Enlightening professor!

I took his class and then TA'd for him the following year. He really got me thinking. GREAT TEACHER!!!! Challenges your expectations. Makes you think.

Some people hate him, I LOVED HIM!!! He definitely gets you thinking. Pissed off sometimes, but pissed off is thinking. He is a real treasure. Everybody needs PSCI 110 for GE, take it from Dan!

Dan is great. He definitely gets you thinking. Sometimes I come out of that class madder than hell, but he forces me to think about things. He's a great teacher. I'd DEFINITELY recommend taking PSCI from him.

I LOVE DAN FAULK!!! He actually makes a student think without putting them down.

Speed-freak conspiracy theorist, acts like a cartoon, extremely intelligent and so fast he is sometimes hard to follow. You will never feel like you are smarter than he is, and you will NEVER get bored in his class.

super intelligent. he is my role model! very funny and makes you think. an excellent guy to learn from, but if you like any sort of order whatsoever, i wouldn't take the class. definitely sit in sometime though

amazing personality and zest.

well-versed in leftist politics, pompous behavior, extrememly outspoken, knowledgeable, humorous, scatterbrained (and yet so focused when caught in a rant), clever, but hey, it's only the second day of class.

Highly amusing! You never knew what he was going to do next, so you sort've fear for your life. Sometimes he's hard to follow, but then you catch onto the connections he was making later on in the lecture. It was the highlight of my tues/thurs afternoons.

yay dan. dont take him too seriously.most of the time he's saying things just to get people fired up and thinking. real devil's advocate. pissed me off so much so that i now major in poli sci. dont trust him though... he's always up to something...

Dan can be hard to follow...and he is def bias...but that doesn't mean you can't learn from him. He's not saying you have to agree...in fact his whole thing is about thinking for yourself. Great teacher.

super fun and eye-opening class. everyone should take a class like this at least once in their college career.

Every student should experience his government class. He is so very entertaining and makes you think about things which are not presented in everyday life.

Absolutely the most interesting, entertaining, and cooolest teacher i ever had at Humboldt. He teaches you useful stuff and is an easy grader. All he wants you to do is give stuff an honest try. A++ teacher.

Sit in on a class and see for yourself. This man is absolutely amazing.

This calss was a requirement as an AI class but i am glad i took it. He makes you open new doors and question new things. The class is worthwile.

No text books, no tests, what more can you ask for?

Kick ass teacher, cool to butt heads with. If you like classes that push envelopes than take this one.

Step out of the box....way out...

I didn't want to take this class originally, but he's great and really opened up my eyes about the political world.

Great professor. Intimidating at first but as long as you are clear on the expectations, (or if you ask alot of questions for clarity) and have some common sense you should do well, not to mention learn alot. He will force you to look at things differently. Take this class.

Dan Faulk is a crazy man, he will make you take a second look at the world around you. go to class its 5 percent of your grade but thats the the point of going

An excellent lecturer. The most interesting lectures I have had in a class. He is a bit disorganized and I hate group projects (which there are 3 of), but NO tests. He definitely opens your mind up to things that you had never thought of/questioned before. A hard grader, so you should take it cr/no credit. I looked forward to his lectures.

You will love him or hate him. He is extremely biased, but it is a perspective you will get few other places. He discusses obscure but important things. I found him incredibly interesting, engaging and thought-provoking. Take the opportunity to talk to him one-on-one in his office, it's worth a lot. Least boring poli-sci class ever. I loved him.

Faulk is pretty freakin amazing. The class was really engaging, hes a bit biased but its an interesting perspective to have. I loved the class and definitely recommend it.

He is actually a really awesome teacher. He really teaches what is going on in the government, and you learn really interesting things in that class. He is really nice about giving you a better grade, I wrote a poem for my final and he raised my grade from a C to a B, so don't be afraid to be creative in his class.

I must not be a "true" academic. Great prof with great ways to make you think.

