Dr. Grover is a professor who truly cares about his students. If you have good attendance, participate, study ahead of time, and do well on the exams/quizzes -- you will pass his class. Dr. Grover is one of the sweetest professors and makes class fun during lectures (lots of laughs during discussion). Dr. Grover also loves the Farmers Market.

Grover's tests are almost unreasonably hard. He's a super sweet guy, but he acts as though he expects all his students to have a lot of background information on the material. He will not offer any extra credit, and your grade in the class is made up of 3 quizzes and 3 tests. There's no homework, but he always has at least 10 articles to read.

Professor Grover was a really sweet professor however that's the only good thing I can say. The class grade is made up of 3 quizzes and three exams. It's hard to make up a grade if you do badly on an exam. The exams are essay-based and extremely difficult because he gives so many topics to memorize and on top of that, he's an extreme grader. Wo

He is a nice guy but some of his discussions are pointless. Hard to understand what he is saying. You can only write about what HE says on the exams. If you do extra research on the study guide to get more information he will NOT give you credit. Very hard grader, if you fail one exam you will have no way to make up your grade.

way harder than expected, really hard to understand him at times, and the slides he uses for lectures make no sense. there is no graded homework but he assigns articles to read often. the tests are extremely hard and he is tough when it comes to grading. he expects you to know everything and have the same POV/opinion as him on all the topics.

Dr. Grover is very kind and is willing to accommodate your needs. He is very passionate about global studies. I found his class fascinating. Reading the textbook is crucial. He is a hard grader on exams and his quizzes are very difficult. If you are struggling in his class, email him or talk to him after class, and he will try to help you.
