Reviews of professor Anthony Ives

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Ives is a well-rounded prof for POLS. He clearly knows his stuff. However, you will NOT pass his exams if you don't go to class and don't prepare. He leaves his slides blank so that the only way to get the information you need if only you attend class. Quizzes almost every week on the textbook.

Dr. Ives is a professor who knows people dont really want to be in the class but need the credit. His lectures are interesting and keep you awake. He also understand that sometimes your sick and cant come to class, so he will send notes out if you request them. Overall he is a great prof and I highly recommend him. test and quizzes are online.

All essay exams and pop quizzes. Make sure you understand the different philosophers and their theories cause he can be picky about it in the exams and quizzes.

Show up to class to help prepare for tests. LOTS of reading but definitely doable if you stay on top of it. The homework is reading assignments. Lots of writing and all quizzes and tests are writing.

He is the most condescending man I have ever met, his exams are kind of hard because he gives you 45 mins for 45 questions to try and "Make sure you know the materiel" but one minute per question is ridiculous even if you studied. Also told me COVID wasn't an excuse for having notes. This is a mandatory course for all majors, pick a different prof.
