The course is incredibly interesting. Its a overview of the United States senate, judicial system, and constitution. The teacher explains it extremely well, but you have to take good notes.

There are four things you are graded on, each worth 25%. Attendance, a paper, midterm (exam), final (exam). The paper was optional when I took the course. If you didn't take the paper whatever your highest score was in any section was doubled. So if you had max attendance you received 50%, of your points. Then the two exams. I legit had 20+ pages of notes, but it really helped me remember.

Super nice guy. He has an adorable dog that would occasionally bark for his attention in class. He also was a lawyer and is a super big sports nerd.

Write everything down.
