Mr. Doas was definitely my favorite professor this semester. His class is fun to be in and his stories make it very entertaining. There's no need for a book because Mr. Doas provides PowerPoints which you can print out and use for and during Quizzes. His test are all multiple choice and his reviews are very helpful. Definitely recommend this class

1. He's loud. 2. Do the exam puzzles, you will ace the tests. 3. He does not go by the syllabus. 4. He drops 4 of the 12 quizzes. 5. You will have a 30 second warning for quizzes 6. Print out the PowerPoint slides. 7. He likes to use abortion as a political example for everything. 8. He does not stay neutral regarding is political ideology.

He is loud. Tells a lot of stories some relevant some not. Goes off on rabbit trails on occasion. He teaches off PowerPoint, but has them online. If you study the crosswords you will easily pass the class. Be prepared for a lot of pop quizzes.

Feels at ease in the class and you can tell he loves his job. Provides examples that make it easy to understand.

Very involved and loves his job . To get an A simply do the crossword puzzles before exams, show up for quizzes (12 but drops 4) and participate with discussions (he gives a bonus 50 pts at end). He was by far my favorite teacher this semester.

Easy, gives good examples, he appears to be on the fence about anything political but he does that because he is thinks there is no wrong. do puzzles and print out slide shows he gives you. open note quizzes. only bad thing is accent, but after a week or two you start to understand I'm easier.

He knows what you should do in order to get an A in a government class. He's funny, flexible test date and very very nice! I love him!

Although this class was definitely an Easy A, I would recommend taking another teacher for Federal Government unless you like teachers who get off track and relate their stories at the last second. That being said, he was funny and involved students into the lectures by asking questions whenever possible. Study hard, work hard, and you will pass.

Provides puzzles, powerpoints, and everything you need to earn a high grade. Awesome! Wants you to succeed.

You don't need a textbook, just pay attention in class and print your powerpoints and add some side notes. Test are very easy if you study the crossword puzzles he provides and pay attention in class. He grades you on participation so DON'T be quiet the whole semester, just make sure he knows your name. Hate gov but he made it fun with his stories

Mr. Doas is funny and loves to talk about his bunnies, Pennsylvania, and the Olive Garden. He will joke around with the class and I enjoyed every class, even though Government can be quite boring at times. He does give quizzes, but you can use the notes he provides online and he drops the 4 lowest grades at the end.

Took Professor Doas for Summer II Federal Government. 6 exams total, 5 chapter exams plus the final exam. 2- 5 page papers due this semester too, only allows provided material and textbook as sources. There are assignments for zero grade credit but count toward attendance. Easy course, just do the work- you'll be fine.

Write two essays minimum 5 pages. Provides web text to read. Exams are tough!!

Great professor. He loves relating his lectures to his personal life and always manages to make most of his lectures humorous and fun. He gives pop quizzes which are easy if you pay attention in class and take notes. The exams are easy as well as long as you do the crossword puzzles. Would definitely recommend.

Great lectures and question sessions. Very clear. Just follow the directions. Study his puzzles and you can pass with an A or B. Let me take final early because of schedule conflict.

During his lectures he would tell stories then try to connect them to the material at the very end. I spent hours studying his puzzles and the power points in order to do well on his tests. The crossword puzzles help A LOT, but won't guarantee an A. There are 12 pop quizzes, he drops the 4 lowest which really helped my grade in the end.

Great professor!!!A+! I'm not interested in government and politics at all but he made every class very interesting, he gives examples that relate to real life which makes everything easy to understand. He jokes around and answers every questions that a student has. Very clear. His PPT is a great help!

If you like learning by lectures and powerpoints then he's your guy. If not then no. I had a hard time because the only things you did in class was take quizzes and take notes from his powerpoint presentations. We took 4 major tests that you have to hard study for if you keep the crossword puzzles he gives you they will help. He gives no extra cred

Gives you puzzles to study for exams. Almost all test questions are the puzzles. When he told the class this at start of year, didn't believe him and didn't study puzzle for first exam. Learned the hard way how important puzzles are. Just study puzzles and show up to class.

He is a great teacher! There is an attendance essay at the beginning which is easy. There are 4 exams, the final, and 2 five page essays. The essays were more of a participation grade it seemed. The tests are super easy if you do the review, most of the review questions were on the test and you get the answers after. All exams are uploaded at start

doesn't require a textbook. He says "in other words" a lot. He gives puzzles to study for the online test which gives you almost all the questions. Lectures are engaging and gives many real life comparisons. Gives one or two pop quizzes often and they're hard if you don't have the printed PowerPoint notes. You can use your notes on the quiz.

