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.
Professor Caro really makes students think in his American Political Thought class. He has some unorthodox ideas, however, his seminar style class spawns interesting class discussions. Keep an open mind!
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.
professor caro was very leniant. He made the class interesting.
easy class if you fail this class you should drop out and rethink your life goals. dont take it in the morning, but if you do get your caffine fix or bring a pillow.
Professor Caro is pretty easy, you just have to make sure you go to class to get the online quizez right. The review sheets are EXACTLY like the TEST!! there are 3 test. NO FINAL just a regular test. He is very sarcastic and his jokes are very lame but he will laugh. overall good teacher as far as haveing a easy class.Inever used book just p.points
Supremely sarcastic. Easy but still very hard to understand sometimes.He's really funny and will most definately help you if you mess up on your online quizzes.If your time runs out he will reset it and give you a second chance.Attend his class,keep up w/the powerp. presentations and you should be good!
Very easy class. Exam reviews are EXACTLY like the actual exam (word for word!). Quizzes are online and somewhat based on group exercises. His jokes are sometimes corny. He's kinda cute but a little weird. His PHD was probably in sarcasm. However overall I definitely recommend him. You should have no problem getting a decent grade in this class.
ok professor, very easy on test..read and do your test review and you will pass the class b or a
I recommend taking his course. The assignments were fairly easy and as long as you attend class, you will have no problem with the quizzes. He's can also be funny when lecturing which helps if you are not interested in politics.
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.
Good prof.who loves his job and Poli Sci. Test are straight from review. Papers are not too difficult and some fun discussions. Take this class its fairly easy A
Prof. is a nice guy with a ackward sense of humor that works. Tests are not hard if you use the study sheet. I would recommend this prof. for anyone who wants a good grade.
Good professor, teaches well and keeps the class interesting. 9 Online quizzes, but are fairly easy. Review sheets are available for tests, you just have to find the answers and study straight from them. 1 paper due, not hard. He's great, take him.
He is a VERY easy class. Study the review and you will do fine. He does his lectures on powerpoint , that is online as well.
very nice to talk to if you have problems in the course.
He's pretty easy, weird sense of humor. You should definently go to class for the group projects they are usually on the test and sometimes worth a grade.
Lectures are based on readings and are very helpful. Has a sense of humor and is nice.
Not really funny, but tries to be in a quirky way. Not too much, not too little, just right.
This prof is soo nice, his sense of humor is weird but its so weird it makes you laugh still! his class is easy, do your study guide and you will make an A in the class. his online quizzes are also easy.Overall he is a great,easy going teacher
I don't know how you would be able to fail or make less than an A in his class. I thought his class was way to easy and couldn't comprehend why others were making 40's and 50's on his exams?? But those were the same students who never showed up to class!
He is a great professor. He is knowledgeable. has a sarcastic sense of humor. He is funny dah. test are easy if you read the book. in class group exercises are fun... overall great class plus you learn the stuff.
DON't TAKE HIM :( :(
Yes, take him!!! He is awesome, creative and super smart. At first I thought he was a wierd Pol Sci geek but as the semester progressed, I REALLY enjoyed his lecture. His test are very fair as long as you read the material. I wish he had more classes available. I would recommend him with HIGH regards! Take his class, you will be fulfilled! Promise
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 can only imagine their grades.
I Took him for both POLS 2303 & 2304 at the same time, and I gotta say he's an awesome professor. His material and class discussions are super fun. Gives only 3 tests for which gives the Review u must do from the text, and tests are exactly alike. Easy Online quizzes, and he's lenient towards the due dates of quizzes. Had lots of Fun! Take him!!!!
He's Awesome. He has an interesting sense of humor. Once you get it; he really is funny!!!
Very interesting guy. class is a lot of fun. tests are easy as long as you do the review. Definitely take his class.
Awesome teacher! ALot of people dont get his dry/sarcastic sense of humor, but he is really funny. Class is always fun and his quizzes are easy as long as you attend class and are there for group activities which are also fun. As long as you do the review youll ace the tests because they are basically the exact questions. Id deff advise to take him
I took him for the 2nd part of government and he is easy. Make sure you go to class though because the quizzes are on some group activities. The test are exactly like the review so do those too. You will need the book for the review. Overall he was great.
I love professor Caro, he is so funny, he makes class interesting and its very easy to learn. I had him for poly sci 2303. There are 3 test to take and one essay at the end of the semester.
Professor Caro literally makes politics fun. He definitely capture an audience.
In the two years that I have been at UHD, this guy is by far the best professor I have ever had. Always said or did something during each lecture that made me laught. Definetly recommend!!! His class is very friendly towards the working student
Fairly easy class, do your reviews prior to each test and you'll real good. Funny Guy! One Paper which he grades fairly hard on it. Would recommend! You should have no problem achieving an A in class!
I loved his class he is truly an amazing professor, very smart, pretty hot, funny man.i took him for both pols classes and i learned alot. I highly recommend his classes you have overall 3 tests, some quizzes, and no final so thats a plus also.
