Absolutely wonderful. Probably the most intelligent professor I've had at Lehigh. Tests are not easy, but if you go to class and complete the assigned readings you'll do fine.

Professor Menon is extremely intelligent - I definitely recommend taking his class. It's not an easy A at all, but it's interesting, and he's not hard to look at, either ;)

Comment:

Inspiring guy, he knows everything. Also really funny and always making jokes to lighten the mood, some people are intimidated by him. He's very strict about not talking and showing up late. If you go to class, take notes, and do all the reading you'll do fine. Just be warned, there is a TON of reading, and you actually need to read it to do well.

Interesting class, but very difficult for an intro level. Menon is also very arrogant.

Comment:

Look if you do the readings, go to class and pay attention and then ask him follow up questions, you'll do really well in class. But yea, you've got to work. But he's really helpful and kind although he tries to scare you a little when you first meet him. One of my favourite professors, we should have more like him. Exam NOT cumulative.

Comment:

Brilliant man; easily one of the most intelligent professors at Lehigh. LOVED this class. Take it and you will want to major in IR so badly. He really cares about the well being of his students and how they are doing in all of their classes, not just his. This class has a LOT of reading, so do it. And GO TO CLASS. But then again, why would you not?

Comment:

He's a complete prima donna. Also, he bases grades off only 3 multiple choice exams(as a liberal arts professor) and takes great pleasure in curbing to a C. Avoid if possible.

Comment:

He is the best lecturer I've ever had as a professor and he is truly committed to ensuring that the class is being taught for our gain. Also, if you enjoy geography and do all of the readings, his IR010 class can be the easiest and most enjoyable "A" available, as none of the three multiple choice tests were particularly difficult.

Probably the most well-spoken person alive. His lectures are fascinating, but his reading assignments are far from it. Also, his tests are impossible (even as an I.R. major).

Really difficult class- but he's a genious. He knows everything you could ever want to know about IR. Study hard though because the test are hard.

Comment:

Menon is probably the smartest man at Lehigh. The tests are 50 multiple choice with the option to sometimes eliminate a couple of questions. Go to class, read the material, and study a little and you should be just fine in this class.

Comment:

He's a good teacher, but the class is difficult. He gives you a ton of reading, some of which you can get away with not reading. If you're looking for an easy grade and don't particular like IR, don't take the course; otherwise, it's great
