An amazingly interesting professor. She makes you want to learn more.

Very interesting teacher. Gives excellent notes. Can pass the class without the book, just take notes!!! 2 Option test: Muliple choice or essay. No HW just keep up with the notes!

Straight forward, show-up for class and learn the vocab in the book...smooth sailing

She Rocks

Great Teacher! Knows the subject very well! Just take good notes and pay attention. Allows students to take either an essay or M/C test. Treats everyone with respect.

She's anything but republican

as long as you come to class you'll do fine

Great teacher. Very helpul. Class discussions are interesting. Always willing to listen to different points of view, even if she disagrees with them. Test are somewhat difficult, but if you keep up with the readings and take good notes, you'll be fine.

overall politics suck. her test are hard if you dont read the material at all. and i never really touched the book so bacially i failed the tests. the only way iwas able to pass the test is cheat off my neighbors. she also makes you do a book report.

easiest class i have taken at el camino. she gives extra credit on every test in addition to extra credit if you visit a museum. her tests are super easy, just show up to lecture. if i can get 100%, anyone can ;)

I took two of her classes and never opened the book once and got A's in both (one was honors)! That is the beauty of this teacher, she tests on her lectures! She is interesting and very helpful, trust me good PS teachers are hard to find and she is GOOD!

well let's just put it this way, I averaged over 100 on the three tests, and got a near perfect score on the book review. how much did I study for all that over a 6 week session, probably 3 hours!

Hard to stay awake but mabey the 7:45AM start time had something to do with it. Very nice and gives a LOT of information. I didn't really look at the book and still got a "B" (acually, I'm trying to figure that one out myself; not complaining

took the 7:45 am class. very boring! she was late half the time but that was fine with me. didn't read the book, don't buy it. just buy the workbook, it gives chapter summaries and key terms-that and the lectures is enough for an 'A'.

I got an A, and for the six week session I studied very little. It helps to read the book, but it more important to understand and know the keyterms. She nice, and the class was easy, but it got borring very quickly.

Goes on a tangent, due to her passion for the subject. She is NOT biased in teaching or grading. Her lectures are sometimes boring, may have a lot to do with the subject! I recommend her! Her tests are easy IF you study. If not you’re doomed! As a person and teacher she is cool!

Very nice lady, lectures are boring though. I got through the semester w/out reading the chapters and got an "A" easily. You have one book report.

GREAT TECHER, TAKES TEST QUESTIONS FROM THE CLASS NOTES, VERY CLEAR, HELPFUL, JUST GO TO CLASS AND YOU'LL BE FINE... EASY EXTRA CREDIT

Don't get me wrong, she is a very nice lady, but I could not stand sitting through this class. It was so boring. I watched the clock the entire time. I would recommend taking her, only if you dont care to sit through boring classes. She did not really get me inspired about the subject.

She is not boring! Encourages class participation and does grade you on how much you talk in class. She is very nice and will let you makeup tests if you have a real reason for missing it. I loved her class and will definitely take her again.

She is a very nice professor. Most of the exam questions come out from the notes she discusses in the lecture. So it's better to understand the notes you are taking, then you'll be fine.

I love Dr. Antoine! She's such a great professor! She's fun and laid back. She has a lot of personal experience and shares her stories with the students. She's completely clear to what she wants and her tests come from class notes. Come to class and study and you'll do well.

Easiest class ever taken. I Didn't read any of the chapters. Offers 3 easy extra credit assignments. Class is very boring. Got an A in the class, just read the key terms after each chapter and read the notes and you will pass. She also drops the lowest test score. The hardest part is staying awake.

Professor Antoine is fabulous! I learned so much, and her class remains among my favorites. She's a WONDERFUL teacher, and inspired my continuing interest in political science.

all the people rating her 1's most likely failed her class. it's difficult, (but it's an honors class after all), but just go to her office hours and you'll be fine. her voice does get boring but you'll learn TONS just by listening to her.

Class is boring but its not difficult at all.

she was a good teacher.her lectures were interesting and sometimes she gets side tracked. just take good notes and sometimes she gives study sheets that help a lot for the test. gives you the choice to take a multiple choice test or an essay test. The study group helps a lot and she gives out lots of extra credit.

I loved this teacher. She made you think. Pay attention in class and you will do just fine. The only paper we had to write was a book review of a political book and she even gave you the outline to go by. I did learn a lot.

Great Woman! I was not looking forward to taking this class but so far it really isn't that bad. Professor Antoine gets an A from me.

Seems 2 know what she's talking about,but her lectures puts me 2 sleep. It was impossible for me to pay attention. I studied like a MAD MAN for her tests, but it's damn near impossible to get an A- made flash cards, extensive notes, everything. Her tests are WAY too tricky, all the answers sound the same. Ended up with a B but studied like crazy.

