Enthusiastic. Interactive class lectures/discussions.
awesome class, very easy
Great teacher. . one of the best classes i took at BCC
Very laid back, but still extremely intelligent and well-versed in his subject matter. Tests are not especially dificult, though he does expect students to keep up with studying and current events. Good sense of humor. Likes students who participate.
I have taken every course he teaches as BCC and I just love him. He really knows what he is teaching. He has a great sense of humor, however he does expect you to pay attention, study and know what is going on in class. I personally think he is adorable
Absolutely amazing prof - and so so hot.
I like the fact that this guy tells it like it is... he wont take sides with either the left of the right and has a way of expressing his opinions while respecting both sides. He created an atmosphere unlike any other class in the school. Best class in BC
You'll do well if you keep up with current events and if you comment in class. You do have to do reading and listen to lectures but he knows what he's talking about. He's sarcastic which makes for a fun class. He drops the lowest grade and his test aren't tricky. And he's hot too!
his easy and sarcastic..is also cute
He is an intresting teacher and makes class fun.
He is a great teacher. You should be up to date with current politics. He does not put you to sleep and looked forward to coming to his class. Lets you use notes on the last 2 tests and drops the lowest grade. He's grreat and hes hot in a professional way. I would deffinatly take him again.
Makes class interesting good sense of humor, tests every couple of weeks,drops lowest grade, use book website for more study material. Do not take for writing credit have to read a book and do book review format, directions very detailed.
Very sarcastic so class is always fun. He'll take a liking to you if you participate with SMART comments. His Gordon Rule is a 10 page book review, but otherwise class is extremely easy. Plus he's freaking hot; I'd take more of his classes and I'm not even a political science major.
This guy is awesome! I am into politics and this guy would definetly make rival to Bill O'reilly as far as being neutral. He knows his stuff, knows the issues, and gets the class involved. Highly recommend him!
very good teacher, interesting, kinda thinks his stuff dosen't stink, but other than that very clear on tests, but does expect you to participate
Excellent teacher and amazingly hot. I loved his class, I loved him. :)
He was great!
had him for flexibile learning, he provided study guides before each test and the test was on exactly that material. Definately recommended! hes not bad looking either!
class is very easy.
easy class he gives you the test study guides the first day of class
I really enjoyed his class. His is young and down to earth. His quizzes are pretty straight foward and easy. I highly recommend this professor.
No Comments
I took National Govt. with this professor. It was a great class which I always looked foward to attending. Professor Walsh is an excellent educator. I would definitly take any politcal science courses he is teaching.
haha he is so sarcastic that its funny. i have no interest at all in national government so i found it boring. but he is fair with his grading and he gives reviews.
this class is a review of material one learned in H.S, and Walsh lets you know it. he's got a good sense of humor. he encourages intelligent debate and discussion of current events, but due to lack of student participation, he usually just lectures on and on. anybody with a basic knldg of govt and history will do well. has test reviews and no hw
So easy. It's all stuff learned in High School. An easy A.
I really enjoyed his class! His lectures are clear and he gives a review packet w/the syllabus and the questions on the packet relate to the questions on the test. He makes American gov't exciting.
I took this class for a requirement for my major. His class is easy but he is boring. He lectures on and on and it gets boring but his class is pretty easy. He gives 6 tests and you can drop 1 but he is boring. I would recommend him because he is easy.
Awesome Prof. Thought it would be a tedious class, but his lectures are totally awesome. He is funny as hell. Class is somewhat easy. Total stud!
kind of looks like Andrew McCarthy ((blonde guy from Weekend At Bernies)).. cool prof., keep track of your own tests scores just incase.. he would curse once in a while to wake the class up, if there is no participation its dreadfully boring.. def recommended
I took his web ct enhanced class...he seemed like a good teacher but every class we met in person was an exam...the exams are hard but they aren't impossible...If you study all the material and do the practice quizzes he suggests you should do fine.
Very interesting material. I took this as a Flexible Learning class, so if you do better from a lecture type class where the teacher talks and you take notes - NOT THE CLASS FOR YOU!! Prof. Walsh was willing to go over material you read and answer any questions before each test though (graded on a curve). For the most part self lead though.
BORING!!! He's a funny guy and tries his best to make a boring subject interesting, pay attention and study the study guide and your guaranteed at least a B
Great Professor. Some Really Excellent lectures. He likes class participation. Classes are especially good when students get involved. Tests are easy if you do the study guides.
