funny guy, relates the info to things we know, highly recommended!

Excellent professor. Funny!

Dr. Richardson is one of the most helpful professors at KU. While his lectures can sometimes be boring, he is an interesting guy who isn't afraid to realize that we are adults. I highly enjoyed him and would reccomend him to all.

Any questions or Deeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww are sayings you will catch from him from time to time. GW is a man of the people who enjoys what he teaches and what everyone to do well. If your looking for a good teacher take GW's class for Amer Gov.

good prof., explains things well, takes all questions relating to the book from his online test. only need a 70% on his tests for an A. if you have an A you don't have to take the final. the portfolios are a little work but its worth it. boring lecturer.

he is boring but grades real easy

awesome professor, really know his stuff

Course is tough with lots of information, but Glenn is, overall, highly recommended as a professor. His grading system is a bit complicated, but I think it's designed to work to the students advantage. He's funny, & a good guy.

very boring class, take notes from power point. fairly hard tests, but easy to get points in other areas.

I think this class is very hard, his tests are SO BIG that it is hard to study for it all. He also tests you on stuff from the NY TIMES. His grading scale makes it easy to get a good grade. 75% test avg can get you an A. Lots of notes though.

So far Dr. R is the best teacher I've had a KU. A great guy with a lot of knowledge. I'm actually thinking about becoming a polly sci. major. If you take a gov. class this is def. the dude u want to take it from! Democrats all the way!

he is the nicest most dedicated prof ever.. there are many ways to pick up low test grade scores.. he gives notes through powerpoint which makes class most interesting and he has a great sense of humor.. richardson is the MAN!! i def recommend him!

nice, funny, helpful. one of my favorites. if i were older, i would ask him out. great guy. take his class

funny guy, lots of notes. Fairly hard exams but he makes it easy to get an A. Do all the Journals, you can get an easy A if you do all the work. Kind of slow. Very open teacher.

Do both journals and you most likely get an A as long as you average a 70 on the tests. Tests are tough, just take the online quizzes and you should be fine.

He gives lots of notes so kinda boring and hard tests but as long as you do both journals and subsribe to the NY times you will get an A even if you get Cs & Ds on the test like me! Really sweet guy!!!

this class is ok.. i'm in it now and i think the tests are hard.. the book and the lecture doesn't go together well.. i just recommend that you get the NYTs and do the practice questions on-line

Dr. Richardson is smart and funny. He's extremely helpful and his class was interesting yet easy. If you do not do well in this class, you do not belong in college.

Good professor. Our class had really interesting discussions on current events. He let people speak and didn't judge them or disregard their opinions. Really cool guy. Excellent professor. His class isn't a breeze, but I learned something in it, and I usually didn't mind going to it.

He is such a nice professor, really wants you to do your best in his class. His grading system makes it very hard for you to fail his class. He is kinda boring at times. He talks about the simpsons all the time. If you need to take a polsci class take him!!

Great power points

He's a great professor. His class is easy. He makes it almost impossible for you to fail. You can fail all the exams and still pass the class w/ a C. He gives you enough chances to make up the grades you need w/ other assignments. He is funny too, he relates almost everything the simpsons, every class he brings the simpsons up at least once.

He is a good professor. It is easy to get an A. I his class a 75 is a A. He is a little funny,but of his jokes are dry. I would recommend that you take this class.

Dr. Richardson is generally rather professional in the handling of his classes (and in fact goes out of his way to appear unbiased) but his lectures tend to be dry. He wants class participation but is unskilled at evoking it. Mostly helpful out of class. Knowledgeable of the subject matter and interested. Can be long-winded and self-important.

lecture is PAINFULLY boring, class is more of a pain in the ass than anything, have to get the new york times everday and write 2 14 page papers for extra credit to get and an A, absolutley hates bush, you dont need to read the chapters, just print out the online ?'s and study them

If you are a Poli-Sci major, don't hesitate to take him. He is very thorough and as long as you stay abreast of current events and do the readings, you'll be fine. Sometimes lecture can get a little off track where he tends to go off on tangents about the day's front page of the NY Times, but then again, current events are important.

Prof. Richardson is interesting. He is very intelligent and passionate about politics. He inspires you to take an active part in the american political process. His classes are free-form & flexible enough to remain relevant with the days events. The only disheartening aspect is the number of students unprepared for class discussion. Great teacher!

