Reviews of professor Thomas Meredith

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took him for POLI5 in De Anza. Hes definitely a caring teacher and gives clear criteria for grading. He is organized and knowledgeable on his field. I felt like the assignments he gave out was fair, however, I do think he should have us learn about political ideologies not just through a textbook. Its boring. I wished he gave out a lecture.

My first assignment, he gave me a D because I wasn't specific on my comments to other students even though my submission was fine. I dropped his class asap lmao.

Format is 
1. Read a chapter of the textbook
2. Find current news article related to the chapter
3. Discussion post
4. Writing assignment

Boring but easy class where you write a lot and every test is multiple choice. I'm giving it a 4 because this class is just for General Ed credit so you don't need to love it, you just need to get a good grade.

It's a boring class. He provides no lecture videos. At first, I thought there will be someone to teach me stuff related to American Politics but what he did is just ask us to buy a book to read by ourselves. No notes provided! Also, He seldom gives comments on my assignments. I have paid a lot for his course, how could that happen?

He's very clear on assignments and exams are relatively easy if you do the classwork. Yes, it's a lot of reading, but it's nothing out of the norm. He's pretty nice as far as professors go and can be a bit flexible as long as you produce quality work. The material was interesting and assignments were relevant to it and current events. Cool class.

Prof. Meredith gives a lot of assignments, but they're not too difficult as long as you do the readings. Make sure to properly engage in the discussions. He assigns a lot of papers too, so ask him if you have any questions! Overall a great poli class; he lets you think about the material and leaves room for you to come to your own conclusions.

Took his POLI5 class. You really can learn a lot from his class, and his assignments are set meaningfully and worthy of thinking. If you are interested in political ideologies, take his class. But Political Science is really a major that requires a lot of readings and writings, you should have the preparation for it.

Honestly, a really great professor. I was worried because he only had one review on here, but his Poli Sci 3 class was really great. Genuinely enjoyed the readings and the topics. The papers in this class are not too bad, and he's a fairly easy grader. Besides weekly quizzes, there's not any midterm or final test.
