Comment:
This professor is really nice and very passionate about his subject. He is an easy A, but attendance is a MUST in order to receive that A. Other than that, just show up, do the assignments and you're good to go. BTW, he randomly takes attendance at the beginning and at the end of class, so if you leave, BEWARE! You will be marked as absent.

Professor Wilkins is a very knowledgeable on Public Administration because he works in the field! I really enjoyed his class because of this. I took him because I wanted to learn about it. I just liked his class over all. I have taken his class in the past and love it too.

I have no idea what the rater proceeding my rating is rambling about. This is a 300 level public adm class. What do you expect? Take home final and midterm, but you exchange this for mandatory attendance. This class is a breeze, an easy A. Take him if you can.

SUCH AN EASY CLASS. Attendance is mandatory, which SUCKS. Midterm & Final are take-home, so you don't need to waste time taking notes and paying attention. I used the International Version. It's the EXACT SAME. I used it to do Midterm & Final, and got an A in the class.

Great teacher! Would recommend highly. What he taught has been very useful in my job. He cares about the students learning. It is fairly easy to get an A. Go to class. Take home midterm and final and one paper. Learned a lot.

Comment:
Take home midterm & final, two easy 6-8 page papers with no need for citations. The only down side is too many people took advantage of his kindness and starting leaving class after 30 min. So now he takes attendance twice a meeting, beginning and end of class. Staying an hour and a half of a 3 hour class is a cheap price to pay for an easy A!

Easy easy class. He takes attendance, and it's worth 20 pts. 2 take home tests and 1 8-10 pg essay, each worth 100 pts. I got a 100 in this class w/o trying all that hard. Didn't really pay attn during lecture, but I did read the textbook. Show him some respect though; he may bore you, but he's so so nice and helpful.

Wow is this class easy. Grade consists of a take home midterm, 8-10 pg essay, take home final, and attendance. Just sign in and let yourself wander while he lectures since the lectures are pretty boring. Very nice man though; willing to answer all questions you've got. You get out of class way early (usually around 8:30). Easy A.

this teacher makes me doubt the integrity of my degree. joke of a class, easiest A's ever. goes of on meaningless tangents about his personal experiences in public organizations. its embarrasing to see how so many people walk out on his classes. if you want to raise your GPA, take Wilkins.

Comment:
Excellent teacher with superior knowledge. Unfortunately he has to dumb down his lectures for the CJA students and probably because SDSU students in general aren't that bright. It's really too bad because I was really looking forward to this class and only re-learned what I had already known from polisci 101 & 102.

Really easy class. Take home exams and 1 paper. Got an A. All you have to do is show up and follow his requested format for the test. All answers happen to be given in the lecture so I don't think I really cracked the book except to get the definitions to answer his take home exams.
