I really like this guy. Every class puts a smile on my face. Sometimes his lectures are boring, but I am easily distracted on my laptop. The only reason I rated him low is because of the little work assigned ... SHOCKING, right? This sounds great, but it means that the majority of your grade is on MT/Final. Yes there are discussiomn quizzes that are pretty easy if you do the reading, but life gets busy and sometimes reading falls to the. wayside In short, Prof. W is a really great guy, engaging teaching, and the content, to me, was fascinating. Highly recommend, but make sure to read the assigned readings! |

Wohlfarth obviously cares about his students and is INCREADIBLY PASSIONATE about what he teaches. I loved his lectures, they were always very ENGAGING, my favorite class to attend. He connects the material in a way that makes it relevant to your life. I took "Government or Politics" for my Carillion Class, I think it's the best Carillion class they offer! The only down side is the TOUGH GRADING. The TA we had make it nearly impossible to get a high A on any of the assignments. We had very few graded assignments so this made getting a full A difficult. Overall would recommend his classes!! |

I was required to take this class as part of Carillon Communities, but it wasn’t too bad. Professor Wohlfarth genuinely cares about his students and the material, which makes the content somewhat interesting—even if you’re not particularly interested in the Supreme Court. He is very knowledgeable and occasionally cracks jokes to keep things engaging. Most classes are spent with him lecturing through slides, but his enthusiasm makes the lectures bearable. The coursework includes two 4-page essays on relevant Supreme Court cases, a midterm, a final, a live oral argument where you and a group argue a case in front of the class, and weekly discussion quizzes. The quizzes are based on that week’s content, and while most are graded for completion, a few are actually graded based on the content of your asnwer. Overall, because there isn’t much-submitted work, I found the grading to be somewhat harsh, and the syllabus could feel a bit vague at times. However, Professor Wohlfarth and the TA are approachable and always willing to provide clarification if needed. |

Very interesting class. Quite a bit of reading and you need to actually do them in order to get a good grade on the weekly quizzes. I worked hard for my grade. |

Such an interesting class to take if you want to learn more about the Supreme Court. It does cover a lot of content though, so if you aren't interested in the course material I would not recommend taking it. There are 5 pop quizzes throughout the semester so you have to go to discussion. Exams are fair and there was extra credit offered in the midterm. |

I loved this class and this professor. Wohlfarth is very passionate about the government which makes this class more interesting. If you are interested the U.S. Supreme Court you would love this class. The class focuses on the current Supreme Court and current court cases. This class does have pop quizzes during discussion however I found them easy if you just re read your notes. |

Great lecturer and 202 is a great class. Dr. Wohlfarth knows what he is talking about, is a fantastic lecturer, and is always willing to answer questions. He assigns a reasonable amount of readings and doesn't give reading quizzes. The 4 quizzes were pretty easy and you have plenty of time to work on the papers. The midterm was a little more difficult than expected but straightforward and focused on lecture material. Dr. Wohlfarth lets you know exactly what he is expecting and doesn't throw any curveballs. GVPT 202 is one of the best classes I've taken. Highly recommend. |
