Niemi is a brilliant teacher. You would have to attend an Ivy League school to find such a great Professor. Simply put, the best Prof. in the US for the cost.

Comment:
I'm a Poli Sci major and I found this guy incomprehensible, monotonous and mean to students. I'm hoping to transfer out to a better school, maybe George Mason University, where there are profs who really know their stuff. What can I say--it's what you get at Wasted State!

Comment:
All these people that complain about Niemi are business majors and don't like to have to use their brain. He is the best teacher at Western. He is fair and will help you if you ask. The test and papers are graded pretty easy.

I read these comments at the start of the term and thought that these people must all be big whiners, but the other week I came to class late for a good reason and I too was made a fool of, where does this guy get off, and he is not even a good teacher

Comment:
He is the worst teacher I've ever had. Picture this...he sits at his desk and speaks with his head down. I could make a 4 course meal and he would never even know. The sides of his mouth have white stuff coming from it. ewww! Me taking this class was a mistake. Avoid HIM at all costs. He is so hard to comprehend.

Comment:
I was absolutely made a fool of a few weeks ago because I came to class late. I had to take my kid to daycare because my wife was sick. It was totally unexpected and he would not even let me explain the reason why I was late. Not a good experience. Thinking of dropping.

Comment:
I took his class hoping to learn something about con law. I did everything required on the syllabus and still got a D. I think that its because I announced in class that I am an evangelical and a libertarian conservative.

Comment:
This guy appears to know his stuff. But he has not published anything, books articles or even a book review. I would like a teacher who is a better scholar. He also takes a very strong ideological position in his teaching.

This guy got tenure and changed. He used to be really cool and respectful. Now he just does anything to humiliate anyone in his class and make himself look good.

He does not even try to make you like what he teaches. He just expects you to like reading long court cases. His tests are too hard.

He was really cool the first day. Then he got real combative and intolerant of differences of opinion. He does not like conservatives.

I walked into class one day because my car had a difficult time starting. He was very cruel and humiliated me in front of the whole class. This made me not like the prof and the class.

I thought that this prof was kinda cool until one day my car broke down and I hitched to school and made it to his class 5 minutes late. He humiliated me in front of the whole class. Not a nice guy.
