Comment:

There are 3 quizzes and 3 tests including the final. The tests are short and long answer only (no multiple choice). I personally like write out exams, so this course went smoothly for me. He is extremely left-sided and hates Trump which got quite annoying after awhile. He can be very funny though!

Comment:

YG is a sweet lil old man. Great guy in general, but this class really kicked me. It was often unclear what exactly he was looking for in terms of exam answers. I did learn more about various ethnic conflicts throughout the world, which was super nice. You're only graded on three quizzes and three exams, so theres not much room for error.

Professor Grover, Is very understanding and accommodating to your learning needs. I try my best to share my opinion during class perception but I don't have the confidence to speak what I feel. I would have to agree with a left viewpoint and Non-Trump supporter (LOL). I did learn a lot about globalization and it has opened up my eyes!!!

Comment:

Professor Grover is the most left-leaning teacher I ever had. I know that most professors are liberal but this was over the top. As a moderate who cares about politics, I was offended by how he never gave the conservative viewpoint a chance or even let it be heard. He has an obsession with President Trump. I would only take it if you were socialist

He is a very nice guy and cares. He is funny but you have to be interested in the topic to enjoy class. Only 3 tests and 3 quizzes and the study guides are the test.

Comment:

Professor Grover is funny and cares about students and the subject area. It is really important to read. He does not do a very good job at requiring students to read for class, but you won't be able to contribute to discussion without it and it is crucial for the tests. He goes very fast through notes, but the textbook covers the same info!

Comment:

Laughable class, Mr. Grover is a very opinionated left leaning teacher which isn't uncommon. However the degree he pushes his beliefs and agenda into the class is shocking and annoying. Not very knowledgeable in my opinion read off notes and seemed fairly on the fly and unprepared. However this class that doesn't really teach much is easy to pass.

Grover is not great with technology but he's a chill guy. The exams are in essay format but he gives you a study guide. It was kind of unclear how he graded his exams, which I didn't like.

Comment:

Grade consists of 3 exam's 3 quizzes, and a participation/attendance grade. Lectures are insightful although he can get a bit off topic. He posts guides on D2L for each exams, each consist solely of defining 4 terms with approx. 5 sentences each for half of the points and an essay prompt worth the other half. Tough grader but not the worst ive seen

He is terrible with technology, so bare with him through lecture. The only grades are 3 tests and a reading presentation which not everyone had the chance to present. He is very unorganized and refuses to give online lecture notes or a schedule. Overall a very easy class. He gives you all the essay questions before the tests.

Grover is a great guy. He is hilarious and the class is easy as long as you show up. There aren't many homework assignments in this class. Take notes and you'll do fine on the tests and quizzes.

Comment:

Incredibly opinionated on the side of the Democrats. Get ready to get told that everything done by America ever is wrong. On the plus side his tests and quizzes are easy enough, since it's all common sense. He will pull tests from random things he talks about in class though so just have a working understanding of world politics and you'll be fine.

Comment:

He is very opinionated and will purposely say things to set people off. If you do speak up he typically disagrees and will tell you why you are wrong and he is right. He lectures a lot and goes through the information to fast but refuses to post lecture notes online even if you ask him to. Doesn't like when people do well on quizzes he likes F's.

He is an amazing professor. Really caring and gives you study cheat sheets for tests. The tests are open ended and pretty hard if you're not 100% prepared but he makes it very clear what will and will not be on tests.

Grover is one of the kindest men ever. He's incredibly kind, and will help you understand if you don't understand and see him during office hours. Tests are only difficult if you do not study. He gives you a study guide that has the exact questions he will be asking. Super awesome guy.

YG is my hero- hilarious guy with a breathtaking knowledge of all the goings-on in the world. Every time I meet with him he encourages me to continue applying myself. Had him for GS200/400 and a class on human rights-just make sure you show an effort and you'll be fine. Shows his grade distribution for all tests- A's are sparse but Bs/Cs everywhere
