Lectures a lot, but everything he says counts. You get to state your opinion.
One of the best teachers ever had! Got me interested in Political Science as a career. Definately try to get him as your teacher!
Very good looking teacher, and he is very helpful. Everything he says matters and he is very funny and cute.
One of the most interesting and fun classes I've taken in along time. A little tough at time, but totally worth it. Honestly wants you to learn the material and it is all so important to being an American. I would recommend him to anyone!
mr. adams is a good teacher. his lectures are very organized, specific, and interesting at the same time. i highly recommend him, you'll learn a lot from his class.

Great Teacher- Challenges students to do their best, very engaging. Only class I had where no one dropped even by the end of the semester
Great instructor. Doesn't push any liberal agenda like that annoying Anne Riley. I recommend this class to anyone. Be sure to ask him about his 15 minutes of fame!
Very smart professor, easy to understand, and very straight forward.
VERY nice guy. He keeps you on your toes, by calling on people to make sure they're following along. When I signed up for this course I thought it would be boring, but I was wrong. He made it interesting. I recomend this class to anyone, even if it's not a requirement for you.
Mr. Adams is one of four quality instructors I've taken classes with in my 3 years at hartnell. He doesn't play teacher games and he's not one of those **** teachers whos out to fail people(S. He's very direct about what is expected of you and emphasises whats needed to pass the class.
Grrreeaaattt Insrtuctor, a must take. He's really passionate about what he's teaching... you'll definitley learn alot, believe me it's soooo easy to pay attention!
Awesome personality, good looks, interesting material; this class is a must!!!! I almost wish I would have flunked just so I could sit through more of his lectures!
he gives alot of HINTS!!! and listen to those and you should be A-O-K!!!
This is what a teacher is supposed to be like. enthused about the material and genuinely caring about teaching it, not their views. Mr. Adams sets up the lectures in a clear and consice manner and gives it the human touch so it's entertaining and congruent to current events so it's not just robotic droning. im sad to hear he only teaches poli sci 1
He's a wonderful professor both at Cabrillo and Hartnell. He does a great job teaching the material. Very handsome!!!

Great teacher! Good looking, funny, interesting, well worth the time spent in class. He makes learning fun and easy.
Best poly sci teacher ever! I love Larry, so funny and entertaining. He likes and used to play lacrosse, he was in Heartbreak Ridge, and will get you a pair of Army shorts if you ask for it. Not really, but it would be funny if he did.

Great teacher! if you're not interested in politcs at all and have no idea whats going on in our government, he will make you interested and you'll know what's happening with the government.
Mr. Adams was one of the best teachers i ever had. He took the time to answer my questions and his lectures are very thorough and easy to understand......he is an awesome teacher....
One of the best teacher's I've ever had at Hartnell. If I couldn't understand something, he explained it. His class helped me find out which political party I truly belong to without any of the biasness that comes through from some teachers. I recommend him to anyone.
By far THE BEST TEACHER IN HARTNELL. Really intelligent, and very interesting to talk to
he is the best prof. ever...the way he taught made me actually enjoy pol. sci.
He was AWESOME and that's the brutal truth!! I liked how he kept me up to date with world events...something I am not good at. He made it interesting. "Take this down." He believes in free speach as long as you respect each other. We could talk about a lot of stuff. He was right about the war in Iraq.
one of the best teachers i every had!
Larry Adams is one of the fairest professors I have ever had. He wants every student to be able to express their own views without fear of offending anyone. He does not being his own opinions in to the class, unless asked about his opinion by a student. He wants to help students to understand the Constitution of the United States. He is great!
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME that's all there is to it. I learned SO MUCH from Mr. Adams if he taught anything else besides political science I would take it in a second. and he's super friendly also..I took his course 3 semesters ago and he still stops to talk to me when I run into him on campus.
He was a great teacher! Adams has an aura about him that keeps you intrested in the subject. He somehow makes a class like "political institutions" entertaining. Overall i'd consider him very fair as a teacher, and great as a person.
