Reviews of professor Galen Stocking

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
If you're looking for an easy A with a very kind professor this is a great class. Quizzes are easy and taken straight from lectures. Paper is 8 pages but graded easily. Professor Stocking is a great person and is an interesting lecturer but I did not enjoy this class overall because I was too bored by not being challenged enough.

This class is absolutely fascinating and Dr. Stocking is a really cool guy to talk to. Sure its an 8am but if you can wake up early, I recommend this class to anyone that's a poly sci major.

This class is at 8 am but worth it. I learned so much in this class and had a great time. Professor is so knowledgeable about the topic and the slides are very detailed. Class is graded on a semester-long survey/ paper, and weekly reading quizzes. Overall take this class!!

While this is an 8AM class, Professor Stocking's lectures were engaging and insightful. Stocking works at the Pew Research Center and teaches you how to conduct surveys, which was so useful to know! The topics that we covered were interesting and were very relevant. If you can, take this class!

I don't understand what these people writing reviews are talking about because I got zero feedback on a single assignment. After attempting to reach out to schedule an appointment for office hours he was unresponsive and vague. The grading expectations for the term paper are very hard to understand! Class was hard as a non Poli Sci kid.

One of the best Professors I've had at GW, the readings are not difficult and his slideshows cover all the material for the week while still being engaging as part of your grade is from participation in class. One large paper based on a survey you have to create and field, but he walks you through each step and gives feedback as you go.

Super fun class! He's a great professor, has very clear grading criteria, and is helpful. The main grades in the class consist of different parts of a semester-long project that is really interesting and fun to do.

This dude really cares about what he's teaching. The class is pretty basic but still pretty interesting. He assigns lots of readings but you only have to do the ones in the textbook for the quizzes. No tests only weekly reading quizzes and a final. The final was just a compilation of the quiz questions. One 10 page paper, grades super easy.

Awesome class and an awesome guy... only complaint is that he sometimes flies through PPT slides without giving students the opportunity to copy everything, although he recognizes that and posts notes online. Weekly quizzes to make sure you're keeping up, a paper and final. Highly recommend
