There is no doubt that it is a difficult class, but it is not impossible. Mr. Green expects exellence, which is not unreasonable. The key to his class is figureing out a study system. For instance the list of terms, take those to class and fill them out as he explains. Also make a study group and have each person specialize in a section & teach it

Partly hard but definitely entertaining. Just skim the chapters before the test and you'll do fine(also do the practice Q's from the book's website). All the test questions come form the manufacturer. Don't forget to find the answers to the quiz questions he posts on his site. This class is a no brainer if you get the quiz answers and study a bit.

You think he's a good professor, until you see how he grades. He believes that everyone should be English majors, and is very critical on how much you actually "learned" in class.

This is a very difficult class, but you will learn a lot! Tests every 3-4 weeks out of the main text. Quizzes every other week out of 'taking sides'. Final and MT are on his lectures. My best advice is print out the Final Exam sheet and write any possible essays as they come up in class, then you'll have them done for the final and midterm.

To get an easy B in the class you have to: 1. Ace all the weekly 3 question quizes. 2. Ace your final. To ace the final print of the list of possible essays and write detailed notes on the subjects he discusses in class. Trust me do this and you'll get a B.

Hands down the worst professor I have ever had. His way of teaching was awful and his tests were the hardest ever. We started out with around 30 students in my class that semester, but there was about 6-7 after midterms. DO NOT TAKE ANY OF HIS COURSES!

There was always an assignment, quiz, or test coming up in his class. He talks about the mid term and final material in classes, but you have multiple test and quizzes throughout the semester that are based off material you have to read in the TWO textbooks he assigns. If you want sanity, dont take his class, Lol.

Yes, his class is difficult and you have to study and work for your grade, but Prof. Green might be the best teacher at DSU. His grading material is very clear. He is very invested in his work and really knows his stuff. He is funny and went to great lengths to make his curriculum. You will learn a lot from this class is you actually do the work.

Professor Green's class was challenging, but also liberating. I would say this is probably the hardest class I've taken in my major field, mainly because I wasn't familiar with International Relations what so ever. Professor Green made the topic interesting and engaging throughout the semester. Follow his instruction to the T and you will be fine.

His class is difficult- only if you dont go to class & take good notes. He is very intelligent, & he wants you to succeed. He tells you exactly how to take his midterm and final. He is fun to listen to & I loved the debates. You will need to read the book to do good on the tests in the testing center.

Professor Green's exams are ridiculous and his grading criteria is unclear and INCONSISTENT. I did everything right on the first written exam but was surprised when I received a D. I went to his office to go over the test and he immediately changed it to an A. Graded with the same criteria both times.

Professor Green is quite strict and very liberal, except for his views of a free market economy. I would not recommend asking questions or saying anything that would lead him to believe you are conservative. His grading does become a bit more harsh on that basis, though I don't know whether he really thinks about it or not.

The biggest problem I had was him was that he doesn't use Canvas's grading and it makes it very unclear and difficult to figure out your overall grade. He also gets off topic a lot when giving examples to the point that I would forget what he was giving an example for. His tests are very hard and there is a lot of reading and writing involved.

This professor is very difficult to work with. His office hours are extremely short(only 30 minutes at a time) and he often cancels them anyways. His grading technique is extremely complicated and it is difficult to determine what grade you have or what grade you will have. Honestly this class has been my least favorite thing ever.

Prof. Green was by far my least favorite teacher, we had a quiz every Thursday on the books we read for the class. The quizzes are so random, they have no background information from Green or what he wants you to specifically study. Everyone transferred out leaving me and about five students by the end of the term if that says anything.

Professor Green is the most narcissistic teacher I have ever had. He gives quizzes based off the assigned books but the questions are very difficult and the way he prepares you for them is by giving you a practice test with 60 questions and 6 of those questions are on the quiz. The other 4 questions are on things discussed in class which is a lot.

Here's the thing, Professor Green is an awesome person, but the way he teaches is ridiculous. On tests, you have exactly the amount of time required for somebody who knows everything to complete the test, on his written tests, you have to learn an entirely different style of writing that honestly makes no sense or else you will miserably fail.

This class is really difficult, so prepare to work. Started with over 30 people in my class, ended with 9. There is a quiz every week with lots of reading and work outside of class. His tests are also very strange. But, I felt like you can learn a lot in the class if you put in the work.

He just isn't on top of things. You never know what your grade is until he sends you an update email because none of his grades are on canvas. He's older and has a hard time making clear sentences while lecturing. Your grade is also almost 100% compiled from your quiz and test scores. one quiz a week.

He delivers no value whatsoever. Teaching is not his strong suit and I wish he'd just retire already. Learned nothing from him even though I am quite interested in the subject he was supposed to teach. Doesn't care about students, but just comes to campus, does his thing, and leaves.

DO NOT TAKE PROFESSOR GREEN! He is so strict, and a narcissistic, misogynistic old man. He has a quiz every week based on the 120 pages you are supposed to read the week prior on information that is pointless for the curriculum. You never know what your grade is because he doesn't post them. It feels like his goal is to make you fail. Worst class!

Sit at the front of the class, actively engage and force yourself to be there. Reread the notes, ask questions. READ THE MATERIAL, also he gives an exam guide, use that like it's the BIBLE. Take heed to what he says because it will determine your success in his class. Overall great professor to have once!

He knows about what he talks about. His lectures are interesting if you are willing to listen. He does his best to connect with students despite his age. He uses 2 textbooks, 1 for debates and 1 for reading quizzes. I recommend using a quizlet for those. Overall I learned a lot and had a good time, but was still more work heavy than necessary.
