Ed is the best teacher I have ever had and makes public administration the most interesting subject available, by being very knowledgeable,and quick to use an example from Maine and around the world (with a funny story attached). Grades difficultly, but appropriately. If you plan to grasp the subject at hand, you must go to every class. Great beard

Comment:
looks like a lumberjack, but knows his material very well. tests are somewhat hard, but if you study and go to class, you will be alright. the trickiest test questions for me were the "in this chapter, the author stated an opinion. do you agree or disagree" if you don't read, this proves to be a problem.

Best way to pass this class is to figure out HIS views on the subject, and make sure that your own match his.

Hands down the best prof at UM. Awesome stories that make you laugh at politics. We are lucky to have him at Maine. Probably the most real professor in history considering he went to UM as an undergrad. Has really bizarre office hours...but you'll never need them.

Prof. Laverty is by far my favorite professor. He knows a lot and speaks very intelligently. He keeps you interested in material that could otherwise be boring if it is not your particular niche. I give a high recommendation for Ed!
