Very informative and relevant. An excellent class!

Great Professor who care about the subject.

He is an OUTSTANDING teacher, he makes everything very easy, Tests are multiple choice, everything from your notes. He uses a slide show and u just copy down the info. he gives oportunities for extra credit. I highly recomend him... *** EASY A ***

Class attendance a MUST. Test questions come from notes, which are always multiple choice. DO EXTRA CREDIT, hopkins gives many extra credit assignments which really helps out. Hopkins uses power points so its easier to take notes, not too much excitement in this class but good professor.

Not very exciting class, but a great teacher. Powerpoint very helpful. Extra Credit great, tests easy is you just study. He is very awesome and very nice. Not a bad site for the eyes either.

He is extremely insightful. I'm not a huge fan of Government classes, but he did stimulate my brain and got me thinking during his lectures. Tests are straightforward, all multiple choice. Not too hard of a class if you do your reading.

honesty, i couldn't care less about politics. but this really got me thinking about how many other people don't care either. it's very interesting if you have the right teacher and hopkins is the right teacher. i even registered to vote!

Uses a very helpful PowerPoint presentation. I took as a summer class during election time. 40% of class was watching political commercials. Somewhat monotone, but an interesting teacher. He will gladly help if needed. Tests are very straightforward.

Very helpful. Extra credit was interesting and easy. Test were pretty easy if you studied. Great teacher!

His lectures can sometimes be very interesting and sometimes very boring! He reviews over what you need to know, read, and study for the tests. So study the material and you'll do fine. You only take 4 tests! He gives extra credit a few times so make sure you do it! I recommend him!

Good Prof. used the book, only four tests. I didn't study very much for the first two and got C's. The last 2 I studied for and got an A and a B. He is very liberal minded. Fair Prof, no pop quizzes, some extra credit.

Good professor. I only studied for the first test and I got an A in the course... although I wouldn't recommend you take him for an 8:00AM course like I did; as others have mentioned he can be a bit monotone and it was kind of hard to pay attention so early.

this guy is super easy as long as you come to class. Tells you what you need to read in the textbook so you don't have to read a bunch of crap you don't need to know. It's awesome, this guy seems anti-government and teaches a government class, can't get much better than that.

Kept class interesting. Very clear on study materials. No wasted reading.

Very interesting teacher. Hes very clear on what will be on a test

I like hopkins, it uses stuff that is happening today and applies it to class. I was not into govt b4 his class, now I can see it in a whole nother light...Great Job

If you are not a morning person do not take his early class, because he is a monotone lecturer. If you want an easy class this is the one though, only 5 tests and now homework.

I took his class in the summer and loved it. Even though we sat in his class for 5 hours a day he held my interest every second. He covers everything on the test and presented it in a very fun way. He knows his stuff and is a great teacher.

Wouldn't recommend taking this class in summer. It seemed as though there wasn't enough time to cover all the material. Student should spend extra time reading/studying on their own. I found the workbook attached with the new book bundle was extremely helpful and that he bases most of his lecture from it! Attending class is a must!!

He kind of reminds me of Rain Man (without the stutter) but he was cool. He related everything to things happening today which kept me interested. I've learned more in this class than any class I have taken in years.

Don't take this class in the summer. It goes by too fast, and there is not enough comprehension over certain topics. He does give you extra credit that could raise a letter grade on tests. Try to attend all his class. He gives hints what would be on test. I got an A. *Recommended*

Greatest political teacher I've ever met in my life. Very insightful and helpful. Before I took his class, I thought such kind of men, while they do exist, are nearly extinct. Given my choice, I would take his 16 weeks class, so I would have enjoyed more.

very professional, experienced,well-informed professor.He tried his best to help us to get a better grade.Certainly,if you donot help youself,there's nothing he can do about it. He pretty much told us what's going to be on the test. But this doesn't mean everyone can get an A, you have to memorize those stuff by yourself, and understand them.