He's awesome! Tests are a little hard (go on the irtext.com website he recommends and you'll do just fine) but if you work at it, you'll do good. Great guy, really funny!! I'm not yet done with his class but overall it has been a great experience!
He is an awesome teacher. Took him before I transfered to UF. Made me declare my major as a polisci! Really motivating and great teacher. Very approachable and smart. Funny as hell and just a chill guy. I dont think his tests were to difficult, his study guides really help. Take him you wont be disappointed.
He really knows his information, and he gets his stuff for the test right from the book and from the notes he hands out. But you should go to class all the time because he does give you questions from the lecture. He was easy, I got an A. One thing I didnt like was he called people out in class to ask questions. Other than that I like the class.
He is a great teacher and is not easy but not hard. He helps students as much as he can
awesome teacher. has a sarcastic sense of humor, but very down to earth and funny. i took him for 2 diff. classes b/c he's great. alot of group discussion, one end of term paper, he gives u the study guides 1st day of class. treats you like an adult...not a kid. two thumbs up
u want 2 kno the definition of boring. that's prof. Walsh. yea, he curve the test that great, he let us use notes on quizzes& test that great, but to have someone boring has him ;not good. and he has this habit to walk bac and forth like he need to go to the potty. but he's a great prof. overall
His class was actually pretty easy. He does a complete review the day of the test and allows students to ask plenty of questions. He's also quite handsome.
Great professor. This class was online and met once a month. He gives the studens the opportunity to ask questions. He makes the class fun and interesting.
This teacher is awesome. I took the flex learning course and I had a "B". There is a lot of reading that you have to do for the class, but you will learn alot. He reviews the material before you take the test, which is helpful. I actually find myself watching CSPAN now. He's cute too.
Read the book, take your own notes, EASY A. His lectures don't really help, but as the semester went on the tests were easier (by the final exam, we used open notes).
I love this man! He's so helpful and hilarious that you can't help but love his class. Awesome teacher! I recommend him 110%!
Professor Walsh is truly a great teacher. His lectures are fantastic and he inspired me to become more interested in politics. I am glad I took his class prior to transferring to UF.
Class was fun and the discussions were a nice change from the norm.
Kinda looks like Ted Allen (Queer Eyes for the Straight Guy). He's pretty sarcastic so if you're not into that don't take him, other than that it's a really easy class.
He is AWESOME! I truly recommend him. He is funny, makes class interesting and a pretty nice sight for girls (or gay guys) to look at. Coulndt ask for more.
Good Teacher, knows his material, hes really sarcastic, which was awesome, helps you out if u need help, and he's nice to look at.....
Im really going to miss him! Always smiling and is very silly. He definitely made class interesting...i would always fall asleep in my 1st class, then would be very awake on my way to Professor Walsh's class. Be very excited if you have him and i wouuld def recommend him to someone who has not.
awesome prof. online class, met once a month, def need the book for it. easy class as long as you do the reading, he's very willing to help you out. if you lack motivation don't take him for the online section, great guy, sarcastic, funny, a little condescending sometimes but it goes right over everyone's head.
Very good professor! Highly recommend for international relations! Read the text carefully and the class is a breeze!
good professor whos really into the material
he is a very nice prof. i thought his class was hard, but i have no intrest in government. he is really into what he teaches. couple quizes which i thought they were also tuff but the final he made really easy. i got a C in the class and i failed every quize but did ok on the final.
He's an extremely biased and conservative professor, who has very little regard for accuracy in his prolonged lectures. I wouldn't take his class if you want a realistic depiction of the government, but you might enjoy it if you enjoy a conservative apologist. The class is also very easy!!!
Great Professor. Funny Funny Just won endowed teaching chair. he deserves it. Awesome lectures and online convenience. Highly recommended. Be sure to participate but he doesn't like complainers.
He's an O.K. teacher. I only have him once a week and he is very boring, in my opinion. It seems like all he talks about is the presidential election and when he gets to the powerpoint notes he takes FOREVER to finish one slide. And then he's always tapping his foot which becomes extremely annoying, but I don't think he realizes he's doing it.
He's wellspoken and highly educated, but the classes seem just like a forum for him to show off his vast knowledge of the subject and his expansive vocabulary; hes on the verge of narcissistic. I think the calss was a waste of both ours time, Id learned more studying the book at home, and he could have just talked to the mirror.
I agree with the person below me. He talks and rambles about nothing that hasd to do with the book. I have him 50% in class and 50% online; the classes are useless because everything is online including mid-term & final and he doesn't take attendance. Extremely BORING, I learn more from the book.
