Reviews of professor Patrick Giamario

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The class itself and the readings/discussions were fascinating. He's a very difficult/critical grader which made me feel as if I was doing worse than I actually was. His grading is also pretty confusing, but all in all I learned a decent amount and he really cares about his students success. He makes you work for it but thats the point in college.

ME PERSONALLY I loved his class, specially his material. While he can be odd sometimes, hes a very simple prof. He tells you exactly what he expects and encourages his students to think on the material deeply. If you like theory, you will like this class. He's for the people fr

This class is just simply too difficult. be prepared for very tough grading and a hard time getting a good grade in the class. the readings are so difficult and the essays are overanalyzed and graded unfairly. he is a nice guy, but unless you're a political theorist i wouldn't take this class

Dr.Giamario's class is pretty tough I will admit mainly because of the amount of reading that you have to do, but if you try and complete the assignments he will recognize it. His grading outlines are clear from the beginning. Class conversations were really interesting and thought provoking.

The class is difficult but you learn A LOT from Dr. Giamario. He does grade harshly but you'll be fine as long as you attend most classes and ATTEMPT the readings. Very nice guy, always values your input but his class requires quite a bit of abstract thought. Only take it if you like to interpret readings.

Dr. Giamario's class was honestly one of the best Poli Sci classes I've ever taken. I learned SO much, from so many different thinkers. His lectures make it easy to understand and his group discussions are honestly awesome. He also really cares and is, even though I hate using this word, "woke" and aware of various current political issues
