Reviews of professor Gary Greaves

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof Greaves is honestly an amazing professor. He makes everything very clear, and has a lot of insight about what we are learning. There's 3 papers, 2 quizzes, a final and a final paper, but there's a lot of space between everything. He is very nice and honestly wants to see you do well. If you need to take politics take him!

Going into this class I was very uninterested about politics but professor greaves made the class very fun and interactive. He is very smart and knows a lot about this subject. There are 4 papers along with quizzes/tests throughout the semester but he always prepared us very well. I took this class as a gen-ed and would definitely recommend!!

His lectures can sorta diverge from the main point and he goes on tangents often but it's fine because he always ends up covering the topic thoroughly. He makes his expectations super clear and is very accommodating. He's super kind and made me excited to go to class I never felt like it was a drag! I totally recommend him

I took him for Introduction to the American Political System. He teaches well and his tests and quizzes are based on the notes you take from hearing him teach. I would say he's kind of meticulous when it comes to tests so make sure you study.

Prof Greaves was a great instructor all throughout the semester. As long as you pay attention in class, you'll do fine on the quizzes and exams. There are a few writing assignments but those are also fairly simple. The only downside of his class was that there was a final exam AND paper during finals week, so it was a bit of an inconvenience.

He was a good professor but tended to go on tangents and was a little all over the place. Im a nursing major and do not have much interest in Politics but he made it interesting and I actually learned something.  There are a total of 3 papers, 2 quizzes, and a final exam and paper; He will always move due dates if need be.

Honestly I enjoy his lectures because he makes them so interesting and he is such a sweet guy. Always open to questions about anything and makes every effort to explain everything in great detail. Lecture heavy so make sure you go because exams and quizzes are heavily based on what he teaches. Definitely would take again!

A great professor, definitely not impossible to get an A. If you think you have to "study super hard" to past his tests than you're just dumb.
