Great teacher. Kinda hard on tests, but she makes sure you know your material. Take her!

I like her lecture style because she keeps you interested in what she's teaching, but I feel like her tests do not reflect her lectures. There is too much information on the tests that was never heard or even on the study guide.

Good, stong teacher. Loves what she does and it shows. Take her classes!!!

Well I thought this class was easy. A's on every test without too much outside study. Most of the class is just random stories, but I guess it keeps people interested.

Great class. She really knows the information. You have to study but it is very possible to make an A. I highly recommend her. She is an awesome teacher.

Excellent teacher. HILARIOUS! You'll have so much fun in her class you'll wish she could teach every subject!

I thought she was a great teacher and kept you interested in the subject by acting out the story line. Go to class and listen and you will do good. I took it as a summer class and loved it.

Great teacher!

She is a remarkable prof. Loves politics. Great personality. Semi-hard test, you must read the book and study your notes. You can't get away with the BS because she knows what she taught you. If you want to learn take her. You'll like this class.

Great teacher and makes you want to be in class. Loves debate in the classroom and will challenge the student. Not an easy A but it is easy to make an A if you put forth a little effort and come to class!

GREAT TEACHER - knows the material, delivers it superbly, and is a helpful mentor!

She's great. Very funny, very smart, knows her stuff. I'm a guy, and I made a C, but that is because I never studied. She might be biased, but she's WAAAAY better than Lanier could ever hope to be.

Excellent. Funny. Holds the attention of the class. Tests are hard. Must show up for class, take notes and study from book. Will learn something even if you didn't want to.

She doesn't take attendance but it's best to be there. I made a C in the class- skipped a lot, and wasn't too interested in the book part. I loved the class though. Her final is easy but her tests are difficult. If you attend class, and show her that you care she is a great teacher. I enjoyed the class more than any of my others and I hate Pols.

Don't take it from anyone else. She rocks. No attendance, but if you come to class she tells you everything you need for the tests. I never cracked the book open, missed class way too much, and still made an A because I got the notes from another student. She gives extra credit sometimes. She explains everything well and makes it interesting. A+

oh, my god! I love her. I think if all the teachers at lamar taught like her everyone would have much better grades.

very fun lectures she keeps you interested . i wish all my professor taught like she did. she made pols interesting and fun for the first time in my life

THIS CLASS WAS ESPECIALLY HARD FOR ME, BUT I WAS/AM NOT INTERESTED IN THE GOVERNMENT AT ALL. TURN YOUR CELL PHONES OFF OR SHE WILL ANSWER AND MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE AN A**. SHE'S VERY ENERGETIC AND FUNNY, BUT THERE'S NO POINT IN LEARNING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S CORRUPT AND RUN BY MORONS.

She is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She is so awesome. You get alot about life and political science

Her tests are very hard and are all about LAW issues, and not about politics at all. She has a great dislike for economics and she puts very few questions about politics and economy. If you make a low grade on the first exam drop the class cuz that will kill your final grade. She should teach some upper level law courses but not intro to POLS.

Listening to Dr. Davis lecture is like watching stand up comedy.... she makes political science seem like entertainment. I have never seen a college class where they don't take attendance due to lack of need... everyone attends because her class is fun and you learn!

great teacher, very funny, make the class interesting-----her tests are very difficicult--- you gotta study---(i barely passed). (For the guys) ---- she is very hot.........(lol).

good teacher she kept me interested but her test are hard as hell.

I LOVE THIS WOMAN. her stories are so interesting and she is hilariouse. TESTS ARE SOO HARD THOUGH. yeah. alot of her test questions do not come from notes which are hard to take anyway cuz she talks to fast. but she is really funny!

Great teacher. Really makes you want to learn. Very helpful and her test her straight from the notes.

Don't listen to anyone complain about this professor; they don't belong in a college classroom. Amazing teacher, awesome passion for what she does, wish she taught every class at Lamar, doesn't take attendance but will go anyway just to hear her teach, exams are challenging but will be okay if you read the book and take good notes

Greatest teacher ever. This is a true University Level Class. It is not for slackers. I took for different classes and made A in all the courses. I had to study however!!!!

I enjoyed this class. This was an online class that you can fit into your schedule.

this class is not for slackers, its for people who actually go to college to learn.

Great teacher. Show her you care about political science and put in the necessary work and you'll do well.

