The class is very well structured and quite easy for a 200-level P.Sc. class. The whole point is to compare ancient ideas and philosophy to modern politics.

We looked at ancient philosophers like Socrates and Aristotle and their ideas on democracy, public opinions, and politics. Two essay exams with two questions each, one of which are given to you beforehand. No HW and one 500 word paper due at the end.

Elegantly spoken and educated gentleman. Makes complex topics easy to understand and breaks them down. Lectures the whole time but very interesting and thought provoking.

You don't really need to do the readings as long as you pay attention, he breaks it down very well in class. Answer the sample exam questions and send it to him, and he'll tell you exactly what he's looking for on the tests.
