Comment:

Greenawalt isn't a bad guy, but his class is an utter joke. His teaching takes a backseat to his tangents, which are often politically charged. Grade wise, for his essays, there are NO RUBRICS. This means you can ace all the tests and still get below an A because he grades based off his 'feeling' and not legit criteria. Super unfair overall.

Comment:

Originally, I didn't think I would like this class. But, at the end, I learned a lot of valuable material and I enjoyed the class. The issues are that he gets off topic when it comes to lectures and you only have three test grades, a portfolio, and a final, so make sure you're putting you best foot first there.

Comment:

Dr. Greenawalt is an old conservative man that thinks Government classes are solely comprised of his personal anecdotes and political opinions. He assigns major projects verbally and gives no grading criteria for anything. He, also, assumes that you should know all about Pennsylvania government and gets upset when no one knows.

Comment:

Dr. Greenawalt is a really great guy. His lectures are some of the best and most organized I've ever had. He's very knowledgable in government and politics. He really cares about his students. Take some time to learn about what's happening in local/state news though! He'll ask about it frequently, and he expects you to know at least a bit.

Comment:

Dr. Greenawalt's lectures are well-organized and informative. He has a lot of experience in his field which can provide valuable insight on a topic. Review the notes from his powerpoints and the textbook. He's available outside of class and does care about his students. If you show up regularly to class and study for his exams, you'll do well.

Comment:

Greenawalt is a very sweet guy who is incredibly knowledgeable about the stuff he teaches, but he's a pushover. He lets the class get off topic far too often and I ended up feeling like I was listening to people tell their life stories instead of learning anything. The material was difficult, but he wants his students to pass.

Comment:

Greenawalt is the strange sort of professor that is so involved in his field, that whenever he tries to explain a concept, he always ends up lecturing on and on about his personal life and relationships he has with people in government. Hes not all that bad, but class is kind of a bore. Also if you care for political correctness, skip this one.

Easy. Just study. Although he does like to call on people even if they don't know the answer and he'll just awkwardly wait until you get the answer.

My second time taking him. I love the guy; he really cares about his students and his job. Speaks the truth and has a lot of connections in the govt. So if you're a govt major get to know this guy and be on his good side.

He's a great professor! You'll be reading a lot! On the paper, he gives very good feedback. You only have a midterm, paper, and final.

This is my second class taking Dr. Greenawalt, and all I can say is this man loves to teach. He is a great professor, and truly cares for his students. Sometimes his lectures become vague, but he is very vibrant in what he talks about. Do not get on his bad side, or he will hold it against you. Defintely would take again if given the choice.

Comment:

Greenawalt is all around a sweet guy who cares about what he teaches. He grades essays with a ton of leniency (and he gives you the questions in advance) and his tests are very straight forward. He is pretty conservative, so if that's a deal breaker for you, don't take him. He goes on tangents a lot, but he's a well of knowledge.

Comment:

If you go to class and pay attention you will not only do well, but also learn a good deal about our amazing country. He gives crazy interesting lectures full of odd facts and historical references. He is passionate about what he does and it shows in the way he prepares for class. Do not be late, he really hates that.

gets moody, if you don't believe with his opinion and aren't up to date on things he will try to make you feel bad. Things he knows everything. Nice enough guy but not meant to be a teacher.

Comment:

Takes attendance. Gives exams in a variety of formats (in-class essay, multiple choice, take home essay). PowerPoints are wordy & take a while to copy down, but he'll leave a slide up longer if you just ask. Tells lots of personal stories - some related to material, others not so much. Exams are easy as long as you study your notes.

Comment:

I would not recommend this class unless you have to take it. He rambles and is very confusing when he teaches during class. His lectures and the assigned reading in the books, both have very different information content. Sometimes during class he will talk for half the class about random things that may or may not be on the tests.

Taken him for 5 different courses. Easy test, even gives you a question or two ahead of time to study. Copy a lot of notes but his study guides are clear cut. Great professor straight forward and kind individual. He really loves his job.
