Dr Grant is not as bad as some people have asserted. He is ALWAYS available if you need help, and I can tell that he ABSOLUTELY cares about his students 1000%. The people who don't do well don't come to class & don't read the book; I have no sympathy for them. Perhaps he is slightly monotone, but he's good and IMHO the best gov professor @ GGC.

I adore Dr.Grant!! He is the most approchable man ever and he really seems to love what he's teaching. No, his class isn't terribly entertaining but he wasn't hired to be a showgirl! I learned a lot and feel like I gained a friend on the staff in the process. Would take him again in a heartbeat.

Dr. grant is extremely helpful and very easy to talk to. He expects alot on his tests and you'll have to study hard to get an A. Great teacher, breaks things down and goes at the class's pace. Very understanding and the most bipartisant teacher I have EVER had... its the last day of class and I have no idea where he stands politically.

Soft-spoken, kind, intelligent, a bit monotone. His exams are a little extreme due to time constraints: 30 multiple choice, 4 short answer, and an entire essay all within 50 minutes. He gives a study guide so there are no surprises. Just study and allocate your time well and you'll be fine. Quite possible to get an A in his class.

The class is easy. The tests can be a little challenging. But he provides a study guide, as long as you study it, you'll do fine. There are plenty of assignments and extra credit opportunities to help your grade. I recommend this professor, if you plan on actually doing your work. If you're hoping to get by with no effort, don't bother.

He is the most monotone, absent minded very slow person I have ever met. YOU NEED YOUR TEXT BOOK! His lectures have nothing to do with the chapter we are reading, so no point to come to class. He never sticks with any of assignments. He's a tough grader especially on exam essays. You might as well stay home and read and show up on test day.

He is a laid back teacher. Likes to just do his own thing. Teaching and lectures are different amongst all other professors. Test are take home essays. He wants you to pass his class and he will help you whenever you need help.

Great teacher. I would definitely recommend him. His class is pretty easy and he doesn't expect too much from you. Just that you read the assigned chapters and study for quizzes

I saw a lot of vague negative responses about this professor. His lectures are actually very helpful in adding more detail other than what the text gives, but it requires a person to be more attentive to him instead of the PowerPoint. The slides are just highlights of the chapters that he goes through and you can read the chapters yourselves to see

Very likable guy, he no longer teaches from power points as of this semester-at first I did not like his methods but then I realize this method of discussion helped more than I thought, you had to read the book or it is pointless for you to even try, only grades- all take home essays which are easy if you read/listen in class.

This class was extremely interesting. Dr. Grant really knows his government and how to teach. If you are able to read the chapters, take notes and do the assigned work you will do fine! The test questions are worded a little tricky but he grades on a curve so do not worry. Also as long as you are not "bs" in your paper, you will do well on those.

Dr. Grant is very passionate about Political Science. He is very kind, but he is also a very tough grader!I personally don't care for POL but if you have an interest in the course, you can pass so long as you read/study! YOU HAVE TO!He lets you know this is college and he isn't going to dumb down his exams and expectations!I enjoyed him!

i took him for Poly sc. He is tough grader (3 test) each test is 3 queastions and each one is 10pages each. Must read book and TALK in class! He really pushed me to do better i give him that i thought i was going to get a C and i got a B. He pushed me to do the best i could i got C on the first two test he kept pushing! but he is HARD! not easy.

I really enjoyed Dr. Grant. He has a passion for POLS as well as teaching it. He is a difficult grader for test but if you read the chapter(that's the point of buying one) you will be able to follow clearly. If you are looking for a bird course and not interested in learning anything then DO NOT take this course or any other course at GGC.

He is a great professor! Don't listen to the people below. He is a tough grader but if you take notes, go to class, read, and come up with thorough answers for the essay tests then you're set. He gives the potential essay questions two weeks ahead of time so if you procrastinate you won't do well.

He's alright. People will say he's the worst, but he just bases the tests on the lectures and the reading. He is very nice and is willing to talk to you about assignments or questions. The class can get boring but make sure to take notes on lectures and you'll do fine.

Cares about your success, down to earth guy... he does a lot of lectures but often tries to engage with the class as much as possible. Not the greatest professor, but certainly not the worst either.

Dr Grant cares about the student. Be prepared to read before going to class. Total of 4 Test and a Final. Make sure that you try to go to class everyday, because his test consists with his lectures.

Reading is key. If you read the chapters before class, you'll realize everything he discusses in his lectures is in the book. The class is based mostly on exams, but he decided to give us two essays which helped my grade a lot because I'm a bad tester. If you read, you should do ok. It helped a lot that he had a textbook on hold in the library.

