Very easy exams, but he still teaches you plenty. Very humorous, and friendly to all. A lot of A's and B's.
fairly easy but you learn a lot. Gives lecture notes on each chapter.
Indeed, Mr. Smith enjoys political science and loves teaching it. He delivers the material very clearly and gives many real-life examples, tells many historical stories related to each lecture to keep you interested.
This was the easiest A I ever got. You don't even need the book for ths class he teaches everything from real life. I strongly recommend this teacher for a fun, no homework, no classwork only perticipation, easy-easy-easy-A.
Really cool teacher. Most of the class discussions are not related to the book, but to everyday politics. He makes you understand that rather or not you are into politics, it still effects you in some way.
Fairly easy class so long as you can think on your own. Makes the subject a little less boring with alot of class interaction.
He is an awesome teacher. Definately take his class. He makes it interesting. it will definately be worth your time. You will learn alot, and hardly take any tests.
He is the best teacher I've had at GPC. He cares and you will learn while enjoying it. All teachers should follow his footsteps
He is a great teacher and very interesting. If you are like me with little or no interest at all in politics he really gives you something to think about and makes it fun. He works with you in anyway he possibly can. He is caring and helpful teacher. More professors should be like him
excellent teacher, makes you enjoy the topic, recommend taking him
THIS PROFESSOR IS AWESOME!I took this class over the summer so it was a little accelerated, but I learned a lot from him. I think other teachers in the GPC system could learn a few things from Mr. Siler. Great college experience!!
If not the best, one of the best teachers I have ever had. Textbook will not be needed really. He teaches you what u need to know by discussing everyday politics. If you don't get an "A" in his class there is something wrong with you.
EXCELLENT TEACHER!! Best I have ever had. He made it fun and interesting. Really gets everyone involved in daily discussions. I cant stress enough to take him!!
This has been the best ride of my life, This is one of the best teacher that Georgia Perimeter could have hired
Mr Siler is a truely great teacher. He could inspire anyone to be interested and involved in politics. With his personal experience of politics he brings the subject to life. Hes got a great sense of humor which is evident in his teaching style so theres never a boring moment. Not taking him is a big big mistake.
Mr. Siler is one of the best, most interesting and helpful teachers I have ever had. I plan on taking every class he teaches. He really makes class fun and makes you think about things in a different light. I highly recommend him!
Don't buy the book there is no need for it. All the work consisted of papers that you can bs your way through. Very easy class just get involved in the class discussions and have your own opinion and you will do fine.
Mr. Siler is the best teacher ever! He made politics interesting for me. Politics is a subject I can discuss today because I really learned alot in his class. He has a great teaching style and you will never get bored in his class.Your participation and opinion are important in this class. TAKE HIM YOU WONT REGRE HIM! HIS CLASS IS SO MUCH FUN!
This class is so easy, you dont even need to to buy the book. Anyone can make an A, if the try. He will only give u an midterm exam and final exam for taking a half semester. I reccomend u taking this class so easy.
If you want a professor that knows what he's saying based on knowledge and expierece THIS IS THE ONE!!! TAKE ANY OF HIS COURSES!
Prof Siler is what a teacher should be - a combination of experience and education with a willingness to share that knowledge in an INTERESTING and passionate way! Thanks!
Man dont waste your time buying that book. He literally tells you everything you need to know for the midterm and the finally exam and you will only take the midterm and final exam and a small "project" which is an outline of your political views. He makes political science seem interesting. He is just not some boring o'white guy.

The coolest teacher i have ever had
ALL I CAN SAY THAT THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER PROFESSOR LIKE HIM AGAIN. THIS TEACHER GOES OUT OF HIS WAY TO EVEN HELP YOU WITH YOUR PERSONAL PROBLEMS, NO MATTER WHAT IT IS. YOU LEARN EVERYTHING WITHOUT EVEN OPENING THE BOOK, AND YOU HAVE THE BEST TIME OF YOUR LIFE IN CLASS. HIS CLASSES WERE THE GREATEST PART OF MY JOURNEY AT THIS COLLEGE.
He is the best teacher ever. He puts you in with the material that he is teaching. I wish I could have him for all my classes. I love this man. He makes it worth going to classes, even when you have a bad day at work or in your other classes. You have to pick him or you WILL regret it.
Do not buy that book! I skip class like twice every week and still don't miss much. He's cool though with real life experiences. And wonderful personality.
he is the greatest teacher to ever step foot in a college classroom. the man is walking disaster when it comes to politics. you will enjoy his lectures. and you dont need to buy a book, best part is you only get 2 test through out the entire class.(mid-term and final). he is a god send.
