Good professor enjoyed his class

Class as a whole is pretty simple as long as you do the homework assignments and study for the tests. It was a breeze and Grabbatin is a wonderful teacher!

Very good lectures. Should have used the book more. It was difficult to pick out which information we needed to know from the book.

Mr. Grabbatin is an outstanding instructor who is extremely knowledgeable about Geography. He uses many different types of media for his instructions, like podcasts, videos, slides, handouts and computer use. Expect to do your homework assignments including required readings and this will make the class easy for you.

Mr. Brain is a real cool teacher and knows his material very well. He helps the students out a lot.

Very interested in what he does. goes a little fast at times but keeps the class upbeat. willing to work with students. all together good class

Man,he was super cool. A lot of printing but you learn a lot with the worksheets and podcasts.

Professor Grabbatin really shows the relevance of world geography to daily life in this class. His enthusiasm about this subject keeps you interested through the lectures.

Overall I enjoyed the class and I saw that you actually have to study for the test and do the classwork. I learned alot of new things and I liked the the videos we watched.

Brian is a well prepared instructor who shows enthusiasm for the subject. Willing to assist with students in the various projects assigned.

Very Interesting Class. Really glad I took this class. I know so much more about the regions of the world. This class has inspired me to travel. I would encourage anyone to take this class.

Prof Grabbatin is a great teacher and shows he cares about students success. On every test you know what to expect from the powerpoint slides.

Overall Prof Grabbatin is a great Geography prof. He is very knowledgeable and always willing to help. Everything you need to know for the exams can be found in the study questions at the end of each lecture making studying much simpler. Just be prepared to do a lot of printing for this class!

GREAT TEACHER. LEARNED A LOT

good class i really enjoyed. the world doesnt seem so big now...

Overall the class was great. Some of the readings were long.

Very well spoken man. Really enjoyed his class. A lot of homework, but it help prepared you for the next class.

Prof.Grabbatin is very knowledgable. He has worked hard on presentations that make it easier to learn the material.It is apparent he enjoys teaching the class, his enthusiasm is contagious. He is always available to help his students and wants them to learn and succeed. I have enjoyed his class and am glad to have had him as an instructor.

Overall an interesting class. Learned a lot. Love that he uses different mediums in his teaching, such as music and film. Some of the readings are long, but at least read over them, because you'll see them on the test! He's is very clear about what his tests cover and is always willing to help.

Professor was always early to class, organized, and presented the material in a way that encouraged outside reading, etc.

Pretty good professor

Wonderful class! For my first online class I was impressed and realized the self determination it takes to really keep up with work and somewhat self-teach myself. However, Professor Grabbatin made it as simple and easy as possible. Thank you!

Enjoyed this class a lot. I have to give credit to my professor for working with me, and definitely keeping my interest with different tid bits, videos, and projects. Highly recommended!

He is a great guy. Very willing to work with you and offers to meet with students almost every week for assistance with HW/Tests. The tests are very hard and there are A TON of readings, but he gives several extra credit opportunities so basically if you try at all you will pass. I would suggest him

He is a great teacher! Works with you as much as possible. Although it is an online class, he is willing to meet at the campus, and has days he is available to meet. Over all this class was great, learned a lot more than I honestly thought I would. The work was not difficult, but you had to think to answer. HIGHLY recommended!

He is an awesome teacher. He always gives very clear instructions, lots of resources, and opportunities for extra credit. There is a lot of reading, but he gives us interesting topics. I would definitely take other classes from him.

I took this class over the summer at MTC and it was very good! It was an online class so I got to work at my own pace which I liked. There are 2 projects and 3 exams you have to take along with weekly assignments. Overall, this was a very easy class if you keep up with the work!

Easy teacher even though there was a lot to read but the readings were interesting. As long as you reviewed your notes then tests were easy too. I usually spent 3-6 hours per week working on assignments. Very helpful teacher with quick responses to emails.

Would definitely recommend this professor! Very eagar to help students in anyway possible and the reading material and assignments are very interesting. This was the only course that I took over the summer - would not recommend taking this course with another class requiring a lot of work time since a lot of material is covered over the semester.

Professor Grabbatin is a very helpful teacher! I took the class online over the summer (it was my only class) but it didn't take a ton of effort! Work must be completed every week, but it's not too difficult to do all the work within 2-5 hours! Tests must be taken on campus, but are not too difficult! Highly recommended!

He was clear and helpful. The Exams corresponded with the information that was learned. Great class overall.

The class isn't hard if you keep up with your notes(had 3 other online classes,time management was hard). I didn't like that I had to go all the way to the Airport Campus for an unnecessary orientation and that all the tests were done on campus. None of my other courses required me to go to campus. Don't know my grade yet, but it's probably a B.

This was my first online class ever, & it turned out pretty well. There are assignments each week that arn't too hard but be prepared to spend a few hours doing them. There were 3 exams, but if you go by his study guides you should have no problem passing them. Just don't wait to the last minute to do any of his assignments.