Fabulous teacher, very interesting! Fast-tracked this class last winter-great idea, got an A. Her lectures ARE the exams, didn't need to read the book, just used common sense and already held knowledge. She's so PC, yet can really slam the extremist right-wingers if you're listening hard enough!

Not a bad professor, seems friendly. She tests more out of her lectures than the book, so attendance is important. 4 tests (one dropped), book report, and a final. Kind of an average class.

THIS PROFESSOR IS A GOOD PROFESSOR, BUT SHE GRADES KIND OF HARD. HER VOICE IS HARD TO HEAR DURING HER LECTURES SO SIT TOWARDS THE FRONT. THERE CAN COME A TIME WHEN YOU HAVE TO PICK A POLITICAL EVENT TO DO A PUBLIC SPEAKING PROJECT ON. WELL, SHE SOMEHOW REMINDS ME OF SOMEONE'S GRANDMOTHER A LITTLE.

Very Boring but relatively easy... read the book and take the essay exam to get a better grade

Great teacher really knows what she is talking about. Sometimes you will drift off and be lost on what she is talking about. But you learn lots of International Relations.

Great class! Just read your book and you'll be able to pass with flying colors. Class is not mandatory, and there is extra credit possibilities. She is an awesome teacher, and can help you out during class hours and office hours.

Dr. Antoine is a very sweet older woman.This class is a bit boring,but Unless you adore poli.sci. Icannot imagine anyone LOVING this class,nonetheless it's a requirement.Its impossible to fail her class with some effort put in.Mostly everything is directly out the book, if otherwise she'll let you know during lecture. Her exams are extremely fair.

Professor Antoine is a very sweet lady. It is really easy to get an A or a B in this class. Just study your vocabularies from the chapters, and understand what she puts on the board. Everything will be on the test. Her lectures are from the top of her head so she does not have an outline or anything. Very knowledgeable teacher.

she isnt as hard as many may think. all you really have to do is read the chapters. she gives you a study guide and drops your lowest test grade. she doesnt take participation into an account for grades but you should go because her test material is all in her notes not all in the text.

Best teacher I've had so far. Just write down everything she puts on the board. Do the study guide and you will get an A. A lot of it is just vocabulary. She is passionate about the subject and relates it to current events. She's also very nice and approachable.

Loved her class. I took her class in the summer and got an A. I went to every lecture and answered every question on the study guide and asked her questions for clarification. I never read the textbook, only enough to answer study guide. She is very sweet and knowledgeable about current events. Highly recommended!!!! Study, attend class, get an A.

OUTSTANDING, Knowledgeable, helpful, fair (and easy) Professor!. Gives a decent amount of E.Credit! M.C.tests (which I opted for) are real easy!! & her explanations are v.clear! Although she leans left(Get real! she is a P.S. teacher, and will have political OPINIONS) she is V.FAIR & IMPARTIAL. Got an A+(103% after EC & curve). HIGHLY recommended!!

she mumbles a little so sit in the front of the class. her lectures are kinda boring but her study guides are great. the tests are fairly easy. over all good class to take

Very good professor! She knows her stuff. Her videos are boring, and her lectures can drag on and get a little off topic, but it is not a hard class and she does an excelent job teaching it. The tests are pretty easy. Not hard to get an A.

GREAT prof to talk to outside of class...lectures can be rather rough though. Textbook a mandatory read if you want to get by in class. Lectures only good if you participates. However, lots of extra credit opportunities, so A's are possible, and no homework to speak of; just a few tests, a couple quizzes and a paper.

i took this prof. for poli sci- 1 and 10...best teacher ever!!!!!!... I love Dr.Antoine.. she is so helpfull and easy way to getting extra credit for the class. the text book a must!!. but if u have problems with $$$ and needed to wait for your boook to arrive form amazon.. like i did... she is very understanding.

Antoine is very nice, but you need to pay attention in class and take down good notes. Her exams aren't that bad, but you need to read the text and study the notes taken in class. Do the extra credit and just keep with the reading and you should do fine. Her study guides are very helpful so follow along those q's as you're reading.

Approachable, intelligent and willing to work with students. I found that her lectures helped to add dimension to the material in the textbook, but your mileage may vary. There are some lectures you are almost guaranteed to find boring. Regardless, if you are interested in the material, this is a class well worth taking.

She's really a sweet person. While she makes her opinion abundantly clear, she does slam both sides of politics. I never read the book and still received an "A". Get a recorder, sit in front, and you must take thorough notes as most of her tests are on the notes. I liked her objective tests- there are usually a few extra c. questions.

She is the best. It is better to learn from someone who experienced many of the things others only read about. If you don't "get" her, perhaps it's you. Listen,take notes, get your head off your desk,stop texting and you will do just fine.

This professor is so intelligent! She knows her material very well and a lot about what has to do with what is being taught. Yes the lectures are long and may seem overwhelming, but what do you think college is about? You should be glad to have a professor who knows what she's talking about. 4 exams, 1 final, 2 essays and there's ex crdt. That's it

I loved Ms. Antoine, though I was in the minority. She is sooooo smart and if you like the subject, you will enjoy the class. If you hate the subject, you will hate her and the class. All you need to get an A is study a little, it really wasn't that hard. I didn't study ever and still got an A. She is a sweet ole lady and I hope she is well.

