Loves to hear himself talk. Speaks of current events daily.

Keeps you extremely updated on current events and explains basic government so it's understandable. He can be funny too, if he's having a good day.

The test are a bit tough but he is great at explaining current events. Keeps you updated! Talks alot. If you show interest and that your trying then he will be more then willing to help you succed.
The best government teacher ever. If you take decent notes, the tests will be easy. It's right from the notes. He is very funny, especially when he does his Bill Clinton act. He also loves to talk about current events.

So I really enjoyed this class because as long as you take notes you will make a good grade. Also, Prof. Logas is very funny, talks a lot about what is going on in the world and keeps you informed on current events. I definitly recommend his class.
Mark Logas was... the best professor I had all year. I enjoyed his teaching methods so much that I took another class of his that I didn't even need!
The best Government professor!
This guy is pretty funny, he's a nice person, his puns aren't all that bad. As long as you take notes, you'll do fine. Taking this prof. is recommended.
swell guy knows what he is talking about straight forward, do the reading and take some notes=A.
Very easy and clear material. Make sure you take notes because thats where the tests directly come from. Very few failed.
Great teacher, makes you wish all your professors were more like him. His tests are a little hard because theres so many otes but work hard andhis class is a breeze!
His class was great. He is very funny and makes the class enjoyable. I highly reccommend him. His tests are challenging, but they are multiple choice as is his final. If you take notes his class is easy.
Best teacher i've ever had...you have no worries.
Awesome teacher. Doesn't put his view upon you, tells you all sides of an issue...great teacher to take during an election yr...or any year :)
Great teacher keeps you up on issues going on around you. Test are hard, study the chapters and you should do fine. He grades on a 8 point scale and that is harder, a's are b's and so on.
Awesome teacher! Very fun to listen to and debate with. Easy class if you read and pay attention. He's very knowledgable about politics and you will come out of the class smarter :)
He is good teacher. Requires a little out of class asignments . Easy class if you pay attention and know the book. I would reccomend this coarse.
Great teacher! Very funny! Make sure you show up to class because he gives surprise quizes, and make sure you take good notes and study the material if you expect to pass. Highly recommend on taking him!
Professor Logas grades on an 8 point scale, so it may seem like he's a little harder than other professors. He gives you both sides of the story also, not a biased story. If you do your assignments, and pay attention in class he is an easy A.
He is a great teacher as long as you come to class when you are supposed to.
He's a pretty good teacher, no real complaints. I definetely enjoyed the class more than I thought I would.
Outlines the what parts of the chapter to study (making test studying easy). Discusses real present day issues. Tries to be objective, but always fair. A course worth taking during an election year.
Great Professor! If you think that you can just miss a couple of classes and skate by with a B, then this in not it. Go to class, it will be worth your time. If your in class and paying attention then you will get an A!
doesn't really teach, just reads the book to the class, which makes tests easy. 2 pointless projects in the semester and 3 trips to county government meetings=waste of time. if you know how to study and dont mind sleeping thru class you can get an A.
Laid back yet organized and very thourough. Just show up to class and you'll be fine. No stress.
Excellent, I have political science classes, but he made me interested! Highly recommended, turned out to be one of my favorite classes!
Ive taken Logas for US Gov and Local and State. Local and state was way more interesting. If you want a good grade, Participate in class discussion. Be the first to raise your hand to talk, and he'll bend over backwards for you if u do.
Mr Logas is great...extremely fair and gives fantastic notes. Read the book and do the written assignments and you'll pass easily.
GREAT GUY AWESOME TEACHER FUNNY AS HECK! i dunno what else to say hes very informative i love his impressions i have class at 7 am and he keeps me up in the mornings i would reccomend to all that you choose this guy as your american gov professor!
This is all around, seriously, the best class ive ever taken. I have no interests in politics. But 6 weeks into this class, i love it. Professor Logas does such a great job making this class interesting.
Great professor! I had NO interest in politics whatsoever. This has become my favorite class. He makes the material interesting and his impressions of presidents are hilarious.
This teacher is not for the lazy and weak...however if you're not like that, then he's a great guy and will keep you interested in politics. He'll get students involved in discussions that really make the class fun. Study for the tests, if you don't then it's your fault you didn't do well.
He's a great guy and a great teacher.Strict with attendance.Grades on a 8 point scale.Makes class very interesting and extremely helpful.Only 2 assingments in the semester and like 4 long test.Advice to take him!!!!!!!!!If you're smart.
Awsome teacher, HILARIOUS. He makes impressions of everyone and they're hilarious! The assignments are not that hard, there are only 2 and the tests are ok if you study the material. I do recommend him, he'll make government interesting!
Great teacher. Gives some busy work with out of class assignments ...but not hard. He makes the class interesting and is a very knowladgeable... I definetly reccomend taking him but you do have to study for his test.
This was the BEST professor i ever had!! He is hysterical and makes the class fun. The test are long but not that hard you have to study the charts and the vocab and you should be fine. There are two projects they are time consuming but interesting. Everyone should take this professor. :)~
Funny teacher. I hated politics but he kept me interested. Does impressions! A little comedy show sometimes. No writen homework! 2 assignments. challenging tests.
Ooh lord this teacher is a bit hard. I wasn't a big fan of his tests but there's only two assignments and the rest is review and something called our world. But it's an interesting class and he's really hilarious but sometimes he tries a little too hard.
The class was easy, all you have to do is pay attention, and take notes. He makes politics interesting even to those who dont care. The two assignments are pretty much written out for you as well. He was an awesome teacher.
wonderful professor! great sense of humor, very smart and passionate about government. grades fairly. the observations and group projects were time-consuming, but i learned so much. also, he will always answer any questions you have and help you out if you have difficulty. highly recommended!
He is the best teacher I have ever had. Extremely informative. I hated politics before I took this class but he made it so interesting.He will bend over backwards to help you.I wish every teacher was like him.
He is a good proffessor. He makes class interesting by incorporating the media and other activities into his lectures. He helps you out with questions and is quick to respond to emails. He cares about helping your grade and gives extra credit. He can however, teach a little biased at times
He was a great teacher. He loves History and you learn alot. You do have to study for tests, quizzes and do a research paper. He excepts you to be there everyday he takes off points if you miss a day. The class is not boring. =-) Good Luck.
He allows the students to voice his/her opinions.
Awesome, this is teacher you wish you had for everyclass. you could fail his class and still want to take it...You learn whats important and its not bias... you can speak out your opinion and not be criticized. Easy A or B thats up to you...
I have never been good at government, and he made it so interesting. You have to work for your grade but he makes it well worth it. Everyone should take his class.
An amazing teacher. I have taken him for two classes and he is great. He makes the class interesting. I walked away with so much information. He treats his students with such respect. He has been a help to me during a hard time in my life. He is funny as well. I highly recommend Professor Logas.
Great teacher. I hated any sort of politics before I took this class. I really learned alot of info that can be used in everyday life. Wonderful teacher. But make sure you don't miss any classes
He is a very good teacher,but the thing is that he will make u study a lot during summer term exams were 100 questions each.You would love the class he is very funny I passed with a B
The best teacher you could have! He's very funny. And you learn a lot from him. The only tip i give is study what he tells you to study and you'll do good. I recomend everyone this teacher. He's a geat teacher in every way.