He's a great teacher who loves politics: his geeky enthusiasm for politics is highly contagious. His classroom is frequently filled with spirited debate, but he's an excellent moderator. He's a libertarian, but his teaching is relatively unbiased. I feel like I'm a more informed citizen after taking his class.
Took the online class. Super Easy Course. Complete assignments by due date, pass testes(answers are located in book), and participate in discussion (about 3) for extra credit.
If your major is political science than Professor Walsh is the one for you. Over all good class. Must read the textbook.
I have taken Walsh twice now and I have to say he makes political science fun. He is funny and makes the material easy to understand. I took the online blended course. It is a lot of work and reading but he gives extra credit and good reviews for the midterm and finals.
Mr. Walsh is a great professor. I took the blended class and all the assignments were very clear. Gives you 2 extra credit assignments and quizes. You have a midterm and final thats about 50 questions. Assignments and quizes were very easy, you just need to read the assigned chapters. I would recommend him to everyone. I would take him again.
He is a pretty good teacher. Definetly knows what he is talking about. Personally i have No interest watsoever in governemtn and history, but he does a good job explaining. I took his blended e-learning class where we had a class meet (not mandatory) once a month. You do have to read the material or else u wont pass quizzes online. otherwise easy A
Great Professor. Knows his students. Easy to understand.
Walsh is a very easy A but i'm a political science major and i cant honestly say i learned anything new in his class. his style of teaching is more for students who dont know anything about government and hate it. he can probably get you interested but definitly spoon feeds his students and treats us like idiots on the subjects. Fails to challenge
He was very helpful and gave extra ceredit. Loves and knows his stuff!
I took this class fully online and it was awesome. It is a lot of writing and you need the book. But you take the mid-term and final at home online. and all other chapter tests too. He is very helpful and the class is easy if you keep up. Great teacher though. TAke Him!!
Probably one of my favorite classes at this college to date. Gives practically NO homework, lets you drop your lowest test grade if necessary. If NOT necessary, you can get out of taking the final with good tests! Funny, amicable. Had issues with cellphones and talking in class during lectures.
It's an easy class, but you can't forget to do your online quizzes because he will not remind you. He's really nice and has great discussions in class. You don't really go over anything that you haven't already learned in high school or middle school. Attendance is not mandatory.
Prof. Walsh is awesome. I've taken him online and in class. He is the same in both. Great Prof. you really learn about International Relations and he makes it interesting and not boring like some Professors. You do 8 quizzes and 2 test and maybe a paper. But is one of the best classes to take! Definitely would take him again!
With a little effort, it is an Easy A. Took online during the summer, and I got an A. Offers a nice amount of extra credit as well.
Whoever wrote that this guy was easy LIEEEDDDD. Took him for honors, and did not like it. There are online quizzes. which can be easy if you have the book. A midterm and a final. Classes are beyond useless, dont know why I even went. Makes things harder than it has to be. We also had a little project. Didnt learn a thing in this class.
Prof. Walsh is awesome! He teaches so you learn concepts and how to apply them. If you expect to memorize and test this prof isn't for you. Attendance IS important. People who don't get the importance of his in-class lectures shouldn't take his class - that's where you gain understanding for the testing material. Getting an A.
One word - AWESOME!!! Although he is not strict on attendance he uses that to let you hang yourself. His lectures are vital to a good grade in his class. That's where you learn the concepts not just definitions. You have to knnow how to apply the material. It's one class I wish would have never ended. He's AWESOME!!!
Took him online for st/lcl gov't and got an A. Weekly 'assignments' (essay-like) and chapter quizzes and a midterm & final. Things are easy if you just keep up with the deadlines and skim over the chapters...cool teacher :)
I took him online during the summer. This was my second time taking him, he is a great teacher. There is a quiz and assignment for each chapter. There are discussions not related to chapter topics. A midterm and final. I received a C, because I was in the hospital during the midterm. Thankfully, I still passed the class.
His class is super boring, but its an easy class. There all 17 quizzes online, you must keep up to date with them, he will not remind you! You can get him to reset the date though, if you missed the deadline. Final is online 50 multiple choice, and essay is in class. Pretty easy class, just super boring.
