The best professor I've had thus far at GSU! She has a cool German accent too! Her quizzes and midterms are short answer/essay, but if you pay attention in class (given that you actually attend), read the notes she puts on WebCT, and do the assigned readings it is by far the most straight-forward, "easy A" you can expect to get in college.

Really eassy class and nice professor. Only have 2 tests (Mid-term and Final), 5 quizzes, Map Quiz, and one group project. If you study the note on WebCT and study you should be fine in the class.

no offense to that other guy but her accent is english, she was just born in germany. yeah, i never once opened the textbook and i made an A- in the class. pretty much as long as you show up and listen (really dont even have to take notes) most of the time, you should be okay.

2 tests, 3 quizzes, 1 group paper, 1 journal, participation. Somewhat elementary, but that's the course and not Dr. G. Easy class.

Professor Grussendorf is one of the few professors left in academia who is willing to listen to opposing viewpoints. I have the utmost respect for her because of that.

Very good teacher. Puts full effort forth to make sure students get ample oppertunity to get a good grade. Changed the grading system halfway through to help students' grades balance out. Had a student teacher who had a tutorial class before and after her class. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone needing a Poly Sci credit.

Attendance and a textbook are mandatory for this class. Albeit, attendance isn't necessary to pass, but it does play a factor into your participation grade. Honestly, you don't even need to take notes for the class, just show up to sign the attendance sheet and complete the study guide before the exams. Warning: you will do a lot of writing.

One of the only teachers at GSU who will go out of her way to help you...and listen and encourage group discussions in class to help better understand the subject. Not an easy class but if you do the study guides, you can't go wrong.

Class can be boring. She gives you the exact questions that will be on tests. Tests are essay /short answer but are not bad if you do the study guides.

Prof G is an awesome teacher.you have a midterm, final that is easy. she gives you the questions before hand, so as long as you study you should do fine. you also have a couple of assignments that are not that hard. I would def take her again

I loved her. She is so helpful if you don't understand something and she is always willing to listen to your oppinion, though she is a bit self admitted bias. Study for the tests, but genuinely cares. Does a group project which one member of mine sabatoged but Prof. G still managed to give me an A. Not easy but not impossible.

Great Professor, read the book for tests, and come to class lots of extra credit offered

Classes can be a bit boring. She posts the power points she uses in class online after the class as well as the study guide. Follow the study guide and you'll be fine. Very little reason to attend because of these reasons except for the extra credit quizzes she gives in class. One paper. Very passionate about her subject. Over, definitely recommend

easy class if it was not so boring. If you do not pay attention in class you will not get a good grade but subject is interesting and easy.

Dr. G is a great professor. She first intimidated me due to load of work, but it actually wasn't a lot. Her written exams are helpful in the long run, and I actually learned a lot. She's full of energy, and lecture wasn't boring to me (conc: Int'l Affairs). Book isn't necessary but her powerpoint slides are very helpful.

She gives lots of assignments in this class. A book review, annotated bibliography, two long exams, and a research exercise. Lectures are dry and attendance is taken every class. Overall, she is a nice lady but I was uninterested in the class.

GREAT CLASS! a midterm, final, a journal and a group project. Easy class if you attend and take notes. everything is posted on ulearn. Shes very bright and make sthe class interesting, SUPER nice and super sweet. I also liek to call her BS proof (bulls**t proof) bc she knows her stuff and isnt stupid. Take her clas si HIGHLY RECCOMEND HER!!

The workload was not bad - make sure to keep your journal throughout the semester so you don't have to scramble before it's due. Her tests are easy if you study the guide she gives. I found the textbook to be more of a supplement than a necessity. She puts everything on ulearn (including all quizzes but one), so that really cuts the stress level.

Dr G is one of the few professors in the field who cares about her students as much as her areas of research. I have teken her for multiple classes, and she has always been nothing short of helpful. Be prepared to come to come to class each period and do the readings. Notes are optional because her slides (given via ulearn) are pretty detailed.

great professor, very helpful. tends to get off subject and ramble, but its usually fun and interesting. tests and quizzes not hard, papers graded easily, and attendance is not always required. take her for global issues or political science! easy A. funny and witty in class too, and a british accent :D

Her 12 page syllabus is very intimidating! But don't worry it's not hard, she's just a very detailed person. She grades extremely easy. For the journal we needed 25, I only did 19 and got a 90! You have to work for your grade but the work isnt as difficult as it seems. DONT BUY THE BOOK its a waste of your money! Id recommend her to anyone!

