Dr. Mokeba is a fantastic prof. I have never met anyone more knowledgeable, yet more humble, than "Harry." He gave me tremendous help on a section of my dissertation back in the mid-1990s. He goes out of his way to help and takes a genuine inter

Mokeba was great - fair, interesting, and a good professor. Wish I could have taken more classes with him.

Harry is awesome! He is so funny, gives take home tests, goes over the test before and practically gives you the questions. I took him for every poli sci class I could. He's very helpful, helped me get into grad school. LOVE HIM!!

I spent a summer in Dr. Mokeba's 4043, and let me tell you - it absolutely rocked. He is a great professor, and makes sure that you know the material - he goes over the questions on the tests before the tests, and is very fair - even if he doesn't agree with you. He went out of his way to give me a test after I got stuck in NH due to a hurricane.

Nice guy!!!

He is easy. his first test is take-home, as well as the final. the midterm is in class but he gives the questions a week before. he also gives the answers to each question on the test in class so all you really have to do is elaborate on the answer that he has given. Funny guy!

Genuine and brilliant man. Interesting lectures, but he can be a little hard to follow at times. The take hom final kicked my butt!

I LOVE MOKEBA! I took him for every poli class I could. You will write alot in class, but the tests are easy b/c they come straight from the notes. Basically, all you have to do is memorize your notes and then spit them back out on the test. He is very funny, likes to pick with students though, so if you can't handle that, then don't take him.

I took Dr. Mokeba's class over 10 years ago! He is so amazing! Your eyes will be opened, although we did not have the Internet back then. He is the reason that I understand global politics as well as I do, the reason I decided to subscribe to Foreign Affairs and other publications. Take him, you will work HARD, but gain so much more!!

One of the best political science Professors at LSU!!!

Go LSU, I'm glad Mokeba is stillt here, I took his class 10 yrs ago and he's a very open minded guy who sees reality very clearly

The best teacher at LSU. Anyone who is obsessed with grades will always rag on his grading scale, especially if you don't get that precious A. Having said that, I have gotten A's in all his classes because of working hard. Mokeba is an asset to LSU and is one of the highlights of my college career.

Excellent teacher! Hard to understand sometimes but he is very helpful if you go see him during office hours.

What impressed me the most about Dr. Mokeba is how he remembers his students. I was a typical do my work and sit in the back of class yet he still remembered me based on my work. To this day he is one of my favorite teachers ever. Plus he teaches Poli Sci from a historical standpoint, not a sociological standpoint.

super nice. easy class. Lots of essay questions. Make sure you write as much as you possibly can for all of your essays. If you're unsure if they're long enough add another page or two just to be safe.

I really like Dr. Mokeba. He is extremely knowledgeable and exciting. If you have any questions, he is super helpful. His only downside is he's all over the place in lecture and has a think Cameroonian accent. Highly recommended though.

Professor Mokeba is an amazing instructor. Its not going to be easy but he is extremely intelligent and it is worth the effort just to hear what he has to say. I have taken all the classes he has to offer and never received less than a B, and I am no genius. Do your brain a favor and take his class, just be ready to put in some hours of research!

Harry Mokeba is by far the most intellectually stimulating professor that I have encountered over my three years of study in multiple degree paths at LSU. Go to his office hours and go to class you'll do well. Rewarding class from a unique perspective with fair grading. LSU got a gem in this professor, seriously. Take him. You'll learn so much.

I love Dr. Mokeba! His lectures are long but very interesting. However, you need to be able to write A LOT to pass this class. He's a quantity quality kinda guy. I wrote 20 pages for my 1st take home and got a 100. Also, Don't buy the text book!

He is a very current and always applying current events to class. He is helpful, but you need to go to his office for clarification often.

Mokeba is an awesome professor. I work full time and go to class at night and he is always willing to work with me and my schedule. He never keeps you the entire time and is a pretty funny guy. Make sure to participate. He definitely makes you work for an A, but pretty easy to get at least a passing grade bc he adjusts his grading scale.

Great guy from Africa (accent included). Good teacher, just a lot of work & writing. Grades are: research paper, midterm & final, and a FEW participation points. All are essay. This is where I learned that political science is not for me, but some people loved it. Participation points are important, but you have to know what you're talking about.

