Comment:

She is nice and the group work is easy. But the class gets repetitive by mid semester by doing similar assignments all semester long. Then she gives ridculous essay exams where she will mark you wrong if its not excatly in her wording, even if the answer is right. You can do great on the group work, then your grade can be ruined by the exams.

Comment:

I really enjoyed having Dr. Pope as a professor. Her classes were very interesting and tells you many stories about her travels. There is a semester long group project, but she gives you class time every week to work on it, it is also very easy. There are quizzes every week, which are also very easy as long as you look over the material.

Comment:

You can tell Professor Pope really cares about her students and she has the most interesting stories from her travels. The class is lecture heavy, she gives a good amount of homework and the exams are tough but Pope made it bearable. I recommend her if you are willing to do the work.

Super picky on homework, will mark you down for things like writing numbers numerically instead of spelling them out. Seemed like she was looking to take points off... Lectures extremely boring and pointless. Exams also had a ridiculous amount of writing. Would not take again.

Comment:

Worst professor at Grand Valley. Thinks she is the smartest person in world due to her "cultural experience" and therefore thinks students are ignorant and loves to see them get grades that doesn't reflect their effort. DO NOT TAKE. I normally give glowing reviews too.

Super easy class, but you need to show up. Negotiations are weekly and take some time to do, but you'll get an easy A if you do the bare minimum.

Comment:

Professor Pope's class was fairly easy. There are negotiations about once a week, so you definitely need to be in class. If you show up and do the work, it's not bad. Exams are all written which is pretty challenging.

Super nice. Don't be late. Go to class when there are in class activities. Barely used the book so if you can find someone to share it with I would. Lots of easy participation points.

Comment:

Based on previous reviews, yes there is a lot of writing. However, classes are not meant to be easy. Not sure why she gets such negative reviews because I look forward to going to her class every day. Don't buy the book tho.

Comment:

Honestly, avoid this class if you have the option. Pope has her moments here and there, but the majority of the time she has you doing a ridiculous amount of research for a non-SWS. Lots of group work, 10 papers for HW, weekly map quizzes. Two exams, essay-style, and they aren't easy, so make sure you just know everything, bc it's all fair game.

She's super nice... but it's sort of tough. Homework assignments are graded very harshly, so pretty much impossible to get a 100%. Lectures are mundane, but easy to follow. Two exams, essay based.... Textbook is pointless, DON'T BUY.

Dr. Pope is an excellent teacher, well traveled and has great advice for multinational affairs and marketing. Lots of homework and in class activities, if you do the work you will be fine. Would definitely take again.

Comment:

Pope is great! This class was awesome because she has so much international knowledge. She is a tough grader but it helps you develop better writing skills. Weekly map quizzes that are pretty hard but if you study you'll be fine. Exams are short answers, given 13ish options, answer 8. She works with you and is easy to get ahold of outside of class.

Comment:

Simply AMAZING. Had Pope for two classes this semester and I am happy. Gives "pop quizzes" that are simple questions you answer with your group and get the point just for coming to class. Decent amount of homework and a large project but overall teaches you a lot even if you aren't going into sales. She helped me negotiate my salary for my job!

Comment:

Kind of cringe worthy and a little odd, but overall not a bad prof. Lectures are mostly pointless. She mostly just talks about her experiences abroad and gives the same stories over and over. Very friendly though, exams are reasonable, good study guide but a lot of material.

Comment:

Her personality kind of reminds me of Melissa McCarthy. She tries to make class fun and has a decent sense of humor. Lectures can get boring and dull though. Doesn't really go into detail enough for the exams (midterm and final) but there are enough points given out that those won't matter. Extra credit for showing up, 2 quizzes dropped. Good prof.

Comment:

If you go to class and at least try, you'll do perfectly fine. Almost all of the credit comes from in-class activities. There is only two tests which are essay style. Offers a little bit of extra credit. She's very laid back and covers the basics in class and the rest of the test concepts can be found in the book. Would recommend!

Two tests: midterm and final, both essay style, 12 questions but you answer 8. She Lots of in class activities - quizzes every week and group work. Lots of homework papers. She gives extra credit basically just for showing up and drops two quiz grades. She's entertaining and is not as bad as other reviewers say, though she does get repetitive.

Comment:

One of the worst teachers I have ever had at GVSU. I missed one class because I was sick and she called me out in front of the class. She is disrespectful and lectures straight from the power point. She rarely elaborates to the extent she expects for her exams. She is condescending and although she knows a lot, she is not an effective teacher.