Really interesting. A class you enjoy going to. Will totally change the way you think. Don't wait till the last minute to do the second project. Enjoyed the projects made an awesome friend.It is amazing how you will start to apply everything to in class to daily life. I totally recommend this class.

Amazing teacher. Seriously, if you're easily offended though, don't take the class. He likes to get the students passionate by relating the material to us and focusing on the negative aspects of government, which obviously makes some people uncomfortable. He'll really get you to think. Furthermore, he's hilarious. You'll look forward to class.

By far the most interesting and intriguing class I've had in school so far, and I'm not limiting that to my last 3 yrs in college. Makes you question things that are VERY important, tells students things the TV won't tell you. PSCI 110 is req'd anyway, TAKE DAN's CLASS!! Very animated which keeps students entertained while being educated. A+++

Dan is pretty much awesomeness personified. If you're confused or offended by his ramblings, go to his office hours! He is very willing to discuss what's bothering you, and very helpful with clarifying what he's looking for in the projects!

Very insightful and charming. This isn't a class where you won't learn anything.

umm. i dont really like his class that much cuz his theories are kinda out there. although he doesnt give out any homework. he only requires 3 projects. mannn they require ALOT of thinking.

AMAZING class. The most entertaining hour and 20 minute class I have EVER had. I am rarely bored. Plus, NO MIDTERMS OR FINALS! no tests at all! Although the projects he requires are group projects ( kinda annoying) and pretttty difficult. Makes you think though. love it. everyone should take this class.

I dont concent to a search....Good times.. Insightful person at times. Good Class Overall, group projects kinda wack...

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD!!! HE IS LIKE NO OTHER TEACHER AND HE DOESN'T SUGAR COAT ANYTHING. HE TELLS IT LIKE IT IS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT TO HEAR IT OR BELIEVE IT. IF YOU WANT TO READ THE LIES IN A TEXTBOOK, DONT TAKE HIM. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN WHAT GOVT IS REALLY ABOUT, TAKE HIM AT ALL COST!! LOVED IT!!! :)

Dan Faulk is hot... Period. And he makes you want to learn

Dan Faulk is a provocative man, in the best way possible. I often left class with anxious energy to take action, understanding that the nature of that action, whether it be productive or destructive, was completely my choice. His lectures stimulated me in such a way that left me thirsty to do my own research--to keep on learning, more and more.

Dan Faulk is an incredibly interesting lecturer, his knowledge of his subject is practically encyclopedic and he has a great sense of humor. It can be difficult to predict what he is looking for in his project. However, if you take the time to talk to him about the projects he is very helpful.

Excellent teacher! All his lectures tie into the projects to give you a complete view of the system. Some would say hes crazy but hes only bringing energy to the room, he wants people to get fired up and actually work towards change. If you do the work than you have nothing to worry about. Ask for clarification on project instructions. Go to class!

Awesome.

Prepair to be rewired, and enjoy it. One of the greatest experiences of my college career. This class was a GE and I thought it was going to be a drag, Go to class, it's worth it.

Most unforgettable teacher I've ever had and probably ever will have. He teaches in character, sort of like Steven Colbert does his show in character. Lectures are incredibly entertaining. If something he says makes you angry or you think he's on a tangent, he's probably making a point. Don't take anything personally.

First I was really nervous because I did not think I would like the instructor. If you actually go to class you will totally get him and where he is coming from. Great Instructor. Take this freshmen year

I put off taking Political Science 110 until senior, that how much a didn't care for politics and institutions, now I wish I would've taken Dan's class freshman year, I would've minored in political science. His class is extraordinarily interesting. He teaches in a proactive and fun way. Most importantly, his class makes you think.

It's been 2 years since I took his class but he's just one of those guy's you'll never forget.He is able to connect with his students in a comedic way and inspires them. It's teachers like this that make me want to stay in school, wish there were more like him.

Great Professor! The class is challenging but that is how it is designed. Conspiracy theorist or not, it makes you address ideas you haven't before. Well done Faulk!

