All the exams are 100 true or false questions and many are trick questions. Harder than short answer would be.

Comment:
Dr. Baugh is very passionate when teaching but if you disagree with her, she will argue with you. She also shares her opinions a little bit too much especially for someone teaching this class. Her tests are impossible. I would make 100+ note cards to prepare and still wouldn't get the best grade. The class average for tests ranged between 50-80

Comment:
Dr. Baugh is fun loving and a total sweetie IF you get on her good side. She likes when kids participate. I love politics and most lectures were interesting. However, there is a lot of reading and the exams are very hard. If you do not work hard you will not get a good grade.

This is probably the hardest class I've ever taken. It is CRUCIAL that you read for class otherwise you won't do good on the quizzes on Friday, participation is huge and goes toward your final grade, and exams are impossible and you will study for hours on end. She is passionate about what she teachers, but I would recommend a different teacher.

She is very passionate in what she teaches and is very cute. However, when it comes down to it the tests are pretty hard and you need to actually work for your grade.

Comment:
Great person, but extremely biased professor. Dr Baugh certainly had an agenda to this class, you could see it in the essays that were assigned and the focus of the lectures. Dr Baugh had a hard time seeing things from different perspectives and at times even ignored alternative opinions and docked points on essays simply for a differing opinion.

I have done well in governmentpolitical science classes in the past, however, these tests are near impossible to do well on. She also has a really strict attendance policy and will take your phone if you have it out in class.

Dr. Baugh is a GREAT professor. She really wants her students to understand the material and she is really very nice. The class is over some very hard stuff but she definitely makes it better.

Hated this class I love Politics but her tests are un-passible even if you study. You can do ok in the class but very difficult to pass the test even with work.

Awesome professor who really gets you interested in the subject. If you do not do assigned readings, you will not do good in this class. You are graded for the work you put in. All-around interesting class and good professor. I recommend her if you're a hard worker.

She is extremely nice, fair, and helpful. Her class requires you to work hard and do ALL reading and COME to class. The exams are tough, but if you study you can get A's. I achieved an A in the class and I had to work very hard to get it. Fav class and prof hands down.. you will learn a ton if you put in the time and effort.

Very interesting subject but the professor makes the class very difficult. I wouldn't recommend the class if you are looking for a GPA boost because of the UP. I am an "A" student and I am struggling!

Dr. Baugh is really interested in what she teaches however her tests are impossible, 100 true/false questions, and she makes you read around 70 pages a night in your textbooks. Avoid her at all costs.

Very nice person, but she tried to deny me disability accommodations. It took me weeks to sort that out and It probably to late for me to get more than a B in the class because of it.

She is a extremely difficult professor. You must read to pass the class with a C, and don't skip class because it is a huge part of your grade, showing up just for the exams and quizzes will not work.

Reading is key in this class. There are quizes almost every week and exams are based 100% off the reading. Make sure to do it cause exams are pretty tough and no form of a study guide is offered, almost everyone in my class failed the first exam. Overall, Baugh is a really good teacher. She's tough and pushes you to work hard for your grade.

READ. READ. READ.! Reading is essential. Exams are tough if you don't do the reading... I got D+'s on all my exams (I did not read) B's on my writing assignment, however I loved the videos and topics. I love the class, it's very interesting.
