Gendlin is an amazing prof. He knows exactly what he is talking about and wants your opinion about it. Don't take this class if you are a horrible writer or don't at least have some kind of opinion or knowledge about what's going on in the world.

The perfect teacher. Knows so much and makes you want to learn. If I could take his course over again I would just to look at him. Take this class. I highly recommend it!

Dr. Gendlin is the coolest and nicest guy in the entire world outside of class. He is also the nicest guy in the entire world in class. But his tests are very hard. He is extremely helpful and very clear.

This professor knows the material. He is very clear and a very interesting teacher. His tests are pretty hard. Reading is a must! I recommend re-reading the chapters. It helped me a great deal. He is very helpful. He gave out study helper sheets. A+

For all of those who think EUP is 13th grade, Gendlin walks in and now u are at a university,he cares about your success.He worked for State Dept. & MIT.Best Pol.Sci. prof at EUP.Coming 2 class is not a job.ONLY HARD IF U LET HIM BE. Worth your $.

very hard class a lot of reading but he's also interesting

Was hard but would take him again. Is very kind and will try to make every effort to help you in anyway possible!

Yeah, he knows his stuff but unless you have two hours every day to spend on this one class, don't take Gendlin. (unless you can settle for a 'C')

His tests are NOT very hard. I enjoyed his class, even though he was on the local television station entirely too much. Study like a student is supposed to and you can earn an A grade.

you will learn ALOT in his class. he is fair, a really is a nice guy, interesting, and VERY DIFFICULT.

I've only had this guy once. It was a gen ed class that i thought would be a huge blow off. I ended up loving the class and studying like I've never studied before. If you're lazy and don't want to learn, don't take this professor. He is awesome!

He is a great professor if you're not looking for a blow off class. I worked hard in his class, but it paid off. I would definitely take him again. Plus, another bonus, he's hot too!

Nice guy. Good information. A good quality class with good info.

If you are good at essay's, this Prof is for you. Also, if you are taking classes to learn, this Prof is for you. Do not take if just filling electives, youprobably won't do well. I would take again.

Awsome professor!!! classes are made interesting and he is very enthusiastic. (keeps u awake)Organized and great professor to learn from. Very helpfull too!! AAAAAAA+

I have never studied so much for a class but I didn't hate the class. He is a very funny guy and you have to ask him to do is Arnold expression! Anywho, overall it was pretty cool.

Ranks with the best. I learned so much, but be ready to spend the time reading! For a 2pm class, it was very interesting. I never once nodded off!

What a great Prf. Very nice. i would love to take any of his classes.

His a liberal don't let the suit and tie fool you!!! I know under those designer clothes is a sandals wearing, tiedye shirt sporting dude. But fear him anyway because he makes you work

He is such a kick ass Proff. He's funny as hell, but he does make you do some work. I would love to have him for class again

VERY GOOD BUT VERY HARD @'-'@

Excellent prof, very interesting, knows his business. A great man but will take a pound of flesh from you by finals week.

Gendlin is a tyrant! He has no consideration for anyone and will make you look dumb in front of the whole class. He acts like he wants to help but when you go for help or to talk to him he is ignorant, ignores you, gets off topic, and criticizes you. Terrible!

Very compassionate, easy to get along with. Everyone found him to be comical. Watch when he asks you to "read like Gendlin."

Dr. Gendlin is hilarious. I learned a lot in his class but didn't do enough of the reading (read everything assigned twice or more), so I didn't do that well. I am usually an A student but I will be re-taking his class. As long as you read the book thoroughly you will be fine. Go to class everyday, when attendance is low he may give a pop quiz.

Gendin is awesome...One of the most intellegent professors I've ever had. His class is a challenge, but you will learn a lot!

He was so interesting and smart and expected a lot of his students, but it made you want to live up to his expectations. He was a great prof.

Probably one of the smartest profs ive ever had the pleasure of taking. sure he thinks that he's gracing your presence by talking to you, but at least you understand where its coming from. i think its harder to realize how good he is in lower level classes.

This was the most rewarding A I have ever earned. Very tough, had him his first semester at EUP, heard he dumbed down the class since then... Still have my lowi book, man now that was an interesting read. if you like a challenge he is the teacher.

great professor

Very intelligent prof. Just remember to turn off your cell phones in his class.

great proffesor

I think that he needs to ease up on the Guizes and Tests. Give more indication what will be on them out of the book instead of taking basic random things that you would think you would be on there at all. And for goodness sake go easy on the kids,a lot of the students he teaches are freshmen,coming right out of high school and they need to adapt.

Good teacher gotta work to earn your grade in his class if you end up having any problems he cares enough to help students

Hard class!!! If you like to read and like to take a ton of notes, take this class! He is a fantastic teacher and a very intelligent man! Funny guy, but you have to work to get your grade. Grades on Quizes, Exams and misc. Take if you want to learn a lot, but be prepared to read a lot!

i enjoyed his class, good teacher. he teaches you like he would at a higher level school. you need to work for your grade, he wants you to feel like you accomplished something in his class. reading tests are the hardest part of his class, questions could be anything from the reading.