Great teacher and easy class.
Fun Guy, Shows videos, great lectures. Tests are Challenging, but not impossible. TAKE HIS CLASS!
Awesome Teacher. Very Helpful and tells you what to expect from you. Note taking is easy because he writes them on the board. It's not a hard class, everything you need to know is in the notes. Highly Recommended!
Great Teacher
Very good teacher. One of the best. I've taken two classes with him and going into the third one. He is very interesting, helpful, and caring about your learning. I totally recomend his classes. And by the way VERY CUTE!!!!
great teacher...lots of enthusiam for topic....enjoys his job......
Great teacher, made class fun!
have to attend class all the time, gives you all the info for the tests. so if you **** up, thats on you...easy!!
Most amazing teacher ever.
AWESOME TEACHER!!! Take him if you can.
I had him for PoliSci1 during the Fall08 semester and every time I see him on campus, he goes out of his way to say hi. He was thorough and made the subject matter interesting and kept it engaging. I'm trying to fit his PoliSci3 class into my upcoming semester schedule, even though it's not required, because he's such a wonderful instructor.
Hes GREAT
Mr. Adams is extraordinary.
Probably Hartnell's best instructor. Nuff said
Great Professor! Doesn't dumb it down like some professors do at Hartnell High.
Best Teacher Yet!
very helpful and gives good examples that relate to the topics and makes class fun.
By far the best teacher I've had in Hartnell. He actually makes the class fun and makes learning easy. You can tell he loves his job.
Best Teacher at Hartnell. Makes the class fun and interesting yet still has a disciplined class. Shows interest in wanting all students to succeed and pass his tests.
One of the BEST PROFESSORS at Hartnell, he is funny, good looking and he loves his job. He explains the subject very well, and he has E.C. quizes so PAY ATTENTION! Great guy and ex-navy seal. Ask for his movie at the end of the semester that he is in. Seriously! P.S. (Prior Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance) LEARN THIS! E.C. Your welcome!
Mr. Adams is a great teacher. Very helpful and wants his students to do well. He's an ex-marine and is very on top of his every day political topics. Pay attention to lectures, it makes the tests a breeze.
I had him last semester. He is a very helpful and wonderful professor. Although he tough and strict but very nice.
Mr. Adams was an amazing teacher. I had him for POL 2 which dealt with political institutions all over the world. I didnt know anything on the subject but WOW does he make it easy to learn. He also let us use our books for the quizzes and final so the class was pretty easy. Hes an interesting guy and makes a priority to talk to all of his students
I love him he's one of best teachers on campus
Straight forward material is taught! although it is very overwhelming amount of notes crammed into the Summer, You can do it! you will pass and do great. You can NOT possibly fail because every Answer is Overall NOTES. He is very Clear! He is Funny! He makes learning Fun! You will feel Accomplished once you finish his Class =) No regrets!
Mr. Adams is an amazingteacher; probably one of the best I had while at Hartnell. He will tell you what will be on the test and he will offer tons of extra credit. Only one paper to write. He is funny and will make class very enjoyable.
Mr.Adams is hands down the best social science instructor at Hartnell. You WILL LEARN whether you like poli sci or not! The man is great at what he does and makes the material understandable no matter what your level of education is. If you can, TAKE HIM!!!
clear teacher. knows what he is talking about. everything he talks about is very important. study hard and expect a good grade.
One of the best history/political science instructors I've ever had. Go to class and read the textbook, almost everything is open book, but that doesn't mean you don't have to go to class. You'll learn a lot more if you attend.
This is an incredibly well organized instructor who absolutely knows what he's doing. I have no idea what he is doing at a place like Hartnell, because the quality of his lectures is way above the level of any community college class I've seen. This class is easy if you are a remotely competent test taker, because he is crystal clear all the time.
