Sutter's government class is a cakewalk. Easy, easy multiple choice open-book tests. He gives a take home final exam which consisted of 2 essays. He only teaches for about half the class time and lets everyone go which is A-OK with me. Cool guy. So far, all of my government profs have had ponytails.

He is a very good professor. I took his internet course and it went by pretty quickly. However, you do have to write a paper and there are three exams which are pretty straight forward as long as you do the reviews and participate in his online discusions. Word of advice, read everything he posts because you need it for the exams.

You want a good grade in his class? You got to put time in to working hard. He has 4 tests and 1 research paper, making review takes up a lot of time and the research paper is 4 page long and he asks for 12-14 articles. I busted my butt for his class and made a B for GOVT 2301 and GOVT 2302, I did not read the chapters though, used reviews.

Professor Sutter is a brilliant man who is incredibly knowledgeable regarding political events both here and abroad. Great teachers do not hand out easy marks, great teachers make you earn them. Professor Sutter is very clear the regarding the amount of reading and research involved right from the get go. I highly recommend him!!!

I took this class as my first dual credit for Highschool. It is SUPER HARD if you're aiming for an A. Most of my class made a B, a few made an A and this is coming from a Kerr student. Reviews are not required but a MUST. This was a 5 week online course during the summer. READ ALOT. CTRL F ON THOSE REVIEWS. I made an 89.7...I cried tears of joy.

This is the most wonderful professor I have ever taken. I took the Govt. 2306 online in a mini semester, and I was able to get a very good grade even though I was working 12hours a day and taking two additional classes. Of course he gives somewhat a lot of information, but he can give you time to do your work. Indeed he is a great helper.

Very unorganized professor. Postponed every test without early notice for students and it was very frustrating to try and prepare for a test you don't know when it will take place. I would not recommend this professor. He provides a review sheet but it's not useful.

I took this class because of the good reviews. They were wrong. Unorganized and postpones tests the day of and study guides are provided but are extremely hard, time consuming, and put up late. There are four tests and a paper. Several students and I have emailed the professor and he hardly ever responds and gives no advice to study for his class.

Have taken Mr Sutter for two courses. Easy. You have 4 tests and a paper then he drops your lowest score. I never did the research paper. When things are delayed he always gives extra time.

His teachings are no so factual but he has great study guides for exams. You basically don't need to show up for classes , because as long as you have good grades on exams , you'll be fine. Make sure you do your exams especially if you have an online or hybrid class because those are the only grades you'll have. Don't use cell phones in class.