Very knowledgable,have profound insights on political, social events. I like his phylosophies. Just like any other classes, you have to do what the prof. ask you to do, if you hear he says, you need know this, you need know that, you'd better make sure you've them in your minds before the tests.

Prof. Hopkins is very interesting and easy to understand. He definitely gets you thinking about things in ways you may not have before. The tests aren't too hard and he offers extra credit. Recommended.

Professor Hopkins is great. He speaks the truth about our government, and our society, no matter how unpopular it rests with the vast majority of conservative students.

this class was super easy! i fell asleep in his class and made an A! he really wants you guys to succeed and make a very good grade!! and i got to drop my last test..so our class was out of there a month early!!take him!

Very helpful Prof. Very clear lecture. Tell you exact what pages would be in the test, but comprehension is your part.

A really good professor. The only thing I wish is that he explains more about what's on the test.

Hopkins is a pretty cool guy. I could tell he was very liberal before the first week was over. I enjoy hearing his opinions on our government. His tests are pretty hard though. You do have to read the book. I wish he would have gave study guides out for the tests. Other than that, he is a pretty cool guy. You will enjoy his lectures.

Is an awesome professor! Lectures were engaging and very informative. I wish I would have taken his 16 week course insted of an intersession!

Very clear lecture. Extremely helpful. Extra points to help you to get what you deserve,I mean, bring your grade up a letter.

I enjoyed Prof Hopkins classes. I like his insight on American politics. You have to read the txtbook to do well in his class. He's not hard on the eyes... I have a major crush on him still... I took this class in the fall 08

He tells you what pages and sections to read so you don't have to read the entire chapter, and he also gives extra credit. The whole class was just 4 tests, no other assignments. Highly recommend him.

Nice guy....and very helpful but don't slack off and stop reading your book or you'll fail the tests because a lot of the content comes straight out of the book.

You have to read the book! Take notes from his slides also but most comes from book. You have 4 test, nothing else. But he does give easy extra credit after each test besides the last. I made a B.

Holy Crap, AWESOME! PROFESSOR! lol I cant say this enough. If you're a liberal, are opinionated and enjoy good debates, this is the class to take :D It should really be called "constitution class". You will need to read the book a couple of times lol but you will thoroughly enjoy the experience so TAKE THIS CLASS!

Good teacher..keeps you thinking! 8am I need someone to wake me up! haha

Hopkins is the man. I highly recommend his class. He cut alot of the B.S. out of the class, no quizes extra assignments or stuff like that. Just 4 tests, but the the tests are toug, so read the kook and also have an open mind!!!

Very good at keeping your attention and loves for students to comment regardless of their view on the subject.

HAd Mr. Hopkins for Gov class, he is a cool dude and if you study its a pretty easy A, he is awesome at keeping your attention and a fun Pro to have.

I learned a great deal in Hopkins class. I would definitely recomend him. He is easy but you still have to read the book and must attend classes. The lectures are important. Plus he gives extra credit that can raise your letter grade! Oh and he is a Major! Hottie! Take him!

Great Professor. He makes you think! I took his intersession class and loved it. As long as you attend class and study your notes it is an easy grade. He is fair and doesn't humilate you if he doesn't believe in your political view. Great class. Probably my favorite class of all time and I am a nursing student.

Federal Government is not a class I would consider to be one I was particularly interested in prior to taking this coure, but Mr. Hopkins is wonderful and made it one that I became interested in. He's very intelligent and I loved going to his office after class to discuss more in-depth about the material. He's also aged fairly well if I might add.

Awesome professor. Made me want to take more classes in Political Science.Is very fair and understanding.He tries to open your eyes to the other side, however if you don't agree he's never disrespectful. Very intelligent guy.Does keep your attention well.Enjoys showing local and current issues to prove a point so its relevant

He has a good way of keeping the class interested. I looked forward to every class period. Wish OCCC had more teachers like him.

I so loved every minute of this class! Prof Hopkins was absolutely AMAZING! I already had a huge interest in politics but was very opinionated & not entirely open-minded... This class & Prof Hopkins changed that. I made an A in the class but I took so much more from the class to use in my everyday life!!! Don't just take this class with any professor...hold out for Hopkins!!!

