Comment:
I was warned not to take his class and lets just say, i should have listened! His lectures are dry and at times he seems to be speaking of two different topics at the same time! Not much help when asking questions either. If you read the books(4!), do the essay and extra credit you'll do fine. READ if your taking his class and if you can, AVOID!

Comment:
Funny old man, very sweet. Unfortunately, that is all. His lectures are very insufficient for the mass subject matter that is on the tests. You either need to read every chapter covered in each test, or have a detailed knowledge of our gov. system to ace each test. Class grade was all test.

HONESTLY!! he's not as bad as people are making him sound. im currently enrolled, my final is next week eek*. But you do HAVE to read the chapters or atleast know the key terms and go to class! (mandatory). HIs lectures arent that bad!! and the notes carry some importance on the tests. DO ALL THE EXTRA CREDIT or you wont get an A.

Do your self a favor and do all the extra credit. Also, he loves to hear himself talk. Lectures and book with be on the test, but his lectures have nothing to do with the book. Have fun... not!

AWFUL teacher!! I had to buy 6 books for the class, and believe me, he expected us to read every single word of each. I studied very hard for each of his exams and never pulled off higher than a B. No matter I am getting close to a 4.0 and I was forced to drop at the last minute. If you value your time and your GPA, DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!

DIFFICULT, I got a B, but I studied, read the chapters, did every extra credit assignment. The class is fun, the teacher is funny. take him if you enjoy challenges or do the homework. One more thing, is a little like high school; once class is in session, no bathroom breaks! Besides that, he's a great guy! very funny guy!

He is a really cool guy but will talk about endless things not pertaining to the subject. He is understanding and requires you to do a huge amount of reading. Its hard to prepare for his tests as you have no idea what is on it!

OK, do the extra credit. Do all of it or there is no way you can get an A. That being said, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. He is very smart, but the tests are on like 7-9 chapters and there is no way of knowing exactly what will be on the test. Run. Run as fast as you can. I am getting close 2 a 4.0 and I think he may be the hardest teacher at Pierce

Do Not take his class unless you are prepared to work hard and still not get an A. He requires you to read the entire textbook and all the test material is extracted from the reading. NO study guides ever. He is also very forgetful and will not admit when he is wrong. Worst teacher so far at Pierce!

This teacher is horrible. He isnt good at teaching, and i think hes loseing his hearing, if you ask a question, get ready to repeat it a few times. The one good thing about him is he gives alot of extra credit, but you have to read chapters everynight, and he wont go over it!

Professor should retire. He treats the class like a bunch of 4 year olds. Don't bother getting up to go to the bathroom because he will just ask you to leave the class. If you read the text the tests will be easy for you. Professor is distracted very easily and cannot have the blinds or doors open so you feel like you are trapped in a dungeon f

Took this class because it's a requirement for Poli Sci majors. Don't take if you're NOT required. Assigns a bunch of readings, but never goes over them in class. Talks too much about Iraq and not about other world issues. And definitely gives you his opinion on issues more than necessary. Not a good teacher overall.