Mokeba is one of the best teachers in the political science department. I took Professor Mokeba for several classes - my favorite being African Government & Politics. He really cares about his students AND the material that he teaches.

The exams are not extremely difficult, if you study the lectures and what he suggests you cover ahead of time, you'll definitely pass the class. Took this for a credit I needed for HSS, really liked the class and the atmosphere. Mokeba has a slight african accent but it's not like you can't understand what he's saying. Definitely recommend!

His handwriting is difficult to make out sometimes, but he lets you know what he wants from you for essays and exams. Very personable and easy to get ahold of during his office hours. He is very specific in grading, but if you pay attention to what he says he wants, you'll do fine.

Dr. Mokeba does not have good presentation, based on his terrible ability to present what he's saying on the white board, but he is a must for political science. He will guarantee you know something about the subject, and he is insanely cultured. Talking to him is like visiting another country. If you go to his office hours, you will get an A.

He is absolutely hilarious! Loves to joke around the students and very passionate about the class. There are not many grades in the class but he gives you the answers to the midterm and final. The other test is take home but he grades that harshly.

He really changed the game for me. Being a PoliSci major I was unsure at first, but Mokeba solidified my love for politics. He's literally hilarious and gives you an immense amount of freedom on essays. He's incredibly helpful and gives great feedback!

I took Dr. Mokeba four different times for four different classes! Love his classes. Even though his class requires a lot of writing its very easy if you take good notes. The more you write on your exams and essays the better your grade. Show him that you care and you'll do fine in his class.

He is an amazing teacher. He's accent is very heavy but just listen and ask questions and you"ll be fine. Plus if you have a hard time go to his office hours. NO TEXTBOOK!! All you need is you, active listening and notes. But look up he writes all over the place. And speak fast. He doesn't use Moodle :(. its worth it I'm taking him again.

I really enjoyed Mokeba but he is definitely not for everyone. He's very vague in his expectations and often changes his syllabus. He also refuses to use technology and uses a chalkboard for all his class notes, which can be difficult to read. If you speak with him outside of class, he will not only help you but also respect you as a student.

Dr. Mokeba is a staple in the Political Science Department at LSU. You need him on your side. He will never give you the answer but help you interpret understanding. He's flexible and very knowledgeable about Politics but, has a thick accent and grades papers with little feedback. Truly cares about students and helps you to grow as a person.

I love Mokeba. He loved to relate to the students and show that he does want you to succeed. I legit just take classes that I know he is teaching. I love him and because I am Israeli he always seemed interested to talk to me, which I love. He cares, he is amazing, and no other professor can even compare to this amazing man.

Literally the easiest class ever

Mokeba is really funny and very enthusiastic in his lectures so the class is really enjoyable. Attendance is not mandatory but I recommend not missing class because he says things he is specifically looking for on tests (not many and not hard, graded tough). He doesnt have a moodle page which kinda sucks but he is a really good professor.

Dr. Mokeba is one of the most unique professors that I have encountered. He is absolutely hilarious, interesting, and knowledgeable. Nevertheless, if you show up to class and participate, you will do fine. While his lectures are often unorganized, he compensates by telling you what will be on the test. Overall, he is a great professor.

I have taken 4 of Mokeba's politics classes. You have to put in work, but his classes aren't too hard. He does a good job of explaining the material and tells you what will be on the tests beforehand. You really benefit from going to his office hours. His personality is great! He is extremely funny, which makes classes interesting.

Mokeba was a great professor once you figure him out. His exams come directly from the articles he talks about in class so write absolutely everything down and read it on your own time. The more you write on the exams the better your grade will be. He would often give us an answer or two during exams and was flexible with due dates if you told him.

In the beginning, it was hard to understand Mokeba's lecture, but it gets better. Once you get used to his pace, his class is really easy. Midterm and final multiple-choice questions are based on the articles that he mentioned in his lectures. For the writing parts, he will give you the prompt in advance, so there's no reason to failed his class.

I have taken Dr. Mokeba twice and he is an amazing professor! I sign up to take his classes over and over again because he truly cares about his students and his classes are always so interesting. If you arent someone who learns well without visual aids this isnt the professor for you because he doesnt use technology whatsoever. Would recommend!

I've taken Dr. Mokeba 5 times. Enough said!

Such a cool dude who really cares about politics and the world. My class was 3hrs but he never made us stay the whole time. The class is hard and definitely not one you can play around in, put if you put in the work you'll be fine. I made an A+ in the class because I did well on his exams and got B+ on his papers. Loved this course !

