Is such an awesome professor. He definitely knows what he is talking about. Any question asked he answers. Makes politics fun, and humorous and very enjoyable. Has some great stories. I loved going to his classes. And he's easy!
super professor!
most exciting 8am class ive ever had---hes a load of everything--very intelligent and good sense of humor--also makes you learn history without al the homework. Take him for history
Wonderful instructor. I would re-take all my history and poly sci classes just to have him as a teacher again.
One of the best professors I've ever had. I'd take all his classes if I was a career student. No homework, just 3 or 4 exams. I rarely ever refered to my notes because his lecture style makes details easy to remember, and it's not much of a detail oriented class.
He has a story for every fact, which makes facts easy to remember. Never had to ask him for help because he is very clear in lectures. I like how he plans to cover certain material over the duration of the course, but his lectures just seem to be one long story, and he may take longer on one section just to emphasize that part of the story.
Dr. G was very helpful with his teachings. Great democrat and please mention something about Marry Bono! It was funny that we had the same intrested in gov. beliefs. History class I would have to say was challenging because he talks so fast and starts ta
This guy was the best History and Govt, professor I ever had. His teaching style was that you had fun but learned something as well.

Great Teach
i love this guy he is so cool. his jokes are not always that funny but he tries. i'm glad he is not a stiff like some other teachers i had.
Best professor ever. Can say anything more. I recommend all to take at least one of his classes regardless of your major. This is what a professor should be like, which help as you continue on in school to know the best helps to know the crappy ones out there.
Very funny man. great teacher. Took for summer and liked it. If you need help will give you extra notes. Easy grader.
great teacher, easy & funny
just one comment for this teacher, go to class EVERYDAY and dont worry about your scores
dont take his class. Jennison is way easier and more interesting
This class was fun. no homework. gives you a study guide for the test which are 50 M/C questions and grades on a curve every test he gave 10 pts. he's funny,upbeat and always made jokes about how his wife never cooks so he staches his beer in the oven. he makes the subject fun to learn. never used book just be prepared 2 take notes! great teacher!
Absolutley great one of the reasons I want to major in History.
He lectures alot, but is very interesting and funny. Tests and attendance are the only grades, but his tests are easy enough if you attend the lectures. Reccommend.
This guy is the man, Def. recomend taking his class. Very easy to understand, no homework, not a ton of reading. His tests are fairly hard but all and all is the best HIST teacher COD has to offer.
One of the best professors in the social sciences department. Grades are based on tests and attendance. No homework. Gives a lot of extra points, so the class is relativley easy as long as you show up. Keeps you interested throughout the class.
Great Guy! Funny as all getup! never has history ever been so truthful informative, and interesting!
Best teacher ever!! He is hilarious! He knows sooo much about everything he teaches. I took him for history and liked his teaching style so much I took him for PoliSci as well. His class is all lecture, but not the boring kind. He uses power point as well. Tests are based on notes, there is never any reading assigned. Take him for history!!!!!!!!!!
this man is an incredible genius! he has so much knowledge it is astounding! he is an incredible teacher, every class is interesting with him. his tests are hard, but take good notes and you'll do fine, just don't miss class! you'll walk out of here a smarter person and have enjoyed learning it!
He is seriously the best teacher at C.O.D. Funny and extremely interesting lectures. You barely use the text book, tests are taken mostly from lecture. Awesome class, I wish he taught them all.
Hysterical teacher. Spends half of the class cracking jokes. I found the class extremely interesting, but that might be because I'm a poli sci major. I never used the book, everything he tested on was from the notes. He likes you to ask questions.
Gudelunas is the most hilarious professor i ever had. He somehow made politics easier and fun. Textbook is really unnecessary since his tests are straight from the notes. If you show up, pay attention, and get involved during his class. No doubt you can get an easy B
Funny guy, soooooo smart. Take notes and actually study you should be fine. If you want an A go to every class
This guy knows his stuff, but if you aren't fresh out of high school, you'll probably get tired of him going off on tangents and telling dirty jokes. Always lets you out early. Spends about half the time being a stand up comedian. The tests are pretty hard which is why I'd appreciate it if he stuck more to the material. Smart guy but not for me.