Pretty tough class with a lot of written work: research project, annotated bibliography, and a 5-7 research paper. Only midterm and final exams, essay only. Dr. Grussendorf is very helpful and answers any questions you have. Her lectures are a bit boring but she posts all the powerpoint slides on ULearn, so that helps. She has a very strict at

Love her British accent! If you read the book and her Power Point, the tests are easy. There?s one short essay and a 4 to 5 research paper, gives extra credit, up to 6 points per test, final was really easy. TAKE HER CLASS!

Take her class!!! I never paid attention and got an A. Just make sure you do the online quizzes and study exactly what is on the study guide and you're guarenteed an A. She grades really easy. but DON'T BUY THE BOOK.

Cool teacher. Easy class.

She's grueling and sometimes hard to pay attention to in class. Other than that she is a very good person but makes you work extremely hard.

One of the BEST profs @ GSU! I'm taking 2401 for my Area E requirement JUST b/c I enjoyed her 1101 class so much! I do love pol-sci so thats also plus. She is so thorough & enthusiastic & class is always interesting! Dont listen to others, please read the book & pay attention, try for that A+! Its so worth it & absolutely obtainable if you try :)

Best professor at GSU! Helps students understand all issues of politics at a Global level. Every exam was 5-6 essay questions--EACH question answer had to be 2-3 pgs long. But as long as you go to class, take GOOD notes, and STUDY hard, you'll get an A. I made over a 95 on every exam, including the Final exam. I love her!

OMG SHE IS GREAT!! SHE IS OBVIOUSLY PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT SHE TEACHES. SHE IS ALSO VERY CLEAR AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND, AND IF YOU DON'T SHE WILL EXPLAIN IT EVEN FURTHER. SHE IS VERY UNDERSTANDING AND HELPFUL. SHE SETS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW ALL PROFESSORS SHOULD BE!

Very passionate about what she teaches about. Class is fine as long as you take notes and study. Only 2 tests and 4 quizzes, but you work on quizzes outside of class. Lecture-styled class with powerpoint. Certain topics are more interesting than others, but she is a good teacher for this subject.

I'm taking her right now for Global Issues and am pretty satisfied. She cares about your success and is very clear. She's kind of repetitive so her tests require somewhat specific knowledge. 3 15 MC and 10 SA tests including the final (not cumulative). Reading responses are a pain in the a** but they're not SO bad. Overall I would recommend her.

Awesome prof, easy class.

Awesome prof. Pretty hard; I actually had to work, but thats expected in college. 3 exams, lecture based class. Reading responses and online quizzes. She is very helpful and will help you; especially if you stop by her office. Definitely go to class. I received and A- in her class, I actually worked but the class isn't ridiculously hard.

The reading responses were a bit ridiculous but she cut down on the number required for an A so if you got otherwise, you were lazy. She is a bit verbose AND repetitive in lectures but it calls for an over-all easy class

She is great

awesome teacher. really good at teaching global issues. class is interesting, she answers a lot of questions. online quizzes, 3 tests, position paper (10%). optional study sessions as well. doesn't take attendance. pretty easy if you take notes. the material is interesting so you won't want to skip. highly recommended!

If you're looking to take POLS 2401, take this professor. The class does require work/studying: 3 tests and reading responses (to textbook chapters, in class videos, and relevant news), but nothing overwhelming. If you takes notes in class, skim the book for important points & study, then you'll make an A in the class.

This prof is amazing. Although I could care less for glob issues, I did become more interested than when I left her class. She is smart and knows her stuff. She may lecture for the whole class,but is always on topic and makes it clear. I got an A- in that class. 3 Exams--30 MC, 5 SA, 3 Bon. Online quizzes are frequent. I recommend her for POLS 2401

She knows her stuff, just gets to be a little boring. Do all the quizzes, take notes, & skim the book for tests. The position paper wasn't too difficult either. Basically just do your work & you'll get an A in the class.

She is very good professor. When she gives lectures she, she gives plenty of examples in order for the students to understand the concepts. She gives extra credit and help when need it. I highly recommend to attend lectures of you know you not going to read the book because she makes up all test and quizzes from there!

Attendance isn't mandatory, but if you go, you don't really have to read, so it's a good idea. Really clear lectures, and always willing to re-explain things. I definitely recommend taking this prof!

She is a great teacher, and she is very enthusiastic about her lectures. Attendance isn't mandatory, but I went to every class and it helped a ton. She is also very helpful and understanding if you go and talk to her during her office hours. One of my favorite teachers so far.

Dr.Gussendorf is one of the best professors at GSU...take her, you wont regret it!!!! she have an amazing personality.....can have a smart mouth but its funny!!!

