Reviews of professor Garrett Bouldin

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
If you take the online class, expect to never hear from him when it comes to any assignments. Just be ready to read the book cover to cover and have timed exams on what you read. I recommend having notes very organized.

He grades a little difficult but he makes his expectations very clear and is very helpful if you ask questions. He always has office hours for you to do a zoom call with him if you are confused about an assignment or your grades. He will not give full credit unless you do the max word count and meet all requirements.

i got a B in this class and never even went, however, to score even a B on the papers is so hard. His tests are wordy and difficult to understand. He uses confusing words to try and sound smarter, however, they usually don't even make sense in the sentence. I wouldn't take this class unless you really like politics.

Very little homework, a few main test and two papers that make up your overall grade. Nicest teacher I have had at UTC. Does not want anyone to do badly, highly recommend.

I had Professor Bouldin for an online class. Besides about a few announcement reminding us of big assignments, we never heard from him. Over a 3 week period, he assigns us to read 4ish chapters, then a test, then 4ish more chapters. You read the textbook cover to cover without any reinforcement from the Professor.

He is one of the nicest prof ive had! He really wants his students to do well in his class. Material isnt really hard just make sure you do the chapter readings and go to class and you'll be fine!

Professor Bouldin is one of the most engaging professors I have ever taken. The material is easy but be prepared to read the book! During the week you have reading reflections, reading quizzes, and news articles due. He will also give out 4 Tests and 2 papers during the semester. Overall very good professor if you enjoy talking comparative politics

His online American Politics class was incredibly easy if you use your resources. As a professor, he didn't really do much but he's helpful if you need it.

Professor Bouldin's American Politics class was a great course. He did an excellent job getting back to you quickly and grading discussions and giving feedback. 4 modules with discussions and tests. Midterm and Final essay and test. He drops the lowest discussion grade and test grade. Textbook is definitely a must but its not expensive.

Readings are couple of chapters which average about 80 pages each. Your tests are based off these readings and he uses word for word questions from the book, but no way to remember that much material like he is asking. Only class I made a B in and it was an elective class. Would not take again.