Dr antoine is s gem. still give her hugs in the hallway! you must pay attention, and any bad reviews are from people who didn't bcs all it takes it listening to lectures and you will do well! seems hard on students but actually far from, just talk to her!! saw her let people turn in late assignments on numerous occasions...

Dr. Antoine is a superb teacher/professor. Out of the ten prof. I studied under, she has taught me the most in only six weeks. People truly looking to learn about politics and government will do well in this class.

This class is o. She really knows her stuff but can ramble on about her point of view instead of teach. If you study your notes and do the extra credit then you should be able to get an A. she gives a lot of extra credit points so do them!

4 exams drops lowest, cumulative final but she gives a study guide to tell you what exactly to study. Pay attention to lectures, write down everything she put on the board and you will do fine. It will be an easy class if you pay attention and do one book report. She gives extra credit. I would recommend her, she is straight to the point.I got an A

If you show up and take the notes she writes on the board. Its an easy A. She is VERY intelligent and the lectures are interesting. Her voice is sometimes too soft to hear from the back row though.

She doesn't actually teach. She just goes up and talks about her biased political views and tries too hard to manipulate the students at the expense of getting quality information. Other than that her class is pretty easy if you get the general ideas from the textbook. Tons of extra credit opportunities.

sweet, nice lady :) but isnt really clear, so its kind of hard to take notes, while taking notes is the most important thing in her class. got a B in her class, had a hard time taking notes. you can choose the exams, multiple choice or essay, but final is gonna be essay

Great teacher. VERY NICE and SWEET. WILLING TO HELP. take her!!

Ellen was encouraging and helpful teacher. Has a broad view about the subject and genuine interest in her teachings. I really liked being her student. Haven´t seen her since 1993.

I took her for the honors international relations course. She is extremely knowledgeable, and gives very interesting lectures. There is a lot of reading involved, but just show up to class and take good notes during the lecture and you should be fine. I got an A.

Professor Antoine is a sweet old lady and is very knowledgeable. It can be hard to take notes, but the objective tests are extremely easy if you know the key words (in bold)from each chapter. It can get a little boring but overall not too bad. I would take her again.

I took her winter PoliSci 1 Honors course. It was definitely a lot of reading, and you have to turn in a summary of each chapter. She is extremely knowledgable, as well very nice and understanding of her students. Tests are pretty straight forward. Do the study guides ahead of time and you will get an A!

Sweet lady. Knows what she's talking about. I took her winter honors course and had great discussions. I think it depends on the class, but ours wasn't boring at all contrary to the other comments. Grades fair, just study. Attainable A with some genuine effort.

Very nice professor, I saw that she was really understanding with her students. There is little homework other than the reading-assignments, so if you study I can't imagine this class being super hard. She offers extra credit. Do make sure you sit near the front; she is a little hard to hear from the back of the class.

pretty easy class. she tends to rant a bit so jus copy down what she leaves on the board and you're good. also she doesnt care much on attendence

took her class last semester for short term. it is a lot of reading, but write down everything she puts on the board and everything she lectures on will be on the text!!! I am not kidding.

Her class is great. I found her lectures to be interesting and helpful. I liked that she included a lot of personal stories to clarify the subject she was lecturing on. She is very helpful and kind. All you have to do to get an A is read the book and take notes on her lectures. Definitely recommend her!

Okay, it is IMPOSSIBLE to take notes from her lectures because she jumps around too much. I would advise future students to take a laptop and type your notes. You must also READ the textbook. It is literally the only way you'll survive. She put some guy to sleep everyday haha...and he sat right in front of her. She's kind but demanding.

Took her Poli Sci 1 Honors class in summer. Shes very nice and willing to help. You gotta read the textbook for the tests. There were total of 4 tests (3 are multiple choice, and 1 is an essay test) She drops one of the multiple choice tests that has the lowest grade. I regret procrastinating on the research paper, so start early! I recommend her

Took her during the sumer and it was easy if you read the CHs and pay attention. Research paper is on any political topic. One essay test (take it on Political Interest Groups) and 3 multiple choice (study vocab, events, laws).. some fill in the blank. Very nice teacher but some what hard to keep interested in class.

Is all up to the student to read the book to understand the chapters and terms. Go to S.I and office hours she's very understanding and has a good memory. Most important when you start don't give up she will take notice of your effort.

Go to SI sessions and score high on her 3 test

Absolutely brilliant! She got her Ph.D. at John Hopkins and it shows. You must read the textbook to be able to follow along with the lectures and to participate in the class. Her lectures go in-depth into American government and she fills her lecture with US History to give students a deep understanding of this nation. Take her if you are serious.
