This guy killed my dreams! His TA's suck, especially Derek- he is a bigot! Too much reading and studying and its all worthless! He is a good lecturer but hardly uses any of his lecture notes on the midterm and final~ avoid this class unless you want to read all ****en day long and write a paper!
Excellent lectures, very clear and concise. Tons of information during first half of course. Midterm covered very small details that could easily be skipped over in the 400 pages or so before the midterm. Very helpful on the term paper as well. If interested take PS12 with him!
this class is fine...lots of information, tests dont quite reflect the class well. either way, midterm is graded on a sweet curve and the class is structured very simply. very nitpicky random multiple choice...he'll skip a huge idea to ask a very specific question. make sure u read the articles book
the lectures are long and the multiple choice questions are tricky, but the essays are not bad! he's really interested and motivated and i really enjoyed learning politics for once
Professor Bimber is a fox, but don't let his good looks fool you. His tests are very difficult and there is a 10 page paper. On the other hand, he is a very clear speaker and if you study and do the reading, an A is possible.
Great lecturer. Makes poly sci interesting, and shows how much (or how little) of a role you can have on Government. If you have to take a poly sci class, take it with him.
This guy is super smart but his exams are tough. I tried really hard, did all of the assignments and go a B. I usually do nothing and get an A. Watch out!
Pretty hard class and the teacher is boring. He makes it somewhat clear if you go to lectures, but this is for sure not a kick back and BS class. Don't take it unless you're a Poli Sci major.
I hated the class, tests were hard, I fell asleep every day because the lectures were awfully boring.
Great professor! He has humor to his lectures, very clear, and makes political science interesting. I took this class because of Bimber (my friends recommended him) and I only wish I could take another class with him.
Read the books and this class is pretty simple. If you can, get Pearl Galano as a TA, shes really helpful. Lectures used a little in tests, typically he reiterates certain cases or points that he will put on the test. Class is basic knowledge.
This was a great class. Make sure you go to lecture. The tests are hard and the multiple choice are very hard, make sure you really study for them. You can't B.S. your way through this class but Bimber is awesome.
interesting lectures, study the lecture notes for tests; they are pretty hard. Hard class but worth it!
Very hard tests...must study a lot for the tests. Extremely good lecturer and he holds the stage very well--made me want to go to class.
hard tests!!! big fat paper (10 pages), and not responsive to email. great professor though, make sure you GO TO CLASS, if you don't, you're screwed. reading is equally important. he's a great lecturer. i give him a B.
Great lecturer, but somewhat hard tests... GO TO ALL LECTURES!!!! AND READ!!!!
Very clear and precise. Funny insights into politics, such as two supreme court justices getting it on back in the day! Great class.
Great man, learned this sh*t in high school but it was way better hearing it from him. Tons of reading but I really enjoyed the class.
I hate political science, but Prof. Bimber actually made the class enjoyable. Very charismatic, he holds the stage well in lectures. He's hard though, so do the readings, go to lecture, go to discussion, and study lots!
great lecturer. looked forward to coming to class. he's a hottie. very funny. and keeps topic current, relevant, and humorous.
He was awesome. Lectures are fun and well organized
very boring and a lots of reading, class notes are very helful, make sure you read the articles!
hard readings, but fair tests. dry lectures.
