Wayne Petrozzi

He's preaching his ideology, not teaching anything. I went to school to learn not be indoctrinated to his socialist-facist ideology.

Professor Petrozzi is no-nonsense, but if you put in the work, you'll learn a lot. The readings are crucial - no shortcuts like ChatGPT will cut it. I found Unstuck study really helpful for practice questions and identifying gaps. Attend class and engage with the material.

This is a brilliant man with a wealth of knowledge. Do you want to learn, or whine when you ChatGPT your way through school and cry when a professor designs a course to test your knowledge rather than what you 'submit'. Quite a bit of the class didn't do the readings. You get what you give! I took 3 of his classes. 5-star!

He does not post anything on D2L, if you want notes, you have to go to class and take them yourself. There is a lot of reading from the reading package that you must but from him and you're only graded on 2-3 essays.

He is the perfect prof for an elective (2nd year +). He lets you write what & how YOU want. He doesn't force you into writing exactly what he wants to hear, he wants to hear your own opinions. No d2l but that didn't bother me. Just take notes and ask him to repeat stuff if you miss it. Great guy to have a convo with too, very knowledgeable!

i dont understand how he has a 4.0 rating... if you are not extremely detailed in your writing you will not pass this class, his expectations are extremely high , see him multiple times for office hours before submitting your paper. a nice professor but this is far from an easy grade

one take home exam worth 40%, one paper worth 40% and a participation/presentation worth 20%. he is extremely knowledgeable on what he teaches but his expectations are very high. this is definitely not an easy course and simply doing the readings will not help, you have to go to his class. extremely tough marker , be extremely detailed in essays

The prof was amazing. He is kind and treats you like a University student, however the way the course is structured isn't really helpful. The short answer assignment and essay were fine, however, I found the take-home exam questions to be difficult to do. If you want to pass or know what's going on in the course, you need to be there.

Do not take this class if you're a first-year student. He doesn't use D2L or powerpoints. He stands there and lectures for 2 hours without any hints to what is significant. Only graded on 2 papers and a take-home exam. This is a very confusing class if you're not aware of the history of politics. Would never take a class with this prof again.

Expectations are extremely high, gives no information for the assignments. Tough marker, do not take him
