Comment:
He is very knowledgable about state and local government (I would hope so, he is the Suffolk County Executive). He lectures for 3 hours, but he is always late (10-15 minutes usually). He does not give a powerpoint or notes, he just talks, so be prepared, but he won't move on if you ask. Very friendly and helpful, nice guy all around.

Comment:
He's very nice and the class discussions are interesting. However, take good notes...like exactly everything he says because exams are really detailed. No text...only newsday. He's usually late to class which is no big deal because he lets you leave early. I think this class is worth it.

Comment:
If you are the kind of person that depends on your papers or attendance to boost your grade, he is not the professor to take. This class was not bad, however, there is only a midterm final, & small presentation that make up your final grade.Be prepared to study for your final unless it will be hard to do better then a C in his class take good notes

He is a really nice professor. He keeps the class interesting and fun. No textbook and there is only a midterm, presentation and final. He doesnt write anything down so be ready to write a lot of notes but his tests are hair and the presentation isnt bad at all. take him you wont regret it

i hate history but for some reason when he teaches it it sticks in my head. he really loves history and knows what hes talking about especially since he had experience in the political field. i really enjoy his class

Comment:
Great personality, knowledgeable, nice but not the #1 professor. No text so you must take good notes. When he spoke he was vague but midterm & final were very specific. He curved both exams and if you did poorly on the midterm he counted the final more. He gave no explanation for presentation which made it tough. Not too tough but not too helpful.

Really not as easy as everyone makes him out to be. He has no review and his questions on the midterm and final are very specific and a lot of the time are just things he spoke about in class not necessarily things you would put in your not. Only grades are presentation which is easy and tests which are some what tough. Good guy just not clear

Do not take this class if you do not have background in hisotry, does not teach, expects you to know all new york history. does not fully explain anything. no grades in the class but midterm, presentation and final. Only take if youre a history major, not an easy class.

Nice guy who obviously knows his stuff. Class was pretty much a joke, the midterm was easy, the speech even easier, and i'm sure the final will be a walk in the park. We didn't get to fully cover most of the material, and spent most of the class time. If you want an easy A, take him. If you want to challenge yourself, don't bother.

Fun class, no text. Gives ok notes. Tests are hard. One presentation... have to interview a local polition, I thought this was stupid. It took 3 people before I found someone who sais they weren't busy. I'd still take the course though.