Mr.Grabbatin is a very cool teacher. If I ever needed any help he was always there to help me. As long as you study the notes and do all the weekly assignments, the class is pretty easy.

Good teacher. Just read the powerpoints and lecture notes and review well for the tests. The exams are all multiple choice and pretty easy and straightforward. I would definitely recommend him.

The class is great, and he is very willing to help. A decent workload, but not unmanageable, and the subject matter is presented in an interesting manner. Easy to recommend. He won't tell you what questions you missed on tests though unless you physically come in though, so that was pretty much my only irritation.

Easy to understand

Very great Class. Really glad I took this it. I know much more about the regions of the world. This class has made me want to travel. I would recommend anyone to take this class.

He does a very good job of presenting his information to the class. He does a great job of making the class interesting. Overall he is one of the better teachers that I have had in my life.

He is a very good professor, he worked well with online students. I would definitely advise anyone to take his class.

Real easy class if you take the time to pay attention in class and study outside of class, definitely.

very good teacher

Great professor!

Good professor. As a student, you have to take the time to actually focus on your work. Its kind of tough having all your work through d2l but you can manage.

very good teacher. explains material well but you still have to study a lot for the test

Proffesor Grabbatin is an awesome proffesor who helps in any way he can. He is fair in his grading and really cares about the class. Just do the homework and its a guranteed atleast b-

Grabbatin is a really cool professor that really cares about Geography. He does a good job of educating people about the world around them. Grabbatin shows how history effects the present and how different parts of the world work together as one

He's a great professor, he knows what he's talking about. 1thing that bothered me is he said he would give Xtra credit based on how many of us completed teacher evaluations, but when 65% of class did evals, he said he wasn't giving extra credit for that. He had never previously said there was a minimum requirement. Kind of a jerk move. So watch out

He had a slow start to the Class but when we got done with the first section he improved and turned into a lot of fun. He really wants you to pass and helps all he can

He is a great teacher but too much work for a class like this. He gives you a long paper that needs a 14 source bibliography and a presentation which is way harder than anything I've done in English class. There are easier classes out there. If you dont care bout the class and just want the credit like me, take a different class

Takes a very long time to complete the homework each week.The mapping assignments using Google Earth are somewhat challenging. Research paper sounds scary, but isn't that bad, besides finding 14 sources. The professor is very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. He responds to questions promptly & clearly.

Mr. Grabbatin was an exceptional online professor. He is consistent with assignments and is sure to post his office hours and upcoming assignments/news in the appropriate sections. My only complaint would be the Google Earth assignments, which are EXTREMELY hard! However, he is attentive and fair. I would recommend him!

great teacher

In general the class was good. I didn't do a ton of the work, but still, I feel like my grade was fair. The lectures weren't so boring as to be unbearable, and all of his class rules were reasonable and justified. I would take this class again.

Great teacher, really pushes you to learn the subject. If you actually try to succeed and show the effort you will get a great grade.

Prof. Grabbatin really cares about you as a student. He wants you to succeed and gives opportunities so that you can. If you have any questions he help you. I would take a class by him again.

Such great lectures! Very passionate about the subject and uses a lot of "hands-on" work to help you learn, (Videos, podcasts, readings, etc.) I am enjoying his class alot.

I don't know how you could say anything negative about Mr. Grabbatin. He is very clear about what he expects of you, and if you put in the work the class is not hard. He tells you exactly what is going to be on the tests, and is always there for his office hours if you need help. I also liked how he kept us updated with emails. I highly recommend.

Don't really understand why he's teaching at a community college level. Great professor, and very detailed lectures. Makes the class interesting and is pretty upfront with what he expects from you. If you do the work and study you should do great. His only downside is that he doesnt allow technology during lecture; making it hard to take good notes

I took this class online and it is a lot of work. It was not really difficult but there was a lot of work to do. Make sure you start the work early on, if you start late, there will be a slim chance that you will be able to complete everything plus the test. That being said, he is a very good professor and will help you any chance he can get.

Grabbatin is a bit of a tough professor but if you show effort he notices. Study hard for the tests and participate in extra credit and you will be good to go.

Mr. Grabbatin is a wonderful professor, he is very lecture heavy but makes it interesting, I was nervous about the difficulty of the course at first, but if you put in the effort, you will receive a good grade. He even emailed me afterwards and asked if I needed any letters of recommendation or anything! Super caring, and super knowledgeable!

Prof. Grabbatin makes you work hard for your grade. However, he is very passionate and you will learn a lot from him. He gives study guides that cover everything that will be on the tests. You have to study really hard though because his tests are pretty difficult. Very organized to the T.

I suffered from technical issues during the first week of class and wasn't able to access the course, but I explained the problem right away and he called me into his office to try and sort things out. When he found I wasn't lying, he was very supportive and helped me get things back on track. He'll make you work, make no mistake, but he WILL help.

I honestly enjoyed his class. He made learning fun. He does give a lot of work, but never so much that it is overwhelming, and he also explains everything in detail so that you know exactly what is expected out of each project. He also has a great personality and is easy to talk to.

