Fairly hard teacher, but if you do your work and listen to her you will get good grades. Most of the people taking this class are total slackers who rarely if ever come.

Her advanced classes take a lot of work, but are worth it and if you pay attention and follow along with the readings, she'll have no problem helping with papers and tests.

My favorite professor after one year at OSU. Yes, the class is hard if you don't do the reading or study but it wasn't as bad as some are making it out to be. She always encouraged debates and made the lectures interesting by keeping things modern

Very intelligent, dedicated, and cheerful. Will not suffer fools or slackers. The coursework is difficult, but a reasonably studious student can deal with it. Expects her students to be intelligent as well.

Dont take the 201 unless you are totaly intrested in Poli Sci cause it is a intensive class, lots of reading. There is easier ways to fill that bac core with out the hard labor.

Great prof. as long as you try. I've had three classes with her. First two required but I choose Civ. Libs. because she was awesome. Sometimes the concepts are hard to understand, but that's not her, that's the material. Her love of the subject shows and she knows her stuff!

Isnt going to be the easiest prof that you will have but she will be the best. You have to do the reading, so dont take this class if you are looking for an easy A or arent willing to do the reading because you will, choke. She will call on you in call and beware if you are not prepared. But you will learn alot because she knows her stuff.

One of the best professors ever. Great humor. Do the readings and come to class and you will learn so much. She is also very helpfull if you have any questions.

Fun lectures and great personality. Read text often and you'll be fine.

Not too hard if you know anything about US politics (i.e. the differences between Republicans and Democrats; the 3 branches of government), but you should really read the book. The lecture doesn't add much info, and she knows it, so she offers reasons for going, like pop quizzes, and sometimes tells you to study something specific for the test.

The class isn't too hard if you keep up with your reading, especially for the quizzes. There are no reviews for midterms, but her tests aren't too hard as long as you know the material. She has a pet peeve with people who leave during the middle of her class and usually offers extra-credit at the end of class to add to your midterms scores.

An awesome lecturer, but tests can be hard and lengthy. She expects you to talk in class a lot and comment on the readings - a lot of test material comes from the readings. A good professor overall.

Shes an amazing teacher. And very attractive. But seriously, she can even make the most confusing subject (the Supreme Court) make sense. Very highly recommended.

She is a very good teacher, When she assigns reading she expects you to do it and if you cant handle that don't take her classes. She explains what she wants and then expects it from you its as simple as that. FYI don't take her con law classes unless you like con law and are prepared to do a TON of reading. Great prof, highly recommend.

Easy A. I studied the day of the tests and managed an A. Go to class and you'll know the material for the test. She tells you what's important and reinforces concepts with the West Wing.

Rorie is a great professor. I've taken 3 classes from her now and her expertise in judicial politics is informative and always interesting. Don't expect an easy A, but do the reading and engage the material and you will do just fine. Those who complain are simply not committing themselves to the class

PS 326 and PS 429(WIC). Attendance mandatory in 429, so don't take that one unless you can commit to it. Very challenging professor; tests and papers alike are tough. Grading is also unpredictable. Only take her classes if you're very interested in the topic (law). I'm a pre-law poli sci major so to me it's worth it. Good professor, just difficult.

High expectations for an entry level class but as long as you go to lecture and keep up with reading doing well in the class isn't too hard.

To start, I took the con law series starting with 321. An excellent professor overall, she will get you thinking about the extra-legal topics. However, a word of caution: do not take this class if you don't love (or at least have interest in) law and the judiciary. She is an extremely tough grader but will get to know you if you participate.

I didnt think this class was overly difficult. I didnt do all the readings but attended class and got B's on the midterms without studying. She keeps the class interesting and her syllabus is really clear, so for those who say she is unclear probably just don't put the effort in. Easy, interesting class. I enjoyed it.

This class is hard. Simple as that. If you love learning about law, take i; If you don't, don't. You need to do the reading, and there is a lot of it. You need to talk in class and you need to have good comments and class decorum. If you aren't willing to put in the work, don't take the class.

Generally easy so long as you came to class and paid attention. She knows a lot about the judicial branch but not as much about the others, which is a little disappointing. The textbook was very simplified, and probably not needed for the class.

Professor Solberg expects you to come to class having done the assigned reading and able to contribute something to class discussion. If you can do that, you will be well prepared for the class

Tough but fair. Pay attention during lectures. Lot's of expected class participation. Most of the people you see complaining here don't usually pay attention or don't usually do all the reading. If she can tell you're putting in the effort, don't expect to get lower then a B. Essay questions on the exams give her a lot of discretion in your grade.

