Very sexy and entertaining; has essay exams though
No Comments
he talks about the constitutionality of pasties and **** people!
Damn fine British Man. HOT HOT HOT BABY HOT. Smokes though but I'm fine with that. His essay test aren't that bad just get on his good side.
He is the OH SO HOT British man you see walking around campus with a cigarette in his hand. He's an awesome teacher, essay exams aren't that hard...just study some....it's actually fun going to his class! plus you get to look at him. uh huh!!!!!!
Has essay exams but all questions come from the notes
A fantastic instructor that handles everyone's comments. Just another one of the fantastic Liberal Arts professors at Wright State.

HOT, HOT, HOT!! He is very cute, great accent and bad boy look. Class is a joy and test are moderate. Essays aren't that bad. Great personality and class is fun!
Clearly the best professor on campus. Intelligent, kind, very helpful and extremely understanding. His class should be a Gen Ed requirement. Truly an asset to the university. Take his class. The man is a saint.
Excellent prof if you don't need to have your hand held. His classes are truly what you make out of it. It certainly doesn't hurt that he is serious eye candy...
Excellent teacher and very entertaining. Send the women into a real uproar...
He was a good professor. His grading system is very easy, but you need to show up for class and read New York Times articles on a weekly basis.
Excellent Professor
Very clear and down to earth.
Great prof, very friendly, and goodness is he HOT!
So intelligent, so funny, so sexy, so HOT!! Take all you can with him. ;-)
He is a great teacher and his class is intresting but can people stop calling him HOT especially since I'm sure he reads these and he is likely to get cocky about it (as if he already isn't). Oh by the way read his book its intresting if your into PLS.
Good teacher,fun class,plays favorites though. He can occasionaly seem arrogant and sometimes puts people down if their ideas aren't exactly like his, but if you talk to him after class he's really nice
There are good and bad points to his class. Just to be clear, I was in the Honors section. Very fun in class, very informal. Very willing to give any kind of help that he possibly can. Very detailed on tests, even when he says he's not going to be.
VERY HOT, and has a nice British dialect. on top of all that he is a great professor with a sense of hummor that makes class very entertaining
I took his honors PLS class. He was very nice and class was a very casual setting, however it can sometimes be frustrating when he tells you you don't need to go into great detail on the essays but then he took points off when i wrote all lecture info.
British accent!! Need I say more!! I do, he is an amazing professor who knows his subject very well!!!
Incredibly intelligent and fun to listen to--British. All of my chick friends thought he was hot. I enjoyed his conservative and logical views. Everyone should take Anderson for Poly Sci.
He really knows his subject very well, I'm not a fan of writing papers, but had no problem writing about the video.

Great class.
Well at least the accent was good and that is all that can be said about this man and how he could be better looking so girls stop saying his HOT its discouraging to see him after you read that.
Class was fun, had good humor to it. He wasn't very helpful tho and his demeanor left something to be desired.
I'm just wondering Girls how many got anything other than an A in this mans class. He is an easy teach got A's in all of his classes but I'm sorry to say he aint as good looking as most will let on. Good accent though but if I want that Ill go to england
Not a bad teach if you don't want to learn but if thats your goal he doesn't challenge you enough. He is very well knowledged on genereal areas but if you like depth forget it he ain't your man.
Not a bad wraping but thats all there is what lies inside is a disappointment
his accent is absolutely lovely and makes the class even more interesting. definantly not a class to skip
Keeps the class entertained and awake. I love his frankness and candor, he doesnt mince words or beat around the bush. Plus having a European perspecive on political issues help to think outside the box.
A little bit cocky but hey thats how the brits are never saying anything bad about his country he gets p.o.ed majorly but oh its okay for him to diss yours. Over all not a bad teach but a bit on the hard side if you don't do the work.
class is easy if you do the readings, and just go to all the lectures. he is very entertaining. Ladies! for a prof. he is HOTT! I never missed a lecture!ha You'll like the accent too!
He's a really good teacher; really knows a lot about what he's talking about. His tests are fairly easy if you read and look over the material, as well as if you follow his study guides. He's very entertaining and definately not hard on the eyes; although he MIGHT be a little fruity...:)
his class isn't that bad, but be prepared for a LOT of reading! if you don't like to read, then i recommend not taking him. he's very easy to follow because he's funny and puts things in easy to understand ways. and ladies, it also doesn't hurt that he's actually kinda hot for an older man.
He is an easy teacher you just need to know what to write on his exams everyone makes such a big deal of how much you have to read for his exams but in truth I never read anything and I got an A in the class infact in all his classes. As long as you have an opionion and can support it your good.
He's a good prof. He has somewhat interesting lectures, beware some are pretty boring. He gives extra credit. Make sure you go to lectures and go over ALL material. Overall, the class isn't very difficult. TA's can help you, also. He is pretty arrogant, but oh well, just get over it.
