He is great! Mandatory is a must!!! He takes attendance everyday. You will only have a Midterm, Hypothesis paper, Od-ed and Final. All of them will be taken in Canvas. You really need to read and take notes in order to understand the topics. You get limited time (1hr 15 minutes) to write your papers in canvas. You really need to be prepared.

Amazing professor. His syllabus clarifies all assignments and expectations. He assigns weekly readings and 15% of your grade is based on participation so be sure to come to class. He is very willing to help you and even meet outside office hours.

Very knowledgable, but a bit arrogant. Excellent lectures. 12 page research paper, but encourages you to ask for help. (Can be condescending when you do.) Weekly discussion boards are 10% of your grade. Tests are hard, but he grades fairly. 3 essay questions which are unpredictable. You have only 75 minutes to do it.

TAKE HIM!!! He knows what he is talking about! I learned so much in this class. It will change your perspective on Latin American countries and immigration. He is very helpful and willing to work with students.

Very knowledgeable professor. Lectures are interesting, but a little dry. If you don't go to class you're not gonna pass the exams. Super helpful with the research paper. The class isn't easy, but if you want to learn then you should take him.

Very well informed professor. He expects a lot because he wants the students to learn. Tests are very hard, and although attendance is not mandatory, he does take attendance every day and if you miss a lecture you will pay for it during the midterm and the final. Very fair and knowledgable.

Knows exactly what he's talking about. Exams come right from the lectures and his draft chapters he puts on Moodle. Very helpful when it comes time to write your paper for him. Attendance is more lenient than other teachers but you miss alot when you don't come. Good teacher, I'm taking him again.

There is no need to even buy the book for this class. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you want a good grade you'll be there. Tests are strictly from lectures. There is a ton of material. Only two tests and some quizzes make up your grade.

Does not teach along with the book but tests and quizzes come from both reading and lecture. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you want to get a good grade I would recommend going to class. Not too helpful and somewhat arrogant. Quizzes very easy and as long as you keep up with the reading and go to class at least once a week test aren't too bad.

This is the second time I've taken this professor, and the second time I've regretted it. Hard grader, and not very willing to help as far as I have seen. Gives 11 possible essay questions and three will be on the exam, but they are hard questions and very time consuming. I don't say this very often, but if you can avoid, do it. One 10 pager.

i love him! on his tests he usually has a mixture of multiple choice/essay/fill-in-the-blank...he usuallly tries to take attendance at the beginning of the semester but then eventually quits....teaches from power points and makes it easy to take notes...doesnt really use the books, gives study guides for tests/quizzes....a MUST for poly-sci!

I really enjoy this class. You definitely need to study and go to class, but the tests and quizzes are straightforward. He encourages a lot of discussion, which makes the class interesting. He's obviously very smart-and cute.

I took this professor for 3 different classes- the other two were 1130 (Comparative Politics) and 3144 (Latin American Politics). He is a very supportive and understanding teacher, but he won't let you get away without doing your work. And though you talk about the readings, you will probably be ok to skim them for important points. Uses WebCT A++

Interesting, humorous and straight forward teaching style. Good lectures. He chooses the exam questions word-for-word from a study guide - very fair as essay tests go. He uses WebCT for reading assignments and to post grades. I enjoyed the class even though POLS isn't my major. Also, he's attractive in a intelllectual sort of way.
