Gerard Evans PLCY313 Expecting a B Anonymous 12/13/2024	This class is fairly easy. It almost never lasts the full 2 hours and you don’t really have to pay attention in lecture. If you get a 90% or above on the midterm you don’t have to take the final, but if you do take the r final it’s extremely hard and he gives you no information on what to study or how it will be structured. There is one fairly simple group project at the end of the semester that was an easy A. Overall, he’s a very kind and caring professor.
Gerard Evans PLCY313 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/05/2024	This is the most pointless class I have ever taken. He stands in front of the class and speaks 80% nonsense and does not use slides or powerpoints. Final was not mandatory if you had perfect attendance (in class attendance quizzes) and scored over 90% on the midterm which was open note and very easy if you go to the review. One final group testimony project but had no rubric on what we would be graded on and no assignment prompt, basically hope you know what you're doing and its what he wants. You will either get 100% in this class or 60% theres like no inbetween.
Gerard Evans PLCY313 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/03/2024	This class is pretty easy. He usually lets us out after an hour and a half and spends the whole time talking (he easily gets off track). There is a midterm and a final but you don't have to take the final if you have perfect attendance and got a 90% or above on the midterm. For the midterm you are allowed bring as much notes as you want and there is 10 extra credit points. Definitely attend review days he basically gives out the answers. There is a group project that is a mock testimony but there is no requirements or rubric so it's unclear how it is graded. Evans does cold call if you participate a lot and he knows your name.

Gerard Evans PLCY313 Expecting an A Anonymous 02/18/2023	i did not pay attention one bit during lecture. and I did not pass that threshold you need to not take the final I think. but I still ended with an A because I worked really hard with my group to do well on our presentation. and I cant remember if I still had to take the final or not... but if I did, I think I did well.

Gerard Evans PLCY313 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/16/2022	Evans is a good guy and is incredibly knowledgeable as a lobbyist and lawyer but it's kind of hard to get information from the course because he talks about his own personal experiences a lot. The course lacks a lot of structure but it is not difficult and is basically no work. He's good if you're looking for an easy A course but not if you're actually trying to learn something about policy.

Gerard Evans PLCY313 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/15/2019	Honestly, I took this class recently, and I enjoyed it. Gerry is a really chill dude and makes lectures engaging. Class was also insanely easy, I don't know what these reviews were saying before I registered. He legit gives you the exam questions and answers during the review session, so just fully memorize them. That's what I did. A midterm, a project that everyone who attended got a 100% in, and a final that you don't even have to take if you get a 100 or higher on the midterm (he gives extra credit). Take this class, I enjoyed it. Just actually go to lecture and don't get lazy like half of our class did. If you go to the one lecture a week and pay attention, you will easily get a 100 in this class.
