Hard work pays off in this class. The material isn't difficult, but he makes it harder than it is. Write down every single thing he says during notes, even if it seems irrelevant. Usually you are not tested on the material, but the statistics. STUDY FOR QUIZZES. He is also very offensive and rude if you have an opinion opposing his.

When people say don't take him, they mean it. His class is one of the most dropped out class for a reason. He is so opinionated and pushes his agenda, while marking you off if you don't agree with him. He is not very sympathetic and clearly has no passion to teach. All I have to say is that I warned you. Please do not take this class.

I have never left a bad review for any teacher at Delta College, as my experience has been fantastic. However, Mr. Boudrot is the exception, he is an unkind, abrasive man who lacks basic empathy. I would not recommend him to anyone EVER. If Mr. Boudrot were the only option for any given section, I would transfer schools.

Never in my life have I had a professor who gaslighted me, made me feel stupid, and accused me of despising him. His grading reflected that he rushed, topics were hidden from students (before I notified the Dean), and there was no grading rubric or clear communication of how points were removed until I asked and was threatened with misconduct.

If you're a liberal you'll pass this class with flying colors. Don't recommend whatsoever. You could be the smartest person in the world, but if he gets a hint that you're republican, he'll pick out everything with your homework etc. Not gonna lie he was a nice guy, but he pushed his thoughts way too much, he was going to try to change ur thoughts

I did not like the way that the class was taught; the directions for the papers were not clear, and there was no rubric. He has this weird obsession with grammar as if he were an English teacher. You lose points per misspelling, and even if your emails have spelling errors, you will lose points. I would not recommend this class for anyone.

He doesn't like to be corrected when he is clearly wrong (and shown evidence). Obsessively worried about students using outside sources including google scholar. Writes anti trump manifestos weekly (I don't like trump either but he's scary about it)

I have never experienced such a bad professor in my life. The lack of professionalism and the insane biases is insane. He pushes his opinion and beliefs and that is the only opinion. If you disagree you fail. He also expects you to respond to emails anytime of any day in the week. I truly don't know how he is allowed to be a professor.

This professor is discouraging and unhelpful. His feedback is harsh, making students feel inadequate. No outside sources, not even the textbook, are allowed—violations earn an automatic zero. Asking for clarification is pointless, as he responds condescendingly. If you must take this class, find a different professor. Not worth the stress or tears.

Never take this class. This is a man child that refuses to believe anything except for the small bit of media that he consumes. Mind you I didn't open a single textbook for this class and I would have a B in this class if I remembered to take the mid term. Use ChatGPT and you can breeze through if you are online. If you are in person you're boned.

This was one of the MOST draining classes I have ever taken. The workload was not a lot, but there was just so much to remember and the professor is extremely tough on grading, instructions are very well written but very tough to understand sometimes. I would not take this class again if my life depended on it.

He does not explain course work. He does not go into more detail even when asked, he states this all over his course. He will give you a horrible grade if your political opinions differ, which is crazy from a government teacher. He also removes all notes and chapter information from the course at end of week and puts it all on final exam. NOT GOOD!

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! He is extremely left winged and will push it onto you until you agree with him. If your opinions differ your grade will reflect it! All exams are essay format, he is obsessed with grammar, gives no study material! He failed me on an essay when I gave republican opinions, passed with flying colors when I used liberal opinions!

He has strong liberal political views, and if your opinions align with his, you may find the class easier. This can make students with opposing views feel uncomfortable and excluded. If you value fair, unbiased grading and an environment where diverse opinions are respected, you may want to consider another professor.

This has been the only bad experience I have had with a professor at Delta. His political opinions are heavy handed and often have nothing to do with the course material. Though the biggest problem is the inconsistency. Even If you try to give him what he wants he gives bizarre grades. One week an A and the next a D-. For the same work.

This was my only bad experience at Delta. He was rude and condescending, and accused my whole project of being AI even though the class sources showed 0 percent. He focuses more on catching AI than teaching. I would never retake him or recommend him. I've emailed my advisor and will report him to the dean after this term is over.