Loved this Online Class & Professor. Option to work ahead on assignments, quiz's and postings was the best part! Midterm and Final were available several pecific dates, the rest could be completed ahead of syllabus. Lots of extra credit postings to blog about revelant current issues. Great Professor! I plan to his Federal Governement class also
Professor Walsh is a good professor. He encourages his students to really understand politics and what is going on in the world, rather than just pushing facts and dates to memorize. He did not take attendance, but it really does help to be there for lectures and discussions. Read the textbook too. Honors includes additional 5-page reaction paper.
Took his class online during the summer. Pssed with a B. Very interesting class, deals with today's topics. you can work ahead which is a plus. tons of extra credit and you definitely need the book. take him!
Alot of reading easy class politics made easy! Easy A took online take Online!!!
This professor is blatantly conservative. I found his way of teaching to be unprofessional and unethical. He speaks of the negatives of democrats and the positives of republicans. He asks you to be objective, but really just wants you to not question him. Being objective is not equal to ignorance. Highly disappointing; I was forced to drop class.
Excellent professor. Great class. Provokes student thought with controversial statements. Doesn't sugar coat things. Challenges clueless students. But he is very fair. I would take another class in a heartbeat.
i took him online 18hw assignments,18 quizes all confusing,1 midterm from all the capters very hard, 1 finals very hard from all the chapters. all his quizes and tests are very tricky the he asked his questions does not want you to get them right.i warn you do not take this class!!! run!!!!this is the truth!!!
Excellent teacher. Great discussions during class. His political views are right in the middle and he points out both major parties' pros and cons. He is non partisan, which is very refreshing in today's world. Take him and you will love every minute of your class time! Online quizzes after each chapter, midterm and final and 8 written honors essay
Very good professor. I would recommend him. Warning his tests are tricky. They are not if your vocabulary is up there. You must do all work and pay close attention to details to pass his exams. He is a fair teacher and does respond to your emails and calls. If you are generally a good student with good study habits, you will pass easily.
This class was not easy but was not hard either. Everything is open for you in the beginning so you can work ahead.Answers emails in timely fashion and helps out with any issues that may come up. Recommend him.
Professor Walsh is great! Very helpful and it was a great class. Definitely choose him!
This was a very interesting class, i really learnt a lot. There are deadlines which are reasonable so as long as you submit you work on time all is well that ends well.
GREAT ONLINE CLASS! All assignments and tests are open from day one of the course and you can finish the course immediately if you'd like! Otherwise, assignments due every 2-3 days and its EASY!! EXTREMELY EASY course but interesting also! Great teacher :)
He is an awesome teacher. I have never taken an online course throughout my two years. He was super easy and offered extra credit! There is no way you can not get the A. I took him for Summer and he was my last class at Broward College! He replies to your your emails asap!
Awesome. I am double major psych/pols and Dr. W is the best prof I have had at BC. He is hilarious. He makes things interesting with awesome lecture and discussion approach. Very fair to both sides of every issue. He’s pretty moderate sometimes a little liberal.
5 Stars for the Professor who was always prompt with grading and all assignments and syllabus were straight forward. Did it on a 6 week mini semester, had one chapter every two days so there was a lot of work but still got an A.
Awesome, and very helpful teacher. His personal political views are not pushed at you. Very prompt grading. He gives bonus points. I must say it is easy to get an A if you are not lazy. There was a lot of work, his grading is very fair so as long as you get the work done you will be rewarded. Three essays and three quizzes per week whew!!!!
Agreed with the comment below. This professor is highly overrated on Rate My Professor. He is extremely disorganized, rude, and extrodinarily unclear in his teaching. When asked what the final will be on, he responded, "you know, whatever." I do not advise taking this professor. Waste of my time. Not easy.
Great Professor. I have taken him online and face to face. Online is very easy, maybe too easy. Great lectures and discussions. He can be controversial with comments. But gets you to think. Very funny. Extremly knowlegdeable. He Prepares you for transfer to universities.
Dr. Walsh is very funny and I enjoyed his class. I learned a lot about our government. Also , Dr. Walsh is extremely good looking!
Great class, it was extremely easy. Professor Walsh made the class fun and engaging. He has a fun/ crazy personality and I enjoyed the class a lot. He is a great professor
Professor Walsh is great and organized. If you study the material, class should be a breeze. Lot of work, but just do it and you will pass! Cool Professor!
Took this as an accelerated course in a 6-week summer session. An Assignment & Test due every Mon, Wed & Fri but you can work ahead. A lot work but manageable. Prof. Walsh had 40 points of extra credit work built into the class with a Midterm and Final. He provides study guides but you need to make sure you know ALL of the material in the book!
