His tests are out of context and pretty impossible to do well on. The rest of the grading can't make up for them really so if you don't do well on the first, DROP the class NOW. You will not improve. It's just that his methadology is somewhat misleading to some people's expectations of the material and needs to be revised. Otherwise he is great

His tests are ridiculous! They are all multiple choice but every provided answer can be justified! He uses a large vocab in class and encourages class discussions, which can be interesting. 3 tests, 1 paper, and a final. No need in taking notes.. they are useless. STUDY THE BOOK!

Reading the textbook is absolutely imperative in this class. THE TESTS ARE NOT HARD unless you fail to open the textbook.

Focus is really on the book so class attendance is not absolutely necessary to do well. Recommend this class!

If you're good at government or are somewhat interested, you'll probably do fine. If you're not, you will struggle! Thankfully, he does have extra credit, but it's 10 pages so if you're free during finals week and can squeeze it in, then good for you. Overall very nice and can be interesting sometimes, but his tests are pretty hard. Not an easy A

Professor Jones is a good insight (if you're a first year) to see how college professors are. He is really funny and makes class enjoyable. You are only graded on attendance (so attend), tests, and discussion posts; but tests are a little difficul do to weird wording. Just study & do the work, and you'll pass. Just be responsible about your work.

This is a lecture class, but not bad at all. He grades discussion posts (your opinion), attendance, and tests (open notes) based on the power points and what he says in class . Key to passing is going to class and actually listening and taking notes on what he's says. He really tries to make class enjoyable/ helps you out, so definitely take him!

Not the best but not the worst. His lectures can be engaging with his tendency to crack jokes, he also has a tendency to ramble about unrelated topics that don't have anything to do with the topic of the lecture.

He makes attendance a grade when you can learn almost all of the content for this course simply by reading the powerpoints.

One of the smartest people I think I've ever heard speak. Class was so easy, he cares about teaching and educating rather than proving you can memorize a subject.

the whole class is based on 4 tests, the final, and attendance. i loved coming to class, as he tied current events into a lot of the curriculum. i will say, he has a huge bias in his politics (dem), but the class is engaging nonetheless. the lectures don't fully prepare you for the tests, so it's on you to look at the study guides
