This guy is a nut. easy A though, can't complain.

Professor Nederveen Pieterse is truly a great professor I'm so happy I took his class! Globl 123 was informative and the readings were relevant and interesting to each weekly topic. He is an easy grader and just wants students to learn. also if you go to his office hours he's super helpful. Also his lectures were very clear to follow to me. 9/10

He is a kind man but not a good professor. He does not use lecture slides or anything; the class completely lacked structure. For exams, there were no study guides. Very dense readings would be assigned and not at all discussed or explained in lecture. It was very hard to succeed in this class, and I largely only did because of a massive curve.

This was by far the worst class I have ever taken. The professor seems like a good person, and is obviously very knowledgeable and well respected in his field however he falls short as a teacher. The lectures were unorganized and impossible to follow. Midterm was announced a week before, and we had no idea what would be on it. Dont take this class.

I only lasted 30 minutes in his INTRODUCTION lecture. He is hard to understand and cold-calls people to answer. He doesn't know how to use Canvas so it's difficult to find the resources he wants you to read. He assigned 2 textbooks. I tried hard to pay attention but he jumps around a bit so it's hard to follow his train of thought.

best professor in the globl departmart!!! so inspirational! wow!
