other countries. Dr. Hewan tries to enlighten people, but ignorant students who are brainwashed by

His classes are difficult but you certainly learn a lot. He is upfront about his biases and does he does not expect everyone to think the same things he does. He is only rude if the student starts it and he is always willing to help with difficult parts of the content.

This is an intelligent man and we could all take a page out of his book, be open minded and you will learn here, more than the course but real values. Also, he can be a funny guy. But if you do not prepare, the tests can be a "anaconda". I a white male recommend this class!!!

Think you are educated and have an open mind? Think again! Dr. Hewan’s classes are mind blowing for those who are willing to come out of the security of American ignorance. Yes he’s challenging! We need that in order to grow. College isn’t about sliding by; it is about opening yourself to a hig

If you have always attended college at NKU, yeah you probably would think Dr. Hewan class is very hard because you have to WORK and UNDERSTAND to get the grade. As a visiting student, (also attended UK and Xavier) this was one of my easiest courses. Sorry to all of you that were challenged! Me=A

Dr Hewan is certainly not afraid to delve into important and controversial issues that were relevant to the class and our lives outside of the classroom. While my opinions did not mesh with his, discussions were always kept on an intelligent level, producing interesting arguments.

I love Clinton Hewan. He is a good man.

This man rocked my world! His class makes you think, and I understand that that is hard for some people, especially the ones who gave him a bad rating...It doesn't matter if you agree with him or not, you just need facts to back up your opinions and he is fine. Use some intelligence for once, and this class will be a blast!

You have to read, if you think you are going to get away w/not doing anything you are wrong. He is a challenging teacher and you have to get past his rough exterior. You may not like what he has to say but he's got facts to back it up. Be prepared to work your butt off, ask lots of questions and you have to agree w/his view to pass.

He is a great man. The problem is everyone goes into his class w/ an ethnocentric view and thinks he is bias, but the truth is they're not willing to learn. I learned a great deal from this man. He is a challenging professor, but you will take a lot w/ you after taking his course. Besides whoever said college was supposed to be easy?

dr. hewan expects his students to think. nothing more, nothing less. if your willing to listen, he's willing to teach. i wish more teachersr were like dr. hewan at NKU

This class was fairly difficult but it opened my eyes to new ideas. Hewan emphasizes reading and thinking for yourself, but if you are looking for an easy class I suggest you take a different professor.

I'm 28, almost 29. I transfered universities (to University of Kentucky) and graduated back in 1998. Partly b/c of Hewan and other inspiring professors, I embraced the outside world, launching business and residing in three continents. Hewan continues to be one of the major positive influences in my scholastic and career developments.

Dr. Hewan is a smart guy and has strong views that offend close minded republicans. He is not afraid to tell the truth at a very conservative school and if you take his class you will learn alot. Take notes and study those and your good to go for an A. If you dont take notes dont even show up to the exam.

Great professor very approachable. Not as tough as he likes to think he is. Fact that so many are talked out of taking his class makes class size very cosy indeed. I enjoy listening to his views although I don't always agree. Very knowledgable and interesting. Expects a lot but isn't that what education is all about anyway?

Dr. Hewan is an excellent professor and scholar who I would recommend to anyone, but be forewarned, you will work HARD in this class. He's always prepared for his lectures and does an excellent job teaching those willing to listen. I had no interest in this class before taking it, but I soon changed thanks to Dr. Hewan. Great professor!

Dr. Hewan could be the best professor at NKU. He is straight forward and honest, and he really lets em have it...whoever deserves it, that is. He is tough, but fair, and you will learn a lot about the world from him.

I love Dr. Hewan! He is an interesting character. I have enjoyed his classes. He is very straightforward: 2 essay test straight from notes and a ten page paper.

Hewan is ok. he WILL let you know how he feels about things, and WILL "highly recommend" about a million books to the class since he reads constantly. overall, i liked him although i think his grading is highly debatable. on one essay test i got a C. the next essay i studied the same amount and gave the same quality essay and got an A. why was

I had NO interest in politics before taking this class. Dr. Hewan is very interesting...he has many life experience stories of being an Jamaican Ambassador for over 15 years. All he does is lecture besides the stories. I took 30-40 pages of notes for EACH exam. He will not give study sheets, says he teaches to learn, not to test.You will STUDY HARD

He is a wonderful professor! We often talk about rascism and he sheds light on so many things that many people are not aware of. He is very passionate and he brings up controversial issues. if you are interested in politics and learning the secrets that the media hides from ppl then take this guy. but many intolerant ppl cannot stand him

I stayed long enough to get a 98% on the first test. But the constast racism, twisting around of information, and disrespectful nature towards students was too much. I had to meet with him and the department chair to recieve a refund of my tuition for the course. Even during this meeting he continued to insult me and acted as a child. WASTE OF TIME

I really enjoyed this class, but don't recommend this for students who don't want to but any effort into college. You will get an education in this class, even if its nothing more than being introducted to another point of view.

LIBERAL BUT GOOD..

Want to learn? Take Dr. Hewan. Willing to read? Take Dr. Hewan. Ready to hear truth without the filters used by most professors for fear of being punished? Take Dr. Hewan. If you are too weak minded or caught up in the dillusions fed to us by the capitalist, ratings based media. This guy isn't for you. This professor is firm but fair.

i love professor hewan. i've taken his class twice now. he may be one of the most difficult professors, but after finishing his class, you will have a better understanding of the world. I highly recommend his class for anyone who is willing to open up to another point of view.

No, he is not easy (should a college course be easy)and he really is not difficult to understand. It is not that he does not welcome other viewpoints, but you have to be willing to respect his at the same time. This guy has been a diplomat to 3 different countries, if really take in his class, he has a lot to offer. So, try harder students!

Dr. Hewan was my mentor for my Honors Paper. I learned more from his classes then any other class on campus. You will work hard but isn't that what college is about. I took 4 or more classes from him and earned all A's and we didn't see eye to eye on anything. Be educated in your conversation with him and you will be fine.

I LOVE Dr. Hewan! Yes he is very hard and challenging but if you go to college you should be open minded and ready to work hard. HE is very willing to help you if he sees you put the effort in your studies. He forces students to think critically and see the world as it really is. If you want to learn and get good use out of your money TAKE him.

Okay Dr. Hewan is not as crazy as some of these reviews make him sound! If anything he is crazy funny! But he does have his moments were he makes you feel uncomfortable, but he is only trying to prove a point! He isn't doing it because he hates America or White people! This guy has done more with one life that most do with three! So listen to him1!

He was challenging which I appreciated. He wants you to accept his bias as fact. That's my complaint.

THIS IS NOT AN EASY CLASS!!! Everyone should take this. He is not rude but he will make you feel uncomfortable. He will not single you out or anything like that. Hard work but well worth it. An absolutely brilliant professor
