Reviews of professor Sam Hamilton

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Sam is a good prof, but when he is in the classroom teaching it is hard to get an answer to questions you are asking. If you ask him the same question in his office, he will give you a mostly good answer. The papers that you have to write require a lot of work. You must participate in peer reviews as a part of your grade and visit him in his office

Sam Hamilton is an amazing professor, however, be prepared for not getting a straight answer. He wants you to come up with the answers yourself instead of having him just tell you. If you do the work and talk to him in and out of class, you'll get an A.

This class is very challenging. The professor does not answer questions nor does he "teach" the students in the class. Although I am sure he is very smart, he is not a teacher. He does not give any letter grades besides your final grade so you will not your grade until the final grades are posted. Any feedback given is unhelpful, rude, and vague.

I had Sam at Pitt. I even became friends outside of class until our views crossed and our relationship lost steam. Sam is overqualified and a real expert in his field. Hes a very interesting person and excellent conversationalist, but dont take him for granted. We may meet again, buddy. Until then, i'll attend any pol event you want me too. KM
