Comment:

Only ways to succeed is through weekly quizzes. The professor gives no other opportunities to achieve the scores you want. If you are not a good quiz taker then do not take this class. The lectures are also very tedious.

I took professor Grote's class online, I really enjoyed this class. He is clearly passionate about the material he is teaching which makes it easy to understand. If you take notes and watch all the videos you should get a good grade.

Comment:

The online class wasn't terrible. You must pay attention to his never ending, very boring lectures, that you have to pay for. That is the only way you will pass the class. It is not an easy A. but can be done.

Comment:

This course was online and his lectures are super long (most of the time) and boring. He is very redundant in his lectures and goes off topic which makes the lectures longer than it needs to be. The book can be helpful but I barely used it. You HAVE to listen to the lectures to pass the quizzes. Easy A but he is too much of a headache for me.

Comment:

The only grades in this online class are quizzes. If you spell something wrong, it's incorrect and he wont take it no matter what. Sometimes the lectures can be 3-4 hours long. Need to take notes to actually understand what is going on. A lot of his questions come directly from the lecture and also the textbook. Difficult class, but not impossible.

Comment:

Professor Grote, was clearly passionate about the subject matter and it showed. It was a new installation when I took the class so it was a little bumpy at first. But I learned a lot. His recorded lectures are about an hour long and are Necessary to pass any quizzes or exams. He was extremely tough on spelling in open questions on quizzes

Comment:

In the online class, you listen to many lectures and take a quiz every week. The quizzes are very detailed in the questions asked. They are not on the main subject, but rather many facts that have no relevance compared to the overall picture. You must take notes from lectures word for word & take notes on every single thing in the book to get a A.

Grote loves to teach but his teaching method is not so good. He uses picture and believes the key to remembering information is through picture, this actually made it more difficult to remember. The class is very easy though and he cares about his students.

Comment:

Dr Grote is so funny and outgoing. He loves to teach and it shows! However he really likes to use ONLY PICTURES as notes and it does get annoying but it can help you remember more. Daily clicker questions for points from readings/notes! Go to class, listen, do the clicker questions, take the tests, you'll pass.

Comment:

Scatterbrained is the first word that comes to mind. Easy going guy, but the lectures didn't make much sense. It was easy enough though. Taught this section in parts with 3 different professors. Clicker questions daily for participation. If you study your notes you should be fine. Made an A.

Fun class. The material is hard but Dr. Grote takes it slow and helps you along the way. Great teacher, I would take more of his classes. He's extremely smart and it's obvious that he loves history! He is very chill and accommodating. Looking forward to more classes with him.

Comment:

I took the online version of this class and at first I thought it was semi-easy but now his tests are getting ridiculous. You have to watch between 3-7 hours worth of videos that are kind of interesting. But his test questions are like in this lecture when zues&hercules fight, who's side did I take? Failed my first college test in this class.

Comment:

His lectures are the worst thing ive ever dealt with. They are all pictures and no words. He believes that pictures are the key to remembering. With his exam, you take it from a projector screen while he scrolls through each question. Every class I wanted to rip my head out because of how annoying his powerpoints were. Class is fairly easy though

Comment:

I wouldn't say this class was "difficult", the only tough part was you literally had to write down every word he says in his lectures just to pass the quizzes, that was the only way I could pass them. So an hour lecture equaled a good 2.5-3 hours just taking notes (stopping the lecture and writing down notes etc)

Great online LBST on history of Constantinople. Dr Gs lectures make learning lots of info in short period of time very interesting. To do well on weekly chapter quizzes you must to listen to lectures, read online text and take good notes. Very knowledgeable about what he teaches. Appreciate he answers emails promptly. Would definitely recommend!

Comment:

For the online class, there were a lot of lectures and you must actually LISTEN and PAY ATTENTION and take GOOD NOTES to pass. However, if you just put in the effort, it's very possible to get an A. More importantly, the lectures were very informative and often quite interesting! He's very knowledgeable and passionate about what he teaches.

This is the 2nd class I've taken with Grote. He is an amazing professor that really cares about his students. He is very flexible with students. You can tell he is really passionate about his teaching. This was the first time he's taught this course. Weekly quizzes based on textbook chapters and quizzes. Overall, easy A if you put in the effort.

I liked the class. Definitely listen to the lectures and read. All of his quizzes are structured in the same manner and he's really forgiving about issues with Moodle. This is my second class with him- he always seems really interested in the lectures and has some good stories every now and then.
