He Great Professor always tries to keep his students actively involved his class is easy to follow and personable.
I really enjoy this class. the professor is great and respectful. He is not only teaching me about the knowledge from the textbook, it also teaches us the important things in business or life. I love the video what he shows in the class and the story what he shares with the students.
This class was fairly easy. 10 quizzes and a min. of 10 discussion posts which are easy and cover interesting topics. There are multiple opportunities for extra credit. I took the online class, however, if you'd like you can stop by his lectures. One big project/research paper due at end of semester. Love the flexibility of the online class!
Overall, the class was easy and the workload was minimal. I enjoyed this class and would take this professor again.
Best professor I've had at Wichita State so far! I enjoy the videos he shows in class, the guest speakers he has come in and talk to the class, and his personality is great!
Extra credit opportunitys, taking this online is easy, he gives you all the material to go over and be successful, it is easy to work ahead, and guest lectures are exciting to meet and network with everyone, his class is a MUST TAKE!
Good professor and cares about his students. The lectures are more about life than about the actual content of the class but overall, very caring guy and an enjoyable class.
I took the Entrepreneur Experience online at WSU. It was probably one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. Take him for an easy A!
He is very good techer
Straub definitely cares a lot about the students success in his class. He is a very understanding and easy to work with professor. However, attendance is mandatory in order to pass.
I am currently taking one of his online courses which I have really enjoyed so far. This class is overall pretty easy mainly consisting of discussions and quizzes though there is a project due at the end of this course. The videos he provides are also very interesting! If you have question he responds very quickly with a clear answer.
Professor Straub is an excellent teacher because he has real-world experience in business and he wants to see students succeed in life. He doesn't just teach entrepreneurship, he teaches you how to think for yourself. This is the first entrepreneurship class for my minor and I am glad I had this class with professor Straub.
Probably one of the most pleasurable online classes you could possibly take. Mr. Straub is relatable and cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He uses lots of YouTube videos for his discussions that are always actually really interesting to watch and aren't lengthy to watch either. Would definitely recommend!
Professor Straub is a very knowledgable business man, and teaches it well. He explains things in a way that is easy to learn. I like how he gives real life scenarios through his teaching.
All assignments are straightforward. As long as you do what is required, you should be just fine. Also, he asks for the student's opinions and suggestions and takes them seriously. I have really enjoyed this class!
solid professor, one of the best I've ever had.
He was a really good teacher. I took his class online and it was very easy. He allows for flexibility in the due dates of certain things and offers great insight to the material covered each week. He has online quizzes that you need your book for, but otherwise relies on class discussions for additional material and points.
Larry Straub takes time each week to do a very informative discussion post online. He goes into great detail about the week's discussion and gives us great feedback. What I really enjoy about his class and him as a person is that he puts in effort to help us succeed and it motivates me to be the best student I can be! Would 10/recommend.
Few assignments on the online course but all very simple as long as you do them and participate.
Very good teacher. I recommend to anyone who is thinking to take this class
Pr. Larry is a very inspirational professor. He likes to show us videos that has inspired him. And using his own experience in business, he gives us good advices and ideas.
He's one of those guys that generally cares about what he is doing as a teacher and you feel it. Heck of a teacher and heck of a person.
He's an awesome guy. Class is pretty long. I took the course online but he offers going in for extra credit. Speaking of, there are a lot of extra credit opportunities. The end of the year is the biggest part of the class which is a research paper/project by yourself or with a group. Take him, but be prepared for the exam at the end.
Professor Straub was an excellent teacher. I took his online class and it was very straight forward and easy to keep up with. There is one paper that you work on for most of the semester that counts for a large sum of your grade. There was no tests other than the Final at the end of the semester. 10/10 would recommend!
Unlike most professors who have assignments and tests constantly, Professor Straub would rather we learn from real life experience. He brings in speakers to teach us about the successes and failures of the real world because he wants us to be aware of these factors after we graduate; which is truly helpful in the grand scheme of things.
This is one of the better professors that I have had at WSU.
The class is fairly easy with discussion posts and quizzes mostly. He assigns a business plan summary that you have all semester to do, and you can do a research paper instead if you don't want to do the business plan which is helpful. Discussion posts are based on videos he assigns and they are really helpful. He gives his input and is helpful.
