Cake walk! I don't know if he's still doing it, but I had him fall 02 and every test was open book. If you can't ace this class, go back to high school.

dont underestimate him because of his accent, he is very smart and capable of teaching this class open book tests are easy but very time comsuming recommend reading the chapters ahead of time.

this guy was great, funny, and his class was exactly how i like them, if you know the material through his lectures and/or by reading, you should get an A

What's up with all of this prejudice anyway? I took his class a year ago and I had no difficulty understanding him.In fact,he speaks better english than many americans.He's a great teacher.Grow up.If you wanted to learn more, read the book. You bought

Why are people complaining about his English? If you don't understand, be an adult and ask him to repeat what he just said.

Hes a good professor. Class can be boring but lets you out early a lot. Likes to talk about beer. Open book and notes!! Not hard, no homework.

He is a great teacher. Very easy. How many teachers do you come across were you don't have homework and have open book tests? Yea he is hard to understand sometimes, but he repeats himself all the time. Just keep your ears open and it will go good.

great class, all the stuff from highscool just went out my ear, but Dr. Bai's lectures stuck in my head. He made the class fun and easy, i actualy learned in this class, great teacher and attitude, fun and easy

Easy teacher. Open book/open note tests makes it a little hard to get a bad grade.

Dr. Bai is a very caring, intelligent, funny professor. He is from China and holds a doctorate. You have to be a complete jackhole to fail his class. Just do him a favor and participate in lectures. I got an A-.

Yea he is hard to understand sometimes, but he repeats himself all the time. Just keep your ears open and it will go good.He is okay just study and imagine you speak another language. he is fine.

dr.Bai is a very cool teacher. I took the class blind folded and got an A. all his tests are open book tests. Don't read the bood you will actually test worse.(believe it or not!!!)

Fun class, kept things light when it got heated. Tests are VERBATIM from the text, people who say it's hard must not be able to read. Super easy A.

Dr. Bai is a cool guy. He can't speak much English, but his tests are open-book for a reason. There is absolutely no reason NOT TO GET AN A OR A- IN THIS CLASS. His tests are open-book and test questions come straight from it. Get him if you need a GPA boost.

If you pay attention, you will understand him fine. Open book tests. You have to work hard to not do well in this class. Worthwile class.

real easy open book open note test can u ask for more?

Since you have to take this class, take it with Prof Bai. He may be hard to understand for some people but if you can get used to it, he's got a lot of really intelligent things to say. Anybody should be able to get an A or a B on all his tests.

YAN BAI IS A GOOD TEACHER EVEN THOUGH HE IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND HE'S EASY. JUST GO TO CLASS AND TRY TO LISTEN AND IF THAT DOES NOT HELP READ THE CHAPTER FIRST. I WAS 7 MONTHS PREGNANT AND I MADE IT TO CLASS EVERY DAY WITH NO EXCUSE. I PASSED GOVERNMENT WITH A B AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE GOVERNMENT LIKE

this guy is one of those hidden comedians. one day we were talking about china in class someone started talking about everyone else knowing martial arts he responded that he just walked around with a brick.

Easy class, just read the chapters. This semester no open book tests, but as long as you read the chapters you will get a good grade, you take 6 exams thats it. You cant really understand everything he says but if you take ps 110 take it with proffeser bai

he is a good teacher. he is asian so he has an accent. he is a good teacher though. the class was hard. he challenges you. i took him w/ the open book and got a "C"! but he does not do that anymore. its probbaly easy now w/o the open book tests. Take him if you if want. hes a good teacher

Dr. Bai had a very heavy accent and seemed like he was going to make things very difficult on my first day of class. However, after the first day, I realized that all his tests were going to be 50-point, multiple choice questions and I was going to get 20 points added to my grade just for going to class; this class is easy if you take it with Bai.

This was a very nice teacher that would answer questions. Give him a chance. THe on-line class is easier I heard than in the class room.

He's an extremely nice man who's willing to take the time with you about anything so long as you show a bit of interest.

He is a pretty good teacher, just somewhat hard to understand, because he has a heavy Chinese accent. Overally, he isn't too bad at all. Just make sure you sit in the front of the class so you can hear him.

Hard to understand him but a nice man.

Dr Bai is a super nice guy. Fairly funny in his own way. Yes, the thick accent doesn't help, but he tries. I hate government and between my lack of interest and his boring lectures it's impossible to stay awake. Go to the online site, take the practice tests read your book and you'll do fine. Going to class I found was unneccesary except to take the tests...

