Don't hesitate to take his class, especially if political theory is not your focus. All you have to do to get an A is do all the reading, attend class and take two essay exams. He even gave us questions to study and prepare. He is very nice and very funny and I highly recommend him.

Comment:
If you value your time, do not take this class. This is a strictly lectured class and is not only unbelivably mind numbing, it doesn't stay on target. Although his sometime 30 minute tangents about war and smoking can be funny, they are absolutely non-sensical. he does not follow the syllabus and crams everything in the last week of classes.

Comment:
he's not THAT bad. It's a pretty easy class. I had no interest in the subject and probably did about half of the reading and got a B. Two essay exams. Just listen to his lectures, take some notes and you'll do well. Didn't learn anything. Also, I found him hilarious.

Comment:
I think he's alright. The class is pretty easy if you just regurgitate what he says in lectures... word for word. The class is boring and he doesn't really want students to think on their own, until their like his age and have been studying their entire lives. You can't ask questions and his lectures are an overload of information.

He is a great professor! He is very engaging, interesting and funny. If you go to class everyday, it shouldn't be hard to get an A and you will definitely learn a lot. Definitely take this professor!

Covers a lot of info. The final exam (2 essays) are 100% the grade for the semester. Good luck on it. He's an oldman with a good heart and a love for teaching. Not a horrible class, but too much pressure on the final.
