If your not lazy, and you are willing to put in the effort to study, then Professor A will be a great choice. Her lectures are interesting and quite entertaining at times. Attendance is and isn't mandatory. Meaning, she does give pop quizzes!! Sometimes the pop quizes could help with the exam. You MUST study for the exams but the work load is average!!!

Good choice of teacher. Assignments require thought but arent that hard, but she expects you to complete the work on time. PLEASE select your group project members wisely. I didn't, I pick a group that did nothing ugh, she does grade you on an individual rubric and a group one. She is so into government. Good choice if you like having conversations

Professor Anderson was great and was very caring and patient. She made GOVT interesting by providing videos and group discussions rather than just sitting down and taking notes throughout the entire lecture. Be prepared to take the exams and quizzes.

For the tests she gave you a review with what terms you need to study. The only thing that I didn't really like is that you had to do two presentations for the semester.

The facts she will include will not be emboldened, italicized, included in the end-of-chapter vocabulary or made noticeable in any way.