Took the blended Tues/Thurs class. We only met in class on tues. on Thursday he took attendance by seeing if you opened a video up and that's it. You didn't actually have to watch. You could watch the video the night before too. Gives "two" essays. One is the pre essay and one is the post essay. He's a pretty easy grader.

Took his online class. Has everything open from the start of the semester. Exams and essays shut down during specific times in the semester. Does not accept late work, but since everything is open on the first day everyone has weeks if not months to turn it the work. Very fair grader with essays. Exams are tough and have to work for grade.

Professor Doas loves his job. Besides teaching about the subject he will give you insightful information and make the class fun. Yes there will be pop quizzes, but you can use your notes. I would take him again.

Provides everything you need to succeed. Lectures tied to real life examples. He really enjoys teaching.

Covers the material very thoroughly. You have to put the effort to get the high grade. He teaches like a college class should be.

He is willing to work around schedule. No book needed. Lectures on BB so are puzzles/reviews for the test. 3 tests (50 ques. 45 MC, 5 fill in blank) plus final (55, 50 MC, 5 fill in). 12 pop quizzes and drops 4, can use notes on them. He tells stories, "yells" but he's Greek. Participation/attendance is 50 points. If needed, would take again.

Four exams, participation, and 12 quizzes count towards grade. Drops four quizzes and lets you use notes on quizzes. Almost every test question is found on the PowerPoints he provides the class. Very fair teacher.

Very interesting for a government class. You couldn't sleep through it if you tried. He's so loud. (Lol)

Submit everything on time and you will get credit. Opens everything on first day of semester but does have due dates. Complete the review exams, rad the chapters, and you will pass the exams. You work for your grade and learn at same time.

Just finished summer 2 online class. Opens everything on start of semester and you complete work at your pwn pace as long as its within the due date. Grades fairly on essays. Complete review exams since most questions on exams come from review exams. Put the time and possible to earn the A.

I highly recommend him. During the summer I took Government 2306 and it was an easy A. Do the reviews and most of those questions are on the test, he is an easy essay grader as long as you try even though the essays are longer. He has a clear grading criteria and everything is opened on the first day so you can work ahead. Awesome teacher!

Complete puzzles and you will get A. all i did was complete puzzle and studied it a little. allmost every question on test came from puzzle.

Took him for online class this fall. Grades fair with essays, but are long essays. Do the review exams and can earn good grades on exams. Fair grader and clear requirements for his online class.

Study the study guides and you will do well!! Provides notes online to follow and lectures. Makes learning about government relaxing.

Gives four exams and 12 quizzes. Quizzes are open notes and he gives you powerpoints to use. Gives puzzles for each exam that have 40 questions and they are the 40 questions used on his exams that have 50 questions. Just study the puzzle for each exam and you can get at least a B for each exam.

Study the handouts and can earn a good grade. Puzzles are a must.

His classes are easy, do the crossword puzzles and pass the test. He is very loud so you won't fall asleep. Would definitely recommend him to anyone

Class was good. It consists of 5 tests and a final exam. Do the practice tests and you will do fine. Tests are hard though, so be prepared!

makes lectures fun and interesting and made me appreciate texas govt!

Took during the summer - great teacher and I had other family members take him - loves his bunnies.

He goes over the material very good. Go to class and learn the material in the study guide and you will pass. Really loves his job

I took him for a 8 week blended class. Provided everything needed and was very fair and helpful when needed.

I would take this instructor again. Gives many opportunities for extra credit. Very clear on what is expected in class. Normal amount of reading required but uses online textbook.

Show up to class, study the puzzles and powerpoints, review his youtube lectures, pass the class. Gives everything you need.

This teacher is able to make a boring subject interesting! Has a good sense of humor. Took for Maymester. We had 1-2 quizzes daily-can use notes and technology so TAKE power points to class!!! Don't be tardy! DO CROSSWORDS-has test ?s. 4 tests. LISTEN to lectures!!! Test were online and tough but doable. Will NOT round up final grade if 89. 5 .