Dr. Bai is a great professor if you take him online. His written english is much clearer than his spoken english and we still accomplish everything online that we would in a classroom.

Great teacher, heavy accent, but you can figure it out. It is funny to listen to a Chinese teacher who knows more about our government than we do--he has three PHd's. He is a great person. I have much respect for him. As long as you pay attention and make some effort to answer his questions in class, you will do good. (BTW, I didn't need the book.)

I loved him! If you listen to him he knows what he's talking about, and he can be quite funny at times. Sometimes a boring class, but if you just bare with him it's easy.

Horribly boring class and lectures, but what could I expect out of a gov't class? Nice guy, funny in his own way, knows his stuff though his English is rough. Tests are pretty easy as long as you read the book.

I loved his classes. I have atken three of his classes and, dispite the language barrier, he teahces in a whlistic manner. He gives you the background, not just the book info. He is very knowledgeble. He was a Chinese diplomat for some time before coming here. He also got 100 on his citizenship exam. Ais you ever go in the man's office, he ha

Good Professor!

took his online class very easy

Really awesome guy.He is REALLY funny! I am terrible in gov. so I struggled a bit, but just read the book and you will be good.He is a little hard to understand at first, but after a while you get used to it.

Ok his english is rough!!!!! But he is really nice and funny, but the grading is based on wheather he is having a good day or not!!! so good luck to you.

Give the guy a chance and he is a GREAT prof. I would not recommend sitting in the back, as he does not speak loudly, but his English is NOT that bad. Very knowledgeable of the subject, tests are from notes, review sheets and book. Not to mention, the man is hilarious!

I took the online class, and the Webtutor really is not even necessary. The tests are from the book, so if you read the chapter and post three times a week, you will not even get any points taken off!

He's great!

you guys are out of your minds this is by far the most easy class ive ever taken,he has on article due ever chapter which you can just copy and paste random stuff and one test for every chap..you get more points for showing up for class then you do doing the work,watch movies EASY AAAAAAAAAA

Take this class online. You post three times a week, once each time, and take quizzes directly out of the book. Easiest government class ever, and since it's required for most students, being able to use the book for tests is very helpful.

take this class online the tests are so easy and they are word for word out of the book and they are multiple choice questions. post 3 times and take test and you will have an A. So EASY!!! Take online!!!

I dreaded taking this class as politics/government just never interested me but this class taught me the importance of understanding politics and the importance of being aware of them. This was an online class and was a fantastic one. Assignments were easy, quizzes were from the book, and discussions were informative. Professor Bai is great!

Maybe a little bit hard to understand sometimes, but he's good otherwise. He encourages conversation and knows his stuff. He can also be quite funny. The class I took with him wasn't too hard, not too easy.

his online class is very easy tests are not timed, and they are word for word out of the book, so if you don't mind learning anything take his online class

Great class, good subject matter. Dr. Bai is one of those professors who encourages class participation and dialogue. We stayed mostly on topic (though it was an election year) and every class was interesting and fun.

Took his (required) class online. Post to discussion Board 3 days/week and take an open book test each week. Simple. I did learn alot about government in his class and I wasn't stressed out like I thought I would be!

Easiest online course I've ever taken. "Tests" online- didn't even read chapters as questions and answers are stated right in book. Post at least three times on three DIFFERENT days...15 points right there. Hmmm...any actual studying??? Nada.

I took his online class... VERY easy, Tests are not timed so you have plenty of time to look up the answers in the book, 3 discussion posts a week.. Very easy class, no reason to not get an A in this class. Yet i did learn a lot about the American government!

Great Professor. His class isn't difficult If you attend class and skim the chapter beforehand to understand the key points, and he clarifies the difficult/important topics in class. You're missing out if you don't attend class because he allows for a lot of on-topic class discussion. Take his classes if you want to learn a lot from a great prof

great professor. yeah he is a little hard to understand but he is very funny and makes the class interesting. READ THE BOOK before tests though. the notes he goes over in class doesnt cover all that will be on the tests. overall a great professor and a nice guy.

Dr. Bai is a fantastic teacher. he is difficult to understand at first but all you need to do is ask. He is very lenient but is also extremely knowledgeable. If your lazy, dont take this class. If you want a well rounded education, Dr. Bai is one of the best at GRCC.