Mr.Adams,is one of the very best instructors I have come across at Hartnell.He explains the material thoroughly and gives you all the information you need to pass the class all you have to do is do it.He relates the material to real life & made Political Science interesting,you actually walk away from that class with more knowledge in Poli.S & life
I was not a big fan of pol-1 before i took this calss. He makes it really interesting i really liked his class he is well organized and knows his material. He is the best professor i have ever had. Everything on his test are on the notes he gives u if u study and pay attention u will defiantly pass with an A
I was not a really big fan of Pol 1. Mr Adams is a very great teacher. He does his job just like he has to, makes things really clear and good to understand. His tests are really easy if you actually pay attention . I really recommend everyone to take Pol 1 with him.
Really great teacher! He seriously taught me a lot of politics and it actually has stayed with me! I recommend you to take his class! You really learn a lot! Must be to his class on time, and if you take notes you will do good in class. Study!
Go to class!! If you miss a day of lecture notes you miss a huge chunk of the test. Everything is on his quizss he goes over everything. You read a lot. But very interesting.
Very nice teacher.
Very good Teacher, I learned a lot.
His class is one that it is mandatory to show up and not be late too. If you miss class you will miss a lot of information for tests. His tests are easy IF you study if you don't you will struggle, he will go over everything you need to know prior to taking the test which helps a lot! He knows his stuff and you will learn a lot in his class.
Great teacher! Taking notes is crucial in his class and attendance is mandatory. Show up to class, take good notes and study for his tests and quizzes and you'll pass the class.
Hes a great teacher, tells you everything you need to know. He also makes it very interesting learning about politics.
Great man
Great teacher! Recommend taking him for Political Science
Best teacher I've ever had in Hartnell! If I could take this class again, I would, even though I already passed! He puts the effort to really make you engaged in his lectures whether you're interested in the topic or not, and you'll leave the class happy you took it with him. You will definitely learn in his class.
By far the best instructor at Hartnell College. He engages with students, and his lectures are well organized and you learn a lot. You have to memorize a lot, but other than that his class is great. If I could I would retake this course. I obtained an A.
I began that class without a single interest in Political Science, and now I go in everyday excited to see what he will teach us. You have to memorize a lot but it will do you good in the long run. The only class I've been so confident about passing, who would have figured? I would take his class again.
Without a doubt the best, most brilliant teacher I have ever had. I didn't know what to expect going in to this class, now I can't wait for his classes to begin and they are over much too quickly for me. He is very organized, prepared and linear in his teaching style. He doesn't have a lot of time to waste shooting the bull during class though.
He' a very serious teacher and actually cares about his students. His lectures can be fast paced but he highly encourages students to ask questions. Literally everything he teaches is on his tests. When it comes to tests, he helps you prepare the class before and its extremely helpful! He does offer extra credit which really helps but its limited.
This professor really CARES about his students. His lectures are everything you need to know about the systems of government, and the political behavior in our present. I learned a lot thanks to this professor. Make sure to be present every class, because you will miss a lot of information. Don't forget to always be on time. That is a most!
Honestly, I don't like this class. He is very easy and gives a lot of extra credit but I just don't like political science. His midterms can be challenging if you don't study because you have to write an essay plus multiple questions. If this class was not a requirement I would never take it. The only plus is that he does not give hw.
By far the best class I've taken, you learn so much. He really does care for one and their future. Great teacher!!!
At first, I didn't want to take the class because I didn't like political science, but now I love political science. He is the best professor I ever took at Hartnell. I highly recommend his class because he is just not a great professor he is a great person.
Everyone can get A in POL-1 as long as they read what he tells them to read or memorize. He always offers extra credit during lecture. He is very serious, but he really wants his students to learn and get good grade. Just don't come to class late, especially on the first day of class.
Really solid option. Really strict and does care of attendance, be prepare to work in groups inside class only. Make sure you participate and take advantage of all the extra credit that is provided. Geat person to talk and get solid advice. Overall, great professor with much experience, great skills in teaching, and passionate on political science
His lectures are amazing!! He is by far my favorite professor! Totally recommended.