Great teacher. Not a walk inthe park but not hard if you pay attention and do the reading. Gives you study guides for test that are great. Makes class very fun and interesting.
I love Mark Logas. He's an incredible professor who has a lot of outside information to bring to the class. Very fair and available to students. I think he'd vote for me if I ran for governor. ;)
What a wonderfull person. I never thought I would actually like political science, but I think the way the class is taugh has a huge influence on the students's success. Professor Logas makes this class a very didactive one, we disscuss current issues at the beginning of class and that's defenitely a good way for us to interact and express our opinions. such a nice person, therefore, makes this class a fun one.
Great teacher. loves to tell jokes but also teaches well. sometimes tends to go off topic but overall a good teacher
Very knowledgeable, able to relate everything to real occurrences. You will learn so much. Cares about students doen't care about dom Questions. Easy to contact. Returns papers next class.
Logas is the most amazing teacher ever! He is extremely knowledgable and teaches in a way that relates everything to real life events. He also goes out of his way to help you with anything relating to politics, and he can answer any question. If you can learn from paying attention to the lectures, you will definately get an A.
very good teacher, very helpful
Logas teaches his material with a bias slant. You will not learn much about local govt. but more of his complaining about politicians, mostly democrats. He presents his views as if there's no reason for you to doubt the legitimacy of what he's saying even though it's all opinion. Very conservative- even though he would try to tell you differently.
Logas is a great professor, but be prepared for 100 question multiple choice tests after 2 chapters. If youre cool with then hes the one you should take.
He is a very strict and hard teacher! He does not have any sympathy for anyone....and is very anal about his teaching style!! Do all the work and you must do good on all the test!!
Test questions are very tricky, in lectures the class is very uninvolved, he is unreasonable with attendance and late policies and not very helpful if you are having issues.
This professor is great. If you are interested in gov. and media and willing to work hard-not just taking the class for an easy A-you will learn a lot. This prof. gives you unique opportunities to learn from professionals in media and gov. in addition to involved, helpful lectures and interesting texts.
Very passionate about what he does and very funny. He's always willing to talk over anything you may need and shows a genuine interest in his students. There is a lot of reading, as in any college course, but you will read EVERY word in the book. I made a B in the class without doing the reading though. I loved the class. LOGAS 4 PREZ!
very biased. Really rude to students that don't do well in his class.
This teacher LOVES his job! His lectures are really interesting (eventhough I could careless about politics). He is very strict with attendance and being on time. Do you work, and you'll do fine. Not much at home work. Plan on studying a lot for his tests. Rewarding class.
mm.. he know his stuff cant lie I learned alot when I paid attention.. His grading scale is different, very strict. Attendance counts aloooooottttt so make sure ur always in class and on TIME cuz it will count as an absent if ur not on time.. very interesting class.. Do all ur work!!
He knows what he is doing, funny, but his class is boring, he is always talking,and by the way, he is biased against students.
Relax this guy does talk a lot more than needed but the class is easy. I never took notes I really did not study and I got my c. I not shooting for valadectorian I just want to graduate hes definelty a republican but not as right wing as you might think
I had him for Government and Media. Logas is VERY conservative, and is rude to students who disagree with his point of view. (Which aren't that many here in this crappy school). He MAKES you go on field trips, some of which are very very far away, and he does not care if you can't afford gas. Class speakers suck. Spends too much time on history.
These people who rate him are crazy!! I had him in spring 06. He tells you what he wants from the get-go. Point-Blank. Just follow directions. He is hard on attendence. Other wise, knows his stuff. If you need help he will help. Very funny bush impression. Got a 95 on project. Overall got a B in class.
Professor Logas sucks! He thinks he's funny, but he's not. He's too strict on attendence. If your literally a min late, you get penalized for it. He barely covers the chapter, and his grading scale is HORRID! A 90 is a b. he uses a 8 pt grading scale rather than 10. He has no concern for anyone but himself, and he judges students like a jury. eww!!
I LOVE THIS TEACHER!! i learned so much, and i didnt know anything about politics before this class. A must take!!!
he is a very good teacher and knowledgeable in subject. nothing gets past him so attendance is very strict. study guides are very helpful with exams. i would recommend him.
Great Teacher,funny and lighthearted guy, no hw except 1 paper and 1 take home quiz, gives extra credit,all around good teacher. If you are willing to listen and take a few notes you will do well.

This professor is awesome. He is very passionate in his work and makes his points clear and interesting. Highly recommended although I wouldn't drink his bath water...
Mr. Logas is by far the best teacher I've had in college. I never thought I'd actually stick to going to a class at 8:30 in the morning, but he makes class fun and exciting. He is very smart, funny, and he is a teacher that really loves to teach! His class makes you think, and makes you want to get invovled.
What can i say a great man who is welling to help his student. i took him for state and local gov and i also took him for Us government. Yes he's that good he's so helpful and eager to help his student i learned alot in this class also because history is my favorite subject. If you want to challenge your self and work hard to accomplishing take hi
this is probably the funniest teacher i ever had, he'll have you laughing the whole class. really smart guy, his project are different but he doesnt grade that hard
Professor Logas is a very helpful and nice man. His tests can be somewhat difficult...but if you study you'll do fine. He bends over backwards for his students. He trys to make sure everyone participates in class. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. If you think you're going to be late, don't even show up. Easy grader. TAKE HIM! Highly RECOMMENED!!!!!!
Why did I ever listen to these ratings. This professor should keep his day job as a radio talk show host. his lectures are all over the place and never about the book.then he only test u on the book and use his entire lectures as extra credit answeres.i found his class not productive nor entertaing but annoying
very interesting as uses alot of visual learning techniques
This Class wasnt as hard but he is so strict on attendence, if u come in 2 mins late you have to sign the late log. The class started full and towards the end he dropped half the class due to basically attendence. He talks about whats happening in our world most of the class and our test have nothing to do with it. This class is okay i dont suggest
This professor is awesome! If you really like government then you should take this class "hands down". His tests require you to study alot but in the end you learn alot from his lectures. I would highly recommend this class.
He's a great teacher. He's relly into it.
Great professor! Makes material very interesting, and does great impressions of Limbaugh, Bush, Clinton, and Reagan. Drop your assumptions of party politics, he throws ideological curve-balls to keep you thinking.
4 a 7am class he will keep you awake. the Professor is really knowledgable he has alot to offer to his students. study u will do well. coversalotinfo However he has an extremely STRICT attendence policy, 5 absents your gone, by the way if u walk in 5min late he will count ur tardy as an absence.He doesn't mess around. Make sure u read ur syllabus.
Hilarious freaking teacher! He really changed my mind about our government and made me believe more in it. As well I think that he really changed my major. Awesome teacher and super awake like he took 5 cups of Cuban coffee in the morning and will keep you awake!. Persuades you to do your own research. Great teacher I strongly recommend him.
Mr.Logas is very funny and keeps the class interesting which was neccessary for a 7:00 am class. Always makes jokes and encourages debating and conversation. Attendance is VERY important. Do not miss 5 or more classes or come in late too much. Also, make sure to have your cell phones off before class. He has kicked students out during tests for it.
Excellent professor! Very funny keeps students attention. He breaks things down easily and helps understand government. One of the best professors at VCC. Take his class! I got an A. Research paper is worth 25% of grade so take it seriously!
