Most Helpful Review
Winter 2018 - I enjoyed this class a lot. Baylor is a fairly engaging lecturer, but I think his real strength is his curriculum. It's really well synthesized and Baylor draws a clear and important connection between the public's inattentiveness and real-world political outcomes. It's obvious that he's very much in the Zaller mold, yet there's actually not a ton of overlap between his and Zaller's and Patterson's classes. This class is also more 2016 Election-centric and current-events-centric than those ones, I'd say. Exams are easy if you go to lecture, and the paper is probably of average difficulty. Workload is on the lighter side. I wouldn't take this class if you really dislike dry personality types; otherwise, I would highly recommend this class to anyone.