Nice Professor. His assignment is pretty straight forward and it isn't quite difficult. Weekly assignment include an online post/quiz over the chapter. There is a big project that due at the end of the semester but it is quite time consuming.
Dr. Straub is a very nice professor who seems to care a lot about his students. He grades easy on a lot of little assignments, and your grade will be mostly based off one big assignment. If you're looking for an easy entre310 class, this is your best bet. On top of that, you get a really caring professor.
Dr. Straub is knowledgeable and helpful when asked.
Dr. Straub is not only a great professor, he's a great guy. He's real with his students, he respects everyone's views while keeping true to his own, and he just straight knows how to run a business and inspire entrepreneurship. Overall, he's one of my top 5 favorite professors I've ever had.
Professor Straub is passionate about teaching students and is always filled with energy when he teaches. Amazing professor, really recommend you take him.
Dr. Straub is a phenomenal instructor! I wish I could've taken this course with him in person but due to my schedule I had to do it online, but it was great regardless. Discussion posts every week, but they are about interesting topics and videos that make you want to share your opinion. His feedback and his own posts were very insightful.
Do your work and you will get an A! Lots of extra credit opportunities and many discussions, but easy points.
Great class! If you take the online version expect to read the textbook chapters, write weekly discussion posts and a 5-10 page paper. This professor provides a lot of motivational material and challenges students to look for inspiration in daily life. Also, take advantage of extra credit opportunities!
Really enjoying having Dr. Straub as a professor. Gaining a lot of knowledge from him in a class I honestly wasn't looking forward to, but he is making it enjoyable.
This professor is not your typical professor. Rather than being a class where he lectures, he talks about his personal experiences, which makes the class very interesting. You will not want to miss his class, but not because he takes points but because of everything he has to say.
Weekly discussion boards, quizzes, and a test & research paper at the end. The online class is very straight forward and he truly wants you to learn and do meaningful work. The best part is the discussion boards, since they're over actual life topics and not boring textbook topics. He made the class much more interesting!
AMAZING professor!! I would definitely take a class with him again if he taught another cours. NO tests except the final. 10 online quizzes and 1 group project. Credit for going to class. His classes are always entertaining and he loves to be there. This is the only class I don't mind going to. TAKE HIS CLASS. Very inspirational as well. GREAT MAN.
Take the class online itll be super easy
I really enjoyed the class!! I learned a lot about becoming an entrepreneur.
Great Knowledge.
Show up to class and pass!
Really enjoyed taking this class. He gets the class engaged, and I love the videos he shows in class.
He's a sweet guy and enjoys teaching! No tests, only quizzes and a final group project. Take his class! You'll learn some good entrepreneurial tips and it'll help your GPA :)
Mr. Straub is a truly genuine, kind, caring professor. He keeps you engaged and no matter if you are a entrepreneur or not, you will learn something and become truly inspired. I have a night class with him, but I enjoy going to that more than I do my day classes.
Mr. Straub is a different kind of instructor - but in a good way. He brings what he has learned in business and applies it to the classroom setting. I am taking his online class but he encourages to come to one of his campus classes if it fits into our schedules. Definitely take a class with him - you'll learn something.
Took his online class and he seemed like a great teacher. He encourages you to show up to his in person class and even rewards some extra credit for doing so. It is also interesting to take an entrepreneur class from someone who owns their own business.
He's a decent teacher if you can tolerate cheesy characters. Attendance is mandatory, unfortunately. I come away from his classes wishing I didn't go and had self-studied on my own time. It's an easy class to get an A in, just make sure you attend class to get the points and study the textbook while he's telling his stories.
Dr. Straub is one of my classes that I actually enjoyed and looked forward to the assignments. He inspires you to learn. I love that he always posts relevant videos that really drives the topic. He also treats his students like adults, not kids. He gives us so much free reign when it comes to discussions. Definitely take his class!
He is a very easy teacher. If you show up, you pass.
This may be one of the easiest classes I have taken, but Larry presents the material in such a way where you will learn and enjoy yourself in this class more than anythings else. The video's posted on blackboard are all extremely intriguing and conductive to the subject at hand.
Dr. Straub demonstrates a passionate, inspirational way of instructing. As a highly educated professor, he encourages all of his students to be lifetime learners, as they pursue their dreams, be it entrepreneurial endeavors or otherwise. Discussion topics are a thought provoking mixture of current events and entrepreneurial principles.
