Reviews of professor Glen Licon

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I was his guinea pig - first class he taught. First test had no study guide - which he now changed because majority of class failed. Study guides contain EXACT questions that will be asked - study this/answers and you shall do good. Cannot use during exam though. Papers not graded too hard. Interesting lectures. Hardly any hw - just read and notes.

Hands down the easiest and best teacher yet. Very easy to pass as long as you do 4 things each week. Read the chapter, quiz, discussion board and reply to two classmates. Done. After every 2-3 module, there's a unit test. Some of it the internet helped, but overall, great. He requires the latest version of the book, way too pricy but very current!

Took his 8 week online Poly Sci 301. There were quizzes on each chapter, 3 exams, and a final. If you read the book and participate in the online discussions you will pass. The exams were all essay form and were timed, so it helps to be familiar with the material when you start. Easy class. Would take again. Glad it was only 8 weeks.

Each week consisted of reading through the week's module + readings in the textbook then completing the assignments for that week (quizzes/activities). Provides a lot of the information needed for political literacy.
No essays which is SUPER appreciated. 4 unit exams. Definitely recommend!

I was a little worried taking POLS but Prof Licon made it a breeze. There is a lot of reading but it's not hard to comprehend. Hm was 1 quiz every week, knowledge checks (which are quizzes but without a timer), occasional discussion board, and 4 unit exams. He also drops the lowest score on everything. Overall, I would recommend you take him!

I like him a lot. He is straight forward and caring. Always giving students extra credit and good study guides. But he is kinda strict on being on time, but it's ok. Just be on time.

Easy class if you're just trying to get the GE requirement done. It's simply a read the book, take a quiz, and write on a discussion board type class. No other lectures or outside material from him. 4 mult choice unit exams with one short essay question each, all open book. No cumulative final or big papers.

EZ A or B. No homework as of two semesters ago. There's a bit to read but definitely manageable. Group work is fun and easy. Quizzes and tests are from the study guide and not difficult to pass with an A or B. The class is mostly lecture but it's actually interesting. I thought the class was going to be really boring but its not. It's Interesting.
