Amazing. Everything was posted onto canvas so no need to show up to class. Has a weekly 10 question quiz that was word-for-word from the textbook, and a Packback. All the tests are open-note/book. The one thing is all the tests are ONLY true/false, so you need to think - but almost all the questions come directly off his slideshows that he posts.

(Actually 206 review) TAKE HIM! I was nervous to take POLS at A&M because I heard it can be difficult but he made it so understandable. Just one 10 question quiz and a packback a week along with 3-4 tests over the span of the semester. Look over his notes on Canvas and you'll be good. I'm already signed up to take his 207 class next semester!

This class is an easy A if you put in the effort. Weekly packbacks and quizzes, and he takes the top 10 from each and drops the rest. There were 4 exams (drops the lowest) that are 50 true/false and are open note/internet... most of the answers come from his lectures. I took both 206 and 207 and got As on both, very doable if you put in the work.

Professor Chupp does an excellent job creating clear connections between concepts throughout the course, emphasizing them heavily throughout the semester. It's important to attend lectures and pay attention to his commentary, but if you miss one or two you can always catch up from the slides. I'd recommend him in a heartbeat!

Professor Chupp is one of the best professors I've ever had.

I love Chupp! He's a great professor and his online class wasn't hard at all. There are so many grade opportunities and you only need to do about 75% of the material assigned so if you miss a few things you'll be ok. I cannot recommend him enough if you can take Chupp for POLS