Class wasn't too hard. A lot of material to study. He gives you everything you need to know before the test and there are study sessions you can take advantage of. Some extra credit. He's British and has a sense of humor. Some lectures were boring but for the most part interesting.
Dr. Anderson is pretty knowledgeable about International politics. Can seem somewhat condescending in class, but if you speak to him afterwards he's nice. All in all, one of the better profs in the department. The only thing to complain about is his constantly eating mints -drives me nuts!
This man only cares about looking good sodon't do anything that can make him look bad he'll put you down he is entertaining but when you walk away from the class your not sure if you learned anything If Looking for a comedian come take it but if you want to learn don't(only reason I do is for the A)
Mostly knows what he's talking aboutbut he is very snobby.Likes to make fun of a select few students to get a laugh out of the rest of the class.And instead of getting a dose of liberalism like other profs-you get to hear him bash America! If u like being called a fat & stupid American then take him
Anderson is smart and funny. Female students love him. Gives a real world view of The United States that offend some red neck students, but he could care less. He keeps class fun and I suggest him to anyone that needs a Political Science class
Liam is a great teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed his lectures, his humor (down with the French), and his knowledge. I enjoyed every class I took with him from International Organization to any other class he taught.
Anderson's an ok professor.It's evident that he knows what he's talking about, but i'm not so sure that he really wants to be teaching. He tries too hard to appeal to the majority of the class. He seems to judge his own worth by what his students think of him,instead of the intelligent person that he is.What's up w/ the hot point-he has a big nose!
Anderson's a fairly decent professor, especially for an older guy. I have to say I was somewhat dissappionted with this class. I thought since he travelled to the Middle East he would have lots of cultural experiences to share, however he only spoke of the kind of hotel he stayed in, etc. Can act self-centered sometimes, but there are worse profs
Rocks. Hard!
i really like the way he gets through the class content it is very easy to listen because he is so cute. i just wanna... gradeing is a little harsh but hey its college get over it.
He is an okay guy takes offense easily so take care on what you say. Looks can be decieving with this man and take note girls next time you see him (any time after Fall 2005) he will be married so you can look but don't touch as they say.
Anderson makes his lectures fun and interesting...we even got to watch Jon Stewart in class several times. However, for a Gen Ed, this class is hard. All his tests are short answer and essay which sucks
First off, his British accent is great. Take notes, and actually study them before tests. I wouldnt suggest cramming because the tests can be difficult. Read the NYT articles and I sugguest flash cards bc they are a big part of the test. He takes attendence points so dont miss out on those. He took both political sides in my class.
Pretty solid teacher. Knows his stuff and is happy to help if you will just ask! Speak up in his class and you will do fine!
Dr. Anderson is a GREAT teacher. He is very smart and very funny, playing the british role very well. His exams can be a little challenging because they are completly blue-book, but if you study the material you will do fine. Lots of newspaper articles to read for the class, really helps you keep on top of current events.
Dr. Anderson is wonderful! Take his PLS courses and you will NOT be disappointed!
Good Prof. Fun to listen to, knows Iraq well!
I very much enjoyed his class - he's thorough, an expert in European and Middle-Eastern politics, and very quick witted (which makes for interesting class debates). Tests (usually essay), research papers and class presentations are directly from the readings and class notes. Class time was very interactive.
Excellent teacher. Teaches PLS in a British way. Excellent. Take him if you get a chance.
Charming ol'bloke. A bit kindred and blimey ol'sorts. Very much a pleasure indeed. Well then merry-o, ta ra ta boom di-ay, and God save the Queen!
Great professor, knows what he is talking about. The class can be a challenge if you dont do your assignments, but he does make it very interesting. : )
Excellent Professor, teaches Political Science in an British Way. Take him if you can highly recommended.
Exams were somewhat difficult, but class was interesting and well taught
Weapons of Mass Destruction- Nice guy and relatively interesting.Big on class participation. Class can be somewhat difficult if you're unaware of politics.
excellent prof. very laid back and funny guy. attendance not mandatory but he gives points for coming. really knows his stuff.
Dr. Anderson is a great professor. Take him for any PLS class if you can. He doesn't bash Americans in's more of a kind ribbing not bashing. He's here in the US isn't he? Funny and easy going tests are written but easy if you show up and read.
If you see Dr. Anderson's name for a PLS class, TAKE IT!! He is by far the best in the department. Lot's of reading and a fair amount of papers but he grades easy and the tests are easy if you show up to class. Pay attention to detail and interact in the class you'll get an A for sure.
Take Dr. Anderson for any class you can. He's awesome and helpful. Read the books and ask his opinion/help on the papers. Also participate in class.
This class is not easy especially if you dont have a strong background in politics. you have to actually know the info you cant study for his tests the night before try a week in advance. make sure you read the new york times! go to his office if needed although it might not help
Had him last quarter and his class is not hard at all. Gives extra credit on all exams.