Fair prof, easy class. The comments about him trying (failing) to be a comedian are true, though I'll admit he elicited a laugh or two from me. Always lets out 20-30 minutes early. Tests are a bit challenging, though, so some studying may be required. Didn't buy a book, and got A's on every test--all but 1-2 questions are lecture-based.
NOT RECOMMENDED grades are based solely on three tests, absolutely nothing else. And the tests are rather difficult. Tells disgusting, crude jokes throughout class, and be careful if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend in the class with you, he'll say disgusting comments to you especially. Yes, he knows his facts, but his methods are subpar.
HIGHLY RECCOMENDED! Anyone who doesn?t think he?s funny has a terrible sense of humor. He makes the class enjoyable, entertaining and interesting. The exams are from his notes you don?t even need the book just skim through it at the library, put in a little time studying and you will do great!

Prof. Gudelunas truly loves his subject. His sense of humor adds to his interesting lectures. I would take another history course with him.
Strongly recommended! Very funny and keeps the subject interesting! If you have to take history take it with him. The class is easy as long as you show up and listen!
Very funny guy. If you need to take history take it with him, I really enjoyed this class. Everyone loves him, he's a great professor!
GREAT PROFESSOR! If you need help he's there. Front row seat is always the best. You can tell he enjoys his work. If you don't know a thing about foreign policy or political science in general, he can teach you in a day. TAKE HIS CLASS!
He is the BEST teacher I have ever had. I don't know what people are thinking when they say is hard or picks on people. He is funny, makes every class interesting/entertaining, very helpful, and is VERY generous with the grading. Overall he is BY FAR the best teacher I have ever had. Must take his class!
Hands down one of the BEST teachers at COD. I've taken Poli Sci 001, 002, & 004 with him. Im sad I don't have any other classes to take with him. He makes his class so much fun, very easy. He keeps the class interesting by throwing in jokes. I always looked forward going to his class. I know Im going to miss his class next semester
I thought he was very funny. The test were a little hard b/c it was all multiple choice. I didn't like that there was no homework to help your grade. Your grade is based on three test and when he takes roll. I do recommend him for a great history teacher.
He's such a cool and funny guy! I really enjoyed his class but i did end up dropping it because i was doing bad on the tests. If your not good at taking your own notes like me then i would recommend a different teacher. Great guy tho
Very funny guy! If your uptight and not open to random jokes I suggest staying away from him ^_^ Hes also very serious and gives plenty of notes during class... As long as you study and have good attendance you will recieve a good grade -ch
Best professor ever! Love, love love his trivia, also funny comments like, "I was born at night, but not last night." He makes learning fun and history interesting. Go to class, take good notes, exams are all based on notes. Absolutely the best!
I am a PoliSci major and took Gudelunas for 3 classes. He is a brilliant man who should not be allowed to teach. He lacks structure and method. He is often one sided and pushed his political beliefs on students. If this is your major I recommend not taking him and opt out for a professot who uses a real curriculm.
Greatest Professor Ever! Seriously, everyone needs to take one of his poly science classes or history not just because of the content but because of his hilarious jokes. One of the best, probably the best, Prof at college of the desert
Hands down, the finest teacher I have ever had. Prof Gudalunes is a master of his subject matter. His lectures, demeanor, humor, knowledge, and sincere dedication to teaching are only a few of the oustanding qualities this professor has. Colleges need more just like him.
Very knowledgeable about government and politics
Prior to taking Gudelunas, I was told that he was a great professor and they were right. Not an easy A, but is more that willing to help!

Dr. Gudelunas, knows his subject extremely well.He presents histry with great ferver. The details of the period have clarity and enthusiam. There is the correct amount of levity break tension of the subject. Questions are asked, to make sure the students have the right concept. Great interpersonal relationship skills
Mr. Gudelunas is an extrememly competent and intelligent instructor. Lecture style course, clear answers to questions asked, and brief but challenging tests. My PS2 class was cancelled at my campus so I drive an hour to take this course. I will do it again even if the course is not cancelled next semester based on Mr. Gudelunas' teaching style.