BEST TEACHER AT VCC!... Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. No surprises, great syllabus and study guide. I highly recommend this professor. Not to mention he is extremely funny guy who honestly enjoys teaching and cares about his students. I only wish I could take his other classes! WAITLIST if you have too...
Awesome teacher
AWESOME TEACHER! He makes government very interesting. His class was fun and no too hard. He teaches a lor about what is going on in the world today, not just what is in the text book. Excellent teacher :)
Great teacher! great sence of humor! he kept me interested the whole time. By the end of the class I had a very different perspective on government and politics in general. He helped me understand how the system works and how to make educated decisions. EXCELLENT teacher, you will enjoy his class!!!
This is guy is amazing! He is pretty straight up. If you dont like straight up people this is not the class for you. I may not agree with his political views but this teacher is great and you are going to learn. If you have problems coming to class on time dont take it. It will destroy you.
He is very strict on attendance. This guy is amazing. He is entertaining and doesn't try and put any political views on you. He keeps you very up to date with what is happening in the tri-county area around Orlando. I learned a lot from this course. The tests are hard but if you do the other work you will be ok. Take him hes a good guy.
Mr. Logas is an amazing teacher. He says that he teaches without bias lol but he totally tells you his views and he doesnt even know it. As long as you study for the tests which can be tough some times, you'll do fine. He also does really good impressions of politicians which is good if you have him in a 7am class. Great teacher just dont be late!!
Great Teacher! Encourages class participation. I had little interest in Government prior to this class but learned quite a few things and actually learned to write my congressman. He made the class fun, very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Professor Logas.
Wow, he is an amazing teacher! Class is always fun & he cracks jokes alot. He makes it fun to learn and shows videos, and other stuff to get you involved. He truly has a gift... he's the best professor I've ever taken.
Professor is funny and energetic. He challenges you to formulate your own opinions but makes sure to voice his, which he holds very strong. He's in your face about his stance on certain issues and doesn't go over exams before hand so a lot of on your own studying is done. Overall the class is interesting and fun and challenges you.
THE BEST TEACHER AT VCC. Im serious, he loves teaching. He loves students, probably the only one that I've ever known who actually asks students for their personal opinions. Take him and I promise you that you won't regret it. He is amazing!
seriously beyond the best professor on earth. I have had him for 2 semesters now and he is seriously my role model!!! he is the best!!!!
He's great but very serious. gives you a study guide so study! he has a different grading scale. 92-100 is an A. Fun, loves to teach. ask for your opinion. if your late dont come to class. late work DONT BOTHER. if you are looking for an easy A. he's not the guy. you want to learn alot he's the guy
This guy is amazing! I took him for the 7am class, he kept me awake! If u like being late, dont take him if u get offended easily dont take him he is straight up and an excellent teacher. He encourages your participation and he makes u use your brain! Not an easy A you are gonna have to work hard but its worth it, I got an A and learned a lot!
Absolutely the best professor I've ever had. He is energetic and he really loves teaching. He has a great sense of humor. He doesn't tolerate tardies. He encourages participation. I highly recommend him
if you like to miss class every now and then, dont take this teacher. you have to withdrawl after 5 missed classes and marks you absent if your late. i guess he's a good teacher but i dont like most of his opinions so he bothered me alot. i hated attending his class! TEST ARE ON AVG. 85 QUESTIONS!!
Prof. Logas is an AWESOME professor. He really knows what he is talking about and makes the class really really interesting. His tests are really hard and you have to work really really hard to get a good grade, but it is totally worth it. He is probably one of the best professors I have ever taken
very opinionated but respects others opinions and feelings. very fun class and learned a lot. loved loved this class! if you dont take him, your missing out! one of the best professors at valencia. LOGAS FOR PRESIDENT!
He is very interesting, and he really knows his stuff. Very strict with attendance policy. Gives you a study guide for every exam and has different activities and extra credits that can help you out. I would definitely recommend him! Hes great!
Easy A. Research paper is huge. It's really a pity he's so strict on attendance because his lectures basically consist of right-wing nutjob diatribes, although he's a pretty funny guy (and the impressions are wonderful!)
A class worth taking. He gives like two homework assignments throughout the whole semester, there's three exams that are not that easy but he gives a lot of extra credit opportunities and you leave the class having a lot more knowledge of how government works. Hilarious impressions!
Great teacher, hes really clear about what he wants you to learn, doesnt give many homework assignments. Gives study guides that will make sure you get at least a B on all the tests. One research paper, he grades easy so long as its written at college level. Does the BEST impersonations ever, beyond halarious. Took it over summer 6 wks, was CAKE.
Logas is a great prof. he uses real life examples and guests. He knows Gov. and media. He also has mandatory field trips and grades on a 7 point scale. I would recommend his class only if you love government or media otherwise dont take him. I personally loved the class
I disagree with all these comments. I don't think he is that great of a professor. He knows his stuff, don't get me wrong, but he claims to be unbiased when in actuality, he's super biased. He tries not to tell you his political stance but its so easy to see. His opinion seeps through every sentence and he brainwahses the class. An a is 93+,a B 82+
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! his lectures are really interesting and there is never a boring moment! he is a great professor and you will learn a lot from him he is definetly worth your time my FAVORITE professor at Valencia! you never get homework or classwork but the 3 tests are kind of difficult but you get a very detailed study guide so it should be an
Mark Logas is my favorite professor of all time. Going into Government class for the first time, I was worried that I was going to be brainwashed in to a liberal zombie, but on the contrary he is very independent! He lectures almost all class long, and they are extremely interesting! There is almost no homework, and the exams are not difficult!
This guy is the best! Is a great teacher, knows his stuff, and makes great impersonations of current and past presidents. I have learned so much from him.
I've been dying to rate this professor because although he's a "great" teacher, his class is by far the hardest I've taken at valencia. Attendance is crucial, so if you're late you're absent. All he grades you on is test, quizzes, and exams so if you're not an over-achiever and there's more to your life than studying, then DONT TAKE THIS CLASS.
I love Mr. Logas! He is such a great professor. He will give you a completely unbiased opinion on everything in politics. He tells his students he's politically incorrect on the first day of class, so if you're really opinionated, DON'T take this class. He gives you study guides for all the tests, and there are only 3, but READ the book, youll pass
One of the best professors I've had. Very lively and entertaining. In my opinion it was an easy class, but you must study. He gives you everything you need to study in his guides and emails. Every tardy counts as an absense so make sure you're there on time. Really suggest this class. I'm sad the semester is over. :(
Literally the worst professor ever. Stay far, far away. Never take this professor. He will make your life hell and you will hate it and he will love the fact that your life is hell and you are miserable in his class.
WHO EVER WROTE POSITIVE COMMENTS ON THIS GUY IS TRULY OUT OF THEIR MIND, YEA HE'S FUNNY, I GIVE HIM THAT. BUT IF YOUR NOT GOOD AT TEACHING YOURSELF THEN STAY AWAY, FAR AWAY. IF YOUR LATE, YOUR STILL ABSENT, WOW!!!! THE WORST CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN. HALF THE CLASS DROPPED THE FIRST WEEK. SAVE YOURSELF SOME TIME AND PIC ANOTHER.
dont take this class 5 absences and your dropped no leeway. Tests are extremely hard. guy is crazy, dont get me wrong he knows a lot but dont take this unless your really interested in gov
Logas was GREAT! You HAVE to go to class, but just keep the right mindset and enjoy yourself! If you apply yourself to the course you will enjoy it! Get on his good side and try your best... This course changed my outlook on everything!