I hate the rep I'm seeing for Grant under these comments. This professor is an extremely passionate teacher, who obviously is very knowledgeable and well informed about what he's teaching. On top of that he has a subtle humor that makes the content that much more interesting. If you're considering taking one of his classes, I suggest you go for it.

He is funny and very wise! He loves to connect with his students and make his lectures entertaining. Yeah, you might have to read the textbook (which is available online for free), but he hands out study guides a week before each test! He gives good feedback and is very understanding. He drops the lowest test grade.

i typically do not do reviews for professors (typically meaning never lol), but having taken this course i had an amazing time with mr. grant as a professor. its so easy to tell that he's educated on what he's talking about, and he has the kind of knowledge that you know comes with time and deep understanding of the concepts. i love this man 10/10

Dr. Grant is one of the nicest Profs at GGC. His lectures may be long, and his exams challenging - but he CARES about you and the grade you receive, and always makes sure that you understand the material. He kept the POLS class/conversations as neutral as possible. I really don't understand the negative feedback some of you have given him.

I don't understand a bunch of ratings on here. Dr. Grant is the OG. If you ever listen to his actual banter besides class, he's just too based for people in GGC I guess. I enjoy that he has a conservative spin for politics and this even isn't that bad. I've had female teachers in the liberal arts department push insanely liberal stuff on me.

I think he's trying to do better. He asked for a lot of feedback from students on tests, made them pretty easy with a good level of challenging. He was a delight in class and he has a lot of really great connections. He's very understanding and cares for his students. Pay attention in class + take some notes + doing your connect assignments = A

He's a good professor. Very attentive. Responds quick. Reachable at all times. He does extra credit which helps with test grades because they are difficult. He uses UConnect for textbook and assignments. I took him over the summer online. It was very fast paced but that's because it was a summer class. Communication is key with Mr. Grant.

Nice professor, if you are one to recognize the wise, you will appreciate your experience

He is really nice, his lectures can get boring, but he really does care about his students! We used the MC graw hill textbook and had a few exams that were't really bad as long as you are completing the assignments on there you should be fine! He does want you to stay updated with political news.

One of the nicest teachers I have ever had and really cares. His lectures are pretty intersting and if you pay attention you should be straight.

One of the nicest and caring professors I have ever taken. We had 3 writing exams for the whole semester, super easy and clear guidelines. His lectures were always interesting! If you want to have a general understanding about the topics, make sure to read and take some notes on the chapters of the textbook. 100% would take again.

I took this class back in 2023. He's very kind and caring, the assignments were on McGraw hill so, it can be a lot of work. He's lecture heavy but it's because he wants you to learn. Overall, this class isn't hard if you apply yourself enough and listen a little.

Easy just do hw online and hes reachable just do the work

Prof. Grant is a very wise and respectable teacher. Really responsive to emails and questions, loves to chat in class. His class can be a bit boring to get through, but to be honest, it's passable even if you don't go to many classes. Everything you need is on McGraw Hill Connect.

I look Mr. Grant for POLS 1101 and I by fr loved him. H was so nice and caring and his test were super easy!! I would definitely take him again!!

Such a sweet guy, he really cares about his students and wants you to take in what he's teaching. I can tell he's very passionate about his profession. Very lecture heavy as well as quite a bit of homework but he did extend deadlines if we needed it. Provided very helpful study guides and allowed zoom calls to follow along in class if absent.

He makes you aware of what's happening in the U.S and expects you to also. Uses McGraw-Hill, LOTS of assignments on there. But gives you plenty of time to complete it, and if you asked for more time, he would consider it. He's very nice and wants to know his students. He does call you out if you stay on your phone during class.

He was my favorite professor this semester! He was kind, very passionate about the subject matter, and always willing to help. He gave extensions and supported anyone who asked. Sadly, some students were disrespectful and didn't appreciate how much he cared or how much effort he put into the class and definitely took advantage of that..

Ignore all reviews except this one. I took in person he doesnt care if you show up at all tbh, you can literally easily get a A+ just do all McGraw Hill online work, even the test are on there with no lockdown browser or camera its literally as easy grade yeah his teaching isnt the best but who cares this is a intro class.

Dr Grant is passionate about political science and cares deeply about his students. His lectures are perhaps his weakest aspect as they tend to drone and veer way off topic. Overall though, it was a fine class and I enjoyed having him as a professor. Just do all the homework and be sure to know the material for the tests and you'll get an easy A.

I'm surprised to see Dr. Grant have so many low ratings! I do remember the class being quite lecture heavy so it does understandably get a bit boring, but he's very knowledgeable about American Government and politics and as a result, happily cleared any questions I had!
