Just letting you know right now, that almost anyone can get an A in his class, you just have to put in the effort.

Dr. Beggan is an all star teacher. I took him for the May mini mester and was scared going into a 3 week course but he explained material clearly and covered everything. quizzes daily and reading daily, mandatory attendance, gives extra credit book project. study in groups it helps. he engages the class so everyone participates.

Great guy and was very well at explaining things. The only reason I didn't pass was it was a hybrid course and I had deaths in the family and I couldn't make the deadlines.

Dr. Beggan was clear with what he wanted. The exams were multiple choice and included an essay and two short answers. For the essays he would give you two possible topics ahead of time and he graded them lightly. The four projects he assigned can easily be done within the first week of class. Extra credit was not worth it. Textbook is a necessity.

This is a class that you should have no problem making an A in! He responds quickly to emails. He gives you all the tools to pass with a high grade, you just need to listen to his instructions and make sure to write the essays before the test or you will not have time to finish. Over all a very simple and strait forward class!

Really enjoyed this class! Dr. Beggan was engaging and well prepared. His lectures were structured and easy to follow. His use of personal anecdotes kept the class interesting and made it memorable. His encouragement to participate in government was galvanizing and inspirational.

From the Emerald Isle, love this guy. He tests on 4-chapter (or so) sections throughout the course. U need to read the book, to a point - the most important are the lectures. Don't worry, they're entertaining. Yet, he doesn't care what your name is - he'll point at u if he wants u 2 answer a ?. If u ask, u'll always know where u stand.

Show up to class-his lectures are inclusive and amazing. He uses the book to a point, but you can get by without it. I held a "B" without ever using the book - but by paying attention in class - do that and you're good. However, if you want the "A" then you need the book; his quizzes are based on the book and NOT lectures-still a badass professor.

I do not like GOVT at all but I really enjoyed his class. He is very knowledgeable on the topic and makes it easy to understand. Projects were actually fun to complete too! Tests are pretty standard for GOVT/HIST classes, 25 multi choice, 2 short answer, and 1 essay. He provides really good study material outside of class too. Highly recommend!

I had never taken a Gov class before since I grew up out of the country so I was very scared. Only con is writing 3 essays for the exam but if you prepare you will be fine, if I can do it anyone can. Although I had him online I really liked him, wish I had him in person. Honestly just do the work and you will get a good grade. would take him again!

Easy class only 3 exams, 10 quizzes all info on online quizlets, and 10 discussions and 2 simple projects given. Exams include 2 short answers, 1 long essay and 25 multiple choice those are online also The time is spend doing the darn short answer and essay. Essay questions are pretty straight forward and info in textbook, easy!

I took his class back in 2019 in person. Honestly, He's a great professor. Very involved with the lectures and want everyone to participate. The test we not bad. I got a C due slacking off in the class but I managed to get all the work done. Very fair, do the work and I promise you you'll pass.

This professor has a PHD and you can definitely tell. Passing his class requires a lot of reading and 300 out of a possible 350 total points is tests (3 tests). The upside is that there aren't a lot of papers to write. He is an extremely smart man, who taught me a lot about how our government works.

I recommend Beggan for anyone. He is detailed in his lectures and asks the class questions to make sure everyone understands. He also has a sense of humor which makes his class entertaining. I never read the textbook and I got an A. His tests are long but they are usually easy and he allows you to come 30 minutes early if you need extra time.

Dr. Beggan is a pretty cool guy. The lectures are easy to follow and he delves into controversial topics, but he is mostly impartial. Before tests, he gives us the prompt of the 3 essays, but you'll only be given 1 of the 3 for the test. He says to write them ahead, but personally, I just memorize the main ideas and examples of the prompts.

I loved this class and Dr. Beggan is awesome! Some people say the tests are "too hard" or "too long", but he makes his expectations and grading criteria very clear from the first day of class. Lectures are very thorough and detailed and there is a reasonable amount of homework. Read the book and do your work and it will be a great experience.

Incredible professor. Highly knowledgeable in the subject and shows great interest in teaching. 3 tests where you will receive a large majority of your final grade. The tests are only challenging if you don't study. 30 multiple choice questions, 2 short answers, and one two-page essay in 2 hours. Lots of extra credit available so no excuse to fail.

