Pretty easy class. If you read the book, attendance isn't mandatory - but if you come to class everyday you don't even need to think about the book. Tests are straight from lectures and bonus questions come from the lecture as well. Does a test review in class. If you fail this class, college isn't for you.

He discusses current events at the beginning of each class which opens oppurtunitites for discussion. He is super funny with a great sense of humor because he is not much older than us.

This is not an easy blow off class for online. His test questions you cant find on quizlet, you actually have to read the textbook. NO proctor U, but Im mad because I was hoping this would be easy. He has great reviews and means well, but just be prepared to actually work for your A. Id pick someone else honestly.

Professor Sehgal is the best professor you can ask for. I enjoyed the course so much. He made the class so much interesting. He recorded the class to make it easy for student to go back and listen to the lecture again. Just read your note from the lecture and you will get the easiest A. Hurry and sign up the class, his class fill up so quick.

I took his Maymester online class, so we basically had to read a chapter a day. You do have to really read, but it isn't too bad. I was three points from a perfect score in his class. As long as you follow the directions, you'll do fine. The exam questions were straight from the book. He is consistent with grading; would take again

My absolute favorite professor- I am taking him again for Texas Gov. He is very interesting to listen to, his assignments were easy, and there are only a few exams. You MUST listen to the lectures and take notes; all exams are open book, and they are not answers you can easily find on Google. There are only two 1 hour(ish) lectures a week.

Course is lecture heavy and requires comprehension of both lectures and assigned reading. Luckily Professor Sehgal has a unique way of making lectures interesting and engaging.

I've never regretted taking a class, but this time I did. The reason I took this professor was I read the reviews here. But my experience with him is the opposite. He just asked us to watch videos and read books, it was boring. When I submitted it, it took at least a month for him to grade it. If you are an A student, I do not recommend this class.