Overall he is a great fun knowledgeable teacher. He knows what he is talking about and does his best to make class understand. I would definitely take him again. Make sure to always read the book however because notes can sometimes be confusing.

4 Tests & 4 papers. Papers are easy and tests are moderate. Some of the questions are from ?. He uses the book's test questions so it's nothing against him just the book. Did offer some extra credit to help offset.

I was in an online class, so I have no idea what he is like in person. He's very easy and doesn't weigh you down with work. The only problem I had was his lack of interaction with the class.

I took his online class and was GLAD I did! I heard from various people, the on campus class can be difficult. There was a test per chapter and 3questions per chapter on the discussion board. I highly recommend the online class, it was fairly easy with not much work other than reading and posting comments. :)

I took his online course and it was very easy. We read one chapter per week, had 3 discussion board postings, and one test per chapter. The questions on the test are directly out of the book, which you can use on the test (although if you read and understand the text you shouldn't need the book). He interacts with the class as well. Good prof.

I took this class online. It was very easy because we used the book, but very time consuming. Must post 4 of 7 days and a test every week that he encourages you to not wait till sunday for. Overall, I loved taking this class online and was very satisfied.

Every week you have to post at least 4 times a week in a discussion board, and you have one test every week ranging from 60-72 questions. All the questions are straight from the book, but it is time consuming. But you write no papers or essays or have any projects so the class is an easy A.

You will have to post 4 DB and a test each week. The tests are not timed, and he urges you to use your book. The test ?'s are straight from the book. Just take your time looking for the answers and you'll get an A in the class. No other work outside of tests and DB.

Currently, I am taking PS 110 online course with this Professor. He does require a lot in discussion boards, but if you follow his syllabus and answer the questions correctly, it should be pretty straight forward. I like the fact that he does not require a cumulative final exam, only Chapter tests each week. I recommend his online class.

He has a accent that is sometimes hard to understand, but he is a pretty good, informative professor.

EASY A! Seriously, take online. Do not waste your time going to a class. All you have to do is read a chapter each week, take a test each week BUT (it is not timed and it is open book!) SO UM 100% on every test. Have to answer 4 questions on discussion board (each question on a different day). NO PAPERS, NOTHING. Easiest class I have taken by far.

Favorite class, easy A. Just do the work. Tests are easy no papers. Everything is right from the book.

I took PS 110 online and I really enjoyed the class. As everyone else has stated, we read 1 chapter a week, had 4 discussion board questions assigned that had to be answered on 4 different days and 1 chapter test at due at the end of the week. The tests are untimed, you just cannot go back on a question. Only emailed once, he answered right away.

I really enjoyed this online class. Surprisingly, I actually learned things from the tests every week. The tests are 60-70 questions per week, but they're not timed and all of the answers are in the textbook word for word. There are four 150 word discussion boards every week, but they're really easy. It was an easy A for me, and I would recommend!

He is a very interesting man but in a good way. He says some funny things and he also shares some corny jokes which makes the class the best. His lectures do feel like forever but it is an easy class if you do all the extra credit. The tests are pretty hard, but if you read the book, take the little tests in it, review your notes you'll do fine.

Although he may have an accent, please don't take that as a reflection of his teaching. His accent is not as major as some people on here are making it sound, and it doesn't change what is taught. Having only the tests graded was a bit of a pain since it only means having 5 items to grade from, but if you read the book and study you should be fine.

4 discussion posts and an open book exam each week. Get the kindle book and you can search every question. pretty easy. The way it should be.

Read the book. Did I mention to read the book?

This class is way to much for summer. On-line posts four times a week for attendance with 150 word count two questions each day. Plus two tests each week with at least 65 questions. This is not east unless your a young student who doesn't work and has no kids and this is the only class you take.

TAKE POLI SCI ONLINE- it is so much easier online than in class. NO ESSAYS. One quiz and test per week, both open book. No final. 4 discussion board posts required per week, but it is totally doable.

Online class was super straightforward. Reading and response type questions. A lot of using your own thoughts and opinions. Easy assignments, but lots of writing.

Online class, discussion boards and quizzes.

Very straight forward. Clearly lined out what was due. Very structured and easy to get ahead.

