He was an amazing professor! As a political science major, it's hard to find a class where you love reading the material, but this class is one of those gems. There's quite a bit of reading but it's mostly cases and applying the reading to those cases. The midterm and the final are take home.. sounds easy but I spent HOURS working on them. If you g

Comment:
Professor Wiseman is extremely intelligent and very, very well educated from ivy league level schools. He is also a very nice man. However, PS 511 is a very difficult course and Wiseman's grading has no room for error. If you want a class that you will learn at the cost of lowering your GPA signfigantly, than this is your course.

The best professor I've had. Loves to interact with students both in and out of class. Really goes the extra mile to make sure that students who care understand the material and get the most out of the class. Class project was highly educational and stimulating.

Comment:
Dr. Wiseman's class is very challenging, and you will do a lot of work in it. But, if you're willing to come to class, to do the readings, and to participate, which is mandatory, then Dr. Wiseman is very helpful and will go out of his way to make sure you understand everything. I highly recommend taking this class. He's great.

Dr. Wiseman is great. There is a lot of reading which you have to do, this is not a class where you can afford not to buy the books. Lectures go the entire length. He is extremely willing to help in and out of class. I don't know what the previous entry was talking about; he did not leave OSU.

Dr.Wiseman is a extremely knowledgable professor and scholar in his field. He tries very hard to be as helpful as possible.Honor's section is rigorous as should be expected...class projects and small presentations are stressful to prepare but end up being very fun to present and an interesting way to understand larger themes of the class...

Class was very interesting. Dr. Wiseman does a very good communicating the material in lecture. Cases are probably the best part. Group Project is very interesting as well.

AWEFUL. I hate politics anyway... but don't go to lectures, unless you need a nap. Just make sure you study for the exams and you'll be fine.

Most of the texts are pointless to buy. The classes drag on forever it feels like. All the slide shows are posted online... doesnt matter because the final will kill you.

The many texts were somewhat unnecessary, but reading FPV is a great guide to the exams. The material is clear and not as dry as many poli sci courses can be. Don't bother writing notes in class-- the slides go too quickly.

Professor Wiseman is a great teacher, even though the material can be dry (it's 101, what do you expect?) You'll know a TON about the U.S. government after. Go to his office hours if you have any questions, he's really helpful and fun to talk to about most anything. Study and you'll do great.

Talks & goes through slides very fast. Harder exams b/c they're not just multiple choice. You need to go to lectures and try and keep up, books are over-rated for this class. Buy the main text and forget the others. He gives you random info you don't need sometimes durring lecture--pay attention!

I LOVED THIS CLASS! I went through a phase freshman year when I didn't go to any of my classes except this one. Very energetic, funny and nice. Lectures were always interesting, and usually got out early. Tests were a little hard, but as long as you study you're fine. I highly recommend this class!
