Reviews of professor Tim Russell

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Russell was great! He was super nice and always loved a good debate! He relied on the textbook a lot and you had to really know the textbook to be able to even pass his weekly quizzes but once you were able to do that his class was a breeze!

Tough Grader. Lecturers are not interesting, but he gives an opportunity to earn extra credits at the end of the course.

Grades participation points and attendance. Is expected you participate in his class every lecture to be able to get a somewhat good grade regarding participation. There is no exceptions for late assignments, very strict grading. Tests every week and weekly discussion posts. He is a good teacher but over explains and ends up being confusing.

I liked Mr. Russell. There's a reading assignment every week (usually an article) and a chapter assigned with a chapter test every week. The tests were open book and multiple choice. His lectures did kind of drag on a little bit and he was quite opinionated, but overall his class was informative and quite easy.

One test and one discussion post about a film or article each week. Did a really good job of representing different perspectives which I wasn't expecting in a political science class. Test questions come word-for-word from the chapter that week, so make sure you understand the material really well. Doesn't accept late work, so stay on top of it!

Very fair and understanding teacher, took him for both POLISCI101 and 202 and I absolutely loved both courses taken. Class is often quiet, 2-3 assignments a week with a chapter out of the textbook 1x week. Over all very interesting class and he has interesting opinions but has enough respect for others as to make the class enjoyable.
