Dr. Kirksy was one of the hardest teachers I have ever had. However I won't regret taking his class ever. Do everything he tells you and you will pass. He is an amazing person and will help you if you put the effort in and try.

He is the professor from your nightmares! He is purposefully intimidating and makes you feel terrible about yourself. Read everything and NEVER miss class . . . even if you are bleeding from your head!

Took this class while in high school. Made B's on all the tests without studying. Also had ample opportunities for extra credit, which pushed me up to a solid A. Very engaging. Strongly urge that you take the class, but don't say "i don't know" or he'll throw erasers at you. He still remembers my name to this day.

This is a wonderful teacher! If you pay attention, read, and do the assignments - this is not a bad class. I learned a lot, ignore the negative comments. You'll learn so much by the end of the semester, it'll tie into everything else you do in law or politics. Oh, and he's hilarious. Most people in our class loved him for the jokes.

By far the best professor ive had as a political science major - gives ample extra credit, thorough study guides and has quite interesting lectures. bottom line is: go to class and you will pass his class and learn a lot more than whats required.

This was an online class with an immense work load. NO feedback at all on assignment turned in, just a running total that was only updated three times during the semester. Weekly assignments due and quizzes. Midterm was impossible and final had 200 questions with a time limit. Doesn't want to be bothered and points off for questions.

Comment:
I took his class online. He seemed very thorough with his instructions, and very detailed. When it comes to following those instructions, it's critical. If you really want a good grade in his class, read all his material. He didn't seem arrogant, but expected a lot from his students.

Comment:
He was the worst professor I have ever had. I was in his honors class and I studied like crazy for all the tests and barely pulled a B. His study guides are basically a list of points in the chapter so just READ!!! If you don't read the text you will fail the class. AVOID his class if at all possible!

Wholly irrelevant lectures that seem to never end. Tests are hard: 60 multiple choice, 60 true/false (most difficult true/false I've ever seen as well), and maybe an essay at the end. Gives out study guides for the tests, but they consist of a list of terms from the chapter. The only hope to a decent grade is his extra credit, make sure to attend!

Comment:
Minority in Politics of America, he is unorganized, late, doesn't like it when you are late.You never know what he wants. You have TEN papers to write, two exams midterm, final. Attend EVERY CLASS, every point counts for your grade.At the end it get tiring, he repeats the same things over and over again. Know the scientific method inside out!

Notes are extremely important. test are 100 Qs (50 true/false 50 multiple choice)in a normal class period. Start Studying at least a week and a half before. Know the definitions from his lectures backwards. Use every Exra Credit opportunity. if your look for an easy intro class, its not this one but you do learn a lot.

His lectures are so redundant and boring. I feel as though nothing of importance is being taught that isn't already common knowledge.

Comment:
Horrible! Gave three tests and no other work to help your grade. Study guides were worthless, just listed every name and event in the multiple chapters and you have to look up yourself, most not in book. Never stopped lecturing to see if the class was keeping up. Have to retake this class due to getting a 69 in the class.

Comment:
His course is tough - he expects you to study hard and learn the material covered. It doesn't all appear on the test - but it's good to know in order to be "politically literate." He makes it impossible to fail his course if you try. Non-honors, 500 point course, and he made at least 100 points extra credit available. Study guides covered test q's!

HORRIBLE! asked dumb questions in class that didn't relate to the material and ran on and on about them! Didn't learn anything. Study guides were useless. He basically put all the material on the study guide and used about 1/3 of it on the test. No way to study for his tests.

Very intelligent teacher. You have to study to do well, but you're in college- get used to it. I took the Honors section. Make sure to read the book. He gives study guides that cover everything on the test, so if you prepare yourself this is not that challenging of a course.

Comment:
He's a great guy with a wealth of knowledge. He's funny, but moody and has a tendency to make snide remarks. The tests are utterly and wholly ridiculous...50 minutes, 50 true/false, 40 multiple choice, 20 free-response, an essay, and 10 bonus questions. 15 out of 20 Honors students made lower than a 60% on the first test.

I have taken two class with him. One being government and the other minority Politics. I really enjoyed him and if possible will take further classes. He demands alot of work but only because he respects you enough to think you can accomplish it.