He speaks so fast that I got lost all the time
Lecture heavy, speaks fast but repeats and clarifies if you need him to (make sure you take highlighters + different colored pens for notes). Participation is expected. Textbooks are cheap and used for book quizzes. Let's you know exactly what will be on midterms + tips on how Qs will be laid out, and what is expected of essays. Amazing professor!
This is the type of class you don't want to be late to. You walk in late you will get crap from it besides you grown why are you late? Genuine kind heart and he shows it . He's an amazing teacher one of Hartnell's best. He inspires his students to have a moral compass about things happening in the world. Overall this the teacher you WANT!
I've never had a professor that's this confident in his words. His lectures are thorough and sometimes difficult, but he will review everything in order to make sure you pass. The beginning of the class is very difficult in order to weed out those who don't truly care, and by the end, you will get out of this class exactly what you put into it.
I took two of Mr. Adams classes and in both of them, he excellently taught the material for the course. He puts on the board what he says in an easy-to-understand format and tells students the important material. He is strict, so it is best to be punctual and stay focused in class.
At first he intimidated me but he ended up being an amazing professor. His lectures are made to keep the students engaged but he is fast paced so at first you get a little lost in lectures but then you start getting the hang of it and you're able to keep up. In this class you get what you put in so make sure you show up to class
At first he intimidated me but he ended up being an amazing professor. His lectures are made to keep the students engaged but he is fast paced so at first you get a little lost in lectures but then you start getting the hang of it and you're able to keep up. Very professional professor would recommend
He is funny and wants you to pass the class. Just have to keep up with reading the textbook and review your notes . Its nothing big just prepare for his midterm essays that's something big. He is understanding if you have something going on.
Just pay attention, and be punctual (seriously, don't be late or else you won't get in). Hes a great professor who cares for his students education & their well being.
I took Larry Adams my first semester of college. He is very interesting and gives amazing lectures. He shares personal stories which makes you even more engaged in the topics he talks about because you know he has either experienced the situation or he has seen more than you have. He's an amazing human being. Made my first college experience great.
Mr. Adams is hands down the best professor at Hartnell College! I had the pleasure all of my political science classes with him. If you're a political science major, I highly recommend taking as many classes as possible with him. Even if you're not a political science major, be sure to at least take POL1 with him- you won't regret it.
Mr. Adams is one of the best teachers honestly. His class is really easy, he is easy to understand, and very funny. He caress about all his students, and wants all to pass. Make sure to attend class and be there on time. Attendance is really important, specially towards the end of the semester. Make sure to prepare for mid term essays tho.
He is definitely one of the best professors there is at Hartnell. He explains everything very well and keeps it entertaining. I would definitely recommend taking his class. He is GREAT!!!
Mr adams is one of the best teachers i've ever had. He made me enjoy politics more and is an amazing professor. Highly recommend and is great with student athletes. He's a awesome awesome teacher a
Adams is one of the best professors at Hartnell. He teaches in a way that makes the class very interesting, I never thought I would enjoy a Political Science class this much! Study for the midterms and don't miss class, he offers extra credit throughout the semester and it really helps your grade! P.S. (do NOT be late, he will not allow you in)
Gives great feedback and gives extra credit .
Adams is an awesome professor. Be in class everyday take notes study and you will be fine, hard part is memorizing essays for the midterms but he gives you what to study for the midterms if you fail his test is not his fault is yours because he gives you exactly what to study, also you must be on time to class because he will lock you out lol
Great teacher, gives a lot of extra credit. Hell teach you everything, I loved showing up to his class just to learn and pick his brains. Would recommend to anybody, take this class.
Adams is by far the best teacher at Hartnell. As it is Hartnell has very few professors that make a difference throughout your semesters or who genuinely teach their criteria well. Adams can be tough but makes you work for your grade. Quizzes are held within the text so make sure to read carefully! Memorization is a learning concept, pay attention!
