This Professor is one of the few out there that will make you learn something at the end of the day. I find it unfair that he gets bad grades because lazy students don't want to do anything and still pass. You have to study to get an A here, like college is supposed to be, but this professor is one of the best in this college hands down. He's great

You will have an easy A as long as you study his study guide and power point. Please do not drop the class, if you have any difficulties, let him know and he will help you succeed.

One of the most grating professors I've ever had. He's obnoxious and never shuts up about off topic nonsense. When he does get on track, he'll repeat very simple concepts for 20 minutes at a time. Took a 3.75 hour long summer class with him, big mistake. Tests are somewhat vague in their wording, but very A-able, for the most part. Would not take.

This was not the easiest class, or professor. There are a lot of assignments to keep up with. He does give a study guide for each test, however they are not completely helpful. He words his test in a very confusing way. I am an "A" student and I passed his class with a "C". Overall this class was not bad, however I am sure there is an easier prof

Professor Aikhionbare is a great man. He is always telling jokes and making the class laugh. Our discussions in class were very interesting, but there were other students that dominated the discussions and I don't think he was a good mediator when it came to controlling them. His tests are tricky:(He is an awesome guy but I could not take him again

Talks TOO MUCH off topic -his family, home-countryNigeria. Tests weirdly worded, hard to understand, grades 35, 44 for first test. Extra cred is in last test, making it more difficult. Poor vocabulary, childish & street expressions in lack of academic English. Poorly manages time bc of unrelated talks, crams up material in last test. Avoid him

Good Professor. A bit hard to understand due to an accent. Not an easy A, but if you are willing to work for it, you can get an A. I did, but I studied. Tests require critical thinking.

Incredibly knowledgeable in politics, current events, and history. Nice guy, and genuinely cares if students pass. However, his tests comes from information in the textbook, class notes, AND PowerPoint so they are somewhat difficult. He also lets his students ramble off topic which causes the class to fall behind

Professor A. is an amazing teacher. I've taken 2 separate classes of his and he really loves his job, so knowledgeable and willing to help. It's clearer wants his students to learn and pass. But if you're lazy and just want an easy A I'd chose another prof. If you actual want to learn prof A. is a great teacher.

Viktor is no doubt one of my favorite teacher I took so far at PBSC. He is very charismatic and educational, his sense of humor helps the serious political subject matter to be effectively tolerable and a lot more engaging to discuss in class. It is no doubt that political science is most socially involve class I experienced and it is worth it.

Overall, I am okay with the professor but had to listen carefully to what he is saying in class because it will be on the tests. The review he gave doesn't help much, and he often go off topic in class, more than half of my classmates are failing the class if he doesn't offer the extra credits.

This class is not as hard as people are making it sound. I took this as a high school senior and got an A by actually studying once in awhile. Work-wise, it's very nicely paced, but the tests require for you to study the material thoroughly (there was only like 5 tests though). If you study well, you will pass. Professor is a smart and funny guy.

He may have a strong accent but he is an amazing professor. You actually learn and he goes in depth with his teacher. Be prepared to take notes and write down everything he says. He gives out quizzes so be sure you wrote good notes. Sadly he will be retiring next year so be sure to take him before he leaves.

So nice! Super hilarious! He gives extra credit. This is his last year i believe. Super hard tests. Not sure why. Lots of people failed most of the tests but he gives other opportunities to boost your grade. You have to study hard. I loved the class though. He is very smart. Also does not push or talk about his own beliefs at all.

Amazing professor. He lectures very heavily so if you get bored easily, this professor is not for you. Tests are easy (all answers in lecture), but are a large part of your grade, but he gives a lot of extra credit to make up for some of it. Very accommodating and understanding. He just retired, but if he ever chooses to teach again I recommend.

Long & uninteresting lectures. Grades everything very tough, if you don't study you won't pass. He gets off topic ALOT and sometimes spends more than half the class off topic. Tests are hard and the wording is very confusing, not many people got A's on the exams. A good person but too off topic and unorganized in a way, would not take again.

I'll cut straight to the point and say that this Professor has admitted to teaching this class because he is bored in retirement. He is too old to be teaching. His test wording doesn't make sense and his review sheet questions are never on tests. If you study really hard and fail this class. It's not worth taking, find another way to get the credit
