Mr. Killikelly is a bit haphazard at times but he's a great teacher who genuinely cares about the subject he teaches and provides interesting materials in class. He is one of the rare teachers at CCSF that want you to succeed.

His class isn't a free ride, he will make you think and learn things, he's an interesting, funny guy, and a great teacher.

He's cool, really passionate about what hes teaching and willing to engage in discussions and conversations. Really easy to approach and understanding.

One of the best teachers I've ever had. He has a great approach to teaching this course and very interesting reading material. Class disussions and lectures are engaging. one of ccsf's best teachers

knows his stuff very opinionated and not always open but a great challenge for poli sci majors you'll learn a lot

First off, I want to say I am a PLSI major. But this was my first class a few semesters ago. His reading if a little tough, but its nothing compared to anyother teacher in4 years school. If you are PLSI major- take him. If your not, its still a easy A or B. Get to know him he will give out a letter of Recommendation if you need it.

i don't know what the bad reviews are about -Tim Killikelly is my favorite teacher this semester. i'm not a polisci major, infact i usually hate polisci! he's engaging, funny, straightforward, sticks to the book and makes american government make sense to me. holding everyone's attnetion for 3 hours on a weeknight is not easy, but he's great at it.

His class is really full of epiphany moments. He gets very excited (and is very funny) but he teaches with real depth. The reading is difficult (everything dealing with political theory stuff is) but it's never a lot at one time. His lectures are fun interactions, not just lists of facts and quotes.

Dr. Killikelly gives out handouts on writings by political theorists. The quizzes are based on these handouts and your understanding of the theorist. A paper on a subject you choose is due during finals week. Classes are open discussions with some students participating but most remained quiet. Some students did have problems with the readings.

Course is a big, enlightening, semester long discussion about Government from a refreshing perspective. Tim is such a great guy, one of the best at CCSF. His style is free form, he wings it. This freedom scares a lot of students, seeing as how we want a set defined system of education to conform to. Tim has transcended that. Take his class.

Timothy Killikelly is one of the best teachers I've had. Everyone saying the book was too hard is really exaggerating, if you have any intelligence the texts are not hard at all. He's an engaging speaker and funny guy, take him you won't regret it!

A fun and interesting man with a real passion for teaching and the subject matter. class was easy, attendance is kind of a joke, you dont need to go much unless theres a test. subject matter is kinda difficult, but the class is easy to pass. killikelly could be a better teacher, but he is definitely not a bad one. plus, no text book!

Killikelly is very consistent in his lectures. He doesn't give a book for the class,he provides the readings for you.Tests are given every two weeks,no midterms,and the final is either a take home or a project.Overall this teacher is pretty good, he gives you a 3 week period of absence. He's pretty lenient but difficult,try not to miss class.

He's a good teacher. You have to LISTEN in class and read a little

Killikelly is awesome!If your dreading poli sci like I was take his class.He has great energy, is fun to talk to and has a really unique approach. He's inspiring and thought provoking. He made a subject that wasnt very interesting to me, into a subject I really enjoyed learning about. I would gladly take any class he was teaching.

Mr. Killikelly made comparative government fun and related it all to whats going on in the world now. Class is not mandatory but if you miss a certain amount you will get dropped. He takes role too. And I wouldn't recommend missing class just cause you get a lot of handouts, considering there is no textbook. He is very helpful, great personality.

Wow, he is a hot teacher. I really like him. I do not need this course, but I did not drop it because i liked him. He is funny, but for some reason, i always fell asleep. Quizzes are easy, but he is an HARD grader on papers.

Mr. Killikelly is an awesome teacher!!! He makes political science be as interesting as it can get... He is a great lecturer, and the class is very interactive with student participation. Not very much work to get an A. I highly recommend him to anyone regardless of whether you are a Political science major or not. Excellent teacher!!!

i just took his class this semester. That was an awesome experience for me. He is a great teacher who has much knowledge about political science. i learned helpful information in his class and you never get bored in his class.

he's cool. especially when giving examples--clear and funny.

One of the smartest teachers I've ever had. Stimulates the brain. He'll answer any question you have for him. If you like learning take him. Assignments involve thinking and comprehension...take him if you don't want your brain to waste away. If you don't use it you'll lose it.

GREAT TEACHER! He really got me fired up about learning through his lectures. He is passionate about what he does and sincerely wants everyone who comes to class to do well. Plus he's got a great sense of humor.

GREAT TEACHER! He really knows the material he is teaching. He does not use a textbook. He creates his own with texts from several different minds of all types of ideology. The class is always interesting and very interactive. His exams are great as they are always in class essays. A+

Awesome teacher, took a subject that I had no interest in and made it the class I look forward to every day. It is set up in a way that requires you to read the material before you come, which is great because it leads to really interesting discussions with the majority of the class participating. I'm signing up for his other classes next semeste

He is one of very few teachers I will go to my grave remembering. He is fun, energetic, a true intellectual, down to earth. Take his class if you want to be inspired and motivated. I really look up to him, wish there were more instructors like him!! He lets you read different essays from different points of view. He is not the kind to push a book s

He does not try to push a book sale on you to make money; it is not the kind of man he is! you will love him!

Great teacher, knowledgeable and passionate, very helpful. Good reading material. Class was easy. At the same time, I often felt like I was in high school again. Too lenient with students asking the same unnecessary questions time and again. Spends too much time on housekeeping issues. Could use better discipline for the class.

He is that stereotypical lefty college professor who engages students and makes them think about issues. Very interesting reading material and dialogue in class. His office door is always open and I still find myself visiting 2 semesters later to talk politics with him. If you want to learn alot and argue with one of the bests, take his course.