This professor is really knowledgeable about the government. He is very biased in the favor of socialism even though he will deny it. He was fun to argue with even though he did not understand my position although he thought he did. I'd recommend him for any conservative or libertarian looking for a fun class, an easily won argument and an A.

He is a good professor, just gets side tracked easily. A lot of the class is discussion on current events. The problem with spending the entire class talking about current events is that a lot of book info is not delivered, but is still on the test, so make sure you read everything and take your own notes. But if you need help, he will help you.

A good professor who knows what he is talking about. Has alot of knowledge of everything he covers in his classes. Gets sidetracked on NY Times articles, which are on exams. Take the online practice quizes for each chapter, they are very helpful for each exam.

Very intelligent man. Always willing to help. Go to class & do the readings and you should be fine. NY times articles are discussed but it keeps you current with events, which is a good thing. Extra credit, quizzes when half the class is missing ( usually just writing your name down) help a lot too. A++

Great guy, great class. Show up, do work & you'll be fine. I'm learning alot.. def. take him!

He is a really kind guy that you can tell loves political science. I enjoy government so I don't mind this class. However it is annoying when he wastes class time on useless stories and then tests us on things he never went over. Also reading the New York Times sucks. Anyway, an 85 is an A on tests so that is pretty cool.

He is a really kind guy that you can tell loves political science. I enjoy government so I don't mind this class. I do hate that he tests us on the New York Times articles. I read it everyday, and I still can't figure out where he gets the questions from. Anyway, an 85 is an A on tests so that is pretty cool.

Take this class. An 85% is considered an "A". You get points for improvement and my class did bad so he made an 80% an "A". He plays cool music every day. He's VERY encouraging, and always willing to help! He's from chicago but has a Kentucky type accent. Easy to understand, practice quizes online, notes on a powerpoint. You definitely have to study but he's interesting! You'll learn a lot too!

He's really encouraging. You'll learn a lot from him. He throws in some fun trivia & cool stories. He's a cool guy.

He is a nice man, uses his notes, the book and the new york times. His tests are hard, but if you read the New York Times, you will know half the answers. all you do in class is take notes and he doesnt ever take attendance.

LOVE HIMMM.

GO TO CLASS even though attendance isn't mandatory. NY Times is the most annoying thing about the class. Almost all the test questions are from there and the online textbook quizzes. If you study, you'll be fine. If you miss a few articles in the NYT, have fun failing the test.

a really down-to-earth professor. you may hate all the work he gives with the new york time's articles, but if you're focused you'll do absolutely fine. a super kind guy who really wanted his students to take away something from the course. tests are pretty challenging but he looks for improvement rather than your average for grading.

This teacher somehow creates a gen ed class into a 300 level course. You have A LOT of information, knowing all the chapters, lecture notes and New York Times articles. Definitely do not reccomended this class. Although its hard he is considerate to tragic events and will work with you when needed.

Class is not the easiest, tests require solid knowledge of the info because they are timed. Prof is also very outspoken on his liberal views. Make sure you know the NY Times headlines as they are a sizable portion of the tests.

Stop complaining about his classes. If you receive poor grades you haven't fully grasped the material. He is a challenging professor but that is what Kutztown University needs. Not your average walk in the park professor. If you want to learn you will.

I LOVE DR. RICHARDSON. He is amazing, and he loves what he teaches, which is why he struggles to teach such a basic class. If you like politics, take him and youll love it. If you just need the gen ed credit, pick a different prof.

Was a good class for 1/4th of the semester until a large portion of my classmates dropped it (presumably after the first exam). Not a difficult class at all. Books are required and must be read. The material is interesting, however the loss of students negatively impacted the quality of the course. Richardson is a good professor.

het gets really into his beliefs, class gets boring. Class isn't mandatory but receive a lot of notes each day. American Government. Every exam including final was online, therefore even easier. Reading the books help, but again, its online. Also, don't subscribe for times news just look them up when needed online.

He is awesome. Need books

Dr. Richardson is very passionate about American Politics. Took him for American Government for a major requirement and was not dissapointed. Tests are all online and you have a few assignments here and there but if you go to class and take good notes you'll be fine. Also he gives extra credit sometimes for going to class!

