Required 2 papers, discussions, 4 exams and the final. He gave the option of writing a third paper that would replace our lowest exam or paper grade. Offered extra credit. There was a lot of reading but that was probably because it was an online class. Some exams were multiple choice and others were essay questions. Overall, great professor.

The first person to ever make me care about history. He has so much passion for history, and his lectures are incredible. Hands down the best professor I've ever had.

I had Mr. Grubb for Texas history online his lectures were not boring at all, but very entertaining. The midterm and final were somewhat easy, and the quizzes were simple because you are able to use your notes. Overall Mr. Grubb is a great teacher who cares deeply for his students, and makes learning fun.

Really engaging and funny lectures. He makes them really not boring with the way he talks about the topics. His historical analysis assignments were quite rough though, having to answer questions, a couple of short response, and a 300 word essay all in an hour time limit was quite strict. Be ready for that but otherwise his tests are not difficult.
