Such a great class to come to. Interesting discussion all night long that makes you forget the time passing by. I learned so much about politics in his class! And he has a great way of dividing up your grade into several different projects so you can always redeem yourself.
The most amazing / inspiring teacher I've had at Laguardia. Take this professor.
Need an A? Take his class. This professor is super awesome. I can tell you that, you will never get hard time in his class.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROF TO BOTH PPL THAT DON'T LIKE POLITICS BECAUSE HE WILL MAKE IT INTERESTING AND TO PEOPLE THAT LOVE POLITICS HES AWESOME AS WELL VERY VERY EASY GOING AND HES VERY SMART THERE'S NOTHING THIS PROF DOESN'T KNOW YOU LEARN ABOUT EVERYTHING IN HIS CLASS AND HES THE FAIREST GRADER TAKE HIM HES GREAT
GREAT PROF! HE IS REALLY HELPFUL! HIS MID-TERM IS LONG, 3 SEPARATE ESSAYS, BUT HE COVERS THE ALL MATERIAL.
the best professor ever.. his class is great.. take him and learn to love politics.
Best professor ever! I love the way he teaches, No blackboard, No power points. Straight up student to teacher conversations about politics. Take his class you will love it.
THE BEST PROFESSOR I'VE HAD AT LAGCC. You learn so much in his class and he's a very good grader. Just show up and participate in class! I wish he taught more courses than the 101 class. He actually got me to enjoy politics. NO TEXTBOOK NEEDED TOO!
He is, by far, one of the BEST Professors I ever had. Great lectures and anyone who gets to take him is extremely fortunate. He keeps class interesting. He is very engaging and charismatic. Loved his class!!!!!!!!!
The best professor at LaGuardia Community College. he covers everything and made me love politics and made it so easy for me to passed his class with a high grade.
this professor is great. he taught the history of politic is so easy cause he used example of the present so you can understand. he makes you think about the pro's and con's of everything and then you can really make your personal idea out of politics. I would like to take more classes with him. EXCELLENT TEACHER. HE MAKES YOU WORK BUT IS FUN.
I love the way he interacts with his students and he know his stuff really well. I'm a lot more interested in politics now than I ever was. Take him!
Machi Versano:Professor Hill was an excellent, charismatic, knowledgable and educating teacher. strongly recommend to keep him at the school, preferably as a full time professor since his knowledge, methods and ways of deliver were the best I've got in LaGuardia so far, and I'do not stand alone with this view.
One of the best professors. Thank you for making school fun!
Wonderful professor. Probably one of my favorites in my entire academic career. His teaching method is brilliant as it gets students involved in the process and pushes them to reach conclusions through logic instead of just reading from a book. Great guy too, willing to work to help you succeed. Take his class without hesitation.
Perfect Professor I wish all the LAGCC Professors were as smart and caring as he is . He takes any topic serious and literally knows everything you ask him ! Greatest Professor I highly recommend him.
A great Professor who's passionate about the subject he teaches. You'll love jim
He is such a nice & understanding professor. He doesn't give you a hard time at all and the work is easy. Just come to class and do the work it's that simple. He's very sweet & optimistic. I would definitely take him again.
Professor Hill is a wonderful professor. He's easy going, respectful and compassionate. He's very understanding and he's willing to help you with anything. Just come to class, listen to his lectures and do the easy work that is given. He wants to help you pass. It will be easy if you do these simple task. I recommend taking him!
Prof. Dave is very nice and funny. If you want an easy A take his classes. He is amazing.
Professor Hill is great. Gives you positive feedback. There isn't any homework. Prepare to sit and listen because he does go into a lot of detail. You don't have to buy any books. Just participate in class and do all the assignments. You will end up writing like 5 papers and they are approximately 2-3 pages each. He is always happy!
Prof. Hill is honestly the best professor I have ever had. I had him for both SSP 101 & SSP245. He's very understanding and truly enjoys what he does. He's very knowledgable & willing to help all his students. 2-3 very reasonable papers for his class. He is also very funny! Do his papers, come to class & u will pass. BEST PROFESSOR EVER! TAKE HIM!!
Loves this professor ! He is very funny, kind and entertaining to his students even during the worst days. Personally, I'm not good in politics but I needed this for a requirement, but he really taught me a lot of interesting things. His lectures are really long though but our final was a simple essay.
Dreaded having to take this class as a core requirement but little did I know how amazing Prof. Hill was. He was always consistently enthusiastic despite teaching same class in morning and evening of same day during winter session. His style of teaching is effective and even without ppt slides, he keeps you engaged entire class. He's awesome!!!
I have never had any professor like this one. Professor Hill is such a brilliant guy, all of his lecture's were really interesting. what makes it even better is that he has a great humor.
