Reviews of professor Nicholas Grossman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Attendance isn't mandatory and lecture slides are posted online, but the material is definitely revisited on the midterms. I'd recommend going to class just because he makes lectures interesting. The textbook wasn't needed most of the semester if I recall correctly, but you do need to reference it for your final paper.

Grossman is a great professor. The courses he teaches in he loves, he is really nice to students, and he has his own news site he publishes in. It's obvious he knows a lot about the subject matter, Terrorism and terrorism studies, and it really shines through when he is able to break such complex topics down to be understandable so easily to us.

Professor Grossman is fantastic, he enjoys applying foreign relations topics to current events so be sure to follow the news throughout this class. His lectures are interesting and bring different viewpoints into the classroom. Overall a solid choice for any class.

Professor Grossman is awesome. Even on Zoom, I still found his lectures to be engaging and interesting. He's especially knowledgeable on topics like cybersecurity and terrorism. He is very friendly and can answer just about any IR-related question. Overall a great professor, I learned a lot in his class and plan on taking more of his classes!

Not much to say. Cool professor. Lectures are interesting, especially for (but not limited to) PoliSci students. The entire course consists of three papers, a final paper, and lectures -- very straightforward. Would definitely recommend as an easy GPA boost.

Professor Grossman is one of my favorite professors at the university. He is very intelligent and his lectures are always entertaining. If you want to learn, he makes it fun and enjoyable. This is the 3rd class I have taken of his and each course was great.

Big dad energy. Grade is three short 2p reaction papers, and one 7p final paper. All topics of your choice, related to the readings for that week. Papers graded by TA, though. Grossman is very open to guiding the lecture to what students want to talk about. Syllabus isn't always followed but it doesn't really affect you. Funny guy. Knows his stuff.

Incredible professor. He is funny, clearly interested in his field, and highly knowledgeable. Although the syllabus states that attendance is mandatory, it realistically is not. However, do not exploit that. The way he teaches truly allows you to comprehend the material and laughing is never bad. Would take again. Got plans to take a course later.