His class is not easy at all, but he is a great professor!
ALL YOU DO IN THE CLASS IS TALK ABOUT NEWS NEWS NEWS..! THENNNN YOU GO HOME TO TEACH AND PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE 80/90 QUESTIONS TEST THAT HE GIVES YOU..! NOT AN EASY CLASS..!! NOT AT ALL .. !
Professor Logas has to be the best teacher I have had so far! But if your not interested in government and the news than you probably shouldnt take this class. Its definetly not an easy A but if you actually want to learn something then definetly take him he is a great teacher!
He is a very good teacher. Hates when your late and love to talk about the government. Tests usually have about 85 questions. Study guides help alot just study and try to go to every class....changed my outlook about government and i got a B. Its not that hard
Professor Logas was a great teacher! Very passionate about his teachings and encourages student participation. Teaches right from the book, plus adds his own twist on things, would definitely recommend him to any student looking to take Government!
Yes he talks a lot but he makes it interesting - even for an early morning class. Take notes and read!
Extremely long tests. Good study guides. Lectures (that are on tests) have more to do with current events than the book. The current events normally don't have to do with US Government at all i.e.****s. I personally wouldn't take this class if certain topics would bother you. I did not care for this class and did not make the grade I needed to.
His tests were very long and pretty hard.. at least I thought so.I was one point away from a B ONE POINT!!WHY COULDN'T HE GIVE ME THE POINT????!!!!!!!He is funny I'll give him that , but he is also NUTTY as a fruit cake!!
Is strict but if you follow his rules you will have a very rewarding experience. Class usually consists of him giving lectures on current events. Very passionate and knowledgeable man. Interesting and humorous to listen to (former radio talk show host). Tests not hard if you study and review study guides. One research paper. Little homework.
the best professor I had this summer.follow the study guides and youl do great. very intersting information, it will get your emotions going, definally a honest helpful, and a professor who care. follow the rules or youll get put on the spot.
EXCELLENT teacher. Funny guy, a little strict at times but overall awesome class. He makes it interesting without a doubt. Turn phone off, pay attention, write notes, and study to get an A
Logas is great. Gives good lectures, keeps students laughing. His opinions are strong and sometimes can be offensive. Tests are easier then you would think. JUST FOLLOW THE STUDY GUIDE He has strict attendence rules and cell phone rules, but overall he is the best teacher ive had. His class is not an easy A but with a lil bit of work its attainable
Ha ha ha its all fun and games till u take the first test. All he does is talk about the news and then u have to go home and teach yourself everything in the book. Anyone that has a brain can tell he's very against the government and all study guides,lectures, and notes are all biased. All he does is bash the gov. Ya he's funny but enough is enough
I am from Cuba and am so proud to be in the U.S. . It's sad to see an American man bash the government like this and have the most ridiculous tests based only on his opinions. He's funny, and good at acting but i tell my friends not to take him. The class is only his opinions, nothing else. get to know his beliefs if u want to pass. Logas sucks
I had no interest in politics/government before this class but after only having him for a few weeks it's the only thing I talk about. Logas may seem biased, but he's realistic and doesn't "sugar coat" ANYTHING. He's a professional, and knows what he's talking about. Tests are fair if you complete the study guides and study them!!
Look, I honestly never knew how to study or what to expect since I'm a freshman but I've gotten 94+ on two exams already and 100 on my research paper. If you read the chapters and listen and engage in his lectures, it is not bad at all. The only way to get a C lower is if you don't try whatsoever.
If you are lazy and do not like to study do not take this class. Prof. Logas is very clear, offers study guides and goes over everything in class. You must work hard to get a good grade. He has an 8point grading scale which makes u work harder. He is nice, funny and interesting! Take him, I currently have a B!
What ever you do do not be late to his class, it counts as an absence and you only get 5 a semester. When it comes to teaching not so much! Don't make your schedule too full because you have to go watch Traffic Court, City Counsel, and County Commissioner's meetings. Save about $30 in parking fees and tolls for those trips! I wouldn't Take him!
Professor Logas, Is the greatest Govt teacher ever. If you are majoring in Political Science like me you will love him. I'm taking him next Semester for State and Local Govt. Just remember to use the study guides
He truly is a fabulous teachers. His lectures some days are awesome, but some days are boring. You have to read the chapters for the most part and use the study guide for tests, but you definitely know what to expect. If you work hard, you get the grade. He's not impossible, and I really liked his class. I definitely reccomend
Ignore all the comments that say he is a bad teacher, those people are just lazy and obviously don't know how to be responsible.Professor Logas is a wonderful teacher,he has so much passion for what he teaches that it leaves you wanting to know more about the government! He treats you like an adult and expects you to be mature and study!
This teacher has an 8 point grading scale, meaning a 60 is an F and a 92 is a B. He also does not give out many assignments so you must do excellent on all your tests to manage. I do not recommend this teacher if your not going to put in the effort. Which is A LOT.
Prof. Logas is probably the best you can ask for. He's immensely knowledgeable about government and makes every class engaging. That being said, he has little tolerance for tardiness and you'll need to put in some effort to pass the class due to the limited number of assessments and the 8 point grading scale.
Professor Logas is a great teacher. This was my second time with him. State and Local is very fun I had a blast in his class.
This class is no walk in the park. Be prepared to come into class and talk about "World Topics". This professor definetely knows his stuff!!! If you want to learn alot definetely take his class. Studying is required if you want to take the class. If you miss/late to 3 classes he WILL withdraw you. Be prepared to learn alot! =)
At first I despised this man. You all will. But, he taught me so many things that helped me even when I got in trouble with the law. Be prepared to work your ass off but it's so worth it in tHe end. If you don't take him your an idiot. End of story
AMAZING PROFESSOR. end of story. you NEED to take him. I had a blast in his class. yes, you do have to work hard, but it's well worth it. the textbook is a must, attendance is a must. i wish i could take Professor Logas for half the rest of my classes. He's a talented lecturer, and he not only KNOWS the subject, but he is passionate about it, too.
Its obvious the prof himself is rating himself. He is by far the most anal prof at VCC. His attendance policy is ridiculous. VERY opinionated and biased... Total lies on this site. Stop rating yourself Logas..
Obviously spends a lot of time rating himself, I knew he was arrogant but these ratings sound like a Prof trying to sound like a college student. Not a bad prof, but not nearly as good as he tries to make himself sound. I would have given him a better rating had I not decided that this low one matched with one of his made up ratings is equal.
EASY! He gives you study guides and its the test pretty much. He does not teach in class, rather he talks about current events. 4 tests and 3 observations. You go to the courthouse, county commissioners meeting, and city meeting. Pretty easy if you do you're work. 8 point grading scale, which sucks! and mandatory attendence.. would take again!!!
Great professor to take, keeps class interesting no matter how early you take him. Very strict on attendance and being on time. Will not let you attend class if your a minute late. Hard grader but fair. If your polite with him he will do the same for you but if you come in there with an I don't care attitude he will just send you on your merry way
The professor knows his stuff. He is really funny, helpful, and fair. I learned a lot from his class, and I originally had no interest in government. Make sure you read the text book and pay attention in class because that will help you get an A. I would definitely take him again.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! He really knows his stuff & he has a great personality so class is never boring. I had no desire to learn about the government before this class & now i'm constantly looking for more things to learn & i read the paper to bc i now know how important it is to know whats going on in "Our World." If you want to learn to this professor
He was the most fun of my professors this semester he made me laugh a lot. His views on politics were nowhere similar to mine, but I enjoyed hearing his perspectives on things. He has an 8 point grading scale. It is very important that you participate in classes. I got an A in his class and was very pleased with it. Great Professor!
