Reviews of professor Ben Dworkin

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Prof Dworkin is a very knowledgeable professor, especially on the politics of NJ and has plenty of hands on political experience. Unfortunately, he lacks in teaching experience. There are only major exams and a paper, you wont find out how he grades until after the first midterm. Close to quarter if not more of the class failed that exam.

He's an interesting Professor. Had him for Campaigns. Definitely loves to hear himself talk. Very funny, but the entire class is one big group project and you are graded as a group. You don't even get to pick your partners. So either you are the slacker or you're carrying the weight of the group. That being said, he is extremely knowledgeable.

Dworkin is a phenomenal professor who is very knowledgeable about the politics of New Jersey and also campaigning. It is important to go to class as that is where you will learn the material, and he knows who shows up and who doesn't. He grades on quality not just effort, so you must know the material. Smart man and very helpful. Highly recommend.

Good man, gives a good lecture, & he does want his students to succeed both in class & in the real world. OTOH the volume of work & information you'll have to deal with is otherworldly. This was the hardest course I've ever taken in my life, & nothing else comes even remotely close. But if you're PoliSci, take him. You'll find its worth the effort

Dworkin is knowledgable, and very well connected. DO NOT take his Campaigns, Political Parties, and Intrest Groups class. It is a semester long group project. He fails to take into consideration just how many people drop the course or just stop showing up. He will also expect the same quality of work regardless. Decent teacher, horrible class.

He is such a great guy to know. He is well connected and wants the best for his students not just in the class but also in life. He has good lectures and brings in a speaker every week which is great for connections. His exams are hard though, you really have to study to do well. But I highly suggest him as a professor and am happy I had him!

Professor Dworkin is the number one guy to know if you're interested in going into politics. His connections are endless and he's beyond helpful. His campaigns class has campaign professionals come in biweekly to talk and answer questions, great for networking. This class entire class is a group project though so be prepared for that.