This Professor is very good. I learned a lot in the class. This was an expedited 6-week course and there are quite a bit of course work. However if you keep up and study for the test (this means reading the book and comprehending too), you will do fine. I recommend this professor.
Good teacher. Found the Mid term and Final exam to be a bit difficult. As long as you read the book the quizzes are word for word.
awesome teacher would learn a lot school wise and for life as well recommend you take him.
Super professor but you have to submit your work on time. I made that mistake and my grade suffered however; he was very willing to help and saved my grade.
Professor Walsh was my International Relations professor in and accelerated course-- he wasn't one to care about attendance, but I would never miss a class because everything he spoke of was extremely interesting. He makes things very clear and will want you to get involved in discussions, but it's very fun. Would 100% recommend him as a professor.
Pretty decent online class. Participation and assignment completion mandatory. If you study the material and do all the work. You'll be fine and pass.
I took his blended course for national government and I loved it! He gives great lectures. That's basically all we did in class and all the work was online. The online work was fairly easy and wasn't time consuming at all but the work and assignments still helped you learn and pass the online quizzes. I barely showed up and still passed his class.
His class is especially easy is you take it blended, because you can "use online resources" while taking all quizzes and the midterm and final. He gives great lectures and you can learn a lot, but you can honestly pass this class without doing much at all.
Professor Walsh is always willing to work with his students and extend dates if you speak with him after class. You basically just listen to him speak in class and take his quizzes, midterm and final online using your own "online resources". He's funny and what he speaks about is actually interesting. No tests, projects or papers. TAKE HIS CLASS!
Took international relations this semester and it was awesome! I'm a political science major so believe me when I tell you, Walsh definitely is beyond qualified, he mastered this topic. Show up to class, put the cell away and engage with what he's teaching. His style of talking is superb and makes great eye contact. Take him, He's legit :)
Take this class, you won't regret it! Weekly assignments and quizzes are very easy. Class has one mid-term and final. It is an easy A for sure! He also offers extra credit assignments to help boost your grade!
Great teacher Mr. Walsh explains everything needed to pass his class.
Best professor. Accepts late work and gives a lot of extra credit. 10/10 recommend.
I took Professor Walsh for a blended POS2041 class. He's a very good instructor. He's straight and to-the-point about criteria, but he doesn't write much on the board so take notes. There were 4 quizzes, 4 written assignments, participation points, and a final. Overall a relatively informational class.
I took the session 4 online class POS2112. There was an assignment and quiz due every other day so it definitely takes your time. As far as the professor goes, he was just okay. He graded tough as far as "do it in your own words" even when it was almost impossible to do so. Also, he never puts in the grades until 2 or 3 wks after anything was due.
If you take this class, reading the textbook is a must which is online so you don't have to buy the book. The lectures aren't very helpful and neither is he around the test time. We had two test in person and a few 15 point assignments.
He is a tough grader, I don't think i received one 100% in the whole class other than quizzes, always a 95% with good feedback. His lectures can go on a lot but he generally is very informational. As long as you read the text, which is on D2L, you should pass with an easy A. Theres only a final and midterm test in the class, the rest is online.
The benefit of this class is that the lectures go by fast and they are not boring but his lectures aren't that informative, he goes off topic a lot. I don't think this is a easy A for most people. The professor "reviews" are just him talking about random current event he is not helpful when it comes to what material will be on the test.
I hate learning about politics and the government, but I loved this class because of how great he was. He gave great feedback and really made me excited to submit stuff. I would definitely take him again.
The online course work is understandable but the amount of work is just crazy. I have 3 other classes and one of the weeks there was 3 quizzes, 3 assignments, and a midterm due. I was seriously panicking. every other day a quiz and assignment was due so if you aren't taking a heavy load this would be a good class. Don't expect a 100 on assignments.
I took his class in spring and did not regret. It was more difficult than i expected, but the outcome of knowledge gained was way worth it. I would recommend his class to anyone, no doubt.
Dr. Walsh in an amazing professor! He is very underrated on this website. He wants you to succeed and motivates you to do your very best. As long as you read the textbook and do the work, you'll be great. The extra credit is also helpful. I highly recommend him to everyone, but especially to students who are interested in politics and government.
I took Dr. Walsh for inr2002 and pos2041 and he is an outstanding Professor. Thanks to him I realized my major should be Political Science. His lectures are amazing and the knowledge you gain in this class is truly great. He is by far the best Professor I've had and passed both classes with an A. If you read and write notes it's an easy A.