Love Dr. Mokeba! This is my second time with him and received A for both classes!

If you have any interest whatsoever in foreign diplomacy and international relations then this class will be extremely easy. Not only easy, but really interesting and Mokeba is the funnest man on campus. He doesn't use Moodle , you do not need the book in all reality, and he has an unusual grading system. Easy tests, unusual final exam though.

People may find him hard to understand because of his accent but it grows, and he truly is so caring and doesn't want anyone to do bad. He is CLEAR on what will be on test and midterms and truly you just need to listen. He doesn't use moodle so it is important to go to class so you have notes and can be in the loop. Funny and wants us to do well.

People gripe about his accent, but it grows on you. He is super funny and really cares about his students as long as you are making an effort as well. By no means is this an easy A class, you DO have to put in the work, but the work is not difficult as long as you go to class. He is very specific about what to expect on the exams.

Doctor Mokeba is a really nice professor. The class itself is pretty straightforward. We were virtual for this class due to the Pandemic. He took random attendance and often called on people to discuss. 3 writing assignment, 1 midterm, 1 research paper, and the final was also a writing assignment. He speaks fast but will repeat if you need.

Prof Mokeba's class was my favorite this semester. He gave us a midterm, research paper, and a final exam. The midterm was multiple choice and essay, and the final was strictly essay questions. Mokeba is passionate about international relations and seems to genuinely enjoy teaching. His energy is contagious, and he seems to care about his students!

Very eccentric. For this particular class, the aide posted lecture notes on Moodle making it very easy to have something to look back on. I personally used the aide's notes and just expanded them during lectures. However, class is graded with only 6 grades; it was mostly open book essay-type questions and one multiple-choice exam (closed book).

He truly cares about politics and political science. This is probably his first year teaching POLI1001, but it was so much fun!! He does grade extremely hard on his essays, but he will give you feedback and help if you email him before the due date! He's an amazing teacher, I worked hard for my A, and he knew it. I loved him, would take again!

He lectures for the majority of class. His African accent makes him a little hard to understand at first but you get used to it. He is really funny and passionate in class and does not grade hard at all. I took his Comparative Politics class and assignments are long papers on a choice of countries but there is a lot of time given to complete them.

I have taken every course Dr. Mokeba offers and I've only been at LSU for 1.5 years. There are a few essays and readings but he makes the class interesting and will do whatever to help you understand the material. Please take any course of his at LSU.

Mokeba has an accent, so just pay attention to context if you didn't catch something. He's pretty cutthroat in class as far as questions and participation go. Moodle is not a skill set he has, so don't expect to be able to reach him.

Mokeba is my favorite professor at LSU, guy is hilarious but also informative. Have taken him for 2053,2057 and 1001. If you do his essays to his page max you will get an A in the class and he will enjoy you as his student. guy is goated

Dr. Mokeba is one of my favorite professors at LSU. He makes the class interesting even if the material is rather boring. participation is 10% of your grade but honestly if you just show up youll get a decent grade. he gives clear guidelines for the papers, so if you follow that youll do fine.

I really like him as a person and hes really funny, but I did not like his teaching style. He was very unclear with his grading and homework. You also have to go to class because he is not very good with technology/zoom and you cannot understand him at all if you attend via zoom.

Dr. Mokeba always kept class fun and interesting which made me want to go to class. You absolutely have to go to every class because he does not email very much or use moodle. There are only a few assignments so your grade on everything matters.

Dr. Mokeba's teaching style seems erratic at first, but he is knowledgable and tries to present as many perspectives and insights as possible on the material. You need to read the international news each week to keep up with topics for class that you may be asked to write about. He will help you if you have any questions and wants you to succeed!

Don't email, go to office hours. He is very interesting and knows lots of stuff. He can be hard to follow sometimes because he's not very organized and his brain works fast. I loved him, but he is so ADHD. If you are the type of person who needs organization, he might drive you insane. Go to class and he'll tell you what's on the test and paper.

He is so precious! I truly enjoy going to his class. I recommend going to every class and taking notes. He makes it clear the correct answers he is looking for so the tests and papers, they are not bad at all. If you have questions go to his office during hours. He keeps my attention very well, but he scribbles on the board like a toddler.