Dr. Straub is highly educated individual and it shows through his teachings. He is very passionate about what he teaches. He is very helpful with anything, unlike some teachers at WSU.
Awesome professor and keeps you interested!
Great Professor, It was his first year doing the online class, and he exceeded my expectations!
Dr. Straub is one of the best professors that iv'e had at wichita state. I'm taking the course online; it's well structured and you only have to do weekly quizzes and discussion boards. You get to choose to write a research paper or business plan and there is only 1 test. This class is very passable and enjoyable.
Dr. Straub was a good professor. Tries to keep the class engaged by showing videos and starting the class of with discussion. I appreciated Dr. Straub's honesty of where he stands politically and in life in general. Although, he is a little to middle of the road for me. I do appreciate him not making it another class based on liberal agenda.
Professor Straub came off as a great person in addition to a great teacher. He cares about his students and is passionate about the class. You can tell he teaches because he loves it rather than just doing it as a job. He does a great job making the three hour class bearable by bringing in guest speakers, having great powerpoints, and videos.
Great teaching! Very realistic about what we will encounter in the real world. Really challenges the way you think.
Online Class is amazing, shares thoughts weekly
Dr. Straub is a great teacher. He not only makes the class easy to learn but also provides real-world experience through guest speakers and examples from his company. The lessons are not only about business but life in general too. I would definitely retake this class again. Very smart and educated professor.
Show up to class and be willing to contribute to the discussion and you will learn a lot. This class is really easy, class attendance is 1/3 of your grade, lots of opportunities for extra credit. Larry is a good professor who cares about his students. I'd recommend it to anybody!
He is a really awesome professor. He connects the lecture from the class to real life situations, in business as in a personal matter. He likes to be real about what is going on around us. It must be a really great mentor at work. I wish I could have him for another class.
He is a great lecturer and he really knows his stuff. There aren't a lot of options for ways to make points in his class though. Just daily attendance and about a weekly quiz online. But you will never struggle with understanding what he teaches and you will enjoy it
I am an online student but e has a good way of making everyone feel like they are his only student. Very good at what he does and really knows his stuff. Highly recommend
He is a great teacher and I have learned a lot from this class. It is very informational about everyday things that entrepreneurs and business's go through on the daily.
Awesome professor! I took the night class so it can be a drag but all you have to do is show up and pass!
Highly recommend this professor. Took this class based off a recommendation by a friend and was not disappointed. The weekly discussions are fun and he is so understanding about schedules. The class is not hard and he wants to see every one of his students do well.
Defiantly recommend Larry Straub for ENTR310. Discussion boards are due weekly but are over topics which are enjoyable to write about
I had Professor Straub for ENTR310 and would definitely recommend him for anybody else taking this class. He is an excellent teacher and communicator. What I like most about Mr. Straub is that you can really tell he cares about you as a person and your path not only in education but in life and doesn't just feed you the material to pass the class.
Dr. Straub has so much experience to share! The online class is mostly discussion board posts but he gives several topic options so there is one to suit everyone. He offers several extra credit options as well. There is a semester long project but it is actually very interesting! My only regret is not taking this class online!
Dr. Straub has his own special teaching style, he makes the class very interesting. He invited some speakers to share their experiences. He gives extra credits to improve the grade also. He was really nice and patiently.
Dr. Straub's class is very enjoyable. He brings in a lot of real word entrepreneurship experience. Furthermore Dr. Straub tries his best to get local entrepreneurs to come in and speak about their experience.
Gives good advice from personal experience, knows a lot about business. Well spoken, overall great instructor, very chill class.
Overall, Dr. Straub knows how to keep the class engaged. The pairing of the textbook slides and real life examples, such as Straub International, promoted critical thinking. Additionally, the guest speakers taught valuable lessons and provided necessary resources for small business owners.
I really recommended this great teacher for anyone who is looking for a perfect knowledge about Entrepreneurship. Learning from this class itself is really good experience for your work life
Professor Larry Straub is interesting and very helpful with the amount of experience he presents. At this point in the course, I feel like I will end with an A in the class because he gives an apparent amount of easy points to pad your grade, and he offers extra credit. Do the Business Plan project he assigns because you will learn a lot more.