I took the professor class during spring semester and he is amazing! you have a test and mapping assignment every week that are open notes and book. Then you have two unit test during the semester. He is very helpful and understanding. He helped me prepare for the final exams very well. I could not have been more thankful that I took his class!

Grabbatin is a good teacher. His classes are fun and easy to understand, you need the textbook but he tells you what to read. Tests are heavy but he replaces the lowest grade with the final. There are also to Lab reports that are part of your great. Online lab is fun and only lasts half of the semester the other half is the field trips and reports.

Dr. Grabbatin is one of those instructors you can tell are truly passionate about the subject they teach. This makes his work feel less like work, and his classes feel more like hour long conversations. He is an excellent instructor who rewards hard work.

Brian Grabbatin is one of the best choices at Midlands Technical College for any GEO classes I have ever taken. He knows the material and he will help you as best he can comprehend and learn. Grades are easy as long as you DO THE ASSIGNMENTS GIVEN! I would definitely take him again.

I love his teaching style. He lectures from powerpoints and shows you videos that correlate. His tests are 100% from the pwrpoint/lectures. He gives you study guides that give you EXACTLY what's on the test. You have an online lab (which is easy) and, as a class, you go on field trips. I would 100% take this class again. It's been so fun and easy!

Freaking amazing teacher, almost made me change my major just to take more of his classes

Was one of the most respected professor's I've had in my higher education... really wants to connect with students 1-to-1. Assigns a good bit of book work but is beneficial for the exams. Would totally recommend to anyone.

Felt like he was an easy grader if you got your work done on time. You read a lot out of the textbook. Participation is crucial. Doesn't do it often, but he once kicked kids out of the zoom meeting when they did not respond to him asking them a question. His lectures are packed full of information. Just do the homework and you'll be fine.

really surprised to see so many negative ratings. i really enjoyed his class and it's not that difficult to do well in.

I can tell that Dr. Grabbatin loves what he does. While he uses the book as a resource & foundation for the course, he is very knowledgeable about the goings-on in the world and teaches from his experiences and his passion and not just from the book. He gave me a greater perspective on the world. Yes, there was a lot of work, but it was rewarding.

I thought he was caring and wanted to make sure you understand what your talking about. The material itself is not too hard but you do have to read a lot of the textbook.

Prof. Grabbatin is an awesome professor. I enjoyed his lecturing method. He uses powerpoints to teach the material but some questions will have to be found in the book. As long as you show up, do the homework, read the book and participate you'll get a good grade. Participation is key in group projects. Very caring and also provides extra credit.

Professor Grabbatin is fantastic. Even though GEO 205 I01 is an online class, he makes the content enjoyable. There are weekly open note quizzes, along with mastering geo assignments and weather and national park reports. The course is fairly simple, but each work must be done on time. However, Professor Grabbatin is always here to help everyone.

Prof. Grabbatin's class is fantastic! Engaging lectures, short research projects, and challenging tests. It covers economy, government, and culture-related issues. Extra credit and 5 points are added to test scores and are highly recommended! Take World Geography 102, it's the better than history 202.

Another great geo class with Grabbatin. Took online. Fun projects (going to Congaree Park, identifying clouds) and he stays easy to reach outside of class. Midterm and Final are hard because it's a lot of info to remember, but the projects and weekly assignments aren't bad. Quizzes are open book. Take his in-class person when you can, he's great.

Prof. Grabbatin's Geography class was excellent. I visited Congaree National Park, learned about weather reports, and identified clouds. Also, we studied Mesa Verde National Park. Assignments included weekly quizzes, study guides, midterm and final exams, and extra credit opportunities. I recommend taking this class in person.

My favourite professor at Midlands Tech! I find his lectures to be engaging, the research projects were simple to do, way better than writing an essay. He provides plenty of resources to succeed, such as study guides, mapping practice, & practice tests. Always there if you need help w/ anything. Would definitely take one of his classes again.

I was really nervous to take my first ever online course, but Prof Grabbatin has made it SO easy! If you stay on top of your work, there's nothing to worry about. He provides you with all the resources you need, posts weekly updates, is very available outside of class, and genuinely wants you to succeed. I highly recommend taking his class!

One of my first classes at Tech and great first impression. You will have to put in a bit of work to get good grades consistently, but the subject is interesting and Prof Grabbatin is passionate and caring. Loved it, would take it again.

Very knowledgeable! This was a class with lab. Had lots of fun even with it being an online class. He provides very good resources and helps you get excited about the class. I would take him again! Just do your work and turn it in on time. It makes a BIG difference. He also offers extra credit.

Prof Grabbatin is engaging and passionate. While there's a lot of work, it's rewarding. Study tools like unstuckstudy and the textbook are helpful. An enjoyable class overall.

Prof. Grabbatin is fantastic. I enjoyed taking all of his geo classes from 102-205; by far, 102 is my favorite. He does a great job of providing all the resources you need to succeed in his class.

He's nice and a pretty good professor that establishes a very friendly classroom setting, as you'll have multiple group projects to do. Sometimes the class is boring but it's fine. He's a good professor.
