Levine assigns a lot of reading and you definitely need to study for his exams, but he's very wiling to help students and really knows a ton about what he teaches, the guy's a total political philosophy wonk. He's also great at facilitating class discussion, though he'll make sure you defend your opinion.

reasonable guy, but tough grader and assigns a ton of reading. His paper assignments are all about synthesizing the material you've read so far, so skipping readings gets you in trouble.

Levine is at once the most disagreeable bordering on mean professor I have ever had and the best, most effective professor I have ever had. As a person, I find him personally distasteful. As a professor, there is none better.

You will work really hard in this class, but will get a lot out of it. Levine is a great lecturer and explains everything well, willing to help. There is a final paper and final exam, and a lot of reading! I would recommend this professor.

This professor is extremely hard. If you want to get an A in this class, do not take him. Although he is very intelligible, the material can be difficult to understand. Also, attendance is mandatory.
