Great class. A little boring if you are not interested in politics but very informative. Just study the test guide and study the last four essay questions because they are exactly what is on the test. As long as you study the essay questions and the midterm paper plus the extra credit, you can pass with a good grade.

Took this class on 5/27/2019 - 7/5/2019 super easy class. No textbook required for online. He gives you his notes to read which is amazing. To pass the test, just read. It's all about repetitions and getting a good understanding of Political Science.

There were 16 discussions, one for each week. He does not care about word count or responding to classmates, just the quality of your response. He has his lectures on 20 page PDFs. There are 3 tests: 2 midterms and a final. They are 50 questions, 25 MC and 25 T/F, timed for 1 hour. There is a term paper due at the end, try to get a head start.

Took his class online during the summer. There were weekly discussions (just your personal opinion), 3 exams, and 1 term paper (on a topic of your choice). The exams are based on the study guides posted on canvas. The textbook is not required, since all the information can be found in the lectures. I would highly recommend this taking class.

There are weekly discussion posts, 3 tests overall (each has 25 multiple choice, 25 t/f), and one 1500 word paper. He posts lecture notes on canvas with all the information you need for the tests and discussion posts, so there is no need to buy the book. The class is super straight-forward and can be really easy if you stay on top of due dates.

The sweetest professor. He grades quickly and responds really quickly too and explains everything really well. You will learn a lot! He knows his stuff and is very passionate about what he teaches--you'll see right away. You don't need either textbook--he provides notes and zoom lectures covering everything. I did not open the textbook once.

This class is a godsend. TAKE HIM. Prof literally gives no work and his paper is easy as well. He grades really quick and his tests are all on quizlet. This is an easy pass with a 100 if you log in once a week that's enough. You don't need the textbook cause he has notes and his lectures are optional. A real gem I wish I had him for all my classes.

Political science with Professor Baxter is easy and every week, its not a huge workload for anyone. Every week, you get a discussion question and thats it. Along with his class, you have 3 tests and 1 term paper. Overall, his class is easy to pass and I recommend everyone to take him for political science 1.

Professor Baxter knows his stuff & is very helpful via email if you have questions. Clear instructions & informative lectures. Book NOT needed. Participation required. 4 discussions, 3 exams of 50 questions each (study ref provided or you can use quizlet), 1 easy term paper. Easy A. Would definitely take any of his classes again. Good luck!

Best professor ever. Such an easy class, it is a breath of fresh air. It was the class i was least stressed about. He is very understanding as well. Easy to get ahold of. One weekly discussion post but super easy, is on what you learn that week. 3 exams but easy as well, and one term paper but you get to pick the topic. Take him, he is the best!
