Reviews of professor Justin Lyons

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took this course during a two-week summer session, versus the usually semester. It was a lot of reading to do in only two weeks, however he covered the text thoroughly in class and there were no surprises on the exams and tests. He leaves much for the student to interpret and form their own personal opinions. I would definitely recommend.

So boring. Incredibly hard to pay attention.

If you come in wanting to learn and engage, he's amazing. If you're just trying to pass and get out, you'll be bored out of your mind.

Dr. Lyons is a phenomenal professor if you actually do the readings and are engaged in the class. I get that his style may not be for everyone- but if you are at least somewhat interested in the topics of his lectures he explains things very well and can be hilarious once you get to know him.

So engaging and thought provoking. Accessible outside of class, easy to work with, great sense of humor. Loved his class and he makes me want to take more from Politics/History. The course itself requires a lot of reading that is more difficult literature to understand due to the age it was written in. Dr. Lyons explains it extremely well.
