The professor is very clear and organized, and obviously has a tremendous mastery of the material.
I never once felt like any of the constitutional issues from the course are simple or have a straightforward answer, but I do feel like I have a good grasp of the policy issues and theoretical conflicts. The professor does an exceptional job of articulating every side of an issue, and I never felt like a particular political view as endorsed. His teaching is a-political.
The professor is very polite, very precise, and very responsive to students. There was a tremendous amount of media-drama surrounding this professor this professor this semester, and (remarkably) I do not think the course suffered for his distraction at all.
The workload for this course was on the light side. That's a good thing. It is more valuable to read one or two cases in detail, instead of trying to read six or seven cases each day. I believe that I actually learned more than I would have with more reading material.
There is a lot of political BS surrounding this professor and his role in the Bush Administration. Is he qualified to teach? Should his tenure be revoked? Most of that discussion comes from uninformed and reactionary political viewpoint, not a reasoned response to this professor's ability to teach. I am staunchly anti-Bush Admin, but that is a distinct issue from this professor's ability to teach. In fact, he is one of the better professors I have had. He makes an effort to help students with the material, with their papers, with their career plans, etc. That is more than I can say for most of the tenured professors here at Boalt.
