Comment:
Durham is a great teacher and a good man. He cares about every one of his students, and will help them in any way he can. The class isn't easy and he's a tough-ish grader, but that's because he wants his students to learn as much as possible. Take this class if you want to be intellectually challenged and learn about the world. Email him for help!

Pros: Incredibly respectful regardless of your personal beliefs, loves his students, passionate about everything. Cons: Least organized person I've ever met (esp. when it comes to grading and assigning stuff), gives a HUGE workload for a class most people took as an elective. Love the guy, but wouldn't take more than 1 class with him.

Comment:
While Roger Durham is definitely a tough grader, and definitely liberal, he balances his classroom and doesn't persecute anyone for a belief unless it's not well thought out or factually supported. If you want to share an opinion, you'd better be ready to back it up. Overall, he's one of the most caring and brightest professors at AQ.

Incredible professor. Doesn't make his class tricky like some, he genuinely wants you to learn from his class as opposed to regurgitating information without knowing the significance behind it. So funny and makes class entertaining and interesting.

Comment:
One of my favorite professors at Aquinas, and I'm not even PoliSci. It's a tough class but if you pay attention, you'll succeed. Durham is really accessible if you seek him out for help, he even came in on weekends to help study for the mid-term and final. He's really passionate about polisci and about the success of his students. Highly recommend!

Comment:
Extremely difficult, the course title accurately describes the class: World in Crisis; or better put by Dr. Durham, himself: Your World in Crisis. Very informative class, enjoyed it a lot despite its difficulty and depressing topic. Although I differed with him opinion-wise, he never marked my grade down due to a differing opinion.

Comment:
World in Crisis was far and above the best class I took at Aquinas and the reason was because of Dr D. His lectures are always interesting and his personality is infectious. I highly highly recommend taking at least one if not more of his courses!

The professor I've had so far, you can tell that PoliSci is his passion. He is critical of both liberals and conservatives- he doesn't persecute people for their belief's, but he will tear you apart if you make a nonsensical argument. He is very willing to help out if you're in need- check out some of his books. WIC and MUN are great.

I have taken many classes with Dr. Durham - none are easy, but you walk out with a new world perspective. He is brilliant. Go to class, it isnt required, but if you dont you will suffer. He is a great prof. Highly recommended.

Doc is undoubtedly one of the best professors I have ever had the fortune of working with, primarily because he is enthusiastic and consistently encourages his students in their work and their goals. Very bright, infectious energy. contrary to what the haters say, Doc doesn't hate conservatives, he just hates illogical arguments. clarity + cite = A

Doc is one tough cookie, but you learn quite a lot. Most of the time he has rather intelligent arguments, but I was surprised by some of the cliche liberal straws he was tossing my way during some of our discussions. If you want an A, read every book he mentions and watch all the videos he tells you to and goto his office frequently.

If you want a decent grade, go along with his liberal misguidings...if you utter anything remotely conservative, your grade will most likely suffer. He's a nice guy that simply can't put his politics away during class.