Best professor ever, he makes his lectures so engaging and very easy to understand. His format in D2L is so organized nothing is confusing ever. Also his test are very well made everything you study for will be there nothing extra; you have opportunities to get extra points in every test as well. His class is only hard if you don't study.

Professor Beggan was great! His entire class just lectures but he keeps it interesting. Studying is required to pass but it's nothing unbearable. I finished with an A and didn't really use the textbook. I would still buy the textbook just to be safe - there are a few things not covered in the notes that are in the chapters. Great class overall!

TAKE HIM! Currently we are only 3 wks in but let me tell you this guy is good. I have never really understood government, but this guy's teaching is on point. He likes for the class to be involved and gives feedback because he says if you don't know, he would rather ask you to make sure you understand the material rather than someone else. SO GOOD

Amazing professor! Always engages students, so learning is a great experience and it makes the learning easier. He doesn't overcomplicate things, but doesn't take away the importance of the material he is teaching. The tests seem intimidating, but are very easy if you prepared well enough. Funny guy too. Just make sure to do the weekly assignments!

I have always struggled with governmental classes, but Dr. Beggan makes it much easier to understand! He teaches in a way that is understandable and he genuinely helps you to succeed in his class. There are two projects, but they're easy, he gives extra credit and helps you on the test in many ways. 10/10.

Great Professor and great lectures, I felt like I would go to a ted talk every time I went to his class. One of the best classes and professors i've ever had. His teaching style is great, and he truly cares about his students. I loved that I was able to learn a lot about our government, but also real life stuff.

Took his course a few semesters ago and I learned a lot. Prof. Beggan has good lectures that helped me really understand the material. He is very engaging and helps you genuinely learn, not just memorize for the test. You do have to study at least a little, I found the coursework a decent challenge. It was an amazing experience.

Dr Beggan was awesome! He made his lectures very interesting and funny and engaging. There's some reading and weekly quizzes and discussions but his class was amazing. He gave great feedback and was always willing to help. Highly recommend and I would definitely take another class with him.

I took Dr. Beggan and he was amazing. Tests are usually MCQ and one long essay+2 short essays. The tests are very straightforward and he gives plenty of extra credit opportunities. His lectures are very engaging and fun. I didn't buy the textbook and still got an A with the notes I took from the lectures alone! I definitely recommend taking him!!

I took his 8-week class, definitely recommend! Weekly chapter readings with 6-question quizzes, 2 projects, and 3 exams. The exams are timed, no lockdown multiple choice questions, 1 essay and 2 short answer questions. He provides the prompts for the essay, very similar to what you would have on the test. If you preprare, it should be really easy.

This has been one of my favorite online classes, the discussion posts were actually interesting, and I enjoyed the prompts. The tests were kind of long and have short response and an essay but the content is all accessible and he gives really great feedback! As long as you stay on top of the work and turn in everything it's an easy A.

Professor Beggan is incredibly knowledgeable. His lectures are engaging like TED talks. Though exams are challenging, using resources like unstuck ai for study prep helps a lot. Definitely take this class if you're interested in government.

I took this class this fall semester 24. The discussions and quizzes are very easy to do. I recommend writing/typing what he says because it will be on the test and read the blue vocabulary words in the textbook. His class was very easy for me, since I had a background in AP US Government.

He was a great professor super caring and nice. The only problem is testing. You have 1 hr and 30 min to write a 2 page paper, 2 short answers and 30 multiple choice. If your'e a good test taker you'll be fine but lots of people struggled to finish it all in the time given including me. Otherwise he's great. Very funny and makes sure your engaged.

Great professor! You learn a lot in this class. Little online quizzes and discussion posts every week. Take notes on what's written on board because that's useful for exams. Exams are pretty easy it's just definitions and things talked about in class. Only downside is writing an essay for every exam. Highly recommend this professor!

I thoroughly enjoyed Professor Beggan, but if you are looking for an easy A or a class with little work, I would not take him. I learned so many valuable things in this class, but it required work and time to read the textbooks and study for tests. If you enjoy school and studying, take him! Great guy!
