Comment:

His book is the worst piece of partisan garbage I have ever read. Few citations and nothing but misleading disinformation and hyperbole. He has no right to be allowed to teach political science. Students lose knowledge just by entering into his narrow Reaganite realm. It's 2020. Catch up Neo-cons.

I took his online 8-week class. Your grade is a few tests and written assignments. The tests are straight from the reading (there's A LOT of reading but it's interesting) but the written assignments are a bit unclear and he doesn't give feedback. Overall I enjoyed the class/ learned a lot and the prof is pretty laid back but not very engaged.

I loved him! I was always wary of taking a class with him because of the reviews on here but he was my favorite professor this semester. It was an online class and I still learned a lot. Homework was easy; just a few quizzes (with 2 attempts), and a couple of short essays throughout the semester. I would take him again!

He makes you 2 buy books that he wrote and is most likely making money off of them. This is a community college class, he should be respectful of our financial situations. Not only do those books have terrible grammar, but they are pushing his own views on his students. Even his questions are asked in a way that the response is pro liberal.

What is really important in that class is that you show up and you turn things in. He is a wonderful teacher. He cares about his students and knows what he is doing. Although the content may be boring it is not his fault as it just wasn't something I am interested in.

The text you will use are his own books, which he wrote, clearly through a liberal lens. He routinely puts down conservatism and republicans as the party of evil, while simply ignoring everything bad the democratic party has done. Braunwarth is a great example of having a bias and pushing it onto his students, which perpetuates a problem in the US

Not very clear on what he wants. He is clearly biased in his grading. He changes his syllabus as the class goes on, adding more exams. Makes you buy his own textbook.

He does not respond to your emails in a timely manner. He waits until the last minute to grade your work as well. The textbooks are written by him which cost $100 and you can not rent them. Avoid if possible

This professor is a very hard grader and has no sympathy for you. He is very hard to access outside of class as well. He goes off on his own agenda and will go off topic quite often. He is very unorganized and makes you do a lot of work that is unnecessary.

Professor Braunwarth makes you work for every point as he is a very hard grader. Has unrealistic expectations when it comes to reading and assignments. It seemed like he thought that you do nothing except his class. Stay away if possible

Appreciated his emails on upcoming events/inspiring messages. Took him twice, but I dreaded the fact that he always gave me a 18/20 even when I did my best on an assignment. He offered extra credit, multiple times. His books were straight to the point and manageable!

He respects the fact that you have other classes and tries to keep your workload light during the last few weeks of school for finals. We had online quizzes and tests which were easy if you read the corresponding chapters. He gets distracted in lectures but is really funny!

Mr. Braunwarth is an amazing professor, his lectures are hilarious and you will leave this class knowing a lot more about politics and what's going on in government.

If you read, go to class and do the work you'll do fine. Dr. Braunwarth is a great Professor who is passionate about political science. Some of the things he says can be offensive but in reality he is joking. A simple side conversation to clarify with him is all it takes. He always makes class material relevant. You'll never be bored in his class
