Reviews of professor Joshua Hostetter

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Hostetter is a real gem of a Professor. He is very passionate about the class and has high expectations for his students. The books are mandatory to pass the class the class, all the exam questions are from the books. Lectures can go off on a tangent, but do not let that fool you. He is incredibly sharp and will challenge you to do your best.

Everyone saying this professor is bad is just not applying themselves. It is an easy class if you just try and actually come.

He's really smart and knows how to do political analysis but the language he uses can be very confusing. He can get jumbled and get off-topic because his mind is everywhere. Smart man who is pretty laid back, just not a very good professor

He moves very quickly with lectures its hard to take notes and the PowerPoints arent posted until the absolute last minute. His grading is very harsh and his averages are low. He only posts study guides for the midterm and final which are so vague theyre pretty much useless and he is a huge fan of none of the above and all of the above questions

Engaging, helpful, and encouraging. I take him for three classes this semester. We read the books at home, discuss the books in class, and write papers based off of the books. This semester he was thrown into these classes with only a weeks notice, yet I've learned so much this semester and am extremely happy with the direction of these classes.