Amazing guy, made the class fun and entertaining. Very straight to the point and made sense all the advice he gave. Took him for the six weeks session and amazing
Prof. Hill is such an amazing human being. He cares about his students wellbeing and would do whatever it take for them to understand what he is teaching. He's such a smart and knowledgeable person. I'm so sorry he only teaches one class. Laguardia really needs more prof. like him, who not only cares about a salary but cares about their students
Best professor ever. Not even exaggerating. Super cool guy. Had a rough family emergency half way through the semester last year and he worked with me to help me finish the class with a good grade. Good man and good professor.
sooo funny and without even trying so many hilarious moments and great class discussions if you show up and participate and do the class work there is no possible way you can fail he is one of the best professors and he should teach criminal justice I would highly recommend him he also has a very strange and interesting personality if that helps
Professor Hill was awesome. I took his class in the short semester and it was just enough but not too much work for that amount of time. At least for our class, it was 3 essays and no exams. Great if you love writing as I do, but even if you're not a strong writer you could definitely still pull out an A if you pay attention and participate.
I took this class for my first semester loved it. This class was very helpful it helped me learn a lot about the politics going on in this world and he tries his best to make the lectures as interesting as possible. You will have to pay attention in order to do well on papers as they do tie into in class lectures. Would totally take his class again
Can effectively answer any question you throw at him. Is willing to help his students in any way possible. He means well. But he's a doormat. Students turned in papers weeks past deadlines with no consequences. Far too tolerant about cellphone use, deadlines, essays and readings. Easily distracted. He chose a great book for class. Would recommend.
GREAT PROF. TAKE HIM IF YOU STRUGGLE IN POLITICS
A great professor that knows his stuff. Pretty much came every class and taught the class with ease. I never felt like I was lost. Took the class during session 2 and he gave us one essay, a midterm and a final. We were also able to revise the essay for a better grade. Both midterm and finals were take home test. Highly recommend him.
A++++++ Great Professor. Take him and you will be very happy!!!!!
Amazing professor! Really cares about students. Engages the class with great stories. No need to buy textbook; ask him anything about political science & hell give details. Went in knowing US politics like Trump, Clinton, learned global politics & got A. Total winter line up: 0 homework, 1 essay, 1 midterm & option of take home or in class final.
Chillest professor, I've ever had
Great professor show up to class and do the homework you are guarantee to pass with an A. I would definitely take a class with Professor Hill again.
Great prof. !!!!!
Professor Hill is definitely one of the BEST professor's that I've had. I would take his class over. I got an A because he's very understanding and he's a professor who actually wants his students to pass.
He is by far the coolest funniest and one of the most intelligent professors I've had in LAGCC 1 midterm 1 argumentative essay and 1 Final very easy and manageable if you follow his outline. His class is discussion based so you should talk as much as possible he answers pretty much any question thrown at him. He is truly a great asset to LAGCC
Absolutely amazing! Very engaging and informative, would love to have him again! He cares about his students and will help you out if you need it--just ask! Connects every piece of information in class, and truly makes you think about what you're discussing. Gives everyone the space to talk without being interrupted or feeling disrespected.
The best professor that i've had at lagcc. Would take him again in a heart beat.
Mr. Hill was pretty chill and his way of dressing is impeccable
AMAZING teacher his lectures are very interesting loved his course. He's a sweet man takes his job very seriously he's super funny ! Loved his class
Prof Hill's lectures are out of this world -- a bonafide genius -- linking the origins of the Greco-Roman world to our modern day American political structures. The only wish is that his class was for multiple semesters. Take him if you have any interest in the power structures of human existence.
Professor Hill explained the many aspects of politics in a clear and interesting way. I definitely recommend him as his lectures had the class engaged and interested in the material. He is clear on what he expects on the assignments and he is very approachable and willing to help you if anything. Take his class, do the work and you'll do well.
GREATEST PROF EVER!!! TAKE HIM YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT
Would not have passed this course without such an amazing professor. Makes the class laugh, will always respond to questions through email/after class. Pretty lax about due dates. Wish he taught more classes.
One of the best prof. In lagcc!!! Definitely, I world take this David again
He's a really good professor, very understanding and caring, had him for the short session.
Great professor. Appear in class, listen his lecture and write the same for your essay papers. His dressing sense and style is epic. :D
He's a cool teacher, he really knows what he's talking about and has carisma for students. His dressing style is awesome haha
Professor hill is someone who could easily understand you inside the classroom , homework isnt given however 3 essays were given throughout the semester
Prof Hill is awesome!! Attendance, participation and paper. There are no multiple choice test. His lectures are filled with analogies and examples which makes learning interesting. You will not be bored in his class.