Took Him for 2 Classes at VCC... HE IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!! He does great impersonations and has a lot of knowledge about news, government, and media... The guy is flat out good! GIVE HIM A RAISE AND LET HIM RUN THE SKOOL!!!!!!! LOGAS IS THE MAN!!!!! A's in both classes
AMAZING Professor! TAKE THIS CLASS!!! I learned SO much from this class. He is VERY strict on attendance. He does not teach directly from the book - however he applies his lectures SO well. You have to read the chapters on your own (hello... welcome to college) and take notes in class, utilize the study guides he posts! Thanks again Professor Logas
Honestly, hands down one of the best teachers I've ever had. You should study for his test in order to past, but he gives you tools to pass. He's amazing, and you will learn so much from his class. I hated government at one point, but he made it so much more interesting.
Do not believe anyone! He is the best Professor ever. TAKE THIS CLASS!I learned SO much from this class.He is a wonderful lecturer and I enjojed while I was listening him.You will pass the class by listening him and follow his study guide. Thank you so much again Professor Logas
Take Home quizzes due before class starts. Be late and see ur grade drop. Phone rings and you will ask to leave. (In fact you don't have to leave, you will not get credit for that day). Exams are based on study guide. Exams are multiple choice, with some true or falls and 2 written short essays if you can call it that. participate and get credit
He is GREAT!! best teacher ever! learned so much! attendence is MANDATORY and you have to pay attention to whats going on in the world, but its so beneficial! Helped me make informed decisions about all gov aspects! Especially since it was election time!! I loved this class!Tests are multiple choice and if you know the study guide you will get an A
Professor Logas was an Awesome teacher, and he has definitely given me some new perspectives!! He is very passionate about U.S. Gov, and his passion is contagious!! You definitely have to work for the grade, but he gives study material that will guide you through all of his tests!!
Many terms and definitions to learn. Memorize key words. Test are multiple/T/F and short essays. Learn the DEC of Ind, learn how a bill becomes a law. The third test is open book (not helpful). Ask and participate (A+) Be in class (A+) Home quiz (A+) Test Low 80's. His grading is 82=C, 83 B, 92 still B, 93=A. He is smart but arrogant. Phone offs
If you want to go to a class where you can't even go to the restroom because if not you miss the remainder of the lecture, then this is the class for you. Not only does he use the 8 point grading scale but he counts tardies as absences so if you are a minute late then that is an absence.
PROFESSOR LOGAS WAS THE BEST! Hands down my favorite teacher at Valencia, he is hilarious and extremely knowledgeable. Lectures can be pretty hard to pay attention to as he goes over A LOT during class. ALWAYS TAKE NOTES ON WHAT HE SAYS, he throws in questions on the tests that won't be found in the book.
I really did not like this teacher. He didn't teach for many classes; he would rather rant about his opinions to the class about the elections. He was too nationalistic and cynical at the same time to be unbiased, so I couldn't take any of his opinions seriously either. When it comes to tests, you're on your own (just read the book).
WARNING: YOU HAVE TO THINK, USE CAUTION WHEN REGISTERING FOR THIS CLASS. Great teacher with sarcasm. This is a college course and if you don't want to think, write, or learn I suggest you take another teacher. He minimizes all distractions, which I appreciate very much! Late=Absent, No Cellphones, No Bathroom Break. 8 pt scale to min. slackers.
Take him if you WANT to learn about governtment! At first, he made it seem like it was going to be the worst class of all time when it was actually very easy. Not afraid to hurt your opinions but at the same time he wanted you to know the truth. Only thing that he could do better on is getting personal. He passed the roll sheet around all 16 weeks.
Took Mass Media and Politics with him at UCF and I loved every minute of it. Great professor, really opens your eyes on the subject and gives both sides of the story. Two tests that are easy if you studying the few readings and listen to lectures.
A true professor. Lectures were great. Quizzes and test by the book. No surprises and learned a lot. Highly recommend. Bring in Our World topics, never know when he will ask for one.
How could someone not take Logas seriously?!! HE KNOWS HIS STUFF.He has to be one of the most knowledgable men that I know. Took him a couple years ago and enjoyed every second of his lectures. Attendance is mandatory which wasn't a problem for me due to how funny he is. Tough exams but just study/read the book! TAKE HIM
At first it seemed as if it was going to be the worst class ever. He tends to yell a lot and bash other people's opinions. However, Professor Logas is very knowledgeable and definitely makes you learn a lot about government. Uses an 8-point scale, but if you study well you can easily get an A.
This guy knows his stuff and he keeps learning American Gov. exciting! He makes you work though. Do the study guides, share "our world" topics, and study for your tests you will be fine.
Logas is the man!!! Take his class you won't regret it. He makes you so aware of what is going on with this country! Hands down the best teacher I have ever had. He cares about his students. We seriously need more teachers like Logas!
This professor isn't a light grader, but his class is worth it. 945am over the summer and I can't even complain. He truly knows what he's talking about and he just wants to wake students up to how imperative it is to know facts on our government, to show that it's within our power to invoke change. Just...do the work! (He's funny too)
This class was very hard but I'm glad I took it with Logas. Always do the Our World Topics, read your e-mails before the tests, do your quiz they will help a lot with your grade and always participate. The textbook is a must - rent it in Chegg bookstore. He teaches about current event in government. You have to read chapters on your own time!
Logas is GREAT! He is so passionate about what he teaches and he really opens your eyes to things you weren't aware of before. I'm definitely taking another class with him! He grades on an 8-point scale so its a little harsh (a 90 is a B) but if you work hard and study you can pass easily. He is hilarious and I LOVED his class, he made my weeks.
Professor Logas was such a great instructor. He provides a study guide at the beginning of the semester outlining everything that is covered on the tests (term and concepts) he follows his syllabus pretty well. Reading the book was necessary to passing the course and understanding some of the things he talked about in class.
His class is a must do! Really makes you understand US Government with real world issues. It is true, his grading scale is a bit harder than most. However, if you do the study guides and go to class and READ THE BOOK, you'll pass with flying colors. I would strongly recommend him.
25% of grade is participation, so get ready to talk. Also get ready to ignore his long, typically bigoted rants. 8 pt grading scale. Class is just a long rant, you must read the book on your own. While class itself is unenjoyable IMO, getting the grade was easy. Show up, participate, do the handouts, and study for the test. That's a guaranteed A.
He knows how to teach and could be really funny. Don't be scared off on the first day, he just makes it seem like it's going to be the hardest class ever (on purpose). The class is actually really easy, As long as you keep up with the book you won't face embarrassment when called out. On top of that he gives study guides that simplify tests .
His class is essentially a front row seat to right-wing talk radio, with all the ups (impassioned speech, seat-of-your-edge "gotcha" moments) and downs (illogical arguments, plays loose with facts). Uses questionable news sources--be prepared to see the Daily Mail regularly. Take this class if you want to be entertained.
