With Professor Sparks lectures can sometime be confusing and boring. He doesn't do a good job of explaining things or offering support.

Research methods is HARD. Coding is HARD. However, Dr. Sparks is super kind and is always accessible outside of class in office hours and over email. He also offers time during class to work on the final research project. If you run into coding errors, he WILL help you work through it until there isn't an error. He wants his students to succeed.

I will not take another class with Dr. Sparks. His class was unorganized and he made things confusing. He never explained things in comments well when grading work, expected students to know the material before it was even taught, and wanted us to Google questions without giving much help. Had class time for most work. I will fear coding for life.

Great Professor took him for POL 220. I don't think anyone likes doing research, but his class has made it a-lot more fun. Problem sets are easy and so is final paper.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. This professor will lecture you for hours then give you 12-page papers that are due in a couple of days. On top of that, he grades incredibly hard while giving you ZERO comments on your paper and how to improve. Does he actually read the work you turn in? Probably not. Take any other teacher if you want to actually learn.
