2**
Pros: Class is interesting and fun when people participate in discussions
Cons: Screwed up my grade - gave me a D when it was supposed to be a B+. He fixed this but it was a major headache. One of the most boring teachers I've ever listened to. His tests are abstract and difficult to study for.
Pick another POL101 professor.

1*
Pros: -personality
Cons: -fails to go over the material on exams

-occasionally incorporates own ideals into the material he does cover

-feels like the exams are 1/2 book 1/2 personal opinion.
I was generally disgusted with his teaching performance. I literally have nothing else to say about him. And no, I didn't receive a bad grade.