This dude is off the chain!!! I absolutely loved his class because he always had something funny to say or something to do that was funny. I would recommend him for any Poly Sci class. Online quizzes, 3 tests, 1 essay...you have no choice but to pass!! Frikkin awesome Professor for UHD!!!
I have to admit, I hate government... but this professor makes the fun class and interesting! He's an awesome professor.. wish more professors could be like him! Easy class! Study guide = Test!
He is so hilarious. Some people take his sense of humor the wrong way because it is kinda weird but he makes class interesting. You dont have to go to class but all his quizzes(about 10) are based on group activitys done in class. He gives study guides for his tests and uses the exact same questions in the test. No HW except one easy paper.
Haha he was so Awesome within the first week of taking POLS 1 that went ahead and signed up for his POLS 2 also. Taking him for both classes in one semester was a life altering experience. He is so smart and wickedly hilarious. Class is not a piece of cake, you do have to work hard on reviews and projects. I hope he teaches other history subjects!
Awesome Teacher!!! If he taught other subjects, I would take him. He made a boring subject very interesting. It is obvious he does care about what he teachers, and cares about what you learn.
HANDS DOWN, the best teacher at UHD. I could sit in his class for hours. I suggest and pray every student have a teacher like him at least once in their lifetime.
If ur graduating from UHD u MUST TAKE THIS Professor. He is sooo funny, his comic timing is awesome. Anytime someone mentioned him I busted out laughing because it was so much fun in his class, We learned so much about everything going around us such as economy etc.. I came prepared to sleep in this class instead I did not miss a single second.
GREAT TEACHER VERY FUNNY! SCORED AN A WHEN I WAS EXPECTING SOMETHING LOWER. VERY HANDSOME. DEF. RECOMMEND HIM.
AWESOME PROFESSOR!!!!! I absolutely loved coming to his class!!! Take him!!!
Dr. Caro is extremely funny and he made us laugh every class period. His reviews are exactly like the exams which can be an easy A. The quizzes on Vista can be kind of hard and not make sense, so I suggest you get someone's number so yall can on it together. I passed his class with an A, so I recommend you take him.
Awesome Professor. Great Sense Of Humor! I have recommended him to a lot of my friends so I would definitely recommend him to you! He has a good sense of humor and makes class fun and interesting. Gives a study guide for the exams which is VERY helpful!
When I first started college, I really thought I had the best professor. This is my second year of college. I took Caro Spring 2011. Wow. I can definitely say by far knocks out all the professors that I've had. He is THE BEST professor I have ever had. I came in the class not caring about politics. Came out thinking politics into that bad!RECOMMEND
Great professor! Makes government fun and interesting! If you don't really like government too much, try taking his class. I didn't like government but being in his class influenced me to keep an open-mind about politics. It's actually not that bad! 3 exams + one paper.
Great funny professor.
He is the best political science teacher ever, he is super easy and always says " Welcome Students, welcome to the learning enviorment of success." He goes through to politcal news everyday. Im so glad i took him, I highly recommend him for anyone that doesnt like boring lectures.
Easy class. Study guides for exams are the actual quizzes! Guy is corny at times but teaches what he knows. About 3 exams 1 paper and like 9 online exams. easyy easy easy
This professor is FANTASIC. Take his class if you don't want a boring professor! He is hilarious and some-what corny. Enjoyed being in his class and the weird part was that his class was the only one I looked forward to compared to my other three classes. 3 exams. Couple of online quizzes. 1 paper. Recommend.
Loved this professor! Made the learning environment fun but at the same time professional. Will definitely miss him!
great professor. learned a lot in this class. made an A
Strange bird, but super funny. His lectures are powerpoint and his tests are straight from the book and the review. He takes attendance and requires a 2 pg paper which you will deliver in a class presentation. I hate POL SCI but he makes it easy and fun. Just make sure he sees you and you volunteer in class discussions
Great professor and super funny in a awkward way. Definitely made the learning fun and interesting! Recommend! Gives review for all exams, online quiz every week, 1 two-page paper that you can present to the class ( presentation optional) and fun group work. One of my favorite professors at UHD. Attendance mandatory. Textbook required.
He's a pretty funny professor who has a lot of knowledge about politics. I'll recommend y'all to take his class. You'll do good if you show up for his class everyday.
Loved this class. Definitely need to do some work and there's one paper you have to write but I really didn't mind coming to class. He makes the class interesting and I learned so much! The only thing that I didn't like was that he doesn't let you choose your group partners for group discussions. But I would take his class again anyday.
Yet again one of the best profs at UH-D. He makes the material easy to understand, while being a bit dorky and funny on the side. There is no better way to learn than having a professor that keeps his students engaged on the material. Not the hardest class, but you will have to do some studying of your own. Not impossible to make an A.
Must buy the book if you want to pass the course. Great professor, really opened my mind up to politics and he makes the class fun. Wish he taught more classes I would take him again. Lots of group discussions, online quizzes, 4 exams, 1 paper.
I disliked this class so much at first. The books are awful to read. On the first couple quizzes I made horrible grades BUT as the class goes on, it gets better and the quizzes get easier to take. There are only two papers and the final was easy. He gives group work so that helps to raise your grade. I ended up making an "A" in the class.
