Comment:
Professor Buba is overall a very caring man. His lectures are very hard to follow & his thoughts are disorganized. You can pass test without knowing what is going on in the lectures if you do all the assigned readings But if you have no idea what is going on in class, it becomes hard to participate and he will take points off for that.

Buba is an ok professor. He's nice and tries to be funny but his jokes get old after awhile. Hard to reach via email at times. Hard to know what to expect on his exams. His accent is thick too but you get used to it!

Comment:
Dr. Misawa is probably the best professor you will ever have. He is kind, charismatic, and always have a smile on his face. His tests are somewhat hard and he forces each student to participate, but this is because he wants to prepare everyone for the next level and perform at their best. I would HIGHLY recommend going on his trip to West Africa.

Best professor on this campus no doubt. Never met a nicer person who truly cares about his students. Also go to Africa with him (best intersession out there!!!). I wish I was a political science major just so I could have him as a professor more.

Comment:
Professor Misawa is very interested and informed. Do not take advantage of his kind demeanor, because he still expects max. effort for his exams. Most students confuse his 'independent' teaching style with lack of clarity. FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF. Treat the class seriously, learn the map and you will be sure to succeed in his course.

He is the nicest professor I know, and probably one of the nicest people I know. Buba would give you the shirt off of his back and do anything for you. It's true that he's random, a little unorganized, and definitely hard to understand, but he's a great teacher, fun to talk to, and interesting.

Buba is my absolute favorite teacher on this campus. It is true that he makes no sense most of the time and his quizzes/tests are absolutely random. however, he is one of the most genuine teachers who has a real interest in the welfare of his students. TAKE BUBA!!! if you get to know him AND go to Africa, he will definitely love you.

Comment:
had him for world politics and politics of the middle east. he likes you if you talk to him and participate in class; however, his tests are completely random. Whatever he says will be on the test rarely is; they are impossible to study for. I think he completely makes up his grades so suck up to him.

Excellent professor and advisor. Tests were difficult, but if you put in hard work you would do fine. I recommend any or all of his classes. I wish I could come back and take him a few more times

Buba is an amazing guy. Although he likes to confuse people and call everybody ****s he would do anything for any one of his students; especially those kids who put in an honest effort. He's great!

Buba is a really nice guy when you get to understand his accent. However, his tests are pretty rough because he makes the multiple choice difficult. I wouldn't take this class again if I had the choice.

Very hard. And can be very annoying when he makes fun of you instead of trying to help you when you aren't even a poly sci major.
