Comment:
I learned a lot in this class. He is a professor who wants you to learn, not just review the material and then forget it. It was a tough class, but as long as you do the work and show progress,you'll do fine! He is a very interesting professor!

Comment:
Brian is by far one of the most intelligent professors in terms of Constitutional knowledge. He is for those who care quite the Liberal and preaches liberalism more than any professor I have ever had. He is a great professor.

Comment:
He is very intelligent! However, I took the class for honors credit and all we did was class discussions and turning in a journal at the end of the semester. We used our book once to read the constitution. If you can keep the class going with good conversation he feels you are learning and won't ask for much more. I would recommend him.

Awful. I learned nothing in this class and I had been really excited about getting into the course... impossible with how he teaches. He's lazy and sloppy. I do not recommend this guy.

Comment:
This is a great class and he is a one-of-a-kind professor. His sense of humor helps make the class interesting while discussing a rather bland and dull subject matter. He's a little unorganized and unstructured but the reaction papers are easy and the tests are take-home exams, so it's virtually impossible not to make an A in this class.

Comment:
This is a funny guy who is clever and really smart when it comes to his class. Problem is he asks a lot of questions to the class that people just don't know and expects us to know them. it's a minor issue really, he's a good professor and take him if you want to have quality humor inserted in a bland subject.

I completely enjoy him. He keeps lectures fun and interesting and tries to not exploit his personal views although it clearly slips through. His class makes for fun debate and discussion over topics. He expects clear understanding of topics and good writing skills are a must. You will enjoy taking his class especially if you are interested already

Show any affiliation that is not with his ideals he will hold your grades accountable.I submitted a paper that disagreed with his oppinions on the subject.I received a C-.His reasoning for the bad grade was poor sentence structure and hard to follow.I took the same paper to an english teacher who said it was a well organized/structured paper.

He really knows his stuff but as long as it looks like you are trying, he grades pretty easily. He also gets off topic a lot if you talk about beer or music and he always has interesting stories!

Comment:
I had him for PS103 as a summer class, and I think I had 5 assignments and 2 tests the whole time. He likes to talk about his political views(Hillary Clinton is a conservative compared to this guy!), but the whole class is involved in the discussion. A lot of what I learned helped me in US105. In the summer, he's even more relaxed than usual!