This Guy is AWESOME!!!
He's Awesome!!
THIS GUYS IS AMAZIIIIIING!THE CLASS IS REALLY EASY BUT TO PASS THE TEST YOU MUST HAVE THE BOOK ADN DO THE REVIEW!! I AM DEFF TAKING HIM AGAIN FOR POLS 2304
Very laid back teacher don't even need to show up to class as he gives reviews for his test and all his tests are straight out the book. He gives some in class activities to better understand the topic afterwards a quiz will be posted on blacboard to within a week. Great professor, definatly take him for 2305
Amazing professor! He makes class fun and interesting. Quizzes are very easy! I loved this class! :))
Good professor. Take him if you can.
80% of the exams will be from the book and the rest will be from his lectures so text book is a MUST. Funny guy and group activities are fun. The reviews for the test are the tests..the only difference between the two is the review doesn't have any answer choices. There is also one essay you have to do. Pretty much an easy class. Take him :)
Prof Caro is super easy! He tries his best to make political science as easy as possible. Test reviews are copies of the test without answers but the answers come from the textbook not lectures so you'll have to read. Does lots of group work and gives quizzes based on group activity regularly.
Professor Caro is by far the best teacher I have had. He is funny and always sets you up for "ultimate student success." I highly recommend taking his classes.
Great professor, very funny, easy exams, one 2 pg essay at the end of the semester, presentation optional but you get extra credit for presenting. Hate political science but he makes the class interesting. Take him if you can!
This professor is awesome. Great nice and and good sense of humor. If you do the quizzes and reviews then you are sure to pass.
The reason why I loved coming to this class was because the professor knew how to make the lectures interesting and funny. He has this awkward and weird personality but he is also humorous. I found the reviews to the exam VERY helpful and I have learned so much in this class. An asset to this university. RECOMMEND!
He is really not a helpful instructor! Terrible! I'm a foreigner without backgroud for US politics. He teached nothing in class. He do give the review sheet which questions are exactly to exam, all the answer are from the text book. To native student it's supper easy but English is problem for me to read. I asked for help and he never cared
Prof. Caro IS a little weird and strange. He's funny at times and likes student feedback in class. His class is easy if you attend and pay attention. U are required to do 12 online quizzes, 3 classroom tests and a position paper. Do buy the book because its for your benefit. He gives u review questions for the test with answers taken from the book.
The bad: weird sense of humor that borderlines condescending. He treats all students like they are brain dead. His lectures have nothing to do with the tests. The good - He gives you a review sheet that is basically the test, use the book and memorize the answers... If your looking for an easy A and can ignore his rude comments, thentake his class!
Jason Caro is funny prof. He make it political science fun. Class is very easy. Exams are straight out from review. He will post about 9-12 online quizzes. It will be from in class group assignment and . You need pay attention to his lectures to do well on the quizzes. If you do well on quiz and exam, you will make an A for sure. :)
Read the chapters. Study the review. show up to class.
Gives 2 exams the whole semester about 12 quizzes which are very simple. he is a interactive prof keeps you on your toes. he has an odd since of humor but it'll make you laugh. Take him just read the reviews and listen before you take the quiz (10 question quiz)
Dr. Caro is a quirky prof. with an awkward sense of humor. Study guides are provided, but they are mostly more confusing than helpful. Just read the book. He also makes the class boo individuals if they give an incorrect answer. He insists that it's "negative reinforcement", but this is actually positive punishment. Very strange experience overall.
As a teacher, he's not very clear . He will show you a powerpoint say a few things about and move on. He never goes over the material precisely and clear. He will really leave you hanging. Also he gives a review sheet for the test, but half the questions aren't from the book. Do yourself a favor and try to look at other professors.
The by far the greatest professor ever. He is funny. You learn in his class. It's not boring. Test are exactly what he reviews in class. Power points are excellent no surprises. A must take I promise you will not be disappointed!
Professor Caro is great! He has a wonderful sense of humor and makes politics very interesting. It was a fairly easy and enjoyable class.
Only memorize the review for exams, his powerpoints are not covered on the exam, nor are the quizzes. 2 EXAMS .One position paper which is graded heavily. The rest of your grade comes from quizzes that are online, answers to these are given in class when you do group activities. Really laid back class Does not respond to email. Use quizzlet.
TAKE THIS CLASS Caro is amazing, quizlet is all I gotta say Quizzes once a week and a few worksheets in class, study guides and tests match hallelujah... He's one of the professors that understands life and wants to actually help his students be successful. I actually learned stuff and got an A. wow school rocks
Study Outlines have the exact Qs that will be on the 2 exams. Weekly quizzes: make sure to come to class or else you will not know As. 1 paper. Gave about 3 chances for extra credit (3ptsif you present, 1 pt if you ask a question to the presenter; 30 pts added to avg of quiz grd to 1 group; 30 pts added to avg of quiz grd to half the class.)
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.
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.
STAY AWAY!!! His class material is confusing and we had quizzes every week. The final was a essay and he never once explained what we had to write about.
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
Great guy! There are quizzes every week but they are all based on the group assignments we have during class so its pretty easy (as long as you come to class).
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.