Hes pretty funny! Makes his lectures pretty entertaining by personal experiences as examples! great professor i would totally recommend him! Made the class worth the drive! He's Greek and loves tiramisu something to know about the professor. VERY loud speaker sounds mean but he isn't. i believe what helped me the most were his youtube presentations

I took him for maymester great prof. He was awesome would recommend

While there are several tests and you will have to read your textbook (he provides a free PDF for you) He was, overall, a great professor. He had very specific grading criteria and he gives you all of the due dates ahead of time. Prof. Doas also gives you great feedback and you can tell he wants you to do well.

I had Mr. Doas for two classes, both of them online. In both classes he was always quick to respond to questions by email and encouraging as well. I would recommend Mr Doas for any class he may teach.

Mr. Doas gives you everything you need to earn a good grade. make sure you bring notes for quizzes.

Mr. Doas is very clear with requirements. Have powerpoints with you and follow along in class. No surprises and very good lectures that help you to understand.

Gives you everything you need. Provides extra credit exams that help very much. Exams, essays, discussion topics. He does not create busy work for the sake of just creating work. Not difficult to earn an A.

if you want to pass study for the exams and show up to class

I took Peter Doas for both Government required courses. He is a good professor, and very knowledgeable in the field. I did not like how misleading some quizzes and test were. However, compared to other professors, Peter does not show bias on politics. Its awesome. Unlike some government professors on campus who push liberal agendas and bash POTUS.

I took Professor Doas blended course over the Fall and liked it. There were quizzes or modules due every week to test comprehension and pop quizzes every Monday. The course was pretty easy and Professor Doas has fun ways of making sure you understand the material.

Doas is hilarious. Always finds a way to connect lecture to everyday life. Your learning without even realizing it.

Show up to class so you do not miss quizzes. Pay attention and do puzzles and earn a good grade.

Provides you with a free e-book. Created exercises in e-book for points and uses proctorio for exams. Do not fall behind. A lot of work, but can earn A with effort.

I took his Blended federal gov class. Overall good professor if you listen, and you take a quiz after every lecture. They're not hard if you pay attention. All notes are online, and quizzes come from the notes, and you can use your notes on quizzes. Easy A. You do use a textbook and take online quizzes over the chapters but just once a week.

Even though this class was my only B for the semester, I still highly recommend Professor Doas. He does not give extra credit, but his quizzes are open notes and exam material is based off of the puzzles he provides. I you fail this class, it is because you did not take advantage of all the resources he provides you with.

Mr. Doas gives everything needed to pass. Powerpoints, puzzles, video lectures are all given. Quizzes are open notes and exams are online but complete the puzzle to earn a good grade.

Took this class as a wintermester and it was very easy! If you read the book, complete the assignments, and take the tests on time, its a walk in the park. 4 exams, 1 final, and 1 essay in 3 weeks, so I spent about 1-2 hours per day on this class. There are review exams for extra credit and questions from the review will show up on the test. solid!

Dude will make you passionate about government and he's perfect to take in the morning because he's so loud you won't be able to fall asleep. There's few, if any classes that I've learned more from than in his class.

I really liked Mr. Doas' class but, He made it way harder than it needs to be. I am not a great tester so, you can imagine how it felt to have 5 minutes to take a pop quiz. His lectures take the whole class, and he barely gives you any time to take a quiz. They are open note but do not come from the notes at all. He's a great guy but a hard grader.

Mr. Doas gives you everything you need. He gives you powerpoints, video lectures, notes, puzzles. He has pop quizzes and you can use your notes. He is funny and he connects real life situations and ties them to government.

This professors class was very organized. I took this class for Maymester and passed with an 86. the assignments were rigorous as far as a lot to read but as long as you keep up with the assignment due dates you'll be fine. course was easy in my opinion to be a Maymester class. class was totally online. he's a fair grader also.

Professor Doas is clear with the work. Opens everything on first day and with clear instructions. Lots of different types of assignments but not hard to complete, just don't fall behind. He responds fast to your emails and has solutions to your questions.

Very organized, grades are automatic, all assignments through online REVEL program. Chapter assignments include assigned reading and 20-25 questions. Video quizzes are short videos with question worth 9 points. 4 discussion topics which are graded leniently if instructions are followed. 4 50 multiple choice and one 80 multiple choice question tests

Professor Doas was great and it was lot of working to do with online homework, quizzes, extra credit with each exam one through four, and his test was not easy, but some of them were from extra credit with exam review but you must read ebook.

Mr. Doas has a very organized class. Lots of work and many different types of assignments. Opens everything on the first day to start completing work but does have due dates. You get what you put in.

