Comment:
He's a nice guy and all...but the way he runs this class is absolutely insane. He says a million words a minute during lecture, which makes it impossible to take notes (no Power Points). The tests are 7-8 different essays we are supposed to memorize. And then there are the "think pieces"...the worst assignments EVER created. Get ready.

Kind of like going to church for government. Dr E is very entertaining and a great speaker. Reads from note cards and can throw a lot of info at you. He's fascinating though, and helpful if you ask. 3 tests + non-cumul final. Lowest of the 4 grades gets dropped. A few chances for extra credit. Movie nights, but you just show up to get credit.

The best professor at JMU. How this man is not at UVa or an Ivy league school baffles me. He is among the best lecturers I've had the pleasure of listening to. His discussions are insightful and his classes are legitimately interesting and stimulate thought and forces the student to grow intellectually. Build your schedule around him!

really hard tests, expects you to know a ridiculous about of information about literally everything. Don't take him unless you have time to spend reading the entire textbook and some other book he wrote...too much work unless u like government

His tests definitely require you to read the textbook, but they're relatively easy. His lectures are very interesting, especially if you are interested in how Government really works - a really nice, funny guy as well, one of the best I've had at JMU.

This class is kind of intimidating, mostly because it's so much material and he's so brilliant. He's a terribly nice guy. He's a fair grader and it's generally interesting material. The exams are all essay and difficult, but as long as you pay attention during the lectures and do the discussion questions, you'll be fine.

Professor is a nice guy. Had 170 students in class so it was all lecture. The course content is challenging and thats not his fault, so be sure to read the text book thoroughly before each of the 4 exams (including final). He is a smart individual who loves what he is talking about and will make you love it too, even if government isn't your thing.

Comment:
A pretty nice guy, really knowledgable about the topic, but I'm not completely happy with the way he runs the course. Really rigid grading policies, his tests are ridiculous (try memorizing six essay outlines, where each essay question contains about 4 questions within itself!) I'm not really a fan of his teaching style, but it's an okay class.

Comment:
In my undergrad and graduate career I have taken close to 300 credit hours and Eksterowicz is the worst teacher I ever had. My only C at JMU was because of him. I did the assignment he said in class and not the one listed in the syllabus, which he did not follow. Since I turned in the "wrong" assignment he gave me a zero. Completely unfair.

Really enthusiastic teacher who loves what he does. Read the book for the test and go to class! Tests can be hard but go to class, read, and do the review sheets and you will be fine. Go to the movies too, the points really help in the end.

Best/smartest professor at JMU so far. He is so good at keeping your attention and keeping you excited about the subject. He clearly loves what he teaches and it makes you want to learn it and do well. He wants everyone to succeed and is actually pretty funny. If you have the chance to take him, PLEASE do!

This is guy is the best public speaker ever! He is so clever that you never know what side of the political spectrum he's on. Warning, if you don't study, you will not do good at all. This is a must!