Anyone who gives Dan a bad review is either afraid for their egos being smashed by his brilliant political theory, or frustrated by his high standards and never went to his office hours. Just go and ask him what he wants, and he will tell you exactly what you need to do to get the grade you want. Unfortunately for some, this requires THINKING!!!!!!

While you had to actually prepare for this class Dan did an amazing job of opening the classes consciousness and really has us exploring our government.

Dan finds ways to connect the class content to our lives outside of school. Not an easy class, but if you do the work + respect the syllabus, you will do well. Don't take everything he says too seriously. Students that hate him are not use to how challenging the class + concepts are. They cannot handle the truth. DO NOT TAKE THE WEDNESDAY CLASS.

There are so many of the above I wanted to check! Dan Faulk is an amazing teacher. There is no way to take his class without thinking. He opens your eyes to the 21st century. There was so much to learn and it was frustratingly hard at times, however, It was incredibly rewarding. Dan can ignite a passion for action. He is a gifted.

I took a class from him in 1999, before this website even existed. As I was browsing through my Alma Mater I immediately recognized the name! What a pleasure it was to take his class. Completely revolutionized the way I think. 15 years later, I still think his PSCI upper division GE is one of the components of what higher ed is all about.

This guy is one of the most amazing people I've ever met. It should be mandatory to take his class, it really opens your eyes. Attendance is totally mandatory, but still worth it to go. Make sure you find a group of people who won't lead you to failure because the group projects are the graded part of the class. 10/10

He is an amazing professor, but be prepared to ask questions. If you don't understand something ASK HIM. He will help you, especially if he knows that you care. I would recommend doing the extra credit project. It will help your grade, plus its fun if you're into it. TALK TO HIM OUTSIDE OF CLASS. Don't let yourself get behind, and go to lecture.

Dan was one of the best teachers I've ever had! His humor and satire are on point, the work isn't too difficult, but he's made me think like so few others have. Please, if you have any choice, take this class! And GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS

As intense and terrifying as Dan Faulk may be, he does an exceptional job of challenging your perception about our governmental, societal, and economic institutions. His class WILL alter your philosophies and knowledge about the world we live in, though whether that is for better or for worse is entirely subjective.

Amazing professor and great guy even if it doesn't seem like it at first. He offends pretty much everyone at some point, but he's usually being sarcastic. His class is not hard if you go to his office hours. Getting an A is easy if you remember that EVERYTHING IS NEGOTIABLE. Don't give him dark chocolate unless he has to re-grade something.

He's a mad genius basically. But best teacher i've ever had. HIGHLY recommend

At first I thought the guy was nuts. He seems to be very intense and I think he just does it to scare students away. Throughout the semester, I realized that he just wanted us to be more well-informed of our rights as citizens. He's a funny, dude. You won't ever get bored in class but get ready to do lots of work

You will never meet a professor like this. His lectures are extremely interesting (most of the time) and the way he teaches is something to get used to. He makes class fun and intriguing but I won't lie, his projects are intense. He means well and has good intentions. I strongly recommend, ONLY if you can handle a challenge.

I signed up to political science like many of you to get the GE done with. Yes, his lectures are long but they aren't boring. His way of teaching is unique and refreshing. This class has taught me more about the real world than ANY other class I have taken in the pass 3 years. It is difficult, you will have to read some but no textbooks!

He's a boss

Despite what you see on here, Dan Faulk's class is seriously amazing. It is truly a class that makes you question a lot and really think critically. Dan is a crazy man who will make you laugh and pretty much says anything uncensored. All grades are from group projects, go to lectures because he will explain everything.

Dan, Dan the man, not too hard but not too easy. Find the right members for group projects and you'll pass

Not your average lecturer. He's kind of a mad-man, but in a good way. Faulk cares more about your actual learning than about making you jump through pointless hoops.

Dan Faulk teaches you to think. Absolutely never a dull day in his class! He has so many reviews for a reason: He's one of HSU's most noteworthy professors. Yes; you actually have to use your brain to pass his class--welcome to college, friends! :)
