His lectures cover what the book does not. He gives a few quizzes but goes over them instantly. He gives added bonus of points at the end of the semester based on attendance and participation. Has a lot of experience and tells fantastic stories.

This class is solely graded on tests and quizzes. His lectures are very informative but the notes on the chalkboard get a bit hard to follow. This class is almost all note taking. He is a great guy and if you work hard he will work just as hard to help you succeed. You must show up to each class if you want to pass and reading the text will help!

Best teacher I've had! I don't like government and history classes in general, but his lectures are really interesting and got me really interested in government! As long as you read your book and go to class you'll get an A for sure!

He makes American Government very interesting and I feel that I've learned a lot thanks to him. He's a very fair grader and make sure to ask questions if you don't understand something.

Did not really like this class. Only grades are tests and quizzes. The tests are all multiple choice and the quizzes are all fill in the blank. Very lecture-heavy. Attendance is taken, but not every class.

Tim is an awesome prof. As long as you go to class and listen you will do good on the test and quizzes. He knows his stuff really well and is very transparent when he is teaching. He cares about his students and wants them to do well.

Mr. Farrow is such a great Professor. He really cares about the students. There are 4 quizzes but if you listen to his lectures you will pass them all. The first and third exam are the hardest in my opinion. If you listen to his lectures and take well notes you will pass the class. Make sure you learn the three different beaches those are important

This guy doesn't even know what he is talking about. The only reason anyone likes him is because they are probably smarter than him.

I did not like his class. His notes on the board weren't even legible most of the time. A lot of times when someone asked him a question about what he had written on the board he said it's in the book and just left it up to you to read the book after class instead of trying to explain it to you. I would never take a class with him again!

Not a bad person, but I don't like his teaching style. Unless you're good at tests and quizzes, don't take his class. His quizzes are fill in the blanks. I like him as a person, but not as a teacher.

My all time favorite professor. Would take any class just because he is teaching. Cares about your questions and input. Show up and take notes and you will pass.

I really liked him & the class! He's a good teacher. He has study guides for every test & quiz which covers them very well. Just read your chapters & take good notes, & you'll be fine. Make sure you go to class because his notes are basically what you will test over. The quiz's are like 10 question fill in blank. & test are all multiple choice.

Tim Farrow is very good at teaching material, although the chalkboard can get messy sometimes. He hands out study guides before quizzes and tests, but they only show what you need to review, not the material itself. Attend class or you will fail; he doesn't follow the text. Otherwise, he gets the material across very well and has great personality.

I dreaded taking american government until after the first week of having Tim be the professor. He calls everyone in the class by their name and makes sure that everyone is understanding the material. Tim is very approachable and is more than willing to help you. With Tim and the way he teaches I retain so much information that I never would have.

Never thought I'd enjoy this class, but he does an awesome job. 90 minutes goes by quick and I actually retain information about government. Grade is based only on quizzes (open answers) and tests (multiple choice) so there isn't a grade buffer. I have taken many other courses but he is one of my favorite professors so far (teaching wise).

Tim is a funny dude, he tells stories and jokes. I loved his class, he lectured the whole time but he does not assign homework and his test are okay if you study for them.

Awesome guy in and out the classroom. You actually learn about your government. Tim is great! Highly recommended. No homework but quizzes and test are from lectures.

Make sure to take detailed notes. You won't pass the quizzes or tests if you don't. Flash cards will help. All he ever does is lecture so make sure to go to every class.

I love Tim! By far my favorite professor so far. His lectures are interesting but you have to listen well and take great notes, the tests are very specific. Read your book!
