Fundação Getulio Vargas (EAESP)

As everywhere - there`re great classes as well as bad. So it depends on the teacher and your interests. I think it`s very subjective. The choice of courses IN ENGLISH is rather limited (so that`s why I put low grade for this). But if you speak Portuguese then you have great variety of courses! I took: 1) Politics and Culture in Brazil (prof. Jose Carlos Garcia Durand) - good course (good to know at least a little bit of the country; the prof. uses a lot of DVDs and films; a prof. is a bit chaotic; the course is not hard to pass; you will have midterm exam and than final exam) 2) Managing People Managing Psychological Proccesses (prof. Sigmar Malvezzi) - course ok (you have to write 2-3 papers during the course and than 1 disertation and the final exam so there`s a bit of work; I really didn`t understand fully the subject of the course) 3) The Dynamics of Brazilian BUsiness (prof. Vicky Jones) - very good course; prof. Jones is great; you`ll learn a lot about the contry; there`re a lot of guest speakers (sometimes good, sometimes bad); pretty much of work (5 papers during the semester, 1 group project, final exam) 4) Branding (prof. Paulo Standerski) - very good course; prof. Standerski is really good and in the topic; you`ll use a lot of cases during the class; workload (4 summaries of the cases, 1 group project + presentation, final exam)

The brazilian teachers are better than the international ones. Do not take to many courses with these ones. Sigmar Malvezzi, Ibere Arco e Flexa, Paulo Standerski, David Hastings and Tedeschi are great! There are also very popular brazilian politicians teaching at GV.

The University is not very academic. The quality of courses and teachers differs very much. Especelly for exchange students there are some very useless courses!

Get the list for the courses asap!! We got the list very late & had to hurry up for the registration!!

Better information for exchange students at the beginning! Exchange student should have access to the intranet BEFORE they register so that they can have the syllabus that are IN the INTRANET?!

DO NOT TAKE THE COURSE IF POLITICS AND CULTURE -- READ BOOKS INSTEAD

- avoid "politcs and culture in brazil", just buy the more interesting course literature: Boris Fausto, História Concisa do Brasil!!
