Reviews of professor David Carter

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Terrible professor do not take. While is brilliant and highly knowledgable about the subject he teaches, he is not cut out for teaching. His lectures are boring and consist of reading off of slides.

Carter is certainly very knowledgable of international politics, but his lectures are not very engaging at all. He often goes off topic or talks about things that are not related to the material, making it a tough class to pay attention. Despite this, the grading is not too harsh and the quizzes and assessments are generally pretty easy.

I really liked professor Carter, although the lectures could get a bit dry, paying attention to them made the two memos and the midterm and final very manageable. The workload is not heavy at all and he let us take our final online so that we wouldn't have to stay until the end of exam week which was so nice of him!

Very boring and long lectures where Carter goes off on unrelated tangents. He's clearly very knowledgeable about IR, but this class is just painfully boring and easy. Would not recommend taking it unless you are absolutely fascinated by IR.

Class is very easy to get an A in. Lectures are very boring, but knowledgeable, so if your interests are in IR, you won't notice time fly by. He's a big music guy, so he plays songs connected to what we are learning in class. The assignments sound time consuming, but they are graded very very easy.

Really smart guy, and I think I would really like smaller classes with him. In terms of lecture, he's just not the greatest at it. Very well informed especially on IR, but if you want to take his lecture classes they're pretty mid. He's just not super engaging with an audience of 300 people.

Pretty much the entire course is lectures with take-home quizzes that are easy enough. A bit of a dry lecturer, but if you find the material interesting, you'll be engaged enough.

The lectures do not help, it is a course based entirely on the textbooks and there is little guidance.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The class is generally easy, but the lectures are rather dry. I stopped going to class around half way through the course and did just fine by reading the textbooks. Grading criteria for the memos are inconsistent. The final was open book.

You could not ask for a more easygoing instructor. If you need to take Technical Communication, try to get Mr. Carter as your Prof - he is very VERY gracious with late work and showing up late, and his classes are always interesting, and he's funny.

Carter is a very very dry lecturer. Can rely pretty heavily on just the textbook and pdf slides without attending lectures and still receive a good grade.  I would not take this class again.