He's a great professor, you can tell he knows a lot. His classes aren't boring at all. I am a science major and I thought this class would be boring but he made it very interesting. Papers for midterm and final, you'll be fine if you pay attention to all his classes. He actually cares for your opinions. Very charismatic person.
Hes a great Professor. He makes the lecture very interesting with his goofy personality and his knowledge. Take the class for yourself & see what everyone is talking about. You wont regret it :)
Professor Hill, is really good at teaching power and politics, he made the class so interesting and it was never boring. He had three papers, Argumentative paper, John Lock and Thomas Hobbs paper for midterm and final was a paper from the text The New Jim Crow Mass incarceration by Michelle Alexander. He gives an outline for all his papers.
He's so nice! I hardly write reviews for professors until after they grade me but man this professor is awesome! I became interested in a subject I thought I wouldn't be interested in, and learned a lot. He is very respectful of his students. He is also a generous grader. But sometimes he can be too lenient and some students take advantage of that.
Great professor ever, he is really transparent about his class, he knows a lot and respects every students opinion, take this class u wont regreat it.
Everyone should take his class! Hes extremely clear on his ideas on grading and lectures. Midterm and final are papers. He gives a lot of time to write things. Textbook can be used for help on papers, but didnt use it for class. He acknowledges the effort you put in and as long as you show up and hand in your work (even if late) youll pass.
Probably one of the greatest men in America. If you want to actually learn, then take this man's class. His lectures and class discussions are what our society is starved for. We'd all be better off if we took Professor Hill's class.
His entire class is strictly based on socialist views, so don't expect to learn other political ideology and think freely. He also doesn't allow you to use sources for his writing assignments other than the books he requires you to read. His writing prompts are vague and marks papers late if you hand it in at the end of the class that it's due on.
Easy A. Awesome lectures, he's cool with handing in assignments late. Participation will help you tremendously!
Really loved the class discussions. This class is really useful especially in this political climate. He's a very down to earth prof. hand in your papers on time and make sure to follow his edits.
Professor Hill is such a great person in general. His lectures are interesting and not boring. I really enjoyed his class and enjoyed having him as a professor. Make sure to hand in papers on time and if you have any questions on assignments or exams he is always there to guide. overall easy class.
This professor is hilarious and his lectures are super interesting! You can tell hes extremely passionate about what he does. He could be more organized BUT, he is really easy to talk too if you need clarification and extremely lenient and willing to help. Would definitely take this professor again! Overall super chilled and laid back course!
Good Professor and overall a nice guy. Fashion Icon.
Professor Hill is awesome, his online class was interesting and straight forward. As long as you do the important stuff you're set !
Professor Hill is AMAZING! Loved his class so much. He gives wonderful lectures and has a good and clear grading system. Power and Politics class was quite easy and interesting. You do not need to buy any books. He gives a lot of material during his lectures, I just had to write down some notes. He's funny, caring, and respectful to his students.
For context, this class was taken during the Covid pandemic. David Hill is the best professor ever. He doesn't care about grades, he only wants to teach. The class is super simple, he doesn't give much work, and the work he gives always had extra credit available. You can't fail his class even if you try.
He is the best
COVID 19 times- I received an A in his class and because I studied for his quizzes. If you study and read carefully, you should pass. Be ready to read and write. He is a tough grader, and it's better for you that he makes you a better writer/reader. For the sake of your GPA, study, study, study, and read. You got this don't stress I wish you luck.
Guys dont drop his class. Professor hill is super easy going person, whoever gonna take his courses I would say they are in right hand.
The course was asynchronous which means a ton of reading but the work is easy as long as you pay attention and make sure you understand his assignment. The class was simple for me because I was on top of the assignments. Easy A
Professor Hill is great. The class is all Asynchronous and very easy, just read the material and do your work. There's a few essays that you have to write and turn in later, so there's never no rush. I did really well in his class and the final exam was a breeze for me. I received an A, no doubt. TAKE HIS CLASS!!! No regrets.
A real gem! Definitely recommend. Was an easy A.
I took this course for Fall 2020. Professor Hill provided all asynchronous, but he's not a quick responder to emails or messages on BB. The "textbook" were only weekly chapters of reading he suggested for the class, also weekly quizzes and exams. Overall very easy to pass by turning in journal questions and reading the chapters.
I am currently in professor Hill's class for US power and poltics and the discussion facilitated in the class is amazing. Professor Hill is definitely is a very open minded person and has all different sorts of inclusions of thoughts and viewpoints. Never will you ever have to hide your ideas or ideals and the classwork and assignments are minimal!
This man is hands down the most chill professor you can get. Our Lectures were excellent and his lessons were very thought-provoking. Student-led discussions were very common in my class and we all had the freedom to voice our opinions. Assignments are really easy and he is super flexible with his deadlines. I would absolutely take his class again.
