Easy A. If all you care about is getting an A, going to class is pointless. But, she has very interesting class discussions.

Super easy class. Even easier A

Wow I loved this class. Dr. McCalester is so funny and I looked forward to coming to class everyday. The lectures are interesting and it's not really hard to pass if you come to class or at the very least read the textbook. She is very understanding and will work with you if you are having any trouble.

I absolutely love Ms. McCalester!! I learned a lot from her! I had her for Introduction to Political Science. It is best for you to read whatever she assigns. But, she is more than detailed when it comes to explaining a topic or situation that someone might find to be confusing. I recommend for students to take her class.

If you dont take Dr. Mac you have played yourself. This is the best professor youre going to get. The class is not at all hard tests be online, unlimited extra credit, class lectures be about social issues going on in the world, you really leave there everyday with a broader understanding of the world

De. Mac is not only one of the most beneficial professors I have had, but also an overall mentor. She truly cares about any student that reaches out to her. PARTICIPATION IS KEY. Speak up and show up (most of the time) and she will help you in any way possible. An informative class that won't overload you.

One of the best professors I've had. Class should be an easy A.

Dr. Mac is one of the best professor at Howard. If you see her for a class, take it. She is like our mom on campus. She is going to make you work for your grade, but it makes you better in the end. Her lectures are amazing! She breaks it down for us to understand. All of our assignments were papers,but she has unlimited extra credit.

Unlimited extra credit. All exams & quizzes on Blackboard. Attendance isn't mandatory, but her lectures are interesting. However, she can have an attitude if you run into a problem throughout the semester. Make sure you come to her with your receipts because she will try to question you. Makes a lot of jokes- dry humor not too funny. Easy A class.

Dr. Mac is a great professor. All the assignments we have, she gives a clear grading criteria. There aren't many assignments but there are about three big ones. This class by all means isn't hard but you have to work for your grade. If Dr. Mac sees that you're just throwing stuff together and not actually trying, she will notice.

Live Blackboard Collaborate calls, nothing pre-recorded. Doesn't post notes; so make sure you take notes during lecture. Honestly rely on groupme for notes missed. Attendance is apart of your grade. Podcast discussion due every Sunday. Only a few quizzes. Lectures aren't boring & neither are the podcasts.

Let me start by saying, I LOVE Dr. Mac. She is funny, relatable, and passionate about her students. She lectures and answers questions very well. You do need a book, but she gave it to us. She gives one short and easy hw assignment every week, but as long as you do it, it'll be a 10/10. Tests aren't too bad, just make sure you know the terms.

Dr Mac is a great professor. She taught us many skills outside of Poli Sci. She allowed us to have Friday's off and her lectures were fun. She's like the auntie you can drink around. The course wasn't difficult. Make a group chat and study with your class.

Dr. Mac is great! She breaks everything down so that it's easily understandable. She can get distracted pretty easily though, but she makes up for it because you're still learning a lot. The only hw is listening to podcasts and reading. There's only like 4 quizzes a semester. If you read and go to her lectures then you'll do fine. 10/10

Dr. Mac's lectures are extremely informative, and after taking her class, you will become a new person. The readings aren't that long, but if you don't go to class, you won't get an in-depth analysis of what you read. Overall a great person and the best teacher I've had so far. She really wants you to succeed.

Dr. Mac is such a fun and amazing professor!! She provided me with a lot of knowledge on the subject, as well as many other things that I will use outside of class. She can go off topic sometimes, but her lectures are awesome. Shes also so funny. The course is just podcasts due every week and 4 quizzes, plus the midterm and final. Easy A!

I've never been quite interested in political science, but since taking this class my entire perspective has changed. She assigns weekly podcasts to listen to and they are extremely interesting and are the reason why I'm now into listening to podcasts. She is very passionate about the subject and it shows. A wonderful professor and enjoyable class.

She is super personal and builds a relationship with her students

Honestly, this is a solid class. Not too many assignments and she's an easy grader. Attendance is mandatory and she is quick to mark off points if you don't come to class so you really need to show up. Weekly podcast assignments which are really informative and quizzes and tests are normal, however not hard at all.

She is a great professor who is very organized and straight forward. She knows exactly what she wants when she wants it. As long as you can follow directions, do your work, and come to class you will get an easy A.

Dr. Mac's class is an easy A if you do the work and you follow instructions. Unfortunately, she does tend to go off-topic a lot in her classes and is forgetful, and can have an attitude.

I have taken Afro American and PolSci and both of her classes were easy. All you have to do is go to class, listen to podcasts and write responses to them, and do the quizzes and you will get a 100 out of the class. I recommend! It is true that she does go on rants in her lectures but I think they are interesting and informative.

I personally liked Professor McCalester because she made class discussions fun and interesting. She does have the knack for going off topic and rambling, but overall I enjoyed the class. The work and content is not difficult at all. Just complete your podcast discussion posts and do well on the quizzes and exams.

I really enjoyed her POLS class, she is a good professor, just pay attention, take notes and submit your work on time, and you will be fine. I definitely recommend and will definitely take her class again.

quiz every week. Just log into class and put her on mute and you'll be fine. She's actually insightful and funny sometimes tho.

Podcast posts every week are due on Fridays, attendance is mandatory, the textbook is provided, and everything is on the syllabus along with a course schedule. Definitely an easy grade if you pay attention to the lecture slides and read a good portion of the textbook.

honestly i didnt hate her. yes she rambles but hoesntly sometimes its useful, if not- id just tune her out bc shes online. i personally didnt think she was too condscending like others- a flip perspective is the fact ive seen some people ask her the dumbest questions in class. really easy A . attendance required. interesting resources & podcast.

really easy just had podcast reviews due every friday. gives you all the slides so don't have to buy the book. attendance is mandatory. she can go off on tangents but overall really nice and explains things when asked.

Prof. McCalester is very talkative and she rambles in class alot but she's extremely knowledgeable. She is strict about her deadline so emailing her after WILL NOT work for you. Her class is simple there's discussion board and a midterm and a final that's really it so as long as you do the work there isn't no reason to not have an A.

Dr. Mac was so much fun to have as a professor! Her rants her hilarious and informational. As long as you do the quizzes on time (all multiple choice) and complete the podcast assignments, you'll easily pass this class. Emailing her is a bit difficult though so try avoiding situations where that might be necessary.

Dr. Mac has a very clear grading criteria so you must stay on top of everything. Procrastination and forgetfulness aren't forgiven in her section. She is informed, but class is heavy on lectures, slideshows, and the online textbook. Very minimal participation from students.

I took both this class and her pol-001 class, I enjoyed her, she was strict but nice and always gave us better advice than the advisors themselves. She told us about how to take summer classes to gain credit and more. it's an easy class as long as you pay attention in class even though sometimes she does rant you will do good.

I actually really enjoyed taking this course but beware: she does yap a lot. She constantly goes on tangents about nothing but I honestly don't care. The work itself is easy and tests can generally be found online (but you really don't need them if you study the ppts). Be prepared to spend 25 mins each class discussing the attendance policy.

Professor McCalester is one of the best Professors at Howard University. She is very understanding and shares lots of useful information and advice! her classes are very straight forward and the assignments are a reasonable amount. Would definitely recommend taking her class!

Extremely great professor, she was very kind and respected. She doesn't do late handing in of assignments or reopening quizzes so keep accountability. Assignments due every Friday and she talks about very informative topics which is nice. Class is online but attendance is mandatory(grade every meeting). Would recommend

She's really cool and take this class for an easy A. She's very passionate in teaching this subject. Class is very flexible and lectures are enjoyable. Everything is online. 1-2 Assignments due every week.