Professor Solberg is very interested and passionate when it comes to Political Science. She is funny and personable, but her fiery personality can turn on you in an instant if you do things she doesn't like (use your phone, talk during lecture, etc). doesn't hold grudges and won't make a huge deal about those things, but won't let em slide either.

Solberg is not an easy grader, but if you actually read and show some effort then you'll be fine. She doesn't tolerate people screwing around in her classes and she wants you to learn. With that being said, she will help you succeed as long as you try.

Despite what some are saying. Dr. Solberg is great, she may be a difficult grader but she does genuinely care about the learning of her students. If you have to miss a test for any reason, make sure you have proof as to your reason for missing. It may seem harsh, but people lie to professors all the time so blame them for that.

Professor Solberg is a good professor if you are a political science major or minor. I would not recommend taking her for Bacc Core as she is a very tough grader and her classes are reading and lecture heavy. If you do the work, go to class, and put in the effort you will be good. If you are looking for an easy A, she is not the professor for you.

Solberg is a very passionate professor, although a slightly tough grader. If you study and do what is asked of you, you should easily get a B.

She's a tough grader but I've learned so much in her class. Definitely don't take her for Bacc Core but if you're a PS major she's a great choice.

Solberg provides interesting and partisan topics in a respectful and engaging way. I loved debating and participating in her class. She was very helpful when I talked with her in her office hours. SHE GIVES OUT SO MUCH EXTRA CREDIT. The reading part is optional if you just pay attention in class when it comes to homework quizzes.

Doctor Solberg is extremely passionate; but an extremely hard grader. Highly recommend, although you'll have to do ALL the readings and class participation is helpful.

Solberg's constitutional law class was the hardest class I've ever taken. I struggled a lot even as a poly sci major but I learned an incredible amount in ten weeks. She is a harsh grader and it was definitely somewhat of a blow to see such low grades on assignments I worked so hard on. Solberg is brilliant but not someone to mess around with.

I love Prof Solburg but she is NOT for everyone. You have to attend class and reading is mandatory. She uses the socratic method and if you aren't prepared this it will hurt you. I am not a PS major so it took me a bit to catch up just on the language the class used but you learn a ton and she is exceptionally helpful in office hours.

Great professor, and really nice. One time I was coughing in class because I was a bit ill, and she gave me a cough drop! Class wasn't too hard. She is very liberal politically.

I am not a Political Science major but this class was enjoyable for me. She knows most people take PS201 for bacc-core, but if you are willing to learn and participate she will respect, help, and engage with you. Her lectures, though long, don't feel tiring and are interesting; however, the online textbook is atrocious. That is the biggest flaw.

There are a lot of reviews on here that I understand, but I had an amazing experience in her class. There was lots of engagement during lectures, even over zoom. Personally, I hate talking over zoom but I loved speaking up in her class. The assignments are really creative and creating your own government was cool. Would take any of her classes!

Cares about what she lectures, make sure to ask questions. Only about 6 assignments and some worth more than they should be. Easy to lose points over silly things so be thoughtful when reading her rubrics. Very important group projects with random students, be sure to let her know if your members are not doing their part. Taken over zoom.

Super fun and engaging class! No tests at all, though a large chunk of your grade was based on randomly assigned group projects, so do be aware of that! I learned a ton while having a super fun time doing it. Really really fun class.

This teacher is patronizing, sometimes rude, and also very frank/honest. I found myself disagreeing with everything she said and the content she taught. However, she is also very open minded to hearing your perspectives. On top of that, she is incredibly good at teaching, with a great ability to structure content. Content is easy, too.

She is a great professor and clearly knows her stuff but is a VERY tough grader. I learned a lot and really enjoyed her lecture/cold call format but would not take her for lower division classes or if you're not a PS major. The class is structured on court cases so there is lots of reading. Very high standards but does not give much feedback.

Solberg is amazing. She knows what she's doing and grades like it. If you want to actually learn, she will be great for you because her lectures are entertaining and the course is valuable. If you want an easy A, she is not the professor to take. The exams are challenging and her grading is a bit vague but you will become a better writer with her.

People were upset the governing after the zombie apocalypse class had more governing than zombies, but it was still fun and eye-opening. Come into lectures open-minded and willing to participate. She assigns group projects but allows you to rate your group members and handles the situation if someone is not pulling their weight. A lot of fun.