Mr John Siler is more than a teacher, he is like a life navigator, your mentor. Mr Silver LOVES his students and his subject and it makes SO interesting to learn from him and encourage everybody to grow politically and generally. :-)
MR SILER IS THE GREATEST TEACHER I HAVE HAD IN YEARS. HE'S THE BUMB! I REFERRED MY WHOLE CLASS TO HIM. HE NEEDS TO TEACH EVERY SUBJECT THERE IS.
I recently returned back to school after many years and Mr. Siler made the transition comfortable. He is a no holds barred teacher that gets the point across in a meaningful way. His use of analogies were excellent throughout the whole semester. I would definitely recommend his class to anybody.
Mr. Siler is the best teacher to ever teach at Georgia Perimeter. I was not at all interested in POLS before I stepped in his class and he changed all of that. I wanted to come to class not just to get the credit, but to see what he was going to talk about each day, because he made it just that interesting. I loved the class.
WOW. Can't say enough about how great this man is! He is brilliant and just plain fun. Never a boring word in anything he says! Plus he is a hottie! I want to take every course he teaches!
He is wonderful. Goes out of his way to help. We only had a midterm and a final.
Mr. Siler was extremely helpful and he made the class easy and interesting.
He is the best college professor I have had thus far! I hated political science before I took his course. He broke things down and made every lesson interesting. I learned things I can apply to my life outside the classroom. I only took his class for the summer, but I would GLADLY take a full semester and any other course he teaches. A MUST HAVE!!!
What else can I say but WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent teacher. Funny and easy. The class is interesting.
Best Teacher EVER. Makes everything easy. Breaks things down to the A.B.C.'s and 1.2.3.'s.
I think that he is a great professor
Here's the d/l. This class is an easy A. Siler gives study guides that are the actual exam! He clarifies all points and answers questions at. He hates electronics especially cellphones, and he swears. I came late to class for a month (20-40 minutes late) and I still made an A, just explain your situation. He's a lot of fun.
I had Mr. Siler for Criminology AND Corrections. Hands down, Mr. Siler is an incredible teacher. He challenges each and every student to THINK, but he doesn't kill us with homework!
WONDERFULL!!!!
Great teacher! But he swears too much.Take good notes this is a very easy class. He spoon feeds everything to you. Make sure you ask questions and study his study guide for the test.
THIS IS AND WAS THE BEST PROFESSOR I'VE HAD SINCE BEING IN SCHOOL, HE MAKES YOU LOVE THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM ALONG WITH ANY OTHER SUBJECT HE TEACHES. MY SUGGESTION IS TAKE HIM! TAKE HIM! TAKE HIM! YOU WILL NOPT REGRET IT.
Blessed by God, he is a great professor..you will love your class..make you interested about the U.S politics.
Mr. Siler is a very GREAT TEACHER!!! He is also laidback and very cool!! Honestly i am not interested in Politics but after leaving his class i learned a lot and very much so interest in what's going on. Just make sure you know always WHAT'S GOING ON?? And you would earn an A!!! That's what i got.
Mr Siler is the best professor ever. Take his class if u want excitement and an easy A.
Mr Siler is a great teacher. He applies everything to real life. He keeps you on your toes at all times and his tests are very easy.
Absolutely the best!!! One of the easiest classes I have ever had in my life. The funny part is that I actually learned tons from this class despite how easy it was. You will never be bored in this class and professor Siler is so down to earth. He is a very great professor and I reccomend anyone to take this class.
Best teacher ever, you will never find one as cool as Siler, He makes his class so interesting and those who said he swears too much ,get a life your parents probably say worse to you anyway. I recommend that everyone take his class He is awesome!!!
He is the best teacher I've ever had in college. I met him the first day and had a cool conversation with him and since that day I've learned a ton although I only took the class because it is required. He relates the class to things everyday, and trust me you think you know, but you don't.
God sent Dr. Siler to GPC. He an extremely good professor and very knowledgeable about politics. Very laid back and very helpful.....I would recommend eveyone to take his class once you will not regret it. Two test all semester.........midterm and final both come straight from study guide.
Mr Siler is the best. He keeps you very informed about Criminal Justice as a whole. He cares for all his students. He relates his topics to real life issues that are happening today. He is very funny and down to earth. If you want to learn about the system Mr Siler is your man.
He is good at what he does. When I first started, I could care less about politics. However, because of his class, I have a bettenr understanding now more than ever with the election coming up this year. I highly recommend taking this class. Always know "What's Going On". 2 test, mid-term and final and they come directly from the study guide.
