Have taken several classes with him. He is by far the best professor at ud. There is a reason he has received 3 teaching awards. Cares about his students and wants them to learn. His classes aren't for slackers. Put in the effort and you will be rewarded.

By far the best professor I've had at UD and my favorite teacher of all times. He is extremely passionate about the subject and is insanely intelligent and captivating. He makes you want to listen in lecture, and tries to help you understand as best as possible. I've taken like 3-4 classes with him and I absolutely love him!

Comment:
This professor is irredeemably rude. He takes a few minutes every class to try to convince people to drop the class and has repeatedly stopped class because someone was texting, going on a 10 minute tangent about how that student was wasting time. While I learned a decent amount, Magee's unjustified sour disposition ruined the class for me.

Comment:
Not an "easy A" but EXTREMELY rewarding. His pop quizzes may seem like a pain during the semester, but they force you to read for every class which pays off big time when the exams come. He is by far the most fair teacher there is--he cares most about improvement and will work with you to get the best grade you can. Will be taking him again

It's not easy, but it's doable. If you put in the effort and actually do your readings and try then you'll be absolutely fine. Magee is the best teacher I've ever had because he actually cares to explain everything to you. He WANTS you to learn and do well. He's great, and he pulls interesting case law to discuss. Great guy you should take him.

Hands down Magee is the best poly sci professor in the department. I wish they'd fire everyone else and have him teach everything. He's clear, helpful, and obviously has a mastery of what he teaches you. You have to do the case reading if you want to pass the class, and he makes that known day one of class. TAKE HIM BEFORE YOU GRADUATE!!!

I struggled in the start of the semester but he never lost hope in me. He cares about his students and how they do in the class. You must read and attend class. The material is interesting and I loved the course by the end.

By far one of the best professors I've had at Delaware. Lectures were interesting. Never pulled out my phone during the 3 hour class with him. If you put in the work and go to class you'll learn a lot with Dr. Magee. He's helpful if you go to office hours.

The best professor I've ever had at UD. Very passionate about Constitutional Law. Tough class, but if you work hard you will actually learn something. I would take more classes with him just to have him again as a professor.

Comment:
I loved American Political Systems. Magee is a very engaged teacher, knows the subject so well, and makes it interesting. I really liked this course and added a Poli Sci minor after taking it. He grades fairly if not a little toughly,but you have plenty of opportunities to get your grade up (a paper, three tests, participation,etc). Take this class

Easy class, all he does is lecture from a power point, but you have to read the book too. He also has a pop quiz every once and a while, which is why you have to class. Other than that good teacher and easy class.

Comment:
Overall Magee is a great teacher. He knows his political science. If you go to class and pay attention you don't need to read the textbook, and the subject matter is relatively simple. Take the multiple choice options of the tests, and go to the study sessions he offers before the exams. If you do these things,you can't get less than a B.
