[QUOTE="faulkton, post: 3408676, member: 561910"] You're right, he encourages debate and is actually a great prof. I have really enjoyed every class i have taken with him. Because it American Government, it's full of freshman, and is actually a rather large class with maybe 35 people. The other 3 classes I've had him for, have had like 10-14 people and 25% of your grade was determined by class participation. He actually kept track of every time anyone said something in a little book. This class, due to its size and composition, doesn't have that same element to it. The first half of the class he talks about a news article or an editorial that relates to what he will lecture on during the last half of the class. For the most part, everyone is quiet and doesn't say shit. Me, i sit in the back and quietly fact check everything he says and read the entire article he is referring to. I talk, but only when i am certain i have a good point of contention. Since he is intelligent, i do not talk very often. I was mostly intrigued by the inflammatory nature of his writing. His headlines are full of charged words and ideas, but the paragraphs are tempered with things most people are in favor of. It seemed strangely familiar. [/QUOTE]