He is so great, he treats you like an adult and you just have to be mature In his class and bee respectful, its an easy B and just be on his good side and you will be fine. He doesnt give us a ton of homework and the best part about him is that he leave the class so we can talk to our partners and get the answers from Our group members
Professor Adams is one of the best instructors here at Hartnell. You must show up to every class to pass . Totally recommend this course :)
I took Professor Adams class and to be honest, I was a little nervous at first because he seemed intimidating! He expects punctuality and respect; he doesnt put up with slackers or rudeness! He tries to help you as much as possible, knows his stuff, and makes the class enjoyable. Hes so cool! Show up, take good notes, and be respectful.
Best professor ever!
Definitely a great teacher and funny i would recommend him for POL-1
He teaches the content very clearly! He gives you exactly what to study for the test, and thats exactly what he will give you! Uses great examples that relate to the material hes teaching which allows you remember easily ! Just do the work and you will get an Awesome grade!!
Mr. Larry Adams is such a great teacher. He completely wants the best for his students and he takes his class seriously also as we as students should. He's great with class lectures get you motivated and excited to learn. yes there's quizzes and tests but they are easy if you study and stay on track with his class. He's down to earth and funny.
Best teacher if ever had, hands down. His lectures are super understandable and you're not blindsided when taking exams. I took a Political Ideologies class at Cal Poly:SLO which was completely inconsistent, but after taking the same class with Adams I was surprised by how much more I learned. He makes you want to learn and is extremely successful.
Hes just the best. You literally just have to show up and pay attention and do the work and youre good.
Best Professor I've ever had at Hartnell. When lectures he repeats important information to get it through your head. Can't miss class or you'll fall behind. He wants everybody to pass. Strict on phone use which is understanding, but also has a great sense of humor!
Best teacher Ive ever had at Hartnell. He looks intimidating but hes the exact opposite. Great but easy lectures, he really wants everyone to pass and offers lots of extra credit. In my opinion, its impossible to fail based on the extra credit if you study but show up and take good notes and you will pass! Highly recommended if you need Pol 1!
One of the best professors at hartnell as long as you study for the midterms you will do fine. He gives out a lot of extra credit so make sure to show up to receive the extra credit. Its very hard to fail his class with the amount of extra credit he gives out. Plus lectures are interesting!
Professor Adams is one of those very few professors who actually give a damn. This man is hands down a GEM in the college setting. He makes you interested in the subject matter and most important he teaches you and makes sure you learned something. It truly breaks my heart that I will not be able to have him as a professor during UNIVERSITY, 10/10!
Adams was definitely worth the hype!! One of the best teachers I've had in Community College. He gives great lectures and personal stories (which make class even more fun) and he explains everything thoroughly so anyone can understand. I wish he taught other classes besides this, I'd take him over and over again :)
Took Pol-1 because it was required but ended up majoring in political science because he was such an amazing professor. In order to pass you definitely have to go to class everyday but it is 100% worth it. You are never bored. His lectures are great and hes such an inspirational man. Take advantage of extra credit and you will do fine!!
The best Political Science Professor. I took all the poly-sci classes with him and got A's in all of them. Just do not be late for class!
I took him for every political science class. He is a professor that wants you to be well informed but most of all well prepared. His classes are not difficult at all they are very easy. As for quizzes/exams he tells you what would be on it but it's up to you to study which is easy. All in all, DO NOT BE LATE! Email him if you are or won't attend.
Mr. Adams is very straight forward and also caring too. DO NOT BE LATE! He is very heavy on being on time because he takes his class very serious. He did a great job transitioning from in-class to online due to COVID-19 and I feel I learned so much online than in class. Midterms & final were not awful and highly recommend taking his class!
Great teacher ! Very good at explaining , he seems intimidating but is super nice . Totally recommend
Mr. Adams was my favorite professor throughout Hartnell. He truly cared about your educational goals. The class was very important to attend, so don't skip out on lectures EVER. He follows his syllabus clearly, and will be more than willing to further explain any questions. Overall best class for POL majors.
