Comment:
Warhola is a wonderful professor. He expects you to know the subject matter at hand and to be able to think critically about it, but understands if you may not grasp it all. Lots of papers, but gives you multiple chances to revise and do better. Smartest professor I've ever had. Guy is a living legend.

Although this class was difficult, if you show up and study for the quizzes and exams you'll do fine. There were 3 quizzes and 3 exams, each exam he gives you a study guide, if you work through it you will get a great grade. If you put in the effort with this class it is fairly easy.

Warhola's a funny man! Super nice and a great prof. Good lectures and has funny mannerisms that make his class that much more enjoyable! Answers all questions. Only have 3 tests - 40+ multiple choice and one or two short essay questions - def study. Tests do refer to the textbook alot, but he says a lot of the textbook in class as well.

You can tell he is really smart and enjoys what he teaches. I found the subject boring but everyone else seemed to like it. He makes study guides for each test and sticks to them. He doesn't always take attendance but he tests over a lot of in class materials.

Great professor! I never thought "Politics of Eurasia" would be so interesting. Professor Warhola is very passionate about the subjects he teaches.

Great professor who is really passionate about the subject (Russian Politics).A lot of work, but very honest with expectations. 2 Exams, 1 Research Paper, and the Final. Do the reading and attend class regularly and you'll get an easy A.

A great professor, worth taking multiple classes with. His breadth of knowledge seems boundless. Classes are worth attending. He does expect his students to do a lot of work (the assigned readings), but if you push yourself intellectually in his class you will rewarded with a grade that you deserve and an having learned from one of best.

I found Warhola to be an amazing teacher! While sometimes the longer lectures with him can become boring, it's more that the topic isn't as exciting sometimes. Only odd thing is how much he hates to give out As, so if you get an A- or B+, it's practically perfect! haha

He is by far one of the best professors I have encountered at the University of Maine. His knowledge of International Affairs and Political Science is boundless. His lectures are always worth attending. He rarely goes off topic and yet always manages to infuse a bit of humor into his lectures. I can't wait to take more of his classes next year.

Amazing professor and probably one of the best at UMaine. Extremely knowledgeable about Russia and Eurasia. Lectures are interesting and worthwhile. He cares A LOT about student progress and if students are succeeding in his class. Take his classes - you won't regret it!

Easily one of the best professors at the University. His classes are always worth attending, Russian politics especially. He's extremely engaging, and very objective. Really great sense of humor as well. He can be long-winded, but it's in the best way possible. He cares about his students and does everything he can to clarify what he's teaching.

He has to be one of the best professors in the entire University. The students are the first priority on his list. His classes are worth attending and is always willing to help you. And if you are an Ohio State football fan, you're guaranteed an 'A'... okay not really, but it won't hurt you.
