Comment:

Brian (and Tracey!) was an awesome first-semester SAGES professor. We had 4 total writing assignments which were all easy as long as you turn them in. He posts weekly readings on Canvas but they're completely optional. He also brought in a lot of guest lecturers to tell us about the academic resources available at Case. Easy A, take this course!

Comment:

there are only 2 tests and 3 papers, a few court visits which were interesting but no ridiculously hard work. there are no notes, write down what he says in class or writes on the board so you have to go to class. no textbook. there are participation points but you can do well without it. interesting but very unstructured

Professor Gran cares so much about his students. Anyone go to him with any problem and he will always help. He is also very accomplished, yet very modest about it. His class is easy and he is always understanding.

Comment:

Dr Gran taught my freshman SAGES class, and he was the first professor who I felt genuinely cared about his students. He's such a great accomplished man and on the plus side, he's very easy on the eyes.

Comment:

Such an amazing guy! He's had incredibly fascinating experiences as a lawyer and incorporates it into the curriculum all the time, so the lectures are VERY interesting. He is very considerate of your time and genuinely interested in your progress. Personally, I'm going to delay declaring a major so I can keep him as an adviser. take now!

Comment:

Even though the class title "Poverty and Social Policy" sounds so boring, this class is super easy, and only one book ($2.00 A Day) is required. There is only about 4 papers scheduled in the class and the grading criteria is super clear, but the class is slow paced. He is super knowledgeable in the topic and makes the discussions interesting.

It was an easy class. I didn't have to buy a book and compared to other SAGES it is very easy and a light workload, despite sounding like a boring topic.

Prof. Gran is the best!!! I was dreading this class, but he made what seemed like boring material fascinating. He is an all around funny and nice guy. You definitely learn lots with him. And he wears bow ties and red socks!

Brian is the most AMAZING prof at CWRU! You do have to go to class (for participation & pop quiz points), but the note outlines are on Blackboard so you don't have to pay too much attention. You don't have to take the last exam if you like your grade! Study guides for the exams (the exam questions) are on Blackboard. Easiest A!

Comment:

I've taken three Sociology courses from him. He is by far the best professor at Case. It would be a mistake not to take him. Plus who doesn't love a guy who wears a bow tie everyday to class? He's easy, straight-forward, and always willing to help you out. No reason not to get an A and learn a lot.
