Show up to class and participate and this class will be a breeze. This class is lots of dialogue and conversation about tackling world issues, so if you are in the politics/human rights world, this class is for you. Dr. Ghere is such a kind man, and knows what he is talking about concerning development and humanitarianism!

Nothing against him, but I could not understand a SINGLE word he said! He's a great person who is very passionate and available to students, but I ended up dropping the course because I couldn't understand a single word he said.. LITERALLY!

Amazing professor. Skim the readings, go to class, and participate periodically and you'll do great. Dr. Ghere is also widely available outside the classroom, and will do anything possible to help you academically or after graduation.

Comment:
Class discussion is mandatory. Don't take if you want to sit back and not add your opinion. Very nice man who is very passionate about his focus. While the topics were interesting, class was boring. We were always off topic and he went on many tangents. Class discussion did not help for the papers and exams.

Good teacher and interesting analysis. Class can seem complex and intense, but tests are not bad. As long as you do the reading and listen in class tests are easy. Had a stroke, initially hard to understand but by second or third class not an issue

Interesting professor whose passion for the subject makes class funny. He also mixes the classes up between lecture and discussion. Don't be intimidated if you can't understand him right away, you'll have no problems after a week or so.

Comment:
I took Dr. Ghere for several classes and he's a pretty good guy and a decent teacher. That said, his classes can be boring so early class sucks. He also has a physical ailment that causes him to slur his words so understanding him can be difficult. If you scan the reading before class, participate in class you'll be fine.

Took him for public policy analysis. Funniest man ever. He tells the weirdest stories and some of the things that he probably doesn't think would be funny, are. Tests are easy if you did the reading. He's a cool guy, saw him a Bob Evans once too....

Loved the class. Read the homework, ask questions in class, and bring up news stories that relate to topics for best results. Very helpful and understanding teacher.

Comment:
He is hard to understand due to a physical ailment. Furthermore, his class tends to be on the boring side - you mostly copy notes and listen to him lecture. HOWEVER, it is fair to say that with more class discussion/interest it would not be as tiresome as it is in its present form. Try and stimulate conversation in class, he will like you for it.