Govt/politics never sounded appealing to me, but Prof Walshs lectures make it sound very interesting. He posts EVERYTHING you need for this class from A-Z in D2L. This class was so easy that lowest grade I got was an 85. Also, his online quizzes are untimed! Easy A/B. Wish I could take him again for INR2002, but it doesnt work with my schedule.
I took his class online and loved it! It's simple if you keep up with the work and watch the due dates.
Took him Session 2 for POS 2041/ currently taking him for INR 2002/ have enjoyed every minute of it. Lectures are extremely interesting/very eye-opening. Both classes are 8 week blended so there's alot of reading involved, but thats normal for a college class. I'm a political science major transferring to FAU and hoping I can take him again there.
This class is an easy A. His lectures are phenomenal. Its the average amount of reading for an 8-week class. Tests are based on videos, readings and his lectures. He goes above and beyond for his students. TAKE HIM!!!!!!!
I took his class online and it was incredibly easy. I googled every quiz and test and never got below a 90 on any of them without ever even getting the textbook or opening the online content. Decently involved professor, but I didn't learn much.
Very entertaining class! Prof. Walsh is very knowledgable in his teachings, and his classes are very easy! The only way you can fail his class is if you wanted to.
I knew nothing about the American government and I left that class with so much knowledge. H e is very intelligent and finds the most amusing way of delivering information. H e incorporated videos and quizzes that tested what we read on. He provided us with what exactly needs to be studied. Take his class! You wont regret it!
Great professor. Extremely smart, eloquent. You dont have to buy a book, he provides the material online. 3 online quizzes, in class mid term, 2 writing assignments, online final. Class is fairly easy if you study. It is not very easy to engage in a discussion with him. He likes to dominate the conversation and often times will cut short.
He's Awesome. He was my first professor and first class i took at Broward college(Central Campus) and i was expecting lots of work and stressful situations. if you have time you can do all his work in just two weeks because they're online and i took him for spring session 4 so it was less weeks. you may come in for lectures if u need more explanati
This class is not too difficult. If you are looking for discussion with the instructor and the class you wouldn't find it here. He talks for 99% of the time. which is fine. most of it was interesting and Walsh is a very fair grader. lots of reading. upload videos that help. put in the work and you will get an A. he is knowledgeable and opinionated
Great Professor, I used to not appreciate politics but after this class I learned to enjoy debating with the other students on political subjects. He gives great lectures and the class is easy, show up and do the online assignments.
Prof Walsh made government and history interesting even for the students who admitted to not like or know about these subjects. Show up enjoy the lectures and do the online assignments and its an easy A... Plus you'll learn a lot from this guy.
non-proctored midterms and final. 8 assignment + 1 bonus. 16 quizzes + 2 bonus. all 5 discussions are bonus. Easy A.
Great online class. I'm a dual enrollment student and I Learned a lot, enjoyed the discussions and he used YouTube which really catches my attention. Stick to the syllabus, participate in discussions, do the work and you will do great. Communicates easily and is encouraging. Take the class!!
Great online class. I'm a dual enrollment student and I Learned a lot, enjoyed the discussions and he used YouTube which really catches my attention.

Awesome professor and great class! Highly recommend - especially if you're interested in government and politics. The reading material was interesting. Learned a lot!
Dr. Walsh, class was a class if you do the work you will be fine. as long you read his power points you will do fine in the test and assignment. I will take him if I have too again.
Dr. Walsh is very knowledgeable in the field of Poly Sci. I enjoyed his lectures. He's there if you need him. Grades on 3 test, 3 Reading Assignments, and 1 Essay. Test were semi easy, you have to study the material in order to get a good grade, including the book. He was a little unorganized with Canvas but was his first online class using Canvas.
Kevin Walsh is a caring professor. I missed his exam by the time and contacted him via email and he reopened the exam and allowed me to take it. His assignments are pretty easy and his quizzes are based on the book he provides along with his power points. if you take him online he opens everything the day the class starts.
I was nervous to take his class, but it was all worth it!!!!!! best teacher i've ever had. He is very understanding and will do whatever it takes for you to pass. Good lectures, they are long but are worth it. Good reviews before midterm and final (which are online.) Quizzes are easy (also online.) HIGHLY recommend taking him.
He is a good professor, prepare yourself to hear long lectures, but its worth it because it helps when writing the papers and the quizzes. He sometimes asks questions at random, but its nothing to be scared about. You get an extra credit opportunity at the end. the quizzes are online, and the papers are sent through a plagiarism checker.
