Reviews of professor David Carter

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The class is easy if you keep up with the textbook readings and lectures (readings can be a bit long though). However, Professor Carter isn't very engaging, and it is hard to keep paying attention. It also takes forever to get grades back for the papers (usually given back a day before the next one was due). Overall class isn't bad but is boring.

Pretty reasonable guy, and the tests/papers are not too difficult if you have any prior knowledge or interest in the topics. The lectures were not extremely interesting but overall nothing in this class is too difficult and attendance is absolutely not mandatory.

After reading other reviews for Professor Carter and taking International Politics I can attest that the other reviews are pretty accurate. He is a clear lecturer, but his class is mainly lecturing and note taking. If you have a basic understanding of international law, norms, and bodies (U.N) then you should be OK.

Boring lectures, dull teaching style, and did not increase my interest in the subject at all. Very manageable course work but I don't feel I learned that much of value. Not horrible but I wouldn't recommend.

The class was so insanely easy; however, the lectures were absolutely horrendous. I see students falling asleep during every class. He also asks obscure questions, and has occasionally insulted students if they answer differently from how he would have. Also when answering aloud, he requests you to shout so he can hear, but does so very rudely.

Very dry lectures, but an easy intro class. I disliked the Eurocentric approach to the textbook, but Prof Carter acknowledged this on the first day of class. I think you can get away without reading the textbook, if you go to class and review the slides. The concepts aren't difficult to grasp.

Very knowledgeable and passionate about IR but is an extremely dry lecturer. The class is insanely easy. If you do the bare minimum, you will come out with an A.

Class consists of only powerpoint lectures theyre really boring and hard to stay awake for. There is reading for each class but no incentive to do it so most people don't. If you just study for the tests on your own then you should get an A because they're not very hard. You can pirate the textbook. I ended with a 99% but it wasn't an A+.
