Comment:
If you're looking for a relatively easy A, then this is your class. You still need to put in a good amount of work for the 4 research-based papers, but if you do well on these papers, then you are set. However, to get the A, you need to survive Dr. Grabowski's long and dry lectures and reading assignments. The curriculum is far from exciting.

Comment:
The worst professor I've seen at Case. Extremely inconsistent. I'm between an A and B, and even if I get an A, I've learned nothing. Thought we'd be discussing sports currently, but this barely comes up. Also is extremely rude and seems to want to have it out for some students.

272 is a really interesting class. It's not a cakewalk, but if you do the reading and put some effort into the papers, you'll get an A. Grabowski is one of the most engaging professors I've taken a class with.

Very understanding professor who takes the time to give good feedback on your essays. A lot of long reading but you just need to have a basic understanding to contribute to group discussion. He made lectures pretty interesting too

Professor Grabowski is undoubtedly my favorite professor. Throughout my undergraduate career, I took 6 classes with him. He is one of the most genuine and helpful professors at CWRU. His willingness to go above and beyond is unrivaled. Show up to class, start papers early then have him review them, and just get to know him. You'll get an A.

Comment:
Sports in America was a great course - entertaining, insightful, and very approachable for all students. Dr. Grabowski and his TA, John Baden did a great job of connecting history to contemporary issues, and all assignments were very clear-cut.

Comment:
He normally assigns a few papers throughout the semester but isn't very harsh when grading. He likes participation, but if you don't participate you can still do well. He likes to lecture, and if during discussion no one speaks up, he'll revert to lecturing.

Great teacher. Made him my adviser when I declared History as my major. He likes to discuss readings a lot. Not really big on organized notes--just pay attention and you'll do fine. Nice prof and class

Good teacher. Really excitable and a genuinely nice guy. Lectures are also very interesting and draws from a number of sources. Prepare to write and if you put a good amount of effort in your final paper, you'll get an A.

A nice guy, but can be frustrating. He makes a lot of unnecessary political comments. He also changes the syllabus, and even requirements for a written final paper the night before they are due. Other than that, his lectures are really interesting.

Great professor. Very excited about history. Goes off on tangents a lot. Go to class and you'll probably get an A (or at least a B if you're a really bad writer).