Easily my fav class. He is a really good teacher & its clear that he wants his students to actually learn, not just memorize information. He's very funny and interactive with the class during lectures and will literally tell you what to write on tests to make a good grade. Def go to almost every class and take notes bc its a lot of information tho.

There's very few assignments and Dr. Mokeba is really entertaining. Read through the class notes because he goes a little fast sometimes. If you're taking the weekly class, don't worry, we were never there past 5 pm (3-6pm).

Professor Mokeba is a good professor, however his lectures are just usually all over the place, I have a book for his course just in case because I feel as if I'm going to need it, but he usually gives us the answers to the tests while in class, His accent is very thick as a warning and he likes to just scribble things on the board.

Professor Mokeba is an amazing professor! He's so sweet and gives extensions if needed, I would highly recommend his class to incoming first year students! He can be a bit whimsical and just scribble stuff on the board and has a very thick accent but overall he is very helpful in class!

Definitely take him if you can. His classes are so easy and he is a really easy grader. He does have a thick accent, but he posts all of his notes on moodle and will repeat himself a lot to make sure you understood him. He also tells you what the test questions are before the tests.

if you stuggle with understanding accents, don't take his class. But it will be the easiest you take. He makes you write in bluebooks in class for exam essays - but you can cheat super easy cause he gives you the prompt in advance. Show up, talk, and take half decent notes and you will get a good grade.

Professor Mokeba is the MAN. He is so funny and very smart. His lectures are very sporadic and he scribbles on the board, but overall I loved this class. Tests are simple and he is a lenient grader. 10/10 would recommend.

he slayed

Professor Mokeba has a thick accent and tends to have no outline for his lectures but that is the fun of his class. He is incredibly witty and is so passionate about what he teaches. If you attend class and put in the work for the research papers you will be fine. The tests are straightforward since he gives you the questions before.

Mokeba is the best. So funny and so smart. He slays fr. He gives you the answers and questions for every test before hand and he is a relatively easy grader. His monday class never goes all the way through, and he usually asks when we want to leave. I enjoyed his class a lot, and I highly recommend him. I am the worst with accents and his wasnt bad

Mokeba is very passionate about what he does, he's a great professor. He likes to joke often. He's a pretty lenient grader and doesnt take points for late work, just don't abuse it. You have to place very close attention during lectures and yes, he does scribble all over the board. Does not update moodle often. Gives questions for exams beforehand!

He doesn't grade you on very much, and yes he's hard to understand. But, he posts all his lectures and the notes that go with them. Out of your 3 exams, 2 are take home. I barely went to class but he gave me a 80% participation grade. He's not difficult at all, if you put in little effort you'll at least get a B.

Dr. Mokeba was my favorite professor at LSU. I took the majority of his political science classes. I learned so much from him. He inspired me. I looked forward to his classes.

Professor Mokeba's class is a lively experience. With his thick accent and unstructured lectures, it requires engagement, but the exams are straightforward if you attend and take notes. unstuck AI proved helpful for effective study prep.

Professor Mokeba is probably the best poli sci instructor at LSU. Yes, he can be difficult to understand at times but he records all of his lectures and posts the entire semester's notes because he truly wants you to succeed. He's just old school so showing up to his office hours is better than emailing him.

Mokeba has TERRIBLE handwriting LOL. He teaches more verbally than he does with writing cohesively on the board so you really have to know how to follow along. However, he is SO sweet and accommodating. Has notes posted for the entire semester for you to follow along, and explains EXACTLY what to do to get an A on every assignment.

He's really a nice man. He loves making jokes and is very funny. Class isn't hard at all for a 4000 level. He provides written notes on Moodle. 10/10 tbh. He cool

he genuinely is funny and has easy tests and assignment. only once a week and he doesn't keep you for the full 3 hrs. super chill and easy to pass for sure.

He's great! He encourages participation, but does not rely on it. He is a little bit difficult to understand sometimes with his accent and how fast he talks, but as long as you're paying attention you'll be fine. He gives you all the information needed for the exams and papers. Only bad thing is that he does not update Moodle regularly.

If you are a decent student who regularly attends class and takes notes you will be fine! Most students who didn't do well were the ones who went to class ONCE. His accent isn't that bad so don't listen to what other commenters are saying. It is always better to WRITE MORE than less. I believe he grades off of word count…
