POLS101 . 3 Years Ago

I took this class on zoom and professor Christophe is one of the easy people to pass political science 101. There is 3 test and for each test, it contains 4 short essay questions but he only wants you to answer 2 out of the 4 questions and they are simple. He actually cares for your grade and there are no quizzes. Do the work and you'll pass.

All he does is talk about his kids and teaches non sense. Honestly he is probably the worst professor I have ever had

This class is extremely easy, despite Sprecher being a horrid professor. His lectures are boring and lifeless, and he doesn't seem to care about teaching at all. The TA's are great though and section is really helpful. I only did maybe half of the assigned reading and stopped attending lecture halfway through the quarter and still got an A-.

The least informative professor I've probably ever had, especially considering the amount of reading we had to do. Guy actually cancelled multiple lectures as well, which makes you question his motivation. Very easy class, though.

Don't take a class from Sprecher. Ever! His lectures were useless and disorganized. He obviously never prepared. I'm convinced that the class was only easy because the TAs compensate for how terrible he is. I went to lecture and did the readings and still had no idea how they related to the questions and essay prompts. Still got an A somehow.

I love Political Science classes and the politics; however, this class and this professor is SO BORING! He just lectures and lectures and goes off on tangents. Long paper. This is the first class I full on dislike...

The most useless and annoying professor I've ever had. All he does is talk about his children. He teaches you nothing and his final was completely out of no where, stuff he had never taught us. Avoid at all costs

Sprecher is NOT bad. He is laid-back, not lazy. Yes, he appears unorganized in lecture and takes awhile to get started. Yes, he assigns a lot of reading. BUT, he chooses good, relevant readings, and he is very chill in office hours. His tests are fair and straightforward, and so is his grading. I would take another class with him.

This class is easy, but the lectures are a useless bore. The TA's are pretty helpful though. If you do even a small amount of the reading, there's no point in attending lecture as he regurgitates the power-points that are already online while offering no insight into the topics.

The guy seems lazy. He probably knows what he's talking about, but I wouldn't know because all of the powerpoints are straight from the textbook's website and are super redundant. Don't bother with lecture if you do all the reading. The class was pretty easy as long as you aren't stupid.

Possibly the worst professor I've ever encountered at this school. Just because he has a PhD in International Relations does not mean he's qualify to teach a course on the subject. His lectures are SO frustrating because he never actually explains the material. Even his TAs agree his lectures are pointless. I liked the class--but not him.

This man does not teach, cannot teach, should not teach. He is the rug on which scholars walk and wipe their feet. He starts the class with a 20 minute introduction to his daily life, and then stumbles through the rest of the lecture with unorganized thoughts - sprinkling it with more stories about his life. Easy A, though.
