Dr. Herzog is the goat. always hands out pretzels and bonus points. if you do the quiz and show up the next day you get 2.5 bonus points, which really add up. Make sure you do well on your D&P's! If you don't show up for class you will fail.

Very lecture heavy. Most of your grade comes from in class notes. Recommend taking advantage of all extra credit opportunities. Very bad jokes which make them funny. Will work with you on grade.

Harsh grader, okay lecturer with terrible powerpoints, and generally unpleasant guy. He has some funny moments and is good about responding to emails, but doesn't really help you or care about your success in his class. He gives you short windows of time for assignments with no chance to make up missed assignments. I hated this class a lot.

Hes a great professor & offers LOTS of extra credit opportunities. There are group presentations but you dont really have to meet outside of class. You can use GroupMe to contact each other, plus you get some time to discuss in class. Its lecture heavy, but that was a given considering I took this class in the summer. Would DEFINITELY take again

Dr. Herzog is super nice and hilarious and keeps class entertaining. You don't get credit for the quizzes if you don't show up the next day. The group presentations really do help out your grade and are easy. He gives a lot of opportunities for bonus points so take advantage. You don't absolutely need the textbooks but they would help a little.

Very nice man. He is pretty flexible with quizzes and they are easy to pass if you read the material. His quizzes are online but don't rely on the internet to search for the answers. Tests are multiple choice and true/false, and fairly easy. He bases most of the test on the notes you take in class so make sure you show up. Overall great professor.

I actually thoroughly enjoyed this class. I took the summer session and I think it was much more efficient this way. Attendance is not mandatory, but highly recommended in order to get the notes for your tests. Dr. Herzog likes to tell a lot of jokes and definitely keeps the class interesting. Just pay attention to what he says! I give him an A+

Dr. Herzog may come off as a little weird sometimes, but that's what makes his jokes funny. As a professor he is really good at what he does, best political science teacher hands down.

The D2L quizzes are over the textbook and what's in the news (google the news part). They SI is very helpful! You MUST attend class to get credit for the D2L quizzes! He gives bonus opportunities! His tests are exactly what is covered in class. You will have group assignments every month, be wise who you pick to be in your group!!!! Great teacher!

Professor Herzog was helpful in that he related his lectures to real life scenarios. His office was always open if I had any questions and concerns and he always did his best to help. There were NO test in this class but we were assigned 2 project, quizzes, short assignments, and bonus quizzes (which were helpful). PBA isn't my fav. but I made it!

Dr. Herzog is a really iffy professor. I personally was not a fan at all. His quizzes were barely over the material actually covered in class and more over current events, which I don't keep myself updated. I couldn't relate to his humor AT ALL, and his Power Points were unclear and disorganized. I would never take him again, but some like him.

This dude is garbage. He failed me for doing TOO MUCH on a quiz. He's lazy, has TERRIBLE jokes, and won't explain the assignment until AFTER you have been graded on it. One of the worst professors here by far. If you can avoid him I highly recommend it. God forbid you actually try to get some help on your work. This guy's ridiculous and not funny.

Please ignore all of the immature things said above. Dr. Herzog did a great job teaching NON-POLI SCI majors enough poli sci to get by. I sat in the front row of his class and he was hilarious. He made me laugh every day and I got 94, 88, 88, 94 on all of his tests by reading the assigned readings and by looking over the notes. DNP'S WERE GREAT!

Honestly had no interest in political science going into the class since I hated this POLYSCI 141 but I'm pretty interested now. He made the class fun and relevant. I would suggest that the power points are better layed out to be more clear. He is a pretty funny guy so be prepared to want to go to class. Thumbs up to Proff. Herzog.

I am a science based student and anything having to do with history, economics, or government is usually difficult. To say the very least I usually struggle to pass, but this class was different. It was my first maymester class and I enjoyed it. Overall good class... alot of reading though :/

Dr. Herzog is an interesting professor. He likes to tell jokes a lot. Some are funny and some aren't. The only thing that will help you pass this class is to STUDY and KNOW your stuff. He lets the class do group presentations for extra points which is a BIG help for the grade. I recommend to take him!
