Grover is not a bad professor, but she sure does like assigning wayyyyy to many concepts on Connect. Her assignments are averaging roughly around 60 concepts, whereas other econ professors only assign about 30 concepts on Connect. In other words, be prepared to spend countless hours on Connect.
Prof Grover is a really nice one. She got a lot of extra credit for students and give you a lot of practices for quizzes and final. Participation is not mandatory but you can learn a lot from the lectures and sections. There will be 2 group projects, start earlier could be helpful and do a lot of practices.
Portfolio presentations were fun. The guest judges cared about your rationale.
Brought in a lot of guest speakers. Learned a lot.
Brought in a lot of guest speakers- super helpful to hear from so many professionals in the field.
Amazing professor- really caring and supportive. Grover makes accounting interesting and easy to understand.
Grover never responds to emails. NEVER. Attending lectures is useless either. You need to study yourself. Not difficult for an A
Homework, quiz 60%, project 30%. 100 questions homework every week takes at least an hour. 2 group projects with one presentation which I like. Weekly quiz is 10 questions with 20 mins, so you have to do to another 100 practice to quick response. Easy to run out of time. Interactive lecture was interesting, and she's knowledgeable and practical.
I was impressed by Grover when I took her class during Spring of 2020 remotely. On the first midterm, the class average was extremely low because of the lack of time we had to do each problem. However, she was understanding and increased the time for the next midterm and gave us 700 practice problems similar to the ones on the tests. She's fair.
She was so unclear with the grading, especially with the tests and projects. Grilled people on topics that weren't included in class during project presentations. She couldn't go a single day without making multiple mistakes in class. She would stare at the board for 5 minutes before she realized what was wrong. It was awkward and embarrassing
She overcompensates for at home exams with test length/difficulty. The first midterm had an average of 52% -- her solution? upload 700 practice questions. Yes, because when a prof gets a failing average, it's the on STUDENTS to make up for it by spending even MORE time studying, rather than making the test more reasonable. makes sense.
