Reviews of professor Robert Groves

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Provost Groves is a kind man and he clearly cares about the topic. However, there was ZERO transparency around grading, despite classmates asking every class how our scores would be converted into letter grades. In the end, we felt betrayed by the fact that our hardly different scores (all between 74-84) were turned into A to C-! Don't take :(

the ignatius seminar required loads of effort each week and the grading was very ambiguous. I applied for this course thinking it would be a fun, interesting class that would help me adjust to university coursework but instead ended up being my hardest class and did not pay off.

The provost is a legend. Hilarious guy who is genuinely looking to learn with the students in his seminar. Great mentor who cares a ton about his students.

Provost Groves was a good professor who truly cares about his students. Although the Ignatius Seminar was at times boring he often contributed really relevant and unique experiences that he has had to liven up the material. Very knowledgable and grades the responses pretty strict but you'll learn and get better grades quickly.

Provost Groves is a really nice person who cares about his students and their overall success. I personally found the class material to be really dry, and I was not interested in it at all. We had weekly response paragraphs that were initially graded really toughly, but he gives pretty decent feedback that allows you to improve over time.
