Political Leanings:

Awesome
He is a really good guy. He wants to help you be better and gives great feedback. He is a liberal, but very open minded to both sides. He is open with the fact that an A is not super hard to earn as long as you go to class and do all the work. There isn't a ton of assignments, he wants quality over quantity. Overall, he just makes you feel good.
Awesome
Jerry made class interesting and enjoyable. He would go on wild rants from time to time, making class participation seem pointless, but that is my only criticism. Aside from that, this class was quite simple. Every task you complete builds toward the one final paper/portfolio you must complete. You will almost certainly get an A if you complete all of the work on time.
Good
Professor Petersen is amazing. He's fun, insightful, and his classes are exciting. He assigns a lot of reading like a minimum of thirty pages per day. You can slide with those though. He gives three papers, two short and one longer. His feedback on them is great as well. They're not too difficult, especially if you listen to the feedback.
Awesome
At first, I was scared to join this class but it turned out to be the best class I had all semester. This professor truly cares about us students more than anything else. He also wants us to try our hardest. The coolest part is that we spend the whole semester working on just one final paper. Everything else we do is just to help with that paper. There are no pointless essays as well.
