Very knowledgable on int. relations. good teacher. all tests are short answer and essays so u can bs.

Excellent prof. knows his stuff inside and out. has taught all over the world. kinda scatter brained at times, but his tests are straight forward, just study the study guide and read and you'll get an "A"

Took as a summer B course last year. Pretty easy, although in summer you won't want to miss a lecture as the tests are very lecture-driven. Very knowledgeable professor; knows a lot about a lot of places.

Very knowledgable. Helpful and bright, has lived everywhere and draws on his experiences. Tests are straightforward and fair.

Only serious poly-sci students should take is INR courses. His lectures are quite detailed and one leaves the course feeling enlightend. I was a bit put off by his lecture style. Writing the lecture outline on the board was like being spoon fed.

His classes are definitely poli-sci intensive. He's very straight-forward in what he expects and is extremely knowledgable in his field. Try not to miss class though.

uses fun stories to help liven up classes, very easily gets off track. Not too difficult the class presentations are an easy way to get your grade up. Nice guy, always willing to help you outside of class. Books are not always necessary except the one you write your paper on

Dr Libby is a nice guy- enthusiastic about what he is teaching. Most of the last half of the term is on Australia (not a 3rd world country!) Easy to get a good grade- provides study guides for the test. Presentation is easy if you read up on it! I would take him again...

You don't have to read except certain terms, test is what he writes on board!He is disgusting when it comes to teaching.My God.The man pats idiots on the heads because he can feed them his b.s.and grades students he perceives as smart harder.in end you have no respect for him, but you get an A.

If you study, you should get an A. You just really have to study for about 2 days straight...

Fascinating subject matter; Libby's extremely knowledgeable, has traveled extensively. Try to overlook the roll-taking and reading outloud and you will learn a LOT. Also, excellent choice of textbooks, rather enjoyable reading. Tests are not hard, just study.. and a study guide is provided at least a week in advance, so no surprises there.

I was scared going in, but if you can get beyond the oddities that comprise Libby, you'll be fine. Libby Loves Facts. This should be your mantra. The class is challenging, but don't let it freak you out. Good texts. STUDY HARD and you'll do fine. seriously, he is not as bad as these people make him out to be.but be sure to go to class! lectures=A!

His class is easy if you go to class, pay attention, and speak up once or twice. His tests are just as easy if you also read or skim the books. He can be condescending during the lecture, but if you approach him after class, he's willing to hold a conversation. My only complaint? He would repeat parts of lectures, but change some facts.

Dr. Libby is a highly accomplished and very knowledgeable professor. He has written something like 6 books, worked in the Peace Corps, and has taught in Botswana, Australia as well as at Notre Dame and Northwestern University. Let's just say he brings a lot of personal experience to the table. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

good teaching ability. good usefull facts that are relavent to the class. you leave the course learning something

I Love Libby! It is the easiest B class ever. If you are okay with getting a B, then take it!

I have taken many of Libbys classes, he is an aquired taste, you either get him or not. He has always been helpfull to me, a real stickler on writing. classes are structured with outlines that are esentualy what he wants as answers to the essays on the exams. Come to class read the book, and write down anything he does.

Libby is a great professor. u have to read and pay attention in class but the lectures are extremely interesting. He is a smart man, ull leave having learned a lot if u try.

Libby was a very understanding teacher. After my grandmother passed away he allowed me to postpone my final until the very next semester. I abosolutly love him. You can't go wrong taking this class you will learn alot he is brilliant

Professor is ok. Very friendly but i found the class to be a bit boring. Some of the topics are interesting. I loved the last book we read. You MUST read all he assigns and MUST take notes in class or you will not pass on the exams. Only 2 exams and they are essay but you DO get a study guide 2 weeks before the exam.

Professor Libby was wonderful, and so intelligent. I will never forget the comment he made "the only place in the world where I did not feel alone was XXXXXX." He's great and very structured. No, he doesn't do a song and a dance, but you will leave his class and have learned something.

Professor Libby was the most good-natured teacher I ever had. He was really very kind and didn't belittle you, like some teachers have been known to do; yes, his lectures are repetitive, but they stuck(!) with me.

He isn't the most exciting professor, but he is smart and experienced. You will learn so much in his class. The books he picks are probably the best books I've ever had for a class. Make sure you go to class as half of the test is straight from his lectures.

I have taken two INRs with Libby and highly recommend him. He's one of UNF's best! Even if this stuff isn't your specialty he strives to engage students and it's hard not to like his witty, common sense style. Tests are essay format but he is a fair grader. Study guides are given too, and it would be wise to talk to him *before* the exams!

