A great professor when he actually sticks to the subject matter, however, he rarely does. Typically on a normal given day you can expect him to spend about 15 min. max discussing the topic at hand and the rest of the time trying to shove his own personal views down your throat.

I took this course in the summer. Dr. Domino is easiest to get along with if you repeat his views in the papers that you write. Use his line of thinking to make critical observations of the writers or the text that is being reviewed. Do not look for time outside of class and do not be late. Keep your head low, study hard, and think critically.

I LOVE THIS CLASS! He is such an amazing professor and makes the course fun! The briefs are difficult at first, but he will let you resubmit the first set of briefcases and will give you guidance on how to improve. The exams are written, but he will let you email him a preview of your written practice examples before you take the exam.

So i took Con Law 1 (POLS 4334) with him. Throughtout the semester, you must complete 25 case briefs. You must be present in class in order to turn in case brief. Participation does matter in class. He has written tests but is a very funny guy in class. Will take him for Con Law 2.

Lots of homework

I don't dislike Dr.Domino, I just cannot for the life of me keep up with the reading in this class along with all my other classes. The tests also hardly make sense, cause I did everything to the letter and still make a 75. He does give good feedback on case briefs though

Although his classes are tough because there is a lot of work to do and attendance is mandatory in order to turn the work in, I learned a lot in his class. He's a great professor and works with you to do great in his class. As long as you do the work and study hard for his tests, you will pass. I would take his classes again.

The amount of work you have to do would not be the worst if there was a clear structure in scheduling the case studies and he gave you more than an hour and a half on exams to write 4 essays at 300+ words each on subjects that may or may not fully be in the exam prep guide. His class has nothing of worth to actually learn but it is a required class

Professor Domino was a pretty great, as long as you show up to class and put in the work his class is pretty easy. In the beginning it was difficult adapting to his briefs and how he wants them done but once you do the class becomes easy. He does assign briefs for every class and as for test as long as you complete the briefs you should be fine.

Professor Domino was awesome his classes were based on the book but he post his lectures online. You must be there the days your reading assignments are due but the rest you can do the work at home. There are weekly essays on assigned readings or websites but they are easy and you can redo it if you don't like your grade. Loved him so much!!

This professor is terrible. He has no sympathy for his students. If you are someone who struggles with a disability this is the worst professor to take. He does not give you any accommodations. He does not post notes online so you make sure you attend class. Also only takes attendance by you turning in work. I will never take a class with him again

Professor Domino's class has a lot of work, but if you stay engaged and use helpful study tools like unstuck study, it's manageable. Attendance is key, and be prepared for tough grading, but the knowledge gained is valuable.

I had Dr. Domino for a graduate course, and he was an exceptional instructor with deep knowledge of the subject matter. His class is challenging, but he clearly sets expectations from day one and communicates them extremely well. If you truly want to learn and walk away with meaningful knowledge, I highly recommend taking his course.
