Reviews of professor Matthew Ellis

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Took professor Ellis during the summer 3wk mini. Class was pretty easy as long as you study! Class is lecture heavy, but it's expected especially with the important concepts in govt. Tests are literally like reviews. Study your notes and you'll do just fine! Fun professor, he's pretty funny.

This class is one of the heaviest lecture classes I've attended. But it isn't too terribly hard to do the work. The only thing I did for this class outside of class (besides studying) was the common assignment which was a 750 word essay. Participation & Attendance are a part of your grade, so participate and attend class.

Great professor. Not boring at all. His tests are super easy if you study. Show up and take notes, he won't give them to you. He's fair and funny. He also participates with the class.

His lectures are death by powerpoint, but that said, I did not need to use my textbook at all so I could return it. For notes, you'll want to copy the powerpoints. I wish we could have used laptops for notes, but only paper allowed. As long as he sees you are trying (do extra credit, participate), you'll do good!