You go to class to listen about our current world for about 34 of the class. In the last 10-15 minutes he will manage to cover a chapter of the assigned text. You teach yourself! Expects that students go to a supplemental learning session out of class time to learn the stuff. Not once was a grade posted, even for midterms.
He was very fact based and ready for any question you had for him. Every class was eye opening even at 8 in the morning and I was never bored of what topic he presented to us. It was tough but at the same time really easy if you did your part in the class which is read what he tells you and in a good amount of time.
Logas is the best professor overall!! I always liked government before but taking his class made me minor in political science! he's hilarious and gives you a real eye opening on what is happening in America! I will take every class that he teaches
Enjoyable class he was not boring. If you're thinking this is a class you can slack off and not read the text then this class is not for you. His lectures incorporate what you have been reading. If you want want to talk to him about your grade, you must schedule a face to face meeting . Anything 73% and below are failing grades. Overall, great prof
If you're someone who can't learn from reading the textbook don't take him. His lectures are based on applying the textbook terms to real life current events but it's very interesting and he's hilarious. Required to bring in one current event topic every class and share it out loud for credit. He really knows what he's talking about. Loved him.
Professor Logas might be intimidating at first but he does it only to get great discussion going on in the class on a non bias term. I learned soo much from this class that I actually applied to my daily life. Definitely a class to take!
This guys is very eye opening and very truthful. I know many people bash him for his standing, but honestly he provides FACTS and brings in speakers that even provide more proof of his statements. If you cannot handle being proven wrong then don't take him, if you want to learn and gain a great connection then I recommend this man.
Prof. Logas is passionate about what he talks about. Yes he has his own opinions, but he backs them up with facts. He doesn't judge you if you disagree with him. USE THE STUDYGUIDE and attend class because sometimes he puts things on test he talked about. Do OUR WORLD assignments. I got an A in the class by doing studyguide and got As on all tests.
Good professor, speaks his mind and with humor. 4 exams, 1 take-home quiz, 8-pt grade scale. Lectures on eye-opening facts about government, but most of your exam-prep needs to be studied. Use study guide and read his pre-exam emails (which are like additional study guides). Controversial topics, enjoyed class!
Very intelligent and passionate professor! Just show up to class, listen to lectures and learn. Very few quizzes and two tests. Easiest class! Teaches a lot about government, politics and current events! Super interesting out of class field trips around town so a car is essential for government and media class.
What prevented my getting an A was the fact that homework was hardly assigned. Only tests & there weren't too many. It stinks that those were the only grades that really help you, since tests weren't easy. "Lectures" are just him rambling about current events, which makes fascinating discussion. He's quite strict. Txtbook must be read to pass tests
I took him spring semester of last year and felt that I had to come back and write a review. He's amazing, Its easy to say he's the professor I've learned the most from. He'll grab your attention, and keep it all class. Very eyeopening. He doesn't require much from you, just study, and you'll pass the tests. You get the grade you work for.
Logas is for sure a character. lectures off topic a lot, but hes hilarious so its not boring. study guide for each test and if you just do the study guide you will pass. only 3 tests the whole course and a few take home quizzes. i didnt pass AP Gov in highschool so this class was an easy refresher for me. overall I enjoy this class.
He's a great professor if you want to learn about the world of politics and you don't usually like government he is a great teacher just take advantage of the study sessions cause the tests are hard if you don't study and pay attention for reviews.
He is VERY conservative and biased. With that being said, even if you disagree with him he will always respect your opinion as long as you can back it up with facts. He can be intimidating at first, but he is really funny and caring. His lectures are always interesting. Keep up to date with news, do ALL of the assignments and you'll do fine!
Not a hard class. Only problem is that he grades on a 6 POINT GRADING SCALE. Anything below a 70 is a F.
Professo Logas is AMAZING! for the first time in my life I actually took a care in understanding politics. He makes you work for your grade, as well as he rewards you for your hard work. Do not listen to what other people say about him eing tough or whatever, he is hands down the best!
Logas is very passionate about his work and he has extensive knowledge and experience! He is very clear and helpful as long as you're not slacking off and are taking the class seriously. He makes you work for your grade and it is definitely NOT and easy A class, but you WILL learn a lot.
Pay attention in class, be sure to read the book, and his study guides, (study guidetest), PLUS has E.C questions on exams, be sure to do all "world topics"-current events(he checks them for a grade), 3 Quizzes, he makes learning interesting because he takes what's happening now in the world and relates it back to the chapter students are learning
Professor Logas is the best teacher i've ever had. He is Hilarious, passionate, and all the criteria he presents in class is backed up with factual sources. He has helped me transform my political views, and i've never enjoyed a class so much. Everyone should take this class!!!
It's hard to rate Professor Logas. While he is hilarious, forces you to think outside of the box, and challenges your mind, he really epitomizes what's wrong with most college professors. You aren't allowed to go to the bathroom, you are withdrawn if absent 4 times, and kids get kicked out for talking. Funny guy, but narcissistic and brutal.
Logas is the best professor I have ever had the pleasure of having! I was in his Local and State Government class. Lectures a lot but makes it funny, enjoyable, and you learn about so many things happening in the world. He definitely got me interested in politics and inspired me to go register to vote. Do his study guides and you will do great.
Although he uses a 7 point grading system it makes you work harder, he has a clear passion for what he does and makes government something that you want to learn. I enjoyed every 7 am class and look forward to learning everyday.
Took prof. Logas for state and local government over the summer for the C term. He's a great teacher and his lectures are very interesting. I wrote 2 papers, 1 and 1/2 pages each (during fall and spring semester its 4 papers but easy) and took 4 test but study guides are very similar to test. He likes to speak his mind so try to not get offended.
The first day he seems impossible, but he's really funny and gives a helpful study guide. He says he's not biased but he's very Republican which is fine by me. He has the whole class in stitches sometimes. Seriously study for the tests and you'll do fine. There are four big tests, a couple quizzes, and then the final.
Less engaging in the Online course. Very bland course. Just you and the book. No recorded lectures. Experience gained through attending city, county meetings. Don't miss an assignment - there are NO excuses for make up.
The questions on the exams are not worded well at all. Between interpreting what the professor is trying to say and no help on aiding students in completing the observation assignments, you're not set up to succeed. In all honesty, he's a smart ass when responding to your questions/concerns and doesn't communicate to his ONLINE students well.
Prof Logas is conservative & liberals/far left persons will be quite uncomfortable with his opinions but this is a good thing. Encourages students to factcheck on his fact based opinions. Great lectures on gov material is mainly the last half/third of the class, the rest is talking about news/politics. I don't fall asleep in his class. 10/10
Professor Logas is a real great professor who seems to really care about what he teaches. I took him for local and state government and he made the class very interesting with real stories. He gives around four test and he gives study guides for each; you have about three other assignments but that is it.
Took State&Local govt. all online and loved it. Two mandatory interactive assignments require your presence at the courthouse for observations and were fascinating! Only a handful of other assignments throughout the semester. I strongly recommend professor Logas if you are interested in this class because he makes it fun while keeping it casual.
Follow the study guides for the 4 exams he gives you and you should be good cause that's literally all there is aside from a participation grade and one other small thing. Make sure you don't skip or be late more than twice or you're gone. Overall, this guy and his class are great he's passionate and knows what he's talking about !