He grabs your attention and keeps it the whole class period.
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR! He tells you what you need to know to pass the test. He is honest, fun, and exciting. Uses current events to help you understand material. Be prepared to have fun and learn. I recomend him to EVERYBODY!
I love Mr. Siler! He is very helpful and will tell u everything u need to know to make an A! I had no interest in Political Science and know I am very political. I used to love to go to his class every day I never missed a day. He is funny and a hot old guy too!! Take him u won't regret it.
AWESOME teacher! TAKE THIS CLASS!!! I cant stress it enough! He is THE BEST teacher you can take! He is halarious and knows his stuff! I didnt really thing id like this class, but I LOVE IT!! I am considering changing my major now!
FANTASTIC TEACHER! HE REALLY KNOWS HIS STUFF AND MAKES YOU LOVE WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT! DONT WORRY ABOUT BUYING A BOOK, WE USED IT ONCE! HE REALLY IS A GREAT MAN AND A EXCELLENT TEACHER! I WISH HE TAUGHT MORE CORE CLASSES SO I COULD TAKE OTHER CLASSES WITH HIM! I WASNT AT ALL INTERESTED BEFORE HIS CLASS BUT NOW I LOVE POLITICS!
MR. SILER IS GOD WHEN IT COMES TO POLITICS. HE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD!! TAKE HIS CLASS, YOU WILL LEARN POLITICS AND ENJOY LEARNING IT. Mr. SILER IS A BLESSING FROM THE PARADISE. HE HAS BEEN AROUND THE WORLD AND KNOWS POLITIC VERY WELL. GOD BLESSES HIM AS HE IS HONEST AND FAIR. HE CARES, AND NOT THAT MANY TEACHER DO THESE DAYS. WE
THE BEST INSTRUCTOR AT GPC!!!...AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME...Oh yeah, DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK!...Midterm and finals come from lecture notes...VERY FUN CLASS!!!
GREAT TEACHER!!! Took him in the summer. Only midterm and final and a paper you have to do. He has NO guidelines for his paper!...just be passionate about what you write! Also funny as hell! TAKE HIM, learn and have fun!
Greatest Teacher of all time! Recommended me for the Phi Theta Award. Very inspiring and helpful! My final grade in his class was 100%
I took him in the summer and I never thought I would ever miss being in a class so much!!!...AWESOME CLASS AND TEACHER!
Just take his class! its very rewarding!
Mr. Siler is awesome, but if you don't like politically incorrect people don't take him. He based the class around discussion and he really wanted to hear what we said about what was being discussed. Overall he was awesome and very cool!! Highly recommended!!!!!!
'Amazing' just fails to sum up how great a teacher he really is. He has the ability to make an hour long class feel like 10 minutes. His voice is attention-getting and his personality off the hook. I take his classes even though I dont need them!
Took Pol Sci Amer Gov 8 weeks & loved every minute of it. I enjoyed going to class, actually I looked forward to class & when it ended wished it were longer.Great guy!He loves to joke! He made the class interesting & fun every day Becuz of him I am now more interested in politics. Study the guides do the paper EZ A! Participate he loves it!
Mr. Siler is an instructor like no other. What I loved about his class is that he doesnt BS. He comes to class and TALKS about real world events that relate to the class material. No slides (he hates technology), no reading from the text. His tests are verbatim Q's from his review sheet. He is relevant and entertaining. Easy A. Unforgetable person.
He tries to make the subject material interesting and get you to think.. He really doesn't use the textbook, so you have to come to class and use the study guide if you want to do well on the exams.
BEST TEACHER! only have 3 assignments paper, midterm, & final the whole semester! Took him SPring 08, he makes things interesting and RARELY ever used the book. Make sure you keep up with the study guides because that IS the test, they are all essay no multiple choice. But the study guide are the test. I got an A, very funny & easy!
Where can i start. If you need to boost your GPA, this is the teacher. Wow, he is the best. I took him for Criminology. Only mid-term and final. His test are his study guide, word for word. No books, don't have to show up, go on trips. Best class i ever took in my college experience. He talks about real issue. He is a real person.
If U get a B or C in this class, that mean U guys are lazy.There should be no eXCuse not getting an A in this class because the TEACHer is VERY clear and he will tell you exactly what he wants. He is very fair at grading and givning enough time. He is one of the best professors in GPC.I HIghly recommend you take his class!!!!!!! Siler YOu the BESt
This is a great teacher. He tells you up front what is expected of you, gives you an idiot-proof study guide for the 2 tests you'll take, and explains everything in great detail. However, he does not mince words. Do not take him if you can't take a joke. Cell phones off during class, no hats, and read the news!!
