Comment:
He made class enjoyable to go to. He teaches the material in a way that anyone can understand. We were assigned a lot of readings but they were all useful so as long as you stay on top of them you will be fine. I appreciated all the reading material related to the topic of the week. He is understanding with deadlines and is approachable after class

Amyot is the biggest beauty teacher. Cares about his students, good at explaining and not rushing material, and accommodated me when I fell a bit behind. 10/10 would recommend to take his class. Absolute Gem!

Grant is an absolute beauty. As someone who knows him well, I can say without a doubt that he is my favorite prof and is very helpful and accessible. If you ever get the chance, talk with him one on one, he's an extremely interesting man.

Comment:
He rambles during lectures. His lectures sound like he's talking to himself, not to a class. He reads from a script 100% of the time. Sends his lecture slides before class, but they are not sufficient enough to rely on. Readings are scattered, one week its one chapter, the next week its 8 readings, 40 pages each.

Comment:
Amyot was at least somewhat hamstrung by the material--political theory has never been particularly interesting to me. His speaking style is uneven and somewhat difficult to follow at times, and often his lectures would veer off in seemingly unrelated directions. That being said, nice and gentle man, class was remarkably easy.

Comment:
Amyot really goes out of his way to make sure his students do well, especially in 384, which is a required course for politics majors. He is super accommodating, helpful, and approachable. He's a great lecturer, but may not come off as such due to the boring nature of the course. Clear and concise. He doesn't get back to emails too quickly though.

Comment:
Took this course to fill a 3rd year pols requirement not expecting much from it, yet ended up loving Amyot and the course in the end. He is extremely clear in his expectations and a very clear lecturer. He had the class participate in a model European Union, which was by far one of the most fun I have had in a class room in 3rd year.

a dreadful class. This prof is nice, but he can't teach. Extremely unclear, therefore hard to do well. Even the TA is a mess. He should stick to teaching European politics instead

I just loved him. 384 is a mandatory class for all politics students so many people dread taking it. Amyot is wonderful though! He's a great teacher. There is a lot of reading for this course. So be prepared. But do what you can. The tests are very fair. He marks noticeably higher than most politics profs. I highly recommend taking his class!

Comment:
I don't know when those other people had Amyot (maybe back in the 60s when he used to be cool?) but he was a terrible prof for a topic I normally enjoy. His lectures were so boring and even if you studied it would be difficult to do well.