He's a great guy. His class is entertaining and well worth the work. He's also pretty funny too. Realist. "It's wall to wall sass in the front row" haha.
If you get a chance to take his Weapons of Mass Destruction class, it is highly suggested. Very engaging lectures that don't revolve solely around powerpoints. The tests are all about things that were covered clearly in class and the reading assignments, which are interesting. He has non-multiple choice tests, but curves them fairly. Great class.:)
He's a really funny guy and keeps the class entertained. He really knows what he's teaching. All you do during class is take notes, and then there are three exams. They are completely short answer and extended response which is difficult but manageable. The required book was a difficult read, but was only used a little bit.
He kept class interesting. He explained class content in which was relatable to students. The class isn't the easiest but if you study and read the New York Times articles you will be just fine. I would definitly take him again if I could.
Professor Anderson is AWESOME!!!!! Very great teacher. Follow his slides, notes and pay attention in class and you will do very well.
Dr. Anderson is amazing! There is never a dull moment with him. I loved his class and I hate politics. Ironic, right? Exams are extended response and strictly what it is he discussed over the semester. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Pay attention in class and you will be fine!
Dr. Anderson is a pretty cool guy. A great guy and a great professor! Always puts in a good-natured ribbing on the French.
Anderson is a witty, engaging professor who makes the class interesting. He also does a great job of incorporating multimedia into his lectures. Have taken 3 of his classes and all were incredibly pleasant. Tests are somewhat unorthodox, and can be difficult if you do not know the topic. No multiple choice questions and a lot of writing. Easy AB.
Extremely entertaining. British. you'll have a few long papers, which stinks a bit, but he really is excellent. I would even go to his classes just to observe and learn something.
Any class with Dr. Anderson is worth taking, even when the subject matter is less than exciting.
This class isn't set up like a normal lecture. He teaches as he sees fit and a lot of the information is on current events. Asking for help is a must and the tests can be hard if you don't study your notes. Attendance is for credit. The only textbooks are the ones you read to write papers on.
Best teacher I have had yet.
good teacher and if he didn't teach politics i would definitely take him again
Overall he's a pretty awesome professor. He knows what he is talking about when it comes to politics. His class was very entertaining and fun. The only bad thing were the exams. Both were short answer and very difficult. However you do have around 4 papers, participation, and attendance to help boost your grade. He will do anything he can to help.
Dr. Anderson could talk for hours and I would listen. What he has to say is interesting, relevant, and engaging. He challenges you in an educational context to get to know what you are talking about. He is an excellent teacher.
Awesome. Taking another of his classes next semester.
His lectures were great. We were supposed to do 2 papers during the semester over 2 different videos but we ran out of time to do the 2nd paper so he gave everyone an automatic 100% on the second paper. The last week of class we talked about North Korea so we watched Team America clips. The 2 main grades are the mid term and final. Must study for.
Weapons of Mass Destruction online was amazing. Anderson is a fair grader, and the books he required for reading were very interesting. I have never enjoyed online lectures more than I enjoyed Andersons'. Every class that I have taken with him has been amazing, I highly recommend him.
great professor
He did videos instead of live online lectures, and they were really fun. He is really engaging especially in the second half of the class were he was talking about the middle-east. We didn't have textbooks to read, but we did have two books that we had to write papers - the books are pretty interesting/engaging though.
Dr. Anderson is a very cool professor. You will enjoy him!
Anderson is a cool dude but not that great with testing format. Quizzes are 10-12 questions in 10 minutes. Each one gives a minute per question and the questions are short answer. The papers assigned have little direction and no rubric. You definitely have to work hard. If you don't have time to watch and rewatch lectures, don't bother.
He is a great and engaging professor. Took an online class of his and lectures were pre recorded, it didnt feel like a lecture but more of a conversation. He is very easy to reach outside of class and super nice and understanding.
Take Model UN! The professors are great, truly care, and make the class lots of fun. If you do the work and attend the class, it's an easy A.
He was a very funny professor. Gives extra credit and you can drop an exam at the end of the semester. Make sure you watch the lectures because the exams are heavily based on them.
Dr. Anderson is absolutely amazing. He is very caring and understanding and will work with everyone to make sure everyone has a good grade. Don't be afraid to talk to him. Incredible Professor. Would definitely take another class with him if possible.
Dr. Anderson is one of my favorite professors. He structures his class to be nearly as flexible as it could possibly be. Everything is typically due at the end of the semester (sometimes he does midterms). He is very lecture heavy, but I truly enjoy his lectures, and he always works in a clip from Team America. Super nice guy, love his classes.
An engaging prof who makes the lectures fun. He's super understanding and responsive outside of class. Unstuck Study AI was a lifesaver for exam prep.
Great professor. But you have to watch ALL lectures and basically jot down his words in direct quotes for the exams. It is A LOT of writing. Exams are multiple long word essays + short answer based on lecture + another multiple page essay. He's really good and you learn a lot but it requires a lot of focus and time.
