Professor Trojan is definitely an interesting character. He is very passionate about the material, so it makes class funny as he is always jumping and stimming. This is the second class (Jurisprudence) I took with him (the 1st being his Con Law Class), and I genuinely enjoyed both classes. His lectures are typically run in a discussion-style where he spends the class period asking students questions. This means that the time he has to go over his own slides is limited. This can be frustrating at times; however, I do think this style is effective. In both classes, I managed to get a high A, and my biggest tip is to only listen to what Professor Trojan says. Many students will have their own opinions on the readings, and oftentimes, I agree with their ideas, but it is unfortunately Trojan who grades the exams at the end of the day. Again, this can be frustrating to students who participate a lot and share their own ideas, but personally, I think it makes his exams easier. Both exams this quarter were open-book, and I managed to do well simply by paraphrasing what the readings say. I do not think his courses are difficult, despite other reviews. And, I do agree that he has his "chosen" students. However, it is very possible to still achieve an A. In both classes, I have never spoken a word; Trojan does not know who I am, and still, I received an A. With that said, this course is broken into 2 exams and 1 final paper. Trojan struggles in offering clarity for his assignments, as both papers for both classes were pretty difficult to write because he did not provide much help. Still, it is very doable! I would not recommend him as an easy "A," however, I do not think it is necessarily extremely difficult. I end this review with two tips if you plan on taking his future classes: 1. Only write down what Trojan says during lectures, not what other students say. 2. Do the readings and write notes in them, as it will be very helpful during the exams.

This professor posts fake reviews. not a good professor. he picks favorites and makes it clear. If you are not among the chosen few, you will not be getting an A. Very passive aggressive in any emails he replied to, if he replied at all which most times he doesn't. Readings were hard and excessive 120 pages every week. No recording in class no uploading slides. Extremely tough grader if you're not right on the money you get no credit. Bro never got formally hired at this school so he's moving to Texas. I know this loser is extremely liberal and most likely does not want to move to Texas so I'm thinking other colleges in this area don't want him. There is so much more I can write but ill just finish by saying would not recommend. only take any of his classes if you absolutely have to. Garbage professor, garbage person, get fired loser.

this professor posts fake reviews. his score is far lower than what it is now, and somehow, a few of my reviews were taken down... this guy is not a good professor. as other reviews indicated, he picks favorites. if you are not among the chosen few, you will not be getting an A. no matter how well you do. sorry. also, he was very passive aggressive in any emails he replied to, if he replied at all. often times I would send an email following up on something, and he wouldn't respond and would instead post an announcement to the entire class, and then reply after saying "go look at the announcement". overall was not that nice of a professor, readings were hard and a tad excessive, he picked favorites, and he would say some slightly controversial things in class. would not recommend. only take this class if you absolutely have to (or any class with him for that matter).