Despite taking this class with a bunch of annoying kids that just graduated high school the class was super easy. The professor gives good feedback on your online discussions. He provides all the reading material you need to get a 100% on your online quizzes and they take about 10 minutes. Definitely take his class but good luck with the kids.
Strongly recommended professor. If you take any professor Walsh classes, you will never disappointed.
I took National Government online with Dr. Walsh, and it was a relatively easy class with a regular amount of work that is not too overwhelming. The assignments are easy and straightforward, and he provides videos as a guide. In order to be successful on tests, you HAVE to read the documents he provides The answers are all there. Go get your A!
One of the best professors I've ever had at BC. The class I took him in was 2hr30m, but sometimes he lets you out early. Prepare yourself for his long lectures. He gives you everything you need to succeed in the course. Quizzes, midterm, and final are all online and are all multiple choice. His online written assignments are only 3-5 questions.
I've taken Professor Walsh for two classes, and I've enjoyed both. His classes are discussion-based and he explains things very well. Tests are sometimes a bit difficult and based exactly on the readings and lectures, but he is willing to work with you so that you understand the material.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!! He is the most funniest, understanding, and caring professor. You will love his class and I recommend him 1000%. Best professor I had. His lectures are hilarious and his assignments are so easy.
Had to transition online during the pandemic and he was honestly a very easy professor. His syllabus is straight forward and so are his assignments & quizzes. Everything was online and non-proctored, VERY EASY A.
Phenomenal class, great teacher.
This class was surprisingly easy if you know what your doing. The quizzes are easy and the written assignments are interesting. The text book is required and i suggest you buy it because you can find your answers word for word. For a session 4 class it was a really manageable work load, make sure to work ahead and you'll be just fine.
If you need this class just for the credit take the online version. Nothing is proctored, so you can use google if you need help. 18 easy quizzes. 1 midterm+Final. 5 optional discussions for EC. About 8 short response assignments with a bonus 10 pt assignment. Lots of extra credit opp. I submitted some stuff late no pts lost. Dont buy the textbook
He wasnt really there for the class, but I mean its as easy as can be. The discussions are easy its just chat. Assigns are just time consuming because its a 1-2 paragraphs for each question , quizzes are easy, final was not Proctored. Also easy. I believe you can apply minimal effort and pass this class, I read nothing & passed with an A
Professor Walsh was one of the best professors I've had at Broward. If you are an independent student who can complete work on time on their own, you will love his class. Lectures are always interesting and he keeps us updated on current events regarding govt. Made everything so interesting I will definitely take his classes again!!
Prof. Walsh is the one of the best professor here at BC and hes super chill. If you guys are looking for an easy class, I strongly recommend to take him and you wont regret it! He also give his classes a lot of extra credits.
His seats fills up super quick, he opened all of the assignments the same day class started. There was one bonus quiz and the assignments were pretty clear to complete from youth videos to watch from. The midterm and final were tricky but the midterm was the worse. It is extremely easy to get an A in his class but no makeup work.
This class is very easy, but it is a lot of workload. He is an amazing professor, so far my favorite poli sci prof. Easy A, and very clear instructions on everything, and plus you're actually learning in his class,
Prof. Walsh is a really great teacher. He makes all of his classes truly enjoyable and basically hands out answers during his lectures, so pay attention! There were about four to five questions to answer in a paper once a week, but reading the chapters in the online book provided and watching the videos gets you an easy A. I would take it again!
Emails back quickly, only 2 exams NON PROCTORED. Only 5 discussions, 4 assignments, five quizzes, 1 bonus quiz for extra credit. Super easy class, do the work and youll get a quick and simple A. Can do all assignments ahead of time. So easy I finished half the class in 1 night! Phenomenal teacher that is here to help you for anything. TAKE HIM!
He was okay, I wouldn't take him again online. He grades tough for no reason.
He took a while to grade the work, but he's good.
Definitely my favorite professor I've had so far. He has such a mastery of the subject and it shows in his lectures. The readings can be a little dense but the course load isn't overwhelming so it balances out. He is very personable and I always felt engaged in the material. Cannot recommend highly enough, take his class!
I took him for POS2041 and the class was VERY easy. A couple of quizzes, assignments, and then a midterm and final. Didn't receive below an A on anything. He also provides extra credit through discussions and quizzes. Never felt stressed during this class, which helped me be excited to learn and participate. I recommend you take him!