I LOVE HIM!!!!! He is very very hard, and he will make u work!!! But he is by far the best professor EVER!!!!! He is very smart and funny, and class is very enjoyable. I am trying to take all the classes he offers. Much better than Rounds or Jeffrey. He is for those who are serious about school.

Excellent prof, must be a serious student to do well

This prof is straight, I adore him. He'll make you work, but he's actually worth listening to. And he's got a great addtude.

Great Professor, but you will work harder for your grade in his classes, than you normally would in other classes. His expectations are out of this world, but he is a cool guy, and he really knows his stuff. ONLY IF YOU LIKE/CAN HANDLE CHALLENGES TAKE HIM.

ok...i have mixed feelings with Gendlin. First of all the guy is brilliant. he knows everything that has to do with gov. He is helpful and is funny. But....his class is sooo hard, the book is murder, the chapters are 70 pages long and he quizes you on the reading. his tests and reading quizzes are very hard. NEVER LET YOUR CELL PHONE GO OFF!!!!!

He is a really nice guy and a wonderful professor, but he is hard.

Gendlin is the****. He is by far the greatest professor on this campus. I love him.

He's HARD, but A M A Z I N G! If you are up for a challenging class where you will learn and participate in thoughtful/provocative discussions on world news, he's the man.

Dr. Gendlin is the most fair, most professional educator I've ever had. True, he expects alot from his students, but what you gain from his classes is invaluable. He is very knowledgable about his subject and is willing to help anyone who needs it. Easily the best prof in the poli-sci department.

GREAT PROFESSOR!

If I hadn't kept putting my foot in my mouth through the class I'd probably have had a better time in the class. It was a really hard class

Gendlin's a real cool guy, pretty funny too. His class was hard, but if you like the material it isnt that bad. Decent amout of reading, good amount of conversation. He knows what he teaches so you have to know what your saying, in class or on tests.

Gendlin is a great guy. Very funny and enjoyable. Makes class fun. He is very passionate about his subject which is something I personally look for in my professors. His tests are not easy. But if you study you can bring your grade up. I've already scheduled to take him next semester for a different class. Excellent and professional professor!!

Gendlin is simply the man. He treats his class as a "relaxed, albeit professional business meeting" where students can feel free to disagree with eachother and HIM on topics discussed in class. Tests aren't hard if you read. He isn't a stickler for attendance, but you should go if you want to pass. I've taken him 5 or 6 times and would do it again.

Though he is tough and his class is rather hard, Gendlin makes it very entertaining and you can feel rather relaxed in his class when your there. Though, I admit, I believe I am failing out of his class, I still enjoying going every day just to listen to his comments and the discussions that go on in his class. No complaints on not having a pepper.

Gendlin's style acknowledges that learning material thoroughly requires not only intensive study but also indiscriminate criticism. He has the same rigorous expectations for his students as he was held to himself. Other professors will seem unconfident, ill-prepared, and amateurish in comparison!

He was funny. Confident and knowledgeable. Would gladly take another one of his classes.

Great Professor, you have to study hard though to do well. His lectures are insightful the class discussions are interesting! Be prepared to do alot of reading! Oh leave your cell phone at home. If he hears anyones cell phone he will give the entire class a pop quiz!

I took many classes with Dr. Gendlin. He is a great professor. He is very kind helpful smart and funny. His classes were very interesting. I recommended taking his classes. You will learn a lot :)

Dr. Gendlin should be at an Ivy league school, but chose to be with us. We are blessed to have him.

He is an amazing professor! He comes off intimidating but he is a very mono-tone sarcastic type of professor and is alot of fun. He knows how to explain politics in a way that you can relate to and makes it easy to understand. Even though i never got above an 82 on tests and quizes, i still loved the class. Take him!

He comes off intimidating at first, but that weeds out people who don't want to be there. You get what you put into the class. If you show up, and make a good effort, it should pay off. Makes learning politics fun (that's hard to say!) A top notch EUP professor!

Can come off as snobby but hey what's wrong with that

This guy is HILARIOUS, not to mention he's like an encyclopedia of knowledge. You have to read the textbook and study hard but you learn a thousand times more that way. You truly earn the grade you get. Gerry Gendlin is the man.

Excellent Professor requires a great deal of reading comprehension

Dr. Gendlin is intelligent, engaging, funny, and motivating. Teaching from a fact-based, intellectual point of view, he convinces the democrats, republicans, and independents that he shares their views--largely because he is so well liked. It's not easy to ace his class, but it's easy to want to try. I wish EUP had a hundred more of him.

He is a good teacher, but I do not learn well from his teaching methods, little from class is tested on and most comes from reading. If you have troubles learning by reading avoid at all costs.

His class is really fun but if you can't focus on the reading you're screwed.

Gendelin himself is a fantastic professor and person. He is very knowledgeable on all the subjects he teaches. However he is a bit of a challenge. You must read and take good notes to pass his class.

One of the most intelligent professors on campus. Very funny and he will always make a joke. Tests are super hard. Very important to stay up to date with the readings and take very good notes to pass the class.