Doas opens everything at start of semester. Work is not hard, just needs to be completed.

Mr. Doas knows how to connect the material to our daily lives. He will be talking about something in government and relate to what is happening in our lives to make it easy to understand. He enjoys being in class.

Mr. Doas makes the class interesting. His lectures connect to daily lives and makes you understand the material. Everything is online and he gives lots of time to complete the work. Early morning class, but really enjoyed it.

Pretty easy class. Few assignments every week that don't take very long to do. The only hard things were the tests, but you get to use your textbook/notes.

Makes the course easy and entertaining. Engages the whole class and compares the class problems to everyday real life problems to make us understand what the course is about

He has many different assignments which makes it interesting. Great examples to make it easy to understand.

Mr. Doas gives great lectures. He provides examples of things going on to make the material easier to understand. I had him early in the morning and he made my day.

He opened everything on the first day of the semester and it shuts down as the semester moves on. I completed almost everything in the first two months. He drops two lowest grades of every assignment if you have some low grades in the assignments.

Idk why rating is low I took the blended lecture class. assignments had 3-5 questions each under 3 minute timer, easy assignments, 3 exams final optional. crossword puzzles for all exams which you can use on exam. Lectures useless just use crosswords&quizlet. Only negative he talks loud & has humor some may find annoying. No group work/ice breaker

He was a great professor it was an early morning class but it was easy to pay attention because he told good jokes and kept us engaged.

I took two courses from Doas a few years ago. He was by far, one of the best teachers I've ever had and I enjoyed his classes SO much. I wish I could take him for more classes. He is insightful while adding humor. I learned so much more through his stories that would perfectly tie into the subject matter, than I would have otherwise. Much respect

Lectures were always fun and engaging, especially for a morning class. Only 4 exams and video quizzes outside of class and data quizzes in class. The crosswords and power points he provides will help you do well on the exams. Only concern I had was he only went over a small portion of the power points in class. Don't get behind and you'll do well.

If you take a morning class beware because he is very loud.We had at least 1 test every class so don't miss a class.He does drop the two lowest grades of every assignment but he's not flexible on due dates.Take as many notes ON PAPER as you can because his tests are long and do not forget to do the reviews ON PAPER to use on the tests.Great Teacher

He is very sweet. I took his online class so the deadlines were a bit stricter, but also not bad at all. Gives enough time between assignments and one text every month. Does give detailed responses on what you are doing wrong and answers emails at a timely manner. Exams are proctored is online, but they are not hard, you just have to read the book.

Professor Doas is a very interactive and humorous within his in-person lectures. But for this reason I would not recommend taking this class ONLY online, to be frank the online lectures are very boring. I also highly recommend printing out the lecture notes or writing very thorough notes as these can be used when taking the exam.

Professor Doas keeps the early morning class engaging with his jokes and real-world examples. Assignments are manageable, and unstuckstudy proved a helpful study tool alongside the crosswords he provides.

Doas has very clear assignment outline and grading policy. He is simple, straight forward and communicated well with the class. Tests, quizzes, exams and class discussions were easy, all you have to do is participate for an easy grade.

I loved taking professer Doas government class, it was a blended course so i only saw hime once a week. His lectures keep you engaged as he is quite hilarious. Attendance is necessary but if you show up every day and take lots of notes as well as do the crosswords its an easy A. You will need to take notes outside of class for a most of the slides.

Professor Doas set out his expectations and opened all the assignments right away. There were ZERO surprises so it was really helpful to stay on track. The exams are easy, but they are proctored by respondus lockdown browser. Very structured and fantastic!!!

Extremely well organized and structured in this course; information is easily retained as long as the work and readings are completed. Additional help such as video lectures, timely emails, and reminders are provided by the professor. Finishing up the 5-week summer course, the workload was relatively easy compared to held expectations.

I've taken Professor Doas both online and in person for government 2305 and 2306. He's a great professor as long as you turn your work on time he doesn't accept late work at all so stay on top of deadlines. he's actually very kind and genuinely cares about his students. My advice to succeed in this class is to do the exam reviews you'll 100% pass

Professor Doas was truly a grand teacher. As my first time taking a summer course, I found I learned a lot, despite preconceived notions about the class, all due to Professor Doas' well organized, informative syllabus and clear grading criteria. He even lets you use notes during the exams, which was rather helpful. Great class, would take again.
