What do you think about taking two poly sci classes in the same semester? They're both the freshman level (American Government/State and Local Government) with the same teacher, in the same class room, back to back from 11 to 250 and at a community college.

What's your opinion on it?

When you took them, it wasn't too much political bs overload?

For the second political science course, I had the department chair. He was a nice guy and obviously of the same worldview and political background. Regardless, I enjoyed his class. It was a bit easier than the other political science course, because of the instructor.