He is a good and friendly guy. However, I hate politics and government and I find this class pretty difficult. I attend class and take notes but still manage to get C's on the tests (which is above the class average). The tests are open notes but they are timed and you still have to study. He gets off topic frequently which can make class a drag

Dr. Richardson's lectures are intriguing with a beautiful manner of explaining things and a nice sense of humor. He is inspiring to students to get more involved. To get the New York Times newspapers, I recommend get as many as you can, and ask a friend with an earlier class to grab some. It feels good to read them and be involved in current events

Richardson was not only a professor to me, but an advisor. He was always so helpful and willing to ensure my experience at Kutztown was enjoyable. He is easy to reach, normally, though sometimes you have to double email. But other than that he is a joy to have as an advisor and a professor!

Really funny and a great guy all around but the exams are insane!! All exams are at home, online and I still didn't do well on them. Doesn't mention anything about the online quizzes so make sure you do that on your own, and he gives extra credit for showing up on certain days at the end of the semester.

Solid professor. Interesting and well spoken. Assignments are really easy if you do the readings.

Dr. Richardson is a great professor. The best thing I liked about him is he likes to challenge your beliefs in a respectful manor which gives you a better understanding on your belief.

Enjoyable professor, very relaxed and comfortable. Attendance isn't mandatory, but I loved going to his class. Make sure to get the textbook with a connect code in it!

Dr. Richardson is a tough grader and class averages on the tests were really low, but there was a lot of e.c. I had over 10 points of it by the end of the semester. He's a very nice man too. There's also more discussion than actual lecturing. My only real complaint is that you can't go back to previous questions on the online tests.

Tests were pretty hard. I'd recommend studying your HW answers and reading the chapter at least once. It was easy to focus on more difficult classes while taking this one. I stopped writing the NYT headlines after the first exam. I did enjoy this class bc of the current political events. He is a nice person and likes class discussions. HW is easy

Gives random in-class assignments that will dramatically affect your grade if you are not there. Exam were hard and the averages were extremely low. His teaching style is fine but the information we learn versus what's on the test does not line up.

Super nice guy and gives really good feedback on written assignments. Very accommodating and encourages polite debate on the discussion post topics. His exams were kinda hard but if you do all of the textbook assignments and discussion posts you can still get an A. He also offers extra credit.

As long as you put in a decent amount of effort, this class is an easy 100. There was weekly journals and quizzes, and one essay assignment. He hands out a lot of extra credit as long as he believes you put in effort. He is a professor that is certainly not for everyone, but I enjoyed his teaching style. Very unclear grading criteria though.

I took this class as an online course during the winter of 2023 and it was not an easy class, to say the least. There are lots of readings that you have to do if you want to be successful in the course and this is not a class you should take to expect an easy A. Dr. Richardson is a very understanding professor and loves to engage with students too.

Dr. Richardson was a good professor its easy to pass as a gen ed you do have to read NYC times articles but that's easy. I did the connect assignments and got good grades on exams which were a little harder but once you got familiar with questions it was easy to ask. Attendance was mandatory for the in class points which were random.

Tests are very tough. He curves grades, especially for those who participate in class. The highest test score I got was an 85, but got an A for just trying my best. Very understanding for somethings, but didn't give me lecture notes when I had covid which was very annoying.

I took this class Winter of 2023 and to say the least this class was very intense and not your walk-in-the-park 200-level course. There are lots of NYT readings and the quizzes are not easy. He gives lots of extra credit on the discussion posts if you put in the effort and the papers do take a lot of effort to receive a good grade.

Excellent professor. His lectures are interesting and engaging. You can tell he loves his job. Tests are tricky and timed but are all online. Has easy small assignments for points. Does not take attendance but will have some end-of-lecture points available so go to lectures if you can just in case.

Dr. Richardson is a very kind, funny man, but his exams are difficult because of the lack of time given to complete them. You're given 50 minutes for a 60+ question exam with some very long questions. There aren't many grades throughout the semester. There were only exams and inquizzitives, with the inquizzitives being worth less than one point.

I would take him for a class again. His lectures are easy to follow and take notes on. Although for his exams start to study a week in advance. Once you answer a question you can't go back, and the exam covers a lot of material. Over all he is very helpful when you email him and does offer extra credit.

Dr. Richardson is a great professor, he is very kind. Class is heavy lectures so make sure to take notes. Homework is easy and a good part of your grade so make sure you get it done. Exams are pretty tough, even with note-taking and attending every class. Extra credit helps. Dr. Richardson made it a great course if you like history and politics!

This class is one large group project that spans the whole semester, my group had some difficulties and he was pretty accommodating. Professor Richardson made sure that other member's lack of work did not negatively affect the rest of the group's grade. He is also very kind as a person and cares for his students. Course load is EASY.