This is the professor to take if you are passionate about political science. She has great knowledge of the subject and speaks in a lively way that makes you interested. People who dont like the subject will be annoyed when she goes on tangents but lovers of the subject will find them informative. Her tests are easy and no book needed if you listen

My experience with this professor was so good when I took POLS 2401 that I decided to take her again for POLS 3450. This class is tougher than her 2401 class since the textbook is necessary this time around and tests are slightly tougher. But she is still the best for people who love this subject.

She is awesome!! You do have to study but the material is fast and interesting and actually useful

My favorite political science professor. Very energetic and excited to convey information about global issues. I would definitely recommend her, but I would suggest not purchasing the textbook. I never used it and could barely get it to cooperate.

Great professor. She is very dedicated to the topic and shows enthusiasm when teaching. The class is an easy A as long as you study for the exams. We took 4 Ulearn quizzes and the lowest gets dropped and about 5 map and the lowest get dropped also. I recommend that you do not talk out in her class because she will not hesitate to call you out

Very passionate about political science: global issues. Though she doesn't take attendance, in order to take map quizzes and know when different quizzes, events, and do well on the test you need to go to class. Our book was an e-reader, not helpful at all. Sorta easy, but just take good notes and try to read.

Great Professor! Please come to class because attendance affects your grade. If you do not enjoy writing long papers however, this professor may not be your cup of tea.

Come to class AND buy all books!!! You will need them. Attendance is taken everyday. You will need the books because class is such a bore and test material is taken mostly from the readings. You will definitely work in this class, so do not take if you are not up for writing long papers.

takes attendance, weekly summaries for readings, midterm & final w/ study guides, two papers. very knowledgeable and understanding. her classes are hard work, but in return you will learn a lot. take her if you get the chance, you will see that your tuition $ will not be wasted!

Dr. Grussendorf is fun. Her class is not. Out of all the sessions, I fell asleep in about 80% of them. If I stayed awake, then I texted. She gets really off topic. Overall, she's very nice and her tests aren't too hard if you study.

Awesome teacher and awesome class. She really made me interested in politics and global rankings of the world. She is very clear of what she wants on her test and quizzes. Only way for you to fail this class is by not showing up. Literally, all her test are based on her lectures and i only read the book now and then. She give study guides. Got A+

AMAZING TEACHER!!! I am not a politics person whatsoever but I was actually excited about going to class thanks to Dr. Grussendorf. She made class waaay more interesting than I though any POLS class could ever be. If you have to take this class TAKE HER and if her classes are full wait until theres an opening. YOU WONT BE SORRY!! I PROMISE!!!!

She is AMAZING! I got a B in this course without purchasing the book. Could have gotten an A had I done the group discussions. As long as you attend class every session and take notes you'll be fine. She gives a study guide for the exams, which help greatly. She is a wonderful professor. TAKE HER!!

I don't know why there isn't a pepper for HOT beside grussendorf, She's amazing. I sat front row and got an a+. Wow. She works out. She's the BOMB. So perky. Mm.

Extremely difficult and unclear about what she wants in papers. However, she is incredibly sweet and will merely tell you that "you did not read the syllabus" in her chirpiest possible voice. The discussions that are led are extremely interesting, and it is worth going to class. She just isn't the fairest grader in the world.

Great Professor I attended all her lectures but ifyou dont like lectures just readthe book and you will do great!!!

Easy class if you study! You actually have to study and go to class in order to understand the material! She is a nice lady and I learned a lot from the course! but she does demand a lot! Online Discussions every week, unexpected map quizzes, online quizzes, and exams! >__<

She is an amazing professor! At first, I was scared of her class but as each class went by, it became more interesting and I wanted to know more. Great professor! Lectures were good and yes there were unexpected map quizzes. I would recommend this professor to anyone. Loved her!

Interesting and insightful teacher, relevant assignments, interesting class discussions and easy grader, would recommend to all levels

Amazing Professor! She really cares about the students she teaches. After every test she encourages you to go to her office hours no matter how many questions you missed. I could 1 or 30. Se is willing to help any student that asks for it. Would absolutely recommend her to all students.

I love this teacher, she is def. my favorite this semester. I take the honors cross-listed section and it is EXTREMELY difficult but so very worth it. I tried to get off with doing everything the day before hand and boy was I in for a surprise. I received two C+'s so now it's time to get my butt in gear. I love her though!!

GREAT teacher! VERY helpful! any doubts about an assignment or grades or anything she will be there to help you! You will have online class discussions to do at least every other week (easy). 4 pop map quizzes but she does drop hints for when the quizzes will be given so i recommend coming to class. online quizzes (easy,4 tests, no final!

