He's an amazing professor, however the grading is way too harsh for the class. He said himself average grade is a C+ for an introductory lower division pre-requisite.... Part of the grading is weekly quizzes about the readings but they catch you off guard since they're not what was mainly talked about in lecture, some being random/weird questions.

Genuinely a brilliant lecturer, I've never engaged with a class more. Expectations for papers/exams are really clear. Grading is harsh but fair, and you'll get rlly helpful feedback if you ask for it. Never thought I'd care about political philosophy, like ever, but here we are. 11/10 would def recommend taking as many classes with HM as you can.

Nice and caring person and a good lecturer but the class is graded too harshly for what it is. A lot of time has to be spent reading and the final (take-home essay) is an unnecessary amount of work.

Hobbs-Morgan is one of the best lecturers in the PoliSci department right now. Their lectures are so well crafted and organized that it seems as if they're reading out of a book during the lecture. Because of this, lecture slides are sparse in information so make sure you really listen in order to get the most out of lectures.

His lectures are interesting enough and he seems to really care about his students. We had in-person midterm/final consisting of short answers questions and an essay. One longer 5-7page essay and another 2-page write-up. Easy and straightforward grading guidelines. No section was so nice.

I can not give Professor Hobbs-Morgan enough credit. Although his classes are very difficult, his passion for teaching and his care for his students is apparent. If you are a Political Science major please take one of his classes because you will not regret it.