PI110 was a cakewalk with Professor bai. Weekly online discussions and Test when required. Nothing more nothing less. Take Bai for PS110

Tan Bai is a passionate teacher when it comes to lecturing on Political Science. He is very soft-spoken, so I had a hard time hearing everything he discussed in class. But what you'll need to do to pass his class is to read the chapters for each exam-take notes too. The online portion was an easy way to get a decent grade in his class.

Easy online class. One test a week and you can stop and resume as much as you want, which is good because they can be pretty lengthy with 60-80 questions! Doesn't do a cumulative exam. Easy to reach by email.

The online class is incredibly simple. Post in the discussion 4 times a week, take a 20 question quiz and a 46 question test (unlimited time with resume later options). DO NOT BUY THE BOOK! I didn't use the book the entire semester and I got 100%. Complete waste of money. ANYTHING you need to know can be found with a quick google search.

Dr. Yan Bai's online class was pleasant. Read the chapter, take a quiz and a test, and make 4 structured discussion posts/week. He was easy to reach by email. I feel like I learned a ton.

Let me start off by saying I loved Professor Bai! You could definitely tell that he has a passion for what he teaches. But.. if you consider yourself an "Auditory Learner" you may want to choose a different professor because his accent is THICK and he speaks very QUIETLY. Sit near the FRONT if you do have him. Great professor in all other aspects.

The homework is consistent every week, so you know exactly what is expected. The textbook assigned was bearable. I actually feel liked I've learned something which is fairly rare with online classes. Would recommend for those who are independent and self starters.

Extremely easy class. Do the work and you'll get an A. Every week you read a chapter, answer a few questions, and take a quiz. You also must answer 2 of the 4 questions he posts in the discussion board every weeks. 500 minimum word count. This was the hardest part, but only took 20 minutes. No final exam. Highly recommend this online class!

I took this class online and it went great. His grading criteria is straight forward. The course consisted on 2 discussion boards a week, 2 mindtap assignments (which can be done unlimited amounts of times until you get an 100%, if you'd like), and a test every week on the chapter that was assigned that specific week. He grades fairly, easy A.

I was nervous to take a class with professor Bai given the mixed reviews but I was pleasantly surprised and would absolutely take again. I took the online class, the grading criteria was straightforward and consistent. If you did your work your grade will reflect that. No complaints.

I took this prof for PS 110 in the summer semester. I was so nervous because of the online format. I had trouble with my Cengage code and emailed him. He emailed me before class started to make sure that I was good! Class consisted of watching a video, answering questions, taking a test and writing a 300 word essay. Great prof and cares about you!

Professor Bai is bar far the most organized online professor I've taken a class with. As a full-time online student - this is SO helpful. His expectations are clear and comprehensive. Liked him so much, also too another class with him. Highly recommend.

My second class with Professor Bai. He's very organized in the online platform which is great. This 200-level class was definitely more difficult than the 100-level I took with him, which is appropriate in my opinion. Best advice? Do the reading and you'll do well on the weekly tests.

Im not sure if its because the class is online, but it is quite a bit of reading and homework. However, it is all interesting material and very relevant to whats going on in the world right now. Prof. Bai gives great feedback on essays and is easy to reach with questions. Its a lot of work but I have enjoyed his class!

Every week we did the same thing. A few assignments on mindtap, a short paper, and a test. There are plenty of points to help boost your grade. The tests are open book. Overall, good class if you do the work.

Great Professor! His syllabus makes the class sound like a cold, uncaring environment but he is a fair and just teacher who cares about his students. Lots of reading but the tests, essays and quizzes are all reasonable.

really great guy! he is very understanding and will do everything he can to ensure you pass. def knows his stuff but you will have to study to receive an A.. and this is coming from a polisci major..

Pretty decent professor. Im taking him again for another class and I feel good about that choice. Theres 4 assignments each week: quiz (cengage), assignment on cengage, short essay, test. Gives good feedback on the essay. Pretty average workload and class, I enjoyed it and Im not a huge fan of the subject even.

I was nervous about this class. Excuse I have sever anxiety around tests. But the laid back and structured grading criteria were so helpful. I knew going into the week what was expected that week and every week. I was never overwhelmed. I would take a class with this professor again in a heartbeat.

I found this course to be useful and I learned a lot. A total of 65 quiz questions per week on top of a 500-word minimum essay. The essays were engaging and thought-provoking and encouraged researching different perspectives on issues. It's a tough class, being a 4-credit hour course, but I would absolutely recommend it to anybody.
