Comment:
i've had tom for every paa class he teaches. he is very intelligent on paper, but public speaking is not his thing. look up double-talk on youtube and this is what his lectures are like. once said "um" 153 times in a 50 minute class. grades easily and willing to help, but hard to pull coherency out of lectures. very nice man, cares about students

Comment:
He couldn't seem to form a coherent sentence and often lost his train of thought. Very vague.Lectures were very dull, the book wasn't very useful. Didn't feel like I learned anything about public administration that wasn't general public knowledge already. Not very applicable to the real world.

Comment:
Very long-winded. Most of his lectures could be summarized into very, very short five minute summaries. Also tends to assignment hundreds of pages of reading. A fair grader and very helpful, just not great with the lecturing and reading assignments.

This class is a total waste. Boring and to busy preaching his political beliefs (liberal) to teach.

Comment:
Class is boring. If you can sit through class and takes good notes your all set, but that is hard b/c you want to fall asleep. A good guy and tests are pretty straight foward.

A good professor with a dry, yet pleasantly caustic, sense of humor. Expect lots of reading and written assignments.