Really passionate about the subject. She will get you interested and asking questions. 3-4 tests with study guides + SI sessions will REALLY help. She's really good with communicating as well. DEFINITELY recommend.

I am going to make this simple for global issues she is very easy & gives extra credit assigments. However her US Foreign policy class is not as easy...there is NO extra credit. You have to write A LOT...and she is very particular about she expects, and at some pts it is not clear on what that is. On the tests she expects quality real essays.

Her class if it is 3000 or above it is NOT EASY I repeat it is NOT EASY...Though I got an A it was not an easy A by no imagination. She expects a lot of writing..detailed writing..

She is so enthusiastic in the subject that you learn to appreciate it. The discussions are great and she always hands out study guides. She's very big on essay and short answer. After her class I really fell in love with global issues.She makes it fun and interesting.

Do the quizzes she posts on D2L repeatedly until you get a 100, they are the exact questions she has on the tests. Apart from that, go to class, and pay attention, if you are halfway competent, you will end up with atleast a B!

I loved her!! she was always so excited to come to class and teach. i have taken her for global issues before this class and loved her in that class too!

She is very passionate about what she teaches. Tends to ramble about things that are not on the tests. Online work is very helpful and easy toward your grade. Tests are not that difficult. Didn't even use the book.

Very passionate. Awesome teacher. Had her for Global Issues as well. One of the best at GSU

She loves her subject. Tends to ramble about nothing. Notes are somewhat helpful but SI sessions are great. You get a practice test that is exactly like the real test. Map quizzes are super easy. Online assignments are made to help boast your grade. Extra credit opportunities available. Don't need the book.

She's very sincere and knowledgeable. The tests were all done online because of some fluke weather issues and I felt the class was relatively easy to do well in but I learned A LOT from her to boot. There are extra credit opportunities too! Every 2401 class will have map quizzes but they're really not all that horrible!

"You want weapons? We're in a library. Books are the best weapon in the world. This room's the greatest arsenal we could have. Arm yourself!" She shared this quote in class. I love any professor who is a Doctor Who fan. Prof G is a passionate and animated lecturer. I found her courses uplifting and engaging. Grades fairly as well.

Good class. Highly informative and eye opening.

Professor Grussendorf is a very good professor. She makes you work for your grades and holds all accountable. Her teaching and expansive knowledge of U.S. Foreign Policy is extensive and very detailed. I learned a lot about this subject just by reading the articles she assigned. I thoroughly enjoyed this class because she enjoyed teaching it.

Professor G makes Global Issues interesting! She mostly lectures but it is interesting and she makes an effort to engage the class by discussions, videos, jokes, graphics, etc. The tests are pretty straightforward as long as you go over study guides and she puts everything plus extra resources online. Her online quizzes are easy if you go to class.

Great professor, although the class itself kind of drags sometimes. She definitely tries her best to make the class interesting, she just sometimes gets too into the subject (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). The tests are all multiple choice and aren't that bad. There a weekly discussions and she gives an extra credit essay at the end.

She was very cool. Makes you learn more about the Foreign Policy than you ever did . Tests can be hard but that's what college is for read upon what is assigned. In test be writing as much about the topic as possible. wish I could take her again but I'm done. Always there for the student.

Dr. Grussendorf is a consummate professional. She is very balanced in her high standard of expectations for the students and her understanding of those having a tough time with the material. She is very timely in her grading and has never been late to submit feedback. Her class is comprehensive and tempered beautifully. All over awesome!

Amazing Professor, who was engaged and had amazing lectures. I Learned More In Her Class Than In Any Class I Have Ever Taken In My Life. Incredibly insightful and every lecture was worth being there. I was one of the only underclassmen in the class, and was originally intimidated but she encouraged me to be involved and respected my input.

She's very nice and knows her stuff, but her accent and soft voice will put you to sleep. I learned a lot, but I wish her lectures were more focused so test scored would be as high as the other assignments. Overall good experience!

Sweetest professor I know! She really cares about her students and tries to answer all questions. Her lectures are clear. Don't write down everything you see on the slides, just the important stuff and what comes out of her mouth. Quizzes and tests aren't difficult if you pay attention. She gives extra credit! You'll be enlightened.

Great professor! Assignments are minimal, but when she grades, she's an easy grader who gives LOTS of feedback, meaning she even teaches you through her grading. Tests are fair. Multiple choice and an essay - if you read &amp; participate in class discussions, you'll do great in the class!