You have to work for your grade, definitely not the easiest class, I did my best and I still got b+, I asked for extra credit and he said not.
Prof. Walsh is amazing. I wish I had to take another Government class because I would love to have him again. Unproctored quizzes, tests are ALL at home including the final and midterm. Again both unproctored. He is hilarious and is always there for you. Offered to let you make assignments up at the end of the semester as well. Take him!
I was supposed to take public speaking but the classes were so late so I had to replace it with POS2041 taught by professor Walsh and It was not a bad idea at all. If you read, take notes and watch the videos/PowerPoints you will be fine. Quizzes and final or not proctored but timed which can be very stressful but worth it. GUYS TAKE HIM!
Totally recommend taking this online class but especially session 2, super easy and fast class. The quizzes are easy and the midterm & final everything on it can be found in the readings he provides. The writing assignments weren't necessarily tough but were a little hard to get a 100% on (usually got a little above 90%).
Great class! Easy A. No proctored exams. Just complete assignments, quizzes, and exams.
This is one of the best professors I've had. You don't have to respond to people for his discussions. He gives feedback when needed. His exams & test aren't proctored which means you can always go back to the reading. If there is one thing you should do, it's taking his class!!
I loved Mr.Walsh, he's a funny and interesting professor to speak to about politics. If you take his 8-week long class be prepared to have a lecture-heavy class and possibly become bored. But he allowed me to enjoy discussing politics more now than before because he is unbiased and nonjudgmental. He loves hearing people's opinions and interaction
Professor Walsh is one of the most caring encountered. Consisted of 4 assignments of a few questions, 5 quizzes, 5 discussions, midterm, and final (unproc). Has 1 bonus quiz worth 10 points, discussions worth 2, and quizzes 20 a piece just to give an idea. Had a difficult event in my life where I missed the final. He was extremely kind to reopen.
Walsh was a great professor, course was blended so all quizzes, exams and assignments were required to do at home. He is thorough, concise and I highly recommend to anyone who needs this required course to do so with him!
I would take any of his classes!!! He is great.
Professor Walsh's POS2041 class is a great option. The workload is manageable, with no proctored exams and helpful course materials. I found tools like Unstuckstudy and the textbook chapters to be invaluable for preparing for quizzes and assignments. Overall, an engaging and rewarding class.
I took this professor for the last term in the semester fully online. Easy going class, nothing crazy in regards to the work. Definitely would take again.
He's a nice teacher, and I didn't have any issues with him. The class is easy as long as you complete your work before the deadline. I'd recommend taking him without hesitation.
The professor is fine but not ideal for gaining a solid understanding of IR. His rambling and lack of practical experience make discussions difficult, and the disorganized material adds to the challenge. While the workload is manageable and easy to pass, this class is best avoided if you want to truly understand IR.
I honestly loved Mr.Walsh. He's unbiased when talking about political topics and is really fun to talk to about anything political. He's also super nice, funny, and caring. He also tries to make the lectures as interactive and interesting as possible. I highly recommend taking him
Great guy, loves football and will always keep you invested in his class. Would take again.
Very kind and funny teacher. His class is very engaging, and you will learn a lot!
Easy A! Took him online and I would 10000% take him again. No proctored quizzes/exams. All you have to do is submit your assignments, discussions and quizzes on time and you'll surely achieve an A! 10/10!!!
Work is very manageable. All the units have the information you need to do well just read and actually watch the videos and you're sure to pass this class.
Enjoyable history class. Do the reading and you'll be good. Quizzes were true or false. Midterm and Final were online, multiple choice, and not proctored. Four straightforward assignments, he just asks for you to go into detail. Lectures were compelling and further cemented course material learned.
This class was very easy, I took the 8 week session 4 course. I am so glad I was able to snag it at the last minute. We had 4 assignments, about 8-10 quizzes which were all true and false. The final and midterm were not proctored as well. It is very very hard to fail this class.
Surprised at how simple this course was, very hard to fail, just read the content and watch the videos. The reviews are on point with what to expect.
Hes a really good professor, honestly the assignments and tests are pretty easy but you learn a lot from his lectures. I really recommend his them and him as a professor
his leactures make time pass so fast. the way he speaks on the topics he teaches is so well and amazing. He allows students to speak and is great. i did a session 2, 4 assignment papers, 2 exams unproctored, some other stuff too. I would still take his class even if i didnt need to, 11/10!