Professor David Hill is someone whom deeply cares about his students, and he will do everything he can to help them pass his class. He's a very calm person, which allows students to understand the topic(s) he teaches. Submit all of your homework, exams, and quizzes on time, and you will get an A. I would really love to have Professor Hill again!
By far the best professor I had at laguardia. With professor Hill it is a joy to be in his lectures because he finds a way to make it as interesting as possible with his humor. Honestly wish I could take another class with him because he really knows how to cheer you up
THE BEST AND FUNNIEST PROFESSOR I HAVE HAD. HE MAKES THE MATERIAL SO INTERESTING BY MAKING FUNNY JOKES EVERY HERE AND THERE! HE MAKES HIS ASSIGNMENTS VERY CLEAR WHICH MAKES IT EASY TO COMPLETE AND TURN IN ON TIME. I MOST DEFINITELY ENJOYED GOING TO HIS CLASS AND ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING!
This professor is great and super helpful, this professor is open to talk about class or anything, THIS PROFESSOR EXPLAINS EVERYTHING AND MAKES THE WORK SO EASY. This was a great class and you should take it :)
Amazing Professor
Professor Hill is AMAZING! Loved his class so much. He's funny, caring, and respectful to his students.
I took him on Fall second session, he was so nice and such a great professor. I wish I could take him for every course. His lectures are clear to understand, he makes class fun, and he teaches in such a way that doesn't even feel like we are in class. Listen to him, and give your views, he appreciates every opinion. Just take him.
Great Lectures and uses analogies to make lessons more understanding. Also keeps lessons fresh and interesting by providing information and news that this generation can understand.
I took Professor Hill in an online class and never got to meet him in person, but he is amazing, the whole class was focus into writing our final paper, he was hilarious always trying to make jokes and making the class interesting. You won't regret taking his class.
I loved how open minded Professor Dave was. Of all the radical and liberty of topics we chose to write about, he kept himself unbiased with grading our papers. He graded our papers thoroughly and based them upon how well we were able to explain and expand on our points of views. His jokes always had meanings with great value and morality.
Best professor of all time
Professor Dave as he likes to be called is one of the best professors you will ever have. He made an 8am class so enjoyable. He is full of good energy and his lectures were always so fun as he is a funny person. He is really understanding and the nicest. I would love to have him again as a professor.
Absolutely one of the best professors I ever had at LaGuardia. He had a really good sense of humor and he was always positive. His lectures were very interesting about US politics. I totally recommend having him if you take this course. You won't regret taking him.
An amazing and such an understanding professor. His assignments are super straight forward and his lectures are so interesting. Attend class, give in your assignments and its an easy A.
Great professor!
He is the best professor.
one of the best professor I have ever had, always encouraging to participate and even when you are wrong, he correct in a way that you still feel encourage to answer his next question.
Professor Dave was great. He really cares about participation and makes class a comfortable place for educated discussions. He's hilarious and class was always a joy to attend.
I took his class in section (2). Amzaing professor and always respond back to student question in class. Take his class you and if you do all the assignments, attend class and you will get 10000000% grade A.
The goat all I got to say. Prof Hill makes the environment very welcoming for everyone to chime in the discussion. Highly recommend professor Hill for a easy A.
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐the GOAT
Prof. Dave Hill Is An Awesome Human, He is Very Respected, Understanding, Hilarious and Has Swagg 💯 I Will Miss Him Very Much For I Never Thought To Be Good In This Subject But Prof Dave Helped Me Prove Myself Wrong, I Will Forever Be Greatful! Take Him Guys, Try To Make Every Class If You Can't Bring Documentation. He Is definitely The Goat🐐 😎
Not a class you should take if you are genuinely interested in politics. 95% of the class is blabbering on about irrelevant topics that barely correlate to politics. I recommend this class mainly for those who want quick & easy credits without putting in much work.
Professor Dave is amazing - makes lectures engaging and has a great sense of humor. If you stay on top of assignments and attend class, you'll likely get an A. unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for quizzing and review.
Prof. Hill is amazing !! he gives amazing lectures and is very well respected. I appreciated his keen interest in others opinion there was never any judgment in his class. if I could I would absolutely have him as a educator again !
I will just say, you gotta try hard to get a different grade than an A lol, easiest class in the world and he is funny
He is the best professor! You should take his class, you won't regret! You can can get an easy A if you do all the assignments. By the way, he doesn't give a lot work. It was never overwelming. He is funny and he makes students feel comfortable in the classroom.
Couldn't recommend Prof. Dave enough. He is caring, knowledgeable, and passionate. Always encouraged participation and made students feel very comfortable. Few assignments, relatively easy A.
When I was in his class I have so much fun, he do not pressure you with the homework he just tell you he true, I actually didn't miss any classes from him it was just so good. But yes you do have to do your work in order to pass!!!