I would absolutely recommend Professor Hopkins, as he is awesome! He is very understanding, although he does expect you to attend class regularly. He makes Political Science interesting and I looked forward to attending his class. Not to mention he's very good looking for his age..or just in general. ;]

Fantastic teacher, fair.

I loved politics to begin with so this class was very interesting to me. However, if you do not agree with his Libertarian views you might not like this class. Most of the time he just reads out of the book or shows many clips on the web, which is not on the test at all. Basically, you just sit in class to listen to him ramble... or bore you.

was a great teacher, you only take 4 tests and their about a month inbetween. he was very funny, and i liked his class.. tests are some what easy if you study..

he is the best teacher if u want to take political science i like him very efficient

he is the best teacher if u want to take political science i like him very efficient

If you are interested in the way government works, he is the guy who will teach you how exactly it works. I learned a lot in his class. His tests mild easy if you study but he does give extra credit to help you out. I really enjoyed his class.

I really enjoyed this class. Prof. Hopkins is extremely knowledgeable about government and how it works. He shows alot of internet video clips, articles, etc. He doesn't use the text alot in class but you definitely need it for the tests. Tests are fairly easy if you study. I am alot more interested in government after taking this class.

Great Teacher! He made government interesting.I would highly recommend taking him. As long as you read the book and take notes you will do just fine.

this class was awesome! i thought this class was going to be boring but he kept it interesting since day 1! u will need your book! pay attention,study what he talks about, and reas the WHOLE chapter and u will do good! great professor!

I struggled in his class b/c he talks about politics but not about what you are learning or need to know directly. You HAVE to read your book. He will give you the pages you need to focus more on. I'm not a read on my own type learner. I need things explained but if you can learn with reading alone he is good for you then. The grades are off 4 test

Instead of griping about how hard his class is, let me tell you how to do well. Each of the four tests covers two or three chapters in the book. Everything in the test is out of the book, and if you are familiar with the book you can do OK. If you want to do GREAT, you have to buckle down and study the book.

His lectures are detailed, but you still have to read the book to make decent grades on the tests. He is more than happy to help you after class if you need it, and he also gives out extra credit. There's really no reason you would fail the class unless you refuse to do what you're supposed to do i.e. read and listen. He's funny and cynical.

This guy rocks! I have absolutely no interest in politics but he made his lectures very interesting and opened my eyes to a lot of things going on in our country. No homework but your final grade comes from four test grades so you MUST read your book! He tells you what sections will be on the test so show up to class and you will be fine!

I took his class over the summer. Interesting professor, but 2.5 hours is a LONG class. All four tests came from the book, so as long as you read the assigned chapters, you're good. If you know how to study a text, it's an easy A. If I were a PoliSci major, I would want to have learned more. But for me, it was fine.

Hopkins is interesting to listen to and will answer any questions you have and loves to engage into conversation over hot topics. If you want to pass this class then you definitely need to READ the book. If you do that the class is really easy.

He is a great teacher, I learned a lot. I would recommend him to anyone! He is always very understanding, he cracks me up during class, and he always keeps the topics interesting instead of dull and boring. You have to read the book though, and do good on the tests 4 test grades is all. But he is amazing, and if your dedicated you will do well.

Hopkins is a great professor! I liked going to his class because it was always interesting. Listening to the debates in class was also very interesting. You have to do some reading, which is pretty easy. Do good on the exams and you'll do good in the class.

3 tests + 1 paper, will drop the lowest so make sure 270 if you want an A. Attendance doesn't count. Multiple-choice test with 25 questions + 2 short answers. Don't be afraid of the 2 questions at the end!

great class, and even better proffesor, he is very helpfull, his class was very interesting. He will challenge you and make you think. i would take it again.

Mr. Hopkins was one of the best professors throughout my entire college career. He is wonderful at what he does and really wants you to succeed. Talk to him! If you need help, he can explain the material. He is full of information and will challenge you. Take him!

