He is very passionate and knowledgeable about the subject, and presents material in an entertaining manner which makes attending lecture genuinely enjoyable. His class has challenged a lot of what I thought I knew about politics which I really appreciate in a political science class. He also uses a variety of sources to appeal to all types of learners.”
