Extremely intelligent when it comes to Government. Can answer just about any question you have. Can be funny but be ready to get serious at times. Fairly unbiased when it comes to his own political beliefs being shown through his teaching, but if you pay attention you can see it. Don't take him if you aren't prepared to work and participate.

Dr. Barwick is top notch, but you HAVE TO WORK FOR IT. He won't just give out an A or B. Studying for this class was a clear requirement, as is for more of upper division electives. He offers a group workshop on fridays usually if something is due or for an upcoming test, going to this helped me drastically. I highly suggest you go to them. A+!

Dr. Barwick's gender law and policy class is academically a rigorous course. However, he is hilarious and it is a great class to take if you major in political science and are interested in that sort of thing. You will use the book religiously. You will also write a lot.

Everything that we were tested on came straight from the lecture, so all you have to do is pay attention. He is very clear about what he wants from students. Not an easy a, but not murder.

In this class you will not need the book, but it is hopeful to get it. You should the rent the book if you dont have a friend that has one. Also this class will be a small class so take advantage of it only being 3 or 5 other students in the class. Go to class because missing one class can throw you off because you need practice with the work.