She is very enthusiastic and her lectures are interesting. As long as you do the modules and pay attention it is an easy A

If you are looking to take a POLS2401 class, this is the best professor. She is so passionate and very enthusiastic during her lectures which keeps you engaged. Her tests are easy A's- especially if you pay attention during her lectures and do all the modules. She is also very caring towards her students and will help you in any way she can.

best teacher!! this is the Second time i've taken her and she was just as amazing this time. midterm and final, research exercise (spells it out for you paragraph by paragraph - so easy), three in-class assignments and three reading assignments plus participation. not difficult!! make sure to stay ahead of the assignments and it will be a breeze!

I LOVED Professor Grussendorf! I took her Foreign Policy class as an elective, but ended up changing my major to Political Science because of her. She's an amazing lecturer who gives clear instructions. She's a tough grader, but fair and will help you improve. She's funny, kind, and extremely smart. She's by far the best teacher I've ever had.

LOVE her!! She is my favorite professor I have taken at GSU in the past 3 years!! Grading was clear and fair. Her tests were straight out of the modules. Learned a lot and really liked the new online reading modules.

She puts up the lecture powerpoints online She has a really cool vaguely British accent and is genuinely excited about what she teaches. The actual work is 8 article reports for the entire semester (we discuss them in groups in class and they're graded mostly for completion) We have 2 papers, midterm, &amp; a final but she'd super clear and grades well

Dr. Grussendorf is one of my favorite professors at GSU. I took FP with her 2 semesters ago and now I'm taking another class w/ her. Her lectures are amazing and engaging. She provides amazing feedback and makes the class really interesting. I would take her again if I wasn't graduating.

She is one of the best teachers on campus. She is epitome of a well respected teacher. She gains attention and respect without having to ask for it. Georgia State is very fortunate to have her onboard

I really love this professor, like i couldn't have asked for better. her study guides are actually study guides that help you. She is really caring also and doesn't take attendance. If you literally just attempt to do the work you should pass.

( Global Issues ) Half of the test questions are directly from the homework modules, gives plenty extra credit opportunities. Even if you dont pay attention all the time and study last minute, you should be able to earn a B in this class.

Professor Grussendorf is the epitome of awesome. All of the readings synthesized with each other so well, and her lectures were just really interesting. Do the reading assignments, don't miss class too often, and you'll be fine. Just a very caring, awesome person. Also her sense of style is immaculate and she has a great speaking voice.

I had Dr. Grussendorf for POLS 2401 summer semester. She made short introduction videos, so you knew exactly what was due each week. She responds quickly to students and gives feedback on all discussion boards and attendance videos. There were a lot of assignments due each week, so don't wait until the last minute. Tests are easy if you do the work

She doesnt give a lot of work, just the courseware and discussion posts. The courseware questions are also on the test so thats good. The class is really easy and just make sure you have enough time to finish what you need by the deadline. The course is also really interesting since it discusses about info thats relevant.

She was one of my favorite POLS professors at GSU, a lovely woman. Her class did require a good amount of reading, and the tests were essay based. However, I really felt like I learned a lot. I wish I could take her again. If you are actually interested in Political Science, she provides a lot of interesting articles and lectures.

Great feedback, super engaging (spoken from someone who hates social studies). Homework is most of your grade and it takes a while but its on an online platform and it isnt bad. Great study guides. Extra credit opportunity. Very kind and funny and responsive.

She's one of my favorite professors at GSU. You do have to do weekly readings and write notes for them but she grades based on completion so it was easy. The grade for the class is the reading notes, attendance videos, the midterm and the final. She also has a final analysis paper that is 6 pages but the reading notes help with that. She's amazing!

Dr. Grussendorf is great! I had her for U.S. foreign policy. Her exams are extremely straight forward and she makes sure that you have what you need for them. She does require that you show up to class for the in-class discussions as they are graded. You have to do a ton of reading but otherwise it's super easy to do well. You just have to try !!!!

Assignments were easy. Make sure to show up to class, attendance is very important. Honestly, just do the work and you'll be fine. We had weekly assignments but they were easy, just took time. Only tests were our midterm and our final, which were all written exams. It's a writing-heavy class. But overall, the teacher is incredibly helpful.

Professor Grussendorf is an excellent teacher! It was a lot of work, but enjoyable work. The material was interesting. Plenty of opportunities to get grades, expectations are clear, plus she dropped our lowest few assignments and offered extra credit opportunities. Take this class.

Attendance is a must, but the work is manageable. Utilize Unstuck AI alongside the course materials - it really helps with the writing-heavy assignments.
