Easy class 2 research papers due and 3 exams but for our class he offered extra credit for atttending school functions. The Class is a debate between students and he is the mediator.

Rosen is a really nice guy. He was always polite and complemented my work which I appreciated. However, I hated the class itself. He's really TOO nice, and the class constantly runs him over and takes charge. Not always clear on what's going to be on the tests. Just lacks organization and control of the classroom.

I think Mr. Rosen is a smart man who knows exactly what he's doing. The students who wrote mean things are prob the lazy students who think they should get an A w/o actually doing anything. College is about doing work and learning. Mr. Rosen lets u bring ur own notes for test so if u pay attention and make notes ull do fine! TAKE HIM!

Mr. Rosen is a great teacher. I was a straight A student while attending CFCC and found his class to be challenging, fun and engaging. If you a typical diatribe, that seem to thrive in our public/private school systems, you may want to think about taking a different teacher. Knowing the information and critical thinking is a necessity in his class.

Professor Rosen is a GREAT teacher and extremely helpful all you have to do is be attentive, which as a college student is your job and what you are there to do. He gives you references and tells you what will be on the test, with college level notes and understanding you can easily get an A+. It's 3 tests and one paper. I took him twice!

The class I took, State and Local was a fun class. It was in the morning, but Rosen managed to hold his own in guiding the course well. Alot of students in the class did not participate in class discussion and I found that as poor on their part. He would use examples and analogies that made sense and for the most part helped many as well as I.

Take good notes from the book, articles and the videos that he presents in class. It is best to show up to class so that you won't miss out on the information given. The tests are not bad as long as you have good notes. Put in the time and you will pass, it's not that bad. I would recommend this class to anyone.

Overall good professor. As long as you come to class & take good notes from what he discusses & the book you should be good. Just prepare for his lengthy exams. There is only 3 that count for your entire grade and they are all short responses, be specific & elaborate to get full credit. They are open note though so just put in effort & you'll pass.

He knows what he is talking about, but doesn't know how to teach it very well. He would ramble on about different topics we didn't even have to know.
