Reviews of professor Gary Greaves

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took Greaves' Intro to the American Political Systems class and it was so much fun! Yes his lectures are a bit all over the place, but he really teaches the material well. His course covers the constitution while working in real life scenarios. I am a nursing student and his class did not a heavy work load at all!

Knows his stuff, but goes off on tangents multiple times throughout the class. Talks too much about things that don't pertain to the course material. Doesn't give an A to anyone and is very picky and harsh with grading. If you study hard you'll do well on the tests/quizzes but don't get your hopes up with the writing assignments.

I found politics so boring until I took this class. I learned so much in his class and it's a very interesting class. there are 3 writing assignments which were a drag. for his quizzes and test he's very clear on what to expect but you have to study in order to pass. very straightforward on what to expect. take this professor!!

A little overwhelming for a first year course. he required us to attend a zoom class with a writing coach for our basic assignments where they would only ask if we had questions and then let us go, so that was inconvenient. The tests are fair but you have to listen in class. He also calls on people who dont have their hand raised

Overall, I thought Professor Greaves was great with explaining every topic that we went over. He would get a bit side track when we were taking notes but it was always based on questions that a student may have asked in class. There is a textbook that we do need for this course but honestly you only need it in the beginning of the year.