A B+ ? Are you kidding me? Because I don't agree with everything you say. The class was easy, but now I am going to get my Ph.D just to refute every argument and crush every theory he has ever had! P.S. Measheimer Chapter 4 is garbage! Good job giving A's to students that don't give a darn and know nothing. Classy

Good professor, just he repeats himself over, and over, and over, and over again.

very smart. Nice guy. He tells you what he thinks and lets YOU form your OWN OPINION. Just go to class take notes, and you will pass. Study groups are helpful. One book report, one 3 minute speech, midterm and final. EAAAAASSSYYY!!!!

I love him! He was really dry, well okay...extremely dry in lecture, but he knows what he is talking about! Just study the notes and read the books and you shound be fine.

He can be a bit dull at times, but he definetly tries to keep the class interesting. He is very knowledgeable about the material, and the class is not challenging if you just read the 2 assigned books. YOU HAVE TO TAKE NOTES IN CLASS!!! More than half the test is from his lectures.

Dr. Libby is very nice! His class isn't hard, but you HAVE to study and you HAVE to go to class and listen. You also should be interested in the subject. His tests aren't hard if you've studied :)

He outlines all of the lessons but he's so repetitive and goes on tangents writing random things all over the board. My notes go back and forth with arrows all over them. He challenges your view points but not to call you out, it's an INR class, he's encouraging you to debate and back up what you are saying ie. practice for the real world.

Professor Libby is a little eccentric but very knowledgeable. Class is note taking, current events, & a short oral presentation. Grades on grammar not just content! Relaxed atmosphere but he writes all the notes on the board instead of handouts. Will not answer email and doesn't use blackboard. Mid term and Final are blue book essay.

Nice guy. Pretty good teacher. Almost too knowledgable in the INR field for the student's good. Easy grading scale but a tough grader so a B is assured but an A is hard to achieve.

All I can say is "LEAVE LIBBY ALONE [sobbing]". The man simply gets a bad rap because people are intellectually intimidated by him. UNF is lucky to have him. As a freshman I was warned against taking him. I ignored the haters, greatly enjoyed the class, and easily earned a high A. 4 Libby classes later, same result. Do work and you will be fine.

Intelligent and eccentric professor. Take notes and pay attention. He's witty and cool and an awesome old man.

If you actually are willing to put in the time and the work this professor can really be rewarding. I walked having learned something from the materials provided more than the lecture, but the expertise of the professor in the field is evident. This professor has a realdesire to succeed, but at a level some students may not be prepared to perform.

Great Professor, a little distracted but teaches well. Very well read, and knows what he's talking about. Would definitely take him again!

Great professor. Dr. Libby gives you a study guide for the mid-term and Final. Definitely recommend his classes!

Prof. Libby is fantastic! I loved this class! However, I already had an understanding on the material before hand so I can see why he could be challenging otherwise. On the exams make sure to write concise and to the point and sit close in the front.. he does have terrible handwriting!

I really don't understand why people complain about him. He is straight to the point. He gives you a study guide that is the exact TEST! I wish I took more of his classes honestly.

He is a great teacher. Kind of boring and monotones but is very interested in this course. He tries to make it fun and gives breaks as needed. He was not hard but the exams are essay format. Just study and take his notes and you will do fine. Take him!!

This Professor does assign weekly writings, but that is all he assigns for homework. They are easy to complete and if you have any problems he is very understanding. His final is in essay format and if you observe the study guide (where all the exact questions are) passing with a high mark is not difficult. Would recommend to anyone!

EASY A! or B depending on how much you're interested in the subject. You can retake the quizzes twice (10-20 questions), 2 discussion posts, a few short essays and that's it. I really learned about the international system, you get plenty of time to complete the assignments. If you need an elective TAKE THIS CLASS NOW!!!

I was intimidated and hesitant to take his Terrorism Today class only because it was online but man I sure am glad I took it! The way Libby guided structured the class everything was very clear and I learned so much! I am now more open to take more online classes. He did an excellent job!

The textbook Professor Libby chose, in my opinion, did not explain things well and Professor Libby always wanted more details in our assignments than the textbook had. He was an easy grader though. Just know that there are very long chapters to read each week and often video lectures to watch as well. Don't procrastinate!

Highly recommended! I now know more about the issues than most politicians on this subject. Thanks Prof. Libby! There were 2 q's, 1 test, 6 discussion posts and a final paper. Final paper was minimum 3 page. LOTS of reading & research and great guidance from the prof. Make well-researched posts/essays and paper and you will do great.

HE CARES ABOUT STUDENTS. GREAT TEACHER, TAKE THIS CLASS. YOU'LL ENJOY IT, HE'LL HELP YOU. best teacher in UNF!!!!

Professor Libby's class was a lot of writing but I was totally okay with it since I want to go to law school, he challenged me every paper and helped me sharpen my writing skills, just make sure you watch the videos every week and do the readings and have well structured papers and you will do fine!