Great guy, but DO NOT BE LATE, you will have the embarressment of a lifetime. Syllabus was straight forward, but as we transitioned online everything changed, all our old assignments were diregarded so it was as though we started on a new slate. I learned A LOT in his class, great politics teacher, but also very strict, so listen to his instruction
I took professor Adams at 8 am. I had to make sure to arrive to class on time because he does not allow late students. The syllabus had all the exact dates of tests or assignments due. Quizzes are easy because he gives you the page numbers to search for the answers. Midterms are easy if you study the study guide because it has the same questions.
An amazing instructor. Everything that has happened on the world stage in the last 10 years, he told us would happen. Like a political Nostradamus.
Very good professor his stories are supper funny! His lectures are very easy to follow! We read A book that was very interesting and enjoyed reading. Tests were also very easy I really enjoyed the class.
Over 100 positive reviews, you can't go wrong. Took POL-1 back in 2007 with him. Writing this review 13 years later I can say I retained much about the class and the US Constitution. You will know this stuff if you take and pass his class. DO NOT BE LATE. Communicate issues you have, he is super receptive to feedback. Participation goes a long way.
Took Adams during the Fall 2020 semester and he was amazing!!! His class was probably the only reason I got through the online semester! His lectures are really engaging and the exams are super easy. Show up, do the extra credit, go to his study sessions, and youll get an A without a doubt! Literally ended this semester with a 105% in his course!
Larry has so many good qualities and really makes an effort so that you can pass. lucky he is in Hartnell because honestly the dude would be perfect in a top university. He gives so much extra credit and the work is easy, so failing is almost impossible and all on you. Very eye opening class and makes you scared for his safety from the gov at times
Professor Adams is probably the best to exist at Hartnell. Such a fun and easy going class. Truly enjoyed taking it as my last semester I will always remember his lectures and advices he gave.
Mr. Adams is such a great professor. He is fair and easy. It is easy to forget to do AQs so best to stay on top of your game. I would recommend to participate live zoom as it very engaging. When doing book reviews, for the benefit of everyone, its best to participate or else he wont do it. Overall a really great professor I would take it again.
Professor Adams is by far one of the greatest professors at Hartnell. He gives a clear overview of all concepts of political ideologies. Class is overall an easy A as along as you do the work and study for the AQ's because they will determine your grade. Also, he gives a lot of extra credit and is always accessible to students. Best polisci class.
Hes one of the best professors Ive ever had here at Hartnell! Very helpful, and his class is an easy A if you show up and take notes of everything in class. Then the AQs and everything else will be easy.
Great professor should def take him
Professor Adams is a good professor. All his quizzes are based off his lectures and he gives extra credit at the end.
Took Professor Adams for POL-1 Spring 22 and before the semester started i was dreading to take this class. It turned out to be one of the best because of the professor. BEST professor so far! He makes sure the class understands the material before he moves on. Hes very smart and caring for his students. Prof. Adams for president! LOL
This Professor is literally THAT professor you'd always reccomend. He's clear in what he teaches, what he's going to provide, and what you as a student will do. Sometimes he speaks a bit too fast but for the online course, I did get the chance to go back if I missed something. I took his class for Spring 2022!
Super easy class I would definitely take it again
Awesome professor made the AQs super easy as long as you paid attention during the zoom lectures. Would Retake it again.
I was scared of taking political science but Professor Adams made it easy while being straightforward during his lectures. His AQ's were very easy if you paid attention during his lectures, all the information is there. He gives you extra credit opportunities and his grading is very clear.
Great class with a great instructor. Prof. Adams has a very engaging teaching style and is very caring about his students. The class is easy if you attend the lectures and you'll actually learn something. They aren't boring at all. I would highly recommend the class.
One of the best teachers to take, really cares for the class and his students. Goes in depth with his lectures and really wants you to understand the material. He gives you so many opportunities to excel in his class and will help you if you still don't understand the material after the class. Made my year.
