Aaron Belkin is by far the best professor I have had at SFSU. This is a class to take strictly if you are a student who cares about their education. This course has made me realize a lot of things and inspired me in ways I never imagined. I hope Professor Belkin teaches different courses next year because I would love to take more courses with him
Lectures were VERY ENLIGHTENING! Belkin is a GENIUS. Has a lot of interesting opinions that he discussed in class! Don't interrupt his lectures or else you'll get lasered by his TA. Lots of readings and iClicker quizzes every class. NOT FOR LAZY PEOPLE THAT ONLY WANT AN EASY A. YOU GOTTA WORK FOR THAT A!
Great Professor I ever had back in UCSB political science. Very insightful and he gives very substantive and clear lectures. His assignment is very challenging but it definitely enhances your critical thinking. Great to have him!
He teaches at SF state now. He gave daily readings and quizes the next morning on them. Final was easy; an essay and some multiple choice. The material taught in class was confusing and didn't seem to fit together, it was also one sided. If I didn't have to take this class as a GE I wouldn't have taken it. However he is passionate about politics
Professor Belkin makes lectures entertaining through his enthusiasm for the subject matter. He pursues controversial subjects to challenge people to think for themselves.
Don't let him intimidate you
