Reviews of professor Tim Russell

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The lectures are pointless. He talks a lot but it's about nothing. He just restates everything we already read and it's not needed. There is a lot of reading and writing. I'd recommend either talking it as a online class because there is no point in wasting an hour of your time in the lectures.

I can not say enough good things about Mr.Russell! He is passionate, knowledgable, invested, and grades work in a timely manner- can it get any better? This class combines basic Civics concepts with climate justice, and is very fascinating. It tends to be a writing heavy class, with discussion posts but he gives very fascinating prompts. 10/10!

Professor Russell was super nice and chill. I appreciated his level of knowledge around the topics he teaches and thought he was a more than fair grader. His assignment structures are consistent, allowing you to build a routine around his classes that helps navigate life and work outside of school. 10/10 would take again.

Tim Ressell is a great teacher and probably the only good one for pol101. There is 1 assignment and 1 test a week and pretty easy. lectures are exciting and help get you ready for the test that week. Down sides is his grading he will mark you down for things like grammar or not using paragraph breaks.

He wasnt caring enough for me. I tried to message him on numerous occasions and we had numerous misunderstandings. I would not take it again.

Mr.Russell was by far my favorite professor of the quarter! He is funny and his expectations are straight forward. His assignments are consistent throughout the quarter and fairly graded. His assignments are balanced between weekly quizzes, attendance points, and discussion posts. Stay on top of the readings and you will succeed!

Professor Russell was a great professor! He has optional online lectures once a week, but it is good to attend or watch the recordings. He assigns chapter readings, discussion post, and a quiz every week (readings are heavier in POLS SCI 202). Some things on quizzes are small details from chapter readings, so pay extra attention! Great professor!

No a good explainer, never again.

He is very accessible. Class is a little boring, but if you make the effort to participate and meet him before and after class he will be much more considerate.

Professor Russell is straight forward with his expectations and very approachable. I thoroughly enjoyed the discussions we had. I took POLS202- American Government, and I appreciated the consistency of the assignments. Very fair grader, but test questions for multiple choice can be tricky, so really pay attention.