Very funny guy.. He knows alot and he had only 4 exams gave some extra credit. Do not be disrespectful and not among homas he is teaching you will see his mean side but other than that he is great!

This was the best teacher I have ever had. He was helpful and made class enjoyable. Sometimes I consider RETAKING Government just so I can be in his class. He has an awesome sense of humor! It is safe to say I am obsessed.

SUPER AWESOME PROFESSOR, AND SUPER HOT!! I have never been interested in government, I learned a lot from his class, tests are right out of the book, as long as you read your text you will be fine. 4 exams, extra credit work thats it,, and he's pretty nice to look at also!!

You have to read the book in order to pass this class.

He made Government Interesting!!! By far my favorite professor! He is extremely funny and informative. He can sound rude sometimes. You have to read your book to pass this course. Test are easy if you read your book. I would take his class again if I could.

Took online government class. Required a LOT of reading. 1 essay (only 2-3 paragraphs long) and 1 quiz (20 multiple choice) every 2 weeks. Quizzes were open book but timed (30 mins) and asked VERY detailed questions. Essays were graded leniently. If you have good reading comprehension, you're good to go. He responds to emails. Nice class.

His online class was the easiest class I've ever taken in my entire college experience. Almost a joke, it was so easy. 8 "essays" (2-3 paragraphs) & 8 quizzes. He even lets you drop your lowest of each. I can't imagine someone not getting an A in this class. I literally spent 30min/wk on this class and got a 98%. Awesome!

Thoroughly enjoyed this professor. Got me interested in political science. Often tied books terms to current events. 4 tests, that's it. Read the book! Take notes! Listen and learn from him and you should do fine.

Professor Hopkins class is one of the best classes I've had at OCCC. If you read your textbook you will pass his class. His lectures are interesting. He definitely knows his stuff. He is willing to help you in any way he can if you're struggling. I would definitely recommend this class for anyone who is interested in learning a lot about Government

By far the best instructor I've had at OCCC. I had no interest in politics but he really changed my opinion on that. He keeps it very interesting and definitely knows his stuff. I thoroughly enjoyed his class and wish I would have taken it in a 16 week class rather than an intersession. Definitely recommend!!

One of the absolute finest teachers at OCCC! Professor Hopkins is an absolutely impeccable lecturer. He had the utmost attention from every single student in the class, every single night without fail. Read your text in order to be prepared. His lectures will WOW you. Guaranteed to be the best experience you will have at OCCC! Loved him!

Would highly recommend

Prof. Hopkins, is probably a really good professor to some people. For me, not so much. You have to read the book, but should probably have phtographic memory as most of the questions on the test are direct quotes. His lectures are good, if you like talkling about trends in the news for most of the class. I was really disapointed.

Tests are straight from the book, if you don't read it and study it, you won't pass the tests. Extra Credit was given and it's EASY points. Take advantage. 1 Essay was required for Intercession, only 2-3 pages. Lectures are great! He gives examples from the book and talks about current issues. He gives a study guide during lectures, utilize it.

Test are straight from the book. If you do not read the material you will not pass. He offers extra credit. Was overall an easy class, just make sure you read.

Good professor. Super funny. Made politics interesting. ZERO homework! Had two surprise extra credit assignments if you needed to bump your grade up. Half the stuff he covers in class is not on the tests. So you will not pass if you don't do the reading.

His online class of American Federal Government is a breeze. You write one reflection essay a week and take one twenty question test a week. Most of the reflections are opinionated questions and are easy to answer. There might be a small communication issue with him, but over all a super easy class.

Easiest class I have ever taken. Online so open book tests.

He goes over great topics, but not all the time about the course material. 12 reflections, 12 quizzes and 3 exams. If you do the work you can make an easy A.

Great lectures, Great attitude, overall a good experience. Grading criteria is straight forward. His lectures are current, and I like that he uses real-world examples to some of the things in the textbook. He is really funny and informative.
