Reviews of professor Jose Cheibub

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Professor Cheibub is one of the most influential minds in the field of Comparative Politics and A&M is lucky to have him. My class was a 489, so it was a bit experimental/fluid(reading and assignments were changed or scraped mid semester) . Cheibub is a fair grader, he focuses on you understanding the concept. Only complaint is late feedback

I got by with an A+ in the class without watching lectures or reading and just going through slides. Five papers total in the class, but very doable. Attendance is required for recitations. Knew almost all of the material from taking previous POLS classes. GREAT option for POLS 200. He's also very accessible outside class!

His lectures are great. I love the way he teaches but he only posted the lecture videos and other than that I never heard from him. The TA ran the discussion sections but was very helpful. The class is pretty difficult because the only things that count for your grade are the summary papers and exams. Just make sure you write good papers

5 papers that are two papers MAX. 3 tests that are pretty easy to wing. He has long, somewhat interesting lectures, but the material is not very difficult. Since this is a required class, I would highly recommend taking Cheibub.

Prof Cheibub is one of the best professors Ive had in my 3 years at A&M. Very smart, cares about his students, and cares about his subject a lot. Sometimes can take a while to respond to assignments & emails, but still an amazing professor and one A&M is lucky to have!