Prof Logas was a great teacher might seem difficult at first but he really is an understanding guy! Make u open ur mind to things that go on in our govt and reminds us that this is our country, tests are easy follow study guide. Doesn't really talk about chapters much in class more about current events still not a difficult class
Prof. Logas is hilarious and his State & Local Gov class was a breeze. Super easy just study for the exams, attend class, and put effort into your papers. It's a guarantee A. He really cares about you learning current events and taking something from his class. I would 110% recommend to others and take him again!
Interesting professor who knows what he is talking about. very structured and stood firmly with the schedule which is a plus. Only complaint would be not being able to leave during class for a bathroom break as the teacher does not like that. But all in all the tests are really not that bad (Just study a bit) and the outside gov. visits are easy.
Took POS2041 Online - his blackboard structure could be better, but if you reference the syllabus or just the "My Grades" sections for due dates you won't miss any quizzes. He often reminds you of assignments and exam dates, but for some reason not quizzes - so don't miss those! His response time is usually 1-3 days, but answers are VERY helpful.
Professor Logas really focuses on his students being involved in local government. I took this class online and essentially had 4 papers and two tests total. You are required to be self taught in this class but he provides the deadlines, study guides you need and answers any questions you have. Do the papers, do the reading and the tests are easy.
I took Logas in Summer2017. You Guys, if you need to take any government class. TAKE HIM! his class is super easy. he talks about recent news for half of the class and then he points out important information that is going to be on the test. you can fill out the study guide as he is lecturing. He has an assignment where you have to go to court! FUN
Professor Logas is really great at what he does. He is so into what he teaches and it kinda rubs off on you. A lot of the study guide information is exactly the same stuff on the test. Most answers come from his lectures to, so pay attention. The court papers help a lot with grades since it is just that and the 3 tests. This man is WOKE.
All there is a midterm and final (all answers in book) and then two "our world discussions" and you had to go to a city council meeting and traffic court which was pretty easy and he gave me 100s on both papers. Easy grader, easy class.
I took this professor online. The way I get easy A in this class without reading the book is doing assignments that he provides. You have 2 written assignments and 2 reports about real life political observant. Overall he's not a tough grader. Before taking Midterm and Final, carefully prepare his study guide in Discussion. That's all.
Professor Logas is one of the best instructors I've ever had. I'm not sure how one can comment on a professor after dropping out after one day, that seems a bit silly to me. But regardless, Logas' class is great. He's very bipartisan in nature although he tends to lean to the right. That being said if you don't have tough skin, don't take his class
I love this professor , he can be though talking about some topics but you will learn a lot , dont skip class and study guides are everything you need to know , easy tests and funniest professor I ever had.
IF VISITING A COURTHOUSE &GOING TO CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS ISNT SOMETHING YOU'RE INTERESTED IN, DONT TAKE HIS CLASS! I found out when it was too late that he requires two visits and was forced to stay. But honestly, the visits aren't bad, they're easy, and he only assigns 2 other papers beside those visits, the midterm & the final. so its an easy A.
I have taken Mr. Logas for his U.S. Government class and his State and Local Government class. Lecture heavy, but relevant to the material and what is going on in the world. He is brutally honest and that might offend some of you. Definitely need to read the book!!! As long as you pay attention you'll pass. Best teacher I've had at Valencia
I love his lectures I always look forward to them. He will make you work a bit for your grade but it is really easy to achieve the grade you want. Overall: 2 quizzes (take home) 3 Exams, 1 Final, 4 Our world topics and a Unit 3 study guide document. YOU SHOULD DO HIS STUDY GUIDES it is basically the same thing as the test.
I love this class, His lectures are the best! His grading scale is a bit higher than others, but an A is manageable to get. all you need to do is his work and his study guides. I also recommend reading the chapters. I didn't and I received C's on his first 2 tests. My first time ding full time so I'm having a bit of trouble managing all 4 classes.
All his expectations of you are laid out on your first day, he's an amazing teacher with lectures that apply what you read in the book in the real world. Personally, I have a difficult time learning things about government, but the way he teaches is so interesting, government becomes fun. But you need to be willing to put in a little effort.
This professor is AMAZING for online classes. There were 6 assignments TOTAL: 2 easy discussion boards, 2 out of class observations, & 2 tests (midterm & final). Everything was evenly spread out but be sure to turn everything in on time. I LOVED the observations even though you had to go downtown. Easy grader, gives extra credit. TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!
I love professor Logas, he is hands down one of the best professors. His class is great, professor logas is very knowledgeable on what he is talking about. He is very respectful and engaged with his students. He prepares you very well for assignments and tests. Take his class, you will enjoy learning from professor Logas.
Professor Logas is probably the most amazing professor I have ever had. He gives you both sides of the story, real world examples and he allows you to do your own research and form your own opinions. His class requires a lot of reading but if you use the study guides and pay attention, youll be just fine. Go to the Veterans Day Celebration!!
Prof. Logas can come off a bit dry through his emails but you can tell he wants you to succeed. Very few assignments the entire semester. Grade based heavily on exams and projects so put in the work. You have to attend court and a counsel meeting so if thats an issue stay away. Otherwise this class was great this semester.
One of the best professors I've had. He is very understanding. He participates in the discussion boards. He responds to everyone's questions and posts announcements frequently to make sure everyone understands. Fair warning: this class will take you out of your comfort zone by making you attend 2 government functions.
Hes hands down my favorite professor. Hes extremely funny and youll learn a lot. AMAZING LECTURES! Read the textbook or you wont pass
Required to specifically attend 1) a daytime city council meeting & 2) traffic school - in person with proof - big part of your grade. Beware: if you're working FT and / or have kids, bad fit. & he's Inflexible. Not a great online class to take if your schedule does not allow for his requirements.
professor logas is super funny and keeps his lectures interesting by providing current events while showing you both sides of the story. doing the study guides will help you out on his tests and to pass the class you honestly just have to pay attention and put in some effort. hes a pretty intense guy but doesn't want to fail anyone.
I took Professors Logas Online POS 2112 class. The class was fairly easy, however he makes you work for your grade. FYI he makes you do two outside class observations, one at the courthouse and a city or county commission meeting. The papers are fairly easy and he gives you an outline to follow. As long as you follow the outline given you will pass
One of the best professors I ever had. He makes you laugh every single lecture. He is kind, professional. Show up to every class and don't be late. He will take care of you if you need help. 100% recommend to take
Professor Logas is very funny and honest, however he tends to often get out of topic and not really go over the chapters on the book. If you want to be able to pass this class you must read the textbook. He makes sure you do research when it comes to his assignments so be prepared, no homework at all, two online quizzes and 3 exams plus final.
If you're taking this class online, you really need to participate in the discussion boards to get maximum points. He's really smart and knowledgable and responds promptly. Tough class, but I feel like I learned a lot.
This man Logas is the best professor out there. I'm slow in education and this man is kinda but not really tough. Trust me if I can do it you can do it. Just study 3 days before all your exams and MEMORIZE ALL the ket concepts in the study guides. Study guides will save you. This old man is so funny too when he talks. Get ready to laugh every day.
I took this professor online and I loved this class. You do two observations that are done outside of class which can be difficult for those who have busy lives. Easy A if you participate in the discussions and do your work.
Only a few assignments, but you will need to sit in for a traffic court and a local community meeting. It is very clear on the guidelines. Also, gives study guides for midterm and final. Great guy.
