Comment:
DO NOT TAKE FOR A REQUIREMENT CLASS. He is an extremely hard grader and if you don't like the subject you will not do well. He is very interesting/intelligent but very arrogant. Entertaining class but is the worst grader i have ever had

His policy class awakened me to a new way of thinking altogether. I have discovered everything I want to be in life because of Doc Reno.

AT the end of each class I can honestly say i learn.lectures: keep you awake. papers: graded tough, exams:fair. most importantly he cares about your education. i can almost gaurantee all those who cpomplain never went to office hours. GO TO THEM. he goes into tangents but its worth it in the end. i can honestly say my writing improved in his class.

I can't believe the crybabies who didn't like our seminar. My guess is they are pissed cuz Reno is willing to give out Cs and even Ds for slackers. This guy opened my eyes to so many important questions and books. Seriously where else will you find a guy who can cover plato dostoyevsky modern economics and biotechnology all in one class!

JUST STAY AWAY! Very unprofessional. Continuously criticizes fellow co-workers and even students that do not share his same views or criticize him. I didn't learn anything from his class it was a waste of my semester. It was a seminar class that was not even taught as a such, but instead as a lecture course. He's just ridiculous.

Professor Reno definitely makes class interesting. He's very passionate about the subject matter. Sometimes he can be a bit confusing and odd, but in the end it works itself out.

Reno is the man. Seriously,if he doesn't get tenured there's something wrong with our school. SO helpful in and outside of class, entertaining and engaging while teaching. Makes you think, but rambles a little. Papers are not that bad and the mid-term was fair. If you know what you're doing in poli sci and know how to write a paper, you're fine.

overall a very good professor. reading isnt bad at all, tests are fairly easy. my only complaint is that his papers are very hard to write because he gets too specific in what he wants. fun class, you get to hear a lot of great personal stories.

I've felt as if this class has been a waste of my time. In many ways it is run as if it is an introductory course, not an intermediate one. Also, I feel that he has done a very poor job presenting the readings. I've often found that completeing the reading can be detrimental to understanding his points.

He may be a good guy outside class, but his lectures are boring and useless. I spent a lot of time in his office, and felt grading was unfair as a result. Be a friend, not a student, and you're good.

Dr. Reno taught a great class this year. I really enjoyed it- the material was clearly presented and explained. He's a terrific guy- funny, good-hearted, and always willing to help. Watch out for his occasional ramblings- always worth the time!

Took this class as a senior; if I had Reno as a frosh I probably be a poly sci major instead of history. Reno is a great guy, fun in class, lectures from redaings, and does a great job keeping his political views quiet. People complain about hard grading, but he reads papers 2 times for fairness.
