Reviews of professor Andrew David

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. David is the best. He is so enthusiastic about what he teaches and is so knowledgeable. I took his course during summer and it was still quite manageable. We watched and discussed movies in class, which was fun, and his presentations were interesting over the entire two and a half hour class session. Highly recommend.

Professor David is a wonderful person and is super caring. However his curriculum is a bit odd, I am especially not in favor of the final paper AND the final FINAL. I know for other classes they have the final paper count as the real final. The 20-page essay was not it.

Professor David is one of THE MOST disorganized and unprofessional professors I have ever had. He shows up late to every single class, which means, naturally, class runs up to 10 minutes late every. day. If you have a back-to-back after his class you will most certainly be late. His instructions are very vague and his lectures are hard to follow.

Prof David is a brilliant professor. From day 1 he was really passionate about the course which made everyone else passionate. Its the type of class where we sit there and he lectures and everyone listens. I'd take this course 100x over and hes the best professor i've had at BU so far. He gives a sense of certainty to the class.

Good professor but lectures are not great. The lecture slides are just word vomit of paragraph after paragraph that you can't write down everything down + listen to what he's saying. Plan to spend an extra 20 minutes coping and pasting slides after every class. Worst style of lecturing.
Grades: 2 papers and essay style midterm and final; no exams.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING HUMAN BEING AND PROFESSOR 
I took his 349 and 350 and I will tell you there is no other professor I would recommend for history or IR. Give amazing feedback and also brings snacks for us (i doubt any other professor can do both?). Always makes time for students with questions and you can see he truly cares! LOVE HIM

Great professor! Lectures and discussions are very entertaining. Not a harsh grader and offer great feedback to your writings. Exams are a cakewalk if you study the slides.

Greatest professor I've ever had. If you have a chance to take any of his classes, I highly recommend.

Professor David is a super nice guy and very helpful with any concerns that arise. His lectures are dense, so it is often easier to just refer back to the slides rather than take notes. Discussion section varies with TA, but overall was insightful and low pressure. Just be aware that he runs late, if that will impact your schedule or opinion.
