Robert Grimm HONR349I Anonymous 05/21/2012	First of all, let me start by saying that Professor Grimm himself is awesome - he is a great lecturer, he is hilarious and very nice. However, I gave him a 3 because of his philanthropy honors seminar class I took this past semester. I have taken three years of classes at UMD, and this single honors seminar has been the MOST WORK I HAVE EVER HAD IN ONE CLASS. There are about 7 papers to write (and the papers are graded HARSHLY because the TA's are terrible), and you have to schedule many meetings outside of class and go off campus to visit places on the weekends. The TA's count how many times you speak in class, and then the top several people who spoke the most gets an A, etc. So if you are rather shy or untalkative, you are at a disadvantage. If you want an A in participation, you need to literally talk over everyone else. If you are looking for an easy A (or B even), do NOT take this philanthropy class. End of.
