Reviews of professor William Pollock

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Pollock is a very boring professor. His lectures are unclear, as is the course material. The whole course reads like a stuck-up Political Science convention. But I will say, his grading isn't that tough as long as you can wrap your head around the definitions that all sound like the same thing and do the incredibly boring readings.

A very large portion of this class involved basic background information about American Government. He knows the material very thoroughly but most of the students already do too. Unfortunately, he is really lecture heavy so it is extra hard to stay engaged.

If you're not a lazy student, then you will do well. He expects his students to work for their grade. Yes, he does assign lengthy articles but that's how you learn in a class like that. You learn a lot if you put in the work. He's thorough, and cares about his students. His lectures are super informative. He's accessible outside of class. Just go

Very boring. If you don't feel like going to class find someone to send you notes. If you just show up and write down what he writes down you should be good. 3 exams, a couple of quizzes. easy A.

His lectures are incredibly boring. He assigns lengthy articles for every class. He doesn't take attendance, but if people don't show up to class he gives random pop quizzes. He has given two pop quizzes in a week before, so you have to attend class. If he didn't give pop quizzes, you could easily pass without attending. Don't take this class.

this class was unbelievably easy. I did almost nothing. He's kind of annoying sometimes but he's a cool guy.
