His class would have been fun had it not been for his extreme liberal bias. Just a warning: He HATES Catholics, and if he finds out you are one, you will have to endure many lectures about how the church is trying to bring down the Latin-American government system. He's really into conspiracy theories as well, and hates President Bush, so if you like accurate facts and have any affection whatsoever for conservative views, this is not the class for you. Plus, he picks favorites in his class very quickly...and if you aren't one, you're screwed.

Positive:

Is interesting/entertaining/funny

 

Negative:

Would not recommend this professor

Confusing or hard to understand

Expectations are unclear or lofty

Overly difficult tests or assignments

Worst professors I've ever had!

Absurd I tell you! The previous comments are proposterous. Dr. Avery is a good political science professor. His lectures concerned an analysis of political phenomenon, whilst also maintaining an economic analysis. It was truly a most enjoyable course and pay attention, most often you will here some pretty profound statements.

Good professor.

Mr. Avery has his own version of political history/history in general. He is intolerant of other's views, and has his mind made up about what should be taught. He lacks integrity and academic honesty. In short, he is out to socially engineer you to his liking. His Poli-Sci class is all his viewpoint, and that is laughable at best... he didn't even know what branch of the military a big-time Presidential candidate retired from... I am being nice in my words.

Positive:

Brings discussion into the classroom

 

Negative:

Would not recommend this professor

Worst professors I've ever had!