Professor Gudelunas provided insight and invaluable knowledge pertaining from the Reconstruction Period to present day US history. Highly recommend this course to anyone looking to learn about Post Civil War history.
This is the class that started it all for me. After taking Intro to Poly Sci with Professor Gudelunas I was hooked. He made the course interesting and FUN. Recommend this class to anyone who is on the fence about wanting to get into Poly Sci, you will be persuaded!
While my focus was in American Government, Intro to International Relations with Gudelunas was an extremely good class that offered comparisons between the different governments of foreign countries. Every Poly Sci major should take this class even if IR is not your concentration!
Dr. Gudelunas makes this complicated and hard to understand subject, that is filled with a lof facts, so easy to get! Finally a teacher that can keep my level of interest high! I've learned a great deal from him this semester and the information sticks! I'm so glad I took this class!
the worst class ever. 80% of the tests are from lecture, and he's not very good at it. most of the class is about his personal govt opinion. he loves Sarah Palin, Ronald Reagan, and is very knowledgeable in which presidents are gay and or switch hitters. there is never any homework. he is due to retire in fall 2011... try to avoid this teacher
Dr. Gudelunas, is an outstanding teacher for political science. It is clearly obvious that he knows his info too. In addtion, he is able to keep his class interested in the information by being funny. I highly recommend his class! Thanks Dr. Gudelunas
Dr. Gudelunas, is an outstanding teacher. It's obvious that he clearly knows current topics of govt, as well as past. He is very knowledgeable. In addition, he's able to keep the class interested by his funny jokes. Thanks Dr. Gudelunas

I really enjoyed the class. Professor Gudelunas is very helpful if you have questions. He knows the material very well and makes the subject interesting. I would recommend this class to anyone who is going to take this class because it is the best class you are going to take ever. Make sure to take notes and listen because it might be on the test.
I just completed U.S. History with Dr. Gudelunas and wish the class could have been longer! His experience as an educator is inspirational! I am looking forward to my next class with Dr. Gudelunas in the spring.
I REALLY ENJOY HAVING MR.GUDELUNAS AS AN INSTRUCTOR OF MY HISTORY CLASS. HE KNOWS THE SUBJECT VERY WELL. HE CLARIFYS ANYTHING WE DONT UNDERSTAND. HE IS VERY HELPFUL ON ANSWERING OUR QUESTIONS. HE MAKES IT EASY AND FUN. HE IS NOT BORING WHEN HE TEACHES. HE ADDS UP A LIL BIT OF HUMOR TO THE SUBJECT, MAKING US STAY AWAKE.
Dr. G is a great professor! He made history interesting and fun to learn about. His knowledge of the subject is infinite, and there wasn't a single question he could not answer in depth. I am enrolled in another of his classes for spring semester, and look forward to another enjoyable class.
Professor Gudelunas is very funny and informative, he keeps you interested in the subject at all times easy to listen to always in a good mood....this veteran recommeds Dr. Gudelunas to anyone who is interested in political knowledge..
Excellent teacher! very funny. Lectures without notes. Knows his stuff. Very detailed and covers everything on exam without handing out study guides. Very funny and keeps you awake. Will try to take him again. Loved his class!
Dr. Gudelunas was the BEST professor I EVER had!!!!! I hated history until I had his class! I took 3 of his classes, two for my associate degree and One for my Bachelor Degree. He is simply the greatest, funniest and amzing man/teacher I ever had and I have a Masters degree now. Joanna Dodos (Teacher)
this was my last class with Dr. G and it was just as fun as the first one i took. he took political science and thought in a way that made it fun and understandable learning about the german government was fun gonna miss his classes :)
I miss William Gudelunas! I wish I knew where he was now! He was the best professor/Teacher I ever had!