My absolute fave professor at GPC! He's totally clear on what he expects and really gets you involved with what's going on in today's politics, not just what is written in a book. Speaking of which, don't even buy the book! He's brutally honest and will tell you as it is. Wish all professors were like him!
By far and away the VERY BEST TEACHER I have ever had! If you really want to know the ins and outs of politics, this is your prof! I laughed out loud everyday in class, and even though he's what you would call a tough SOB.. he really shows how passionate he is about his subjects. Wonderful Class! I learned SOOO MUCH!
My favorite teacher! Will have you laughing the whole time. Very interesting and engaging. Two tests that come straight from study guides (he goes over answers with you before tests). I HIGHLY recommend him! Mr. Siler is a total badass!
I soooo want to change my major to criminal justice - JUST so I can take another class from him! The absolute best class you'll ever have. He does not pull any punches! If you have an answer, prepare yourself for the most HONEST of answers, cause he is not here to please anyone. Very refreshing side of politics - as opposed to the liberal side
I wish all professors taught like Mr. Siler. He makes the class fun and interesting, but you learn at the same time. I can honestly say if you fail this course it was 100% your fault.
I love Professor Siler's class! He really knows how to get his message across to us students and make it fun! Keep it up!
Take him. There is only the midterm, final, and one paper...if you skip class, & don't do the paper then you'll probably fail. Other than that you have a good chance of getting an A.
without a doubt my favorite teacher ever. if you can watch the news you can pass this class with an A. if you are emotionally sensitive you might want to find another class but if you have a good sense of humor you will love it. best class ever
Best Teacher Ever!!! Wish all teachers at GPC should be like him.
Easy A...take him & you won't regret it!!Best teacher ever @ GPC...
This guy is the man, hands down. THE DAMN BEST TEACHER AT GPC. Even though i dont need this class for my major it has helped my GPA. if you want to learn, have fun and get an EASY A, TAKE THIS GUY OR YOU ARE STOOOOOOOOOOOOPID
BEST PROFESSOR, POINT BLANK PERIOD! (POLITICS IS POWER)
Great class, kept it interesting the whole time.
The best teacher I have ever had. He makes political science interesting. This is an easy A. We had two grades a mid term and a final.
Best teacher i ever had! Professor Siler is funny and he makes his class fun and it's easy to do! I would definitely take his class again
The best teacher I ever had. Please, please and please TAKE HIM! He is an easy A...
Good guy and teaches the basics. Fun lectures. Only two tests and there are study guides. Very practical and uses recent news stories in order to make the lectures relevant. If you pay attention, read sometimes and do the study guide- easy A. Would and will take him again for criminal justice classes
Coolest old man ever if i could i would take him again
He's just the best. I wish all other professors could be like him. I highly recommend him. I took him for Political science and I am definitely taking him for Criminal Justice.
coolest teacher. actually learn while being entertained by his humor. would def take again. easy Ajust show up and listen
I JUST LOVE Mr. Siler's class. He's the best and very encouraging. He remembers faces and gives you credit for attempting to be in class. He also counts your PASS exam as an extra credit, even if you failed it. To his all that matters is that you are making an effort. Text book is not mandatory. He gives GREAT notes.
He is hands down the best teacher I have ever had. I loved his class. I took him two semesters in a row for two different classes, and looked to see if there was anything he taught that I hadn't yet taken because he is Just that awesome. You will learn and you will enjoy learning if you take his class.
Okay, if you want to actually learn criminal justice. Do not take him. He's funny , cool and chill. You will only have a midterm and final. He says he don't like to grade work. But I never show up because we never do anything but if you looking for a easy A take him.
Professor Siler was an easy A class and for those who complained, wake up and because he will be the only professor that you come across that doesn't teach out a textbook but out of current situations and relates it to the class. I took him for four courses and every single course I received an A in.
I'm a CJU major and professor Siler is the easiest of all professors in the world. His lectures are hilarious and he always interacts with his students. Whenever he gives a study guide for you to study for a test, the study guide tells you exactly what will be on the test. Uses current events as a textbook but he does uses textbook a little.
I had took professor siler for 3 classes and wish I could take him for my other courses . Really nice professor ! Easy A and he remembers you by name and face . Really enjoyed going to class and talking about current events . Really sweet professor . You dont find them like that anymore .
This professor is a fantastic professor, and he does not like for his students to break their backs studying hard for his class honestly the most fun and uplifting class of the year.
This teacher is amazing, 3 test, no homework or quizzes. Mostly talked about current events. An easy A for sure!!