Very good.

Killikelly was AWESOME! Very thought stimulating teacher. Even though I joined his evening class, he could not make me fall asleep because he kept you engaged. Easy quizzes based off reading. Very knowledgeable teacher who can counter almost every opposing ideas in a very non-offensive way. He makes me more interested in the topics of politics.

OMG his text book is sooooo hard... dont take him ... just dont....

Great Teacher.

Awesome teacher. Engaging lectures. Teaches critical thinking. Read the book and listen = good grade.

Very relaxing class. Killikelly is well versed on his material. The readings were not hard, just dense. A handful of quizes, and three papers based on movies, and the same readings done for quizzes make this class relatively stress-free. Learned a lot, and took care of my history and CA history req'ments at the same time!

This guy was great. He knows the material very well. His lectures were very entertaining. It was just a great over all class. I would love to be in his class again.

Very easy class, can get an A even without the extra credit. He usually assigns As or Bs but rarely Cs. Make sure you read the material. His lectures are interesting as well. Final was easy and was 25% of your grade.

Great professor who knows what he is teaching. Loves participation and overall makes the material easy to understand. Reading is key and as expected SHOW UP TO CLASS.

Awesome teacher! He really knows his stuff, and opens your eyes to new ways of thinking. Reading is mandatory, but materials are super relevant and interesting. He has tailored this class by hand-picking hand-picking each article. He is a truly passionate teacher. You will leave this class feeling educated and aware in a new sense!

Awesome teacher! He is very kind and down to earth, and trust me he knows his material! He is not easy and on your papers you submit be sure you have the facts to back it up. The only issue with him was his book he used for the class it didn't make sense! But, overall great teacher, had him 9 years ago. I highly recommend him!

Tim is a great instructor! The class is more theory based, but very interesting. Definitely opens your eyes to a lot of things. Discussions are great and reading the textbook is key to succeeding in this class.

SUUUUPER NICE GUY!! I love taking courses taught by Killikelly!! I've learned a great deal from his courses and would absoutely recommend him to anyone (and have!).

Great instructor! DO THE READING, becuase the quizzes are all based on what you learned from the reading. Also, make sure to come to class! :)

Killikelly's classes are really easy but, unlike most easy classes, one really learns a lot. He is very passionate about politics and really gets his classes to think about the material covered in a meaningful way. I would highly recommend him.

He's a great teacher and willing to help you understand his concepts. Go to his office hours or before class discussions for help on readings before quizzes.

I've taken three classes with Mr. Killikelly and have learned SO much from each! You'll enjoy his class. It's fun, because you actually get to participate and share your opinions on political topics. Also, he's one of the nicest people I've ever met!! super awesome guy!!!

He doesn't use textbook, so that saves alot money! His political view is a social democrat (sweden style), and will make his views known. Very good on lectures, but doesn't actually test you on it. Quizzes are all in-class essays which are from the readings he gave you. Final is take home essay, easy if you like politics.

He is amazing! Very helpful, entertaining even. The book he uses is actually a collection of the articles he chose himself which are historic and interesting;therefore, important to know for everyone not only politicians. Book cost was around 18 dollars(terrific). if you really want to succeed come to his office hours and read the book. good luck

This class is hard work, but it changed my life. Awesome professor, just be ready to listen and read...and write.

Fabulous teacher! Makes you think differently and is welcoming to conservative and liberal thoughts. Would love to take him again.

Good teacher, while at lease when I had him. The only flaw in his teaching style was he was really boring when he would go off on a long tangent and talk about other things that had no relation to the topic at hand. If you can tolerate small chatter for hours on in and get an A+ for sitting there and taking easy tests than Killikelly is your man.

Great teacher, made Pol Sci very interesting for a non-political student such as myself. He gives reading assignments and set of Q's which he will randomly choose from for the quiz each week. Exams are take home. As long as you do the reading and make an effort, it's pretty much a given.

Love Tim. He is a great teacher and he knows his material well. I only take this class for my GE, but because of Tim, I grow great interests in POLS. It's not hard to get A in this class if you read the books ,make notes and listen to him well. Great teacher.

One of the best teachers I've ever had. Very moving and intelligent. Read the material he gives you, it's SO interesting, and it applies to real world situations - you will benefit greatly from it. This class expanded my mind and interest. And Tim is a great man.

Took him for Politics of Globalization and he was tremendously fantastic! Learned a lot about the concept of globalization and read case studies/articles that took the subject matter from different perspectives(conservative to liberal). He is also accepting to different opinions and would love to take him again, before I transfer to Cal.

Amazing professor

He cares bruh, but you gotta focus and lowkey participate. He hella passionate so like you know, you know. He a cool dude no cap. If you stuck between a few teachers, pick him, you feel me. Don't trip he got you, he cool. Oh but his handwriting ain't it chief. Straight booty. But that lightweight don't matter so you good.

Class was easy! He gives us articles to read and study and every couple weeks he gives us one quiz question based on the articles. Even though it is one question, he expects you to write a couple paragraphs on it and should be a page long. The final is two short essay questions, 3-4 pages, based on the articles he gave throughout the semester.

Great lectures, really fantastic guy. Lots of reading, but it's all good stuff.

I've taken him this semester for my POLS3 and POLS4 requirement during COVID. Easy A if you read his materials. All of his test question are in the syllabus. All of the answers are in the readings he gives. Gives you final questions a month in advance too. Take him if you want to learn these subjects in your own pace.

I took him for my first semester in City and online school. He's honestly a good teacher and you don't have to worry about getting the book he provides them for you as each module/assignment come up. It's just a lot of reading but that's how you pass his class. Other than that he was really chill.
