Reviews of professor Aaron Augsburger

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
His lectures are great. His quizzes aren't impossible, and definitely manageable, but they're not as easy as he thinks they are. Tests will be fine, and not too hard, he'll tell you what to go over/review. He's an amazing lecturer, and he's a pretty cool guy.

Professor Augsburger is a nice guy, but his grading criteria is unclear and it's really every man for himself in this class.

Taking him for Comparative Politics, he's cool. His tests are pretty straight forward. His quizzes are somewhat tricky but that's my only gripe with this class. He does a pretty great job at explaining things, and you can tell he cares about what he's teaching. I'd take him again.

Very inconsistent grader. Literally only 3 assignments the entire 4 month semester. Got graded super harshly on mid-term which required 2 paragraph response to 4 questions and received a 57 and I utilized the textbook. Then I received a perfect 100 on my semester paper. Im scared to see what the final would be because of the inconsistent grading.

Augsburger was great! His class format was clear and not confusing at all. You are graded by 3 things, and they are all writing-related, so I would stray away if writing is not your forte. Overall I loved the class and the material too.

I had professor Augsburger for Indigenous Politics in Latin America. His classes require you to pay attention and interact but he will make you feel comfortable to ask questions. It is not an easy course, there are a lot of complex concepts but great content to explore. Little exams and No HW, only reading.

His grading criteria is very clear, as long as you follow his instructions and put some effort this class is a breeze. I received 100% on almost all the assignments. If you need help or an extension for some reason, he is very accommodating and helpful. One of the easiest classes I have taken. Would recommend.

89 in the course. I asked for comments and a rubric as he had left none on my final paper (86). He emailed me the rubric. Asked for extra credit. He said no extra credit but I can write why should have gotten a better grade but I could receive/lose points as he will grade more harshly on paper, didn't do the assignment cuz it seemed like a trap.
