POLS07 . 15 Years Ago

Outstanding professor. Extremely passionate, articulate and knows how to create a cohesive course that remains relevant and engaging, even in a large lecture hall.

PS6 . 15 Years Ago

Hinckley is the best Political science professor. He makes lectures and materials really clear. Go to lecture they really help in understanding the material. I highly recommend this class with Hinckley

PS105 . 15 Years Ago

Hinckley is a very good lecturer and I had no trouble following along because he somehow made comparative politics interesting to learn. I had no interest going into the class, but I learned a great deal about types of government and the human development sequence. I somehow got a C+ after receiving a B on the midterm. Dont know about paper/final.

I loved Hinckley for PS 6, and I was thrilled when I saw I could take 104 with him. One of the nicest instructors I've ever had, and doesn't overwork his students.

I fully recommend Hinckley for this class. There is no midterm or final test, just papers (3 pg and 6 page). He usually does weekly online, timed quizzes on the readings that are annoying buy doable. There is a decent amount of reading, but it is interesting.

POLS7 . 16 Years Ago

Hinckley is the BEST! His powerpoints are interesting (and not wordy), he engages with the class by asking questions all the time, and he is overall just a VERY NICE AND EASY GUY. He'll NEVER put you down in class and always appreciate your input (but that doesn't mean you have to speak if you don't want to). He's EASY and he's INTERESTING. A+

POLIS104 . 16 Years Ago

Basically, Hinckely is the man. He took the dreaded PS 104 and made it interesting and easy to understand. He has a dry sense of humor and is very approachable. Wants students to do well and will help you with anything. Treats students as equals and doesn't think he's a big shot just because he has his P.hD. Take him at all costs

Hinkley is a sweet guy but this class was completely boring. There was way to much reading and on top of that in order to understand and participate in the discussions you need to be well versed in current events and history. He is far too vague. He over simplifies and never gets to anything meaningful, its extremely frustrating.

POLS104 . 16 Years Ago

The greatest political science professor at UCSB. Extremely kind, clear, and helpful, you could not ask for anything more from a professor. He gives great lectures and makes them as interesting as possible. All pol. sci. students should take at least one class with him during their time here if not more. Great guy!

POLS104 . 18 Years Ago

From what I hear, he has improved so much more since he began, teaching LAWSO 2. Maybe teaching classes within his disclipine is the reason for it. I recommend him to anyone, since it was 104.

He was really cool, nice guy, at times the class was a little repetitive but overall it was a really interesting and good class. I highly recommend taking him again...

At the time, I hated the class. Looking back, Hinckley's class was a breeze. Also, he's a nice guy.

LAWSO2 . 21 Years Ago

Lectures are a little monotone, but Hinckley knows and jokes about not being the worlds greatest orator. Aside from that, he's enthusiastic, encouraging and helpful. If you get a chance to take him for LAWSO 2 I recommend doing so.
