This class sucks, but Professor Mycoff helps you through it. He posted the lectures online so you didn't have to attend, but would do breakout rooms every day to work on the assignments in the book. He's really patient with all your questions, and will explain the same thing 5 times if he has to. Put time and effort and you'll get an A.

Prof Mycoff clearly knew what he was doing and was nice to the students. He definitely wanted to hear what we had to say. The lectures could be a little dry sometimes. If you do your weekly quizzes and can write a decent paper, you'll be just fine.

Professor Mycoff is an amazing professor. The course material he taught was well explained and easy to understand. There were 15 quizzes, 3 exams and a final. The exams were essay based and very easy to complete. The quizzes were easy as long as you read the chapters. There were in-class assignments that were homework if not finished. Easy A.

Mycoff's a good guy and always knows what he's talking about. Some ppl dislike his class b/c he can be dry and the lectures feel long. He's a fair grader and gives you easy clicker quizzes that boost your grade. My advice is definitely read from the textbook and study guide for exams. He is always there to help you. It's not that hard to get an A

POSC300 is not an easy class, it's kind of the Black Sheep of PoliSci classes at UD. Dr. Mycoff is definitely the guy you want to take this class with. He understands we're not Stat majors. Very patient with explaining the simplest of things. Exams are hard, but put the effort in and you'll pass the class. Mycoff rocks.

Mycoff is a good professor that explains things concisely. The weekly discussion groups are very helpful in breaking down the lectures into more digestible information. The tests can be difficult, but the study guides help. Mycoff can be dry, but is overall a decent professor, and is helpful outside of the classroom as well.

If you go to the lectures or watch them on udcapture you will be fine. Mycoff was a good professor who was able to explain everything that he was saying in a simple and understanding way. Has discussions every week that are helpful for explaining the lectures that week. Overall was a pretty easy class you just have to put the work in.

I loved this class, especially the Congress simulation! It is a lot of work and a student needs to work throughout semester (not just in the last few weeks). It can be confusing, but Dr. Mycoff will clarify if you ask! My advice is to get as involved in the simulation as possible. Dr. Mycoff is a great professor and I recommend taking his class!

So hes kind of confusing in what exactly it is you need to do, but if you ask he'll clarify. 50% of your grade is the simulation and of that 50% a lot of it is your portfolio assignment. A lot of us didnt realize that he literally had everything that we needed to do written out until 2 weeks before the semester and it would've helped our/work grade

Mycoff was very confusing in his expectations for the course and legislative days. It takes awhile to learn what he wants.

I took 300 over winter session to minimize the pain and if you are scared about the class I would recommend the same. Mycoff is easy to understand and is very helpful. His exams aren't hard if you do the work and go to class. Made this class A LOT easier than what it is during a regular semester. Very nice and easy grader. TAKE HIM FOR 300!

Perhaps my favorite professor thus far at UD. He is tough but an outstanding teacher and will help you as long as you put forth some measure of effort. I believe he is the head of the Political Science department and is extremely knowledgeable in his field of study. You have to earn your grade but he sets you up for success. Great professor

Professor Mycoff was amazing. He clearly outlines what will be on test and gives you a list of possible short answers for every exam. His quizzes are super easy, they're either vocab based or easy simulations. It's important to read the book for quizzes and exams, though. He's also a super caring guy and will work with you if you reach out to him!

Not hard at all. Just go to class and do the readings. Mycoff gives study guides with potential test questions, so def study from those as well as memorize the bolded words in the textbook. There are quizzes and participation points, so don't skip class too often (you get some freebies). There's one essay, but it's not graded too hard.

Professor Mycoff is great at what he does. I really enjoyed that he used lecture to relate content back to real world scenario. Although it is a large lecture hall, he managed to keep me engaged. There are 3 exams (no final) and 1 position paper. Position paper is not difficult and exams are straight forward. I'd recommend this class!

If you have to take this class for your major, take it with Prof. Mycoff. The lectures are posted on UD Capture and he gives you study guides for the exams. However you don't want to miss class, because you never know when he's going to have a quiz or take attendance. Although he announced our quiz dates a few days before the quiz. 3 exams&1paper.

Comment:
Congress was a ton of fun. The exams are really really easy, which is good because the simulation is most of your grade. The simulation is a lot of fun if more people participate. It is a huge group project, but at the same time, really fun. You write laws and simulate congress. The portfolio compilation is best if not left for the day before.
