New prof from Austin. Looks to young to have a Ph.D. Very leniant, laid back and easy going. EVERYTHING that is on the review sheet is on the exams so show up to class to make sure you get them. Notes are on powerpoint pres that are posted online. I would definitely recommend him for POLS. Take him if u dont want to stress.

He is a good teacher but in class, I got the feeling that if you did not agree with his beliefs that he was against you. Also it was funny when he was sarcastic, but he should still answer a student's question. He was available to students, however if you e-mailed hima question, he did have a snide remark. Read the textbook and you will be fine.

Good professor. He allows for alot of student questions which usually lead to alot of heated debates. Class is not alway very intereting though. test reviews are the exact same as the test, just without answer choices. do the review correctly n ur guaranteed at least a B on the test. One paper due the whole semester and it only has to be 2 pages.

Check his ratings from UTSA, to get a balanced view. He is a fairly good teacher. Easy A.He is very opinionated, sarcascic in a funny way. I noticed that he can be vengeful i.e he was lecturing one day and offended some students, who walked out of class. When they walked out he took roll which he never does.

I am not a fan of PS but he made the class manageable. Theres only 1 test and the final!! He gives reviews and the reviews are exactly like the test. You dont need the book for the class but you do when checking the answers for the review. theres weekly quizzes which you need to go to class to understand and pass the quiz.

Skip class? You won't pass.

Overall an easy class, but as a political science major I was unimpressed and disappointed - I wouldn't take him again. Very dry and demeaning since of humor and uses "positive ridicule" when you don't agree with HIS answers. If you're looking for an easy credit - take him. If you're looking for an education - take someone else.

Dr. Caro is a very easy going professor. I took him for a hybrid class, and we would have quizzes every week online. We had a mid term and final. Wrote 2 papers overall in the semester.

Oh Professor Caro, referring to yourself in third person will never fail to amuse me. I took him for Political Thought and our assigned readings were based on a book he published. His critique for everything is: "too indirect". The answer has to be based on what PROFESSOR CARO thinks and everything but is not acceptable. It's hard to pop a bubble.

weird, condescending, power points are vague , doesn't provide enough knowledge about the theorist and yet he expects you to think as though they would. you must agree with him even if it doesn't make sense to you, he won't explain why you are incorrect just make you feel dumb when actually it's his fault for not providing enough background.

Does a lot of group work assignments. MAKE SURE YOU COME TO CLASS, his weekly exams are from what you learn in class. You cant google search anything, I tried believe me. He sounds like Bob Ross, and his class was very enjoyable and easy. Reviews are exactly the same for the test

Great teacher no complaints, but you do need to read the books he says they will be your essays. also come to class he talks about the reading and tells jokes and will go down the attendance list asking questions to every single person in the class.

Assignments were clear from day one, there were two textbooks used, one film. They are all enjoyable reads, it is best if you read and don't fall behind. Weekly quizzes are all chapter based. There are monthly news updates, which is a discussion post. Everything is very straightforward and easy to understand. How well you do is all up to you.

I have nothing positive to say about this class. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!! Nothing but quizzes that he pulls out his ass and confusing-vague writing assignments. He makes you buy 6 books to read. He does not review any of it besides his creepy voice notes. If you want to struggle through ethics take him but if not avoid him like the plague.

Although the last post made for this class is not incorrect for certain things, they did exaggerate. Weekly quizzes are hard, but they're doable. There were chapters that I didn't read & I managed to pass the quizzes (CTRL+F.) We needed THREE books (all very cheap w/ free PDFs online - only read certain chapters per book) Pt. 1 of 2

Professor Caro was a character of a professor but super easy and chill. He has an interesting awkward personality but he will make ya laugh once in a while during lectures. The work that you have to do is simple and based off in class activities in class and he only gives 2 papers during the semester. You won't need the textbook in you go to class.

Honestly, I regret taking his class. Although the work isn't hard as long as you show up to class, he gave me a zero on my signature assignment because I didn't go above and beyond the instructions. It makes no sense. Sometimes his instructions don't even make sense.

A LOT of people don't care about their students, this one does!!!!! yes, I have a low grade in the class but that is because I was working 2 jobs and I had family matters to deal with. At one point in his class, I had 7 missing assignments and he heard me out and reopened them for me, taking some points off for lateness of course.

If you want an easy A do not take this professor, his tests are confusing, his grading is confusing, weekly confusing quizzes with 7 questions that most of the class failed just for getting 3 wrong.I personally would not take this professor again. I did get an A but it took a lot for me to get that grade.

Caro's course was very easy but also confusing. I had him for hybrid classes and met only once a week. 90% of his grade is just weekly pop quizzes based off group activities so if you take him make sure to not miss his lectures. He gave 5 extra points on your entire grade if you presented your controversial topic. his exams are based off the review

The grades were mainly from the quizzes he would give after lectures and he would give us the answers for them in the lecture through group exercises. The Reviews he gives for the exam and the final are EXACTLY like the exams except the review is fill-in-the-blank and the test is multiple choice. He is hilarious and cares about about his students.

Professor Caro's class is a solid option if you're looking for an easy credit. While the material can be dry at times, his weekly quizzes and study guides make it manageable. unstuck study was a huge help with exam prep.

There is a lot of homework, most of it is easy; some of it is difficult. This is because his instructions can be vague. Poor communicator. Avoid him and his classes.