Tests are incredibly hard for the most part. And they are the ONLY grades you will recieve, if you have troubles learning from reading, avoid at all cost

VERY HARD CLASS! test are ridiculous. reading and studying your butt off is a must. but dr.gendlin is a wonderful speaker and very very knowledgeable! i loved listening to his lectures, just hated his tests! probably wont take him again...

Dr. Gendlin is a very good professor. While he may require a good deal of reading, it really helps you in understanding the material. I've taken him for numerous classes and would take him every semester if I could.

Took him for International Relations and Current issues in global politics. Very intelligent, well spoken, thorough. Tests are challenging, classroom discussion invigorating. You do not want to disappoint him and I believe he cares about his students.

A great guy, funny and knows what he's talking about to the max. I failed the class, but I don't hold it against him, it was my own fault. And despite that, I still learned an immense amount. Be prepared to take notes and study HARD. The tests are tough if you don't do the readings or take good notes. Very interesting class though.

Dr. Gendlin is a very classy man.

Very very awesome professor, very knowledgeable about politics. He has a sarcastic sense of humor which I loved, over all he is a very nice guy even if he doesn't see it that way. Read the book, he gives out reading tests and also reading will be on the exams. Don't just take notes, write down what he says in class as well and you will do fine.

I'm a political science major. His class is hard even for a political science major. That said you'll learn more in his class than any other class at the university. This guy knows his stuff. You'll need to work VERY hard to get a good grade. Very classy Professor. I think we're lucky to have him. Take his class.

He is great and funny.

Fantastic professor and keeps classes interesting. Read your book, even the little obscure parts. Take notes on the book and study them as well as his lecture notes. If you stop at his office hours he will even help you find a way that best suits you to take notes on the reading. Tough class, great man.

The class was great and he is a great teacher.

I can pretty much let his reputation speak for itself, but if you hadn't heard, he's a very learned, entertaining and professional instructor. Probably a big reason why the students who major in Poli Sci are still there now. Even at lower levels, do not attempt to half-ass his courses, he is very active in making you learn the material.

In comparative politics he is dedicated to teaching and wants his students to learn. He lectures for the whole class, incorporates current events into the class, and has assigned reading. Participation, attendance and reading are mandatory. Read the book, highlight the book, take notes, highlight notes, then read them both again. Loved his class

Not much needs to be said that hasn't. He's the best professor I've had at Edinboro. I am strongly considering switching majors partly because of his class. His exams and quizzes get harder throughout the semester, but you can do well if you read the book comprehensively and pay attention in class. Fantastic in class discussion and lecture.

Very difficult class

One of the best professors Ive had in my life. Knowledgeable and inspirational. Thoroughly enjoyed every lecture and learned a ton.

Good professor! I learned a lot, he lectures every day and you must take notes on everything as well as read and reread the required text. He made class very enjoyable and was very non biased when talking about politics. An Extremely difficult but enjoyable professor

He will get you ready for reality after college. READ.

best professor ever. lectures interesting, discussions stimulating. he knows his stuff. always willing to help. complainers here are ones who don't read; classes not hard if you read the book. i've taken three classes with him and would take more if i could but i'm not a political science major

Be prepared to take notes the whole class. The midterm and final had questions related to class discussions/ powerpoints and the textbook. My only complaint was that he gave the same time frame for all essays even if they were double the amount of words. As a person who doesnt like writing it was difficult getting the essays done on time.

He may seem like a tough guy at first, but as long as you put in the work, you will enjoy his class. Be prepared to read outside of class, pay attention, and show up with a notebook and several pencils. If you miss his lectures, then that's too bad! Otherwise, he's an amazing professor to talk to and is easily accessible outside of class.

Dr. Gendlin is a great professor, but you definitely have to put effort into his class. This isn't a class you just show up to and sit in. It is discussion-heavy, and he expects students to reference the book. He cares deeply about his students, the campus, and the program he is part of. I recommend him if you're willing to put in the effort.

Dr. Gendlin is a very nice person with a good attitude who makes class fun & engaging. He keeps political opinions to himself but also prompts for critical thinking. The part where it becomes difficult is grading...There aren't many grades so those grades are weighed heavy. Be prepared to analyze the book heavy, the quizzes on it are very verbose.

Professor Gendlin, he helped me believe in myself more than anyone else, and he was literally just doing his job. He is tough, but if you are ready to do true college-level work, you will learn so much. He's a tough cookie on the outside, but cares deeply about his students beyond the classroom. If you want a real college experience, Gendlin is it.

Gendlin is a good professor and really cares about the students. If you have a question he can't answer immediately, he gets back to you promptly. He does require a lot of reading but if you do it in chunks instead of all at once its not that bad. Also never have your phone on or let it vibrate. He'll give the whole class a pop quiz on the reading.

I decided to take this class because it related to my major, even though I am not a Poli/Sci major. This is one of the best classes I have taken in Edinboro because Dr. Gendlin actually cared about his classes. The lectures actually taught you something and related to the out of class reading. There is a lot of reading, but it's not that bad.

Extremely entertaining and wonderful professor, discussion based class with great curriculum and fantastic approach. Does not appreciate technology usage during class however, so stay off your phone!
