Absolutely, the worst teacher I have ever had. Not once did he relate the subject to the book, the premice of the class solely relied on his opinion, which consequently is not based on his experience, only on his huge ego and his political stance. He translates the subject through his bitter, political opinion, so do not disagre with him.

Attendance is basically absolutely mandatory but aside from that, class is a breeze. Zero homework, he gives you the answers to the midterm & final, and grades VERY easily on the two papers you're assigned. Downside is his class can be boring and his lectures are often tangents but it's bearable if you want an easy A.

If you actually want to learn, DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS. He tells stories for the most part, and covers very little material in class. You're better off reading the book. The class itself if an easy A, but he doesn't even grade his own tests which is unfair to the students. Will call you out for coming in late, but will waste your time with stories.

When you're in class, it's really hard to shape your head around the fact that it's real life. The class comprises of him telling old college stories and going on tangents about whatever upsets him that day. Grades by just looking to see that you did something and gives u an A. Also spends the last 2 weeks before a test giving you answers. 12/10.

if you're actually into this subject, then I suggest you don't take his class. Honestly, half of his reviews aren't here aren't even accurate. He does however go off numerous tangents, you dont learn a thing unless hes angry about something. also he does give you the answers, but he isnt clear on them and goes off tangents while he gives them out.

The class was honestly dreadful to sit through but if you just need the credit like I did it's not too demanding. He literally gives you all the answers to the midterm and final which makes it impossible to do poorly on. You do have to come to every class to earn the 100 participation points, otherwise you have to write another 10-page paper.

Poli sci is an utterly useless subject to my major (biology), therefore, what would be the point in me taking this class to challenge myself? Okay so if you're like me, then take him bc you will learn nothing and get an A for it! It's simply amazing. But if you're actually taking poli sci to learn, then his class isn't for you.

This was my first 8 am class and I would say worth. This man will help you out with any question and even slip in a few answers here and there. If you help him out, he offers extra credit! Although lectures can be dry, very nice man and reasonable amount of work to do for this class. Two papers, mid term, and final! Show up to get points!