Professor Logas is a good professor. There were only 4 assignments plus a midterm and final. You have to attend two local government observation which weren't difficult and are actually fun! However, I am not fond of his grading scale. in order to get an A in the class you need a 92 or higher. Make sure to do the discussion boards for full points.
I love his teaching style, it's very funny and dynamic. Highly recommended!
Class is good, make sure you are thorough with your work.
This class will improve your awareness of media when it comes to political bias and trustworthiness. However, Professor Logas is a very right-wing person. His classes are lecture-heavy and feel like conservative talk radio. While Professor Logas grades without bias, his lectures can feel very biased and jarring.
There are a total of 4 assignments, a final and midterm. You will have plenty of time for the 4 assignments (He is not a tough grader if you follow instructions). Please do the discussion board for the midterm and final exams, the points will help your grade (I SUGGEST TO FILL OUT ALL THE QUESTIONS AND STUDY THEM). To get an A you need a 92.
I took his RTV class (real-time virtual) and it was very enjoyable. He's very pleasant and gives good feedback on assignments and tests. There are 3 tests and a final exam. Also a couple of writing assignments you have to do but they are pretty easy. I do recommend that you go over the study guides and read the textbook. It helps! Def recommend!
He makes you work really hard for you're grade. He doesn't explain things thoroughly and he just asks you to read the syllabus to figure out the answer. Only take him if it's your LAST option.
Clear grading criteria, fun and engaging lectures. Participating in class and optional discussions will earn you extra credit. Shoe up on time to zoom lectures. Study guides provide key words only but definitions are extremely easy to find in the textbook. Tests not proctored/mutiple-choice, some short answer questions & extra credit questions.
This teachers outline to his class makes absolutely no sense. The way he formats the class looks simple but then he completely over complicates it by sending out a mass amount of announcements. His work in fairness has been simple so far but he overwhelms students with an abundance of information. Making his class super annoying to outline .
Professor Logas is the BEST professor I have EVER had! He gives the most entertaining lectures, and he teaches them so you actually learn and he challenges you to do your own research to form your view on things. Just show up to class (virtually), do the quizzes, and study the study guide and end of chapter questions and youll be good! A LEGEND!!!
zoom calls twice a week,test are not proctures, 4 exams study guides given but there are not fill in the blank there a list of topics you need to know, zoom call is a hour and 15 minutes long sometimes he talks more. 2 speeches that you must present about a chosen topic. over all i failed because i did not attend zoom calls or do well on speeches
Second time I've taken Prof. Logas class. There's only 6 assignments (including mid & final) but they are all very intense. Specifically the City & County government meetings which you must watch in full (upwards of 8+ hour vids) then write a report on. If you're alright with writing a lot I would recommend, I liked him both times I've been w/ him.
Awesome professor, super cool and down to earth. a few essay, but are easy and hes an easy grader, only thin is he makes you attend 2 city council meetings online that are 5 hours long and record your experience, other than that, it an easy A with little to no effort at all.
Your grade is literally based off like 10 stuff. So do GOOD on the assignments. He does this assignment its called "our world topic" basically a presentation to class with just a paragraph of each source.
Took Professor Logas in an RTV course. He is very quick at responding to correspondence and entering grades, and also provides study guides. Gives a lot of lectures which overwhelming consist of conservative talking points. Having said that, if you are liberal, he does not penalize your grades based on your political beliefs.
Do not take him for State and Local Government. He holds 0 lectures, but gives BOTH a midterm AND a final. He makes you read on your own and on top of this, he assigns two council member hearings, both longer than 4 hours. Do not take this professor, he is doing the bare minimum of work whilst his students do the most i've ever seen. Biggest regret
Professor Logas is probably my favorite teacher I have EVER HAD! I took his RTV course and I do not regret it for a second. There is a LOT of work in the first half of the course, but if you give your best effort he gives extra credit points. Everyone in America should take his class, because he tells the absolute truth about our country.
The Best professor! Take this class! You will learn so much There are only a few assignments and he gives you all of the material you will need. There are lots of opportunities for extra credit/bonuses. He is extremely knowledgeable and cares about his student. He teaches you to use critical thinking and do your own research. Participation matters.
Professor Logas was by far my favorite. There are about 10 assignments including exams. He provides study guides for exams and multiple attempts for quizzes. The our world assignments are only 2 minutes of presenting, so easy. He is very strict on attendance and being on time for class. It counts towards your grade. you learn so much in lecture!
Professor Logas was probably my favorite professor for the semester. His lectures were hilarious, and he was very passionate about the US Govt and the constitution, which is to be expected. There were 3 exams including the final exam, and about 2 actual homework assignments. Attendance is mandatory, and you must be on time. Otherwise, 10/10
Professor Logas was an absolutely amazing professor. His lectures give real life applications of what we learned. Professor Logas speaks truth and encourages you to think for yourself, consider both sides, and not to be persuaded by media. I highly recommend Professor Logas for any government class, he is doing amazing work at Valencia College.
Professor Logas is super nice and understanding for the most part. There's not a lot of assignments in this class but the ones that are assigned are very time consuming. There's five discussion boards, two government meeting observation and papers, a midterm and a final.
Professor Logas is great. There are only 2 exams & 4 assignments during the entire course. The assignments are extremely time consuming though but he sends at least 3 reminders per week about them so it is very difficult for you to forget about them. Provides extremely in depth and lengthy feedback but definitely helpful.
Passionate professor. Uses untenable sources in his presentations present an agenda. Portrays issues onesidedly against people of color and minorities. Does not teach the content. I wanted to walk out when he made front of a hispanic womans name. I ended up dropping the class.
A class of just four grades, in which 2 exams and 2 essays. If you get 80%, it's considered a C, not a B as usual. Homework does not exist in this class. It's literally learn yourself a whole book in a month and a half and get ready for really difficult exams.
Professor Logas is passionate and engaging, though can be politically biased. Assignments are time-consuming but graded fairly. unstuckstudy AI made studying a breeze. Overall, a worthwhile class.
I'm very left leaning while he is very right leaning, though I enjoyed his lectures very informative to understand the right wing more. My issue was when he presented the 8 point grading scale and attendance policy. If you leave the class for anything like the bathroom (unless you medical reasons like IBS) You cannot return back and just sign out
He is a well informed political scientist, but he is very distracted. Class is a waste of time but it is also mandatory. He just teaches you his political views but claims to not be biased. He just rambles on defending Donald Trump and doesn't teach in class. He has bad confirmation bias, but he will give good feedback. You can't use the bathroom.
This class is an easy A+. Well not really, let me explain. Sitting through his lectures is pure torture, he basically treats the class as a news broadcast. He claims to be a neutral person in politics but every class he slammed the democrats and did nothing but praise the republicans. His exams are all online ;).
Professor Logas is an absolute wealth of knowledge! He truly care about his students ability to put together educated opinions. He provides more information outside of our study guides and I learned more than I could have imagined from this course. His grading outline and expectation are clearly detailed. A little extra work goes a long way.
Amazing, Prof! You gave us only five assignments, so start early! But fair grader, immediate responses, and super friendly!
Professor Logas only has 5 assignments, be ready to put time and effort into this class because a grade lower than a 92 is a B, but if you put effort in, he will reward you with extra points on exams and projects as well and discussions. He grades very fairly and helps out a ton, but one of the assignments will be to watch a 4hour commision meeting