His lectures are the most useless lectures you could attend not gonna lie, I did not attend the whole semester and still managed to pass with an A. People say to attend to receive answer but he is very uncleared when talking and gets upset if you show up late a bit.Easy A if you take him just because his grading structure is basic
One of the best professors I've had. If you need a polsci credit, take it with Adams. His class is very easy & he's a likable guy. Grades pretty much only on open note online quizzes. Most of the questions are using links he provides, or otherwise content from class, so you don't have to worry about it. Just show up, enjoy his class, and get an A
He tells you exactly what's on the AQs so unless you aren't paying attention, it's easy to pass. There's also no midterms or finals and all the AQs are open note. He also regularly provides extra credit opportunities. He teaches with a mostly unbiased political opinion and there is rarely any Socratic seminars.
He is a great professor. He assigned zoom lectures for you to watch and then a quiz each week.
One of the easiest classes I've ever taken. Taking this class online was just a weekly Zoom you had to watch with a quiz that was based on everything that was in that Zoom lecture. Extra credit is offered which is a tremendous help. Highly recommend if you need a course to fulfill your units.
Amazing professor. Only homework are AQs which are take home quizzes that shouldn't take long and are based on notes that he provides for you during class so it is hard to get a bad score if you follow along. He is very straightforward and very easy to understand. He will pause to answer any questions that may come up at any point in the lecture.
I enjoyed this class. Mr. Adams is straight forward about what is on his AQ tests (at home quizzes) which are open notes. Make sure to attend class because AQs are based on in class lectures. No other homework.Stay off of your phone during class and make sure you're on time-tardiness and distractions bug him. He offers occasional extra credit.
easiest class ever
He is AMAZING super straight forward and u actually learn in t
Professor Adams makes this class a breeze. With open-note quizzes, minimal homework, and regular extra credit, it's an easy A. unstuck study was a game-changer for preparing - highly recommend using it alongside the materials provided.
Very informative class, goes over tons of topics. AQs are fairly easy but if you don't pay attention you might miss the correct answer, attend zoom meetings if you can't he will send a link for you to watch. You need to watch in order to pass the weekly quizzes(AQs). Make sure to complete them on time bc he does not reopen assignments for anybody.
He is a very chill teacher on Zoom, he doesn't care if u show up or not, just watch the recordings and do the AQs (at home, open note tests) and ur chillin. Your grade consists of weekly AQs and two RAEs. Light easy class, he should be your first option.
The best teacher on campus!!!!!!. Easy class. gives extra credit opportunities, during class. no exams. only homework are quizzes(open notes) they are opened for a week. makes class fun. very straight forward on being on time. class is a participation kind the whole class responds when he asks a question. reviews quizzes & what he taught last class
Online lectures were optional to attend weekly but must be watched in order to get a good grade on the weekly tests. Very specific and clarifies what the answers are to the tests. He emphasizes greatly on the wording of the tests, which are directly stated in the online lectures. Great, informative lectures and will answer emails with questions.
Would not advise to take this class. Lectures heavy with quizzes. Very hard to reach for office hours
i love larry he is so awesome sauce. super funny his class is the only one i dont dread going to. just pay attention to his lectures you will be fine. #ilovelarry
Professor Adams is awesome! His lectures are educational while also weaving in personal anecdotes to keep the class entertained. Coursework isn't overly difficult; if you take notes from the lecture and do flash cards before, you'll be fine. Just make sure to pay attention while taking tests—he's serious about deadlines. Responds to email fast!
Professor Larry's class is lecture-heavy. I advise taking notes, since his exams are open-book and overall extremely easy. Don't listen to anyone telling you not to take his class; they probably didn't do their work. He is very funny, loves telling stories, and hands out extra credit! Easiest A+ I have ever received! #5stars
Professor Adams was such an amazing and hilarious POL-1 professor ever. He definitely made all his AQ's very clear and understandable for all his students to be successful in this course. He offered lots of extra credit opportunities that had to be completed in the classroom setting.
CLEAR GRADING CRITERIA ON ALL THE AQ'S(ASSIGNMENT QUIZZES) FUNNY AND HILARIOUS PROFESSOR WHO CARED ABOUT HIS STUDENT'S SUCCESS AMAZING CLASS LECTURES EVERY WEEK!!!
