This was a horrible class. I do not recommend. The lectures were disorganized and unhelpful. The professor was quite rude, even making fun of students at times. The assignments are structured in a way that sets students up for failure. If you want add a heaping dose of stress to your life, then this is the class for you!

Worst class I have ever taken, plain and simple. I want my money back.

10% of the class is two discussion assignments that he will grade very harshly. (If you repeat something someone else has said, you get a 0 on the assignment.)

90% is the in-class midterm and final essays, which cover only a fraction of the course material and will be graded even more harshly.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course with Professor Baylor. Other reviews talk about his dry lecture style, but I personally found it very engaging and found his dry humor very funny. the material that he teaches is really interesting as well, combining psychology with political science and explain lots of the science behind why people make certain decisions in politics, and why it is difficult to persuade others to change their minds on political topics. The grading for the class was pretty easy as well with some simple discussion posts (participation) and then a midterm and final which were honestly really easy. I would definitely recommend this course to any other pol sci majors looking for an easy A. Also definitely bring up goat yoga to Professor Baylor, hes a big fan lol

Professor Baylor stands out at UCLA not only for his fair grading and genuine desire for student success, which helped me secure A grades, but also for his dynamic teaching style. His humor and ability to craft memorable jokes made every lecture not just educational but very enjoyable, creating a unique classroom atmosphere where learning felt profound, delightful, and fun. The discussions on in-groups and out-groups were particularly impactful, broadening my understanding and empathy in ways I hadn't anticipated. Professor Baylor's passion for his subject and his students is evident; making my academic journey both enlightening and memorable. I eagerly look forward to taking another one of his classes!

Take Professor Baylor, you will not regret it!

I enjoyed this class very much. Prof. Baylor's lectures were easy to understand and gave great insight into the psychology behind voting behavior. The grades in the class were dependent on a midterm, a final, and two discussion posts. His grading was very fair and he is easily accessible by email if you have any questions.