This teacher was very interesting in her lecture, however I found that she does not cover what on her tests. You MUST read & study on your own.

Dr. Davis is hands down best professor that I have had at Lamar. The class isn't too difficult. She talks about some very interesting political topics that occurred throughout American history and ties them in with supreme court rulings. Take this class if you want to retain information digested in class rather than just regurgitate it on an exam.

Funny professor, but tests are very hard. You don't necessarily have to go everyday because she gives you a review sheet, a week prior to the test. However, occasionally she'll give you answers and information for the tests that is not on the review sheet.

She's awesome, attendance isn't mandatory because students want to show up to class. Her lectures are so funny. Test are very VERY hard. Show up if you want to pass. Easily, one of my favorite professors.

As a Political Science major, I had the privilege of taking several of Dr. Davis' courses. She influenced me to change my major to PoliSci. She is an incredible professor and has a passion for what she teaches. I was in her class during the events of 9-11. I will never forget it. My courses were mainly from 2001-2003. I graduated 8/03 Shawna

Dr. Davis is a good teacher who genuinely cares about her students and wants to help them succeed. Great lecturer, very good at explaining concepts. Also very understanding of students and is there when you need help. My only complaint is her FREQUENT cussing; it's unnecessary in a classroom environment and is very unprofessional, in my opinion.

She a pretty awesome professor I have taken. Her lecture is amazing. Her exam come straight from the lecture and some from the quizzes. Overall her class is easy to pass if you come to class and listen to her lecture.

Dr. Davis is no-nonsense. She expects you to try and be ready for class, but she obviously cares about everyone and that is why she gives tough love. She is respectful of everyone and curses a lot, which is fun since she's just a sassy southern girl. I can't wait to take more of her classes if I can.

I took this course for May Mini and ended with a B. I learned a lot in this class. I HIGHLY recommend doing the "optional" quizzes. Some of the questions can be on the test!! Listen to her lectures. I can not stress this enough. I did not read, just looked through at the main points. Look over the review! Answers may come from that also. Good luck

I took this class for summer 1 and it was very time consuming. However, if you do study you will do fine.

I had her for an online graduate course. She's an excellent teacher with a fantastic personality but you better be ready to WORK for your grade. Lots of reading, I mean LOTS, with two major papers and three major exams plus discussion questions. She's an extremely tough grader and the papers and the tests are HARD.

Dr. Davis makes POLS2302 bearable so if you have to take this class, take her on campus. I suggest reading the textbook because some stuff on the review sheet she hasn't gone over is on the test . If you take good notes and read the assigned reading the test is really just a process of elimination.

The best professor out there.

Best PoliSci prof in the department. Makes the lecture funny and straightforward. You gotta do the readings for the exams, but they're not bad and she makes the books free/cheap. The term paper is easy, but take it seriously- she grades it tough (not harsh, just tough). Even if you don't like political science (like me) you'll enjoy this course.

Don't take her online. Take in class, otherwise you miss out. She's an amazing person to know with amazing connections. She also requires that you meet with her at least 3 times in the semester, which is rough but oh well. Gives great feedback. But fr go to class and take good notes.

So many people rate professors poorly because they did not feel like doing the work. Took this class over the summer, and she gave us 4 tests and 1 essay. For a 6 week course I would say that is a very light load and super manageable. She gave a suggested time-line, but made all tests due on the same day at the end. She is clear on what she wants!

I originally took POLS 2302 w/ Tahaney & didnt teach. Dr. Davis explains things so well & in-depth. lectures are super interesting. shes even removed exam questions that she didnt cover. you WILL have to put in work, but shes with you every step of the way. so kind. youll like POLS after her class!! (from a former POLS hater & business major)

Read the textbook and you will be fine. Only grades were four tests and a written assignment. Dr. Davis is really good at answering emails fast and instructions are clear in syllabus.

This class is test-based. There are 4 tests, and one written assignment, with no homework. For each exam, she gives a review with important terms and reading quizzes that are very helpful. If you study the reading quizzes, court cases, and important terms, you will do fine. There is also an optional final that will replace your lowest test grade.

I greatly value my time in Dr. Davis' course. She cares for her students and really wants them to be successful. Be sure to meet with her 1 on 1 if the opportunity arises because she WILL help you and give you tools for success in her course. Don't be too prideful to pass up on her opportunities to review your work before turning in either. DO IT!