Prof. Straub is an amazing professor. He has a very relaxed teaching style. Definitely show up to class. I highly recommend Prof. Straub if you are going to take Entrepreneurship 310 .
Has great guest speakers that talk about how they started their business and their learning experience. Overall a great class if you plan on opening up your own business.
He makes his students feel a bit awkward on the first day with his inspirational videos. He captures the heart of business and entrepreneurship instead of just the facts. The external speakers were interesting as well. The assignments and tests were too easy that it's hard to learn and pressure ourselves to learn. Need more tips on final project.
He is a good Professor. He makes the class fun and easy with time, you never feel boring in his class.
Dr. Straub has a high level of experience in his subject matter and a large amount of passion for it. He uses real world examples to help you connect to what he's lecturing about. He is extremely thoughtful of his lesson plans. I highly recommend.
Loved this class speaks about actual content you will take into the business world. Teacher keeps class entertaining and mixes videos and powerpoint's to keep you engaged.
You won't find many professors that can engage a traditional age college student for two and a half hours continuously. He has a ton of experience with running his own business, so not only will he teach material out of the book, but he will also teach real-life skills in order to start, run, and prolong a successful business.
Easiest online class I have ever taken. Weekly discussion posts that only need to be 1 page long. Open book quiz here and there. Textbook was only used for the quizzes. Final project is either a business plan or research paper, your choice. Only one test at the end of semester, open book. Offers 30+ extra credit points . Take this class!
Class was pretty straight forward. Each week there is a short discussion post & a quiz over the chapter reading. Only one test which is the final. Also a project due at end of semester. He's a great professor who doesn't overload you w/ homework just because its an online class. Gives good feedback & answers back quickly. Great class!!
Dr. Straub is a real business professional and thoughtful professor. He sticks to the textbook material, and he has the real-world experience to backup his teaching. I highly recommend you take any business course he offers.
Professor Straub keeps you engaged each week with a discussion post and weekly quizzes. You have to read the chapters from the text back to do well on quizzes. There is a big project due at the end of the semester, but it has been an enjoyable one.
Even though this is an online course, Professor Straub comes across as a real person who cares about his students success. There are weekly discussions and quizzes but if you read the book they are straight forward. Definitely recommend this class to others.
I took this as an online course, and so far it has been an enjoyable one. He has discussions every week, along with a quiz or so here and there. homework is due weekly, online. At the end of the semester, there is a project. So really, as long as you do the homework, you should be able to learn enough to past the quizzes.
I'm taking one of Straub's online courses. He has a quizzes (not hard) and meaningful discussions every week. The videos and topics he mentions in his discussion posts are enlightening and intelligent. They make you think. A couple big projects at the end, but offers a bunch of points throughout the semester.
I took this class online and I found it to be very clearly organized. He makes the students know that he cares by asking for their input on what he can do better to make his class more streamlined.
Larry's great- well done at showing you why his classes matter, why the subject matter can help you in real life, and how to use the skills in a real world setting. Grading schemes were fair, quizzes were consistent, and overall he's a fun teacher to go to class to. One of the few classes where I wouldn't mind attending for a full 3 hours.
Professor Staub is always there ready to help students, and making sure that each student knows what is going on for the week. As this class for me has been online, he is still teaching me valuable lessons about the subject and life lessons. Professor Straub is one of the best teachers I have ever had.
Professor Straub is one of the best professors I've had at Wichita State. He is very detailed in his instruction, and is very thoughtful and inspirational. I would definitely recommend taking ENTR 310 online with Prof Straub, you will not regret it.
At the beginning of the course, I was very intimidated mainly because I felt like there weren't many details and Professor Straub set up his "classroom" very differently than others. As time went on, I learned how he works, and that he is very interactive and caring and wants you to succeed. I love that his is flexible and willing to work with you.
Very inspirational and caring, she has these weekly discussions where you just discuss a topic and really just give your 2 cents. Found these easy but also very effective. I encourage people taking this class to watch the videos she recommends watching because they are useful in everyday life. Great professor even though I never met her lol.
Very good course, I loved talking about all the current events throughout the course. The professor did an excellent job finding topics for us to talk about and discuss to help us stay engaged.
He has been my favorite professor so far, which being at close to Junior level means a lot. As a full time employee with a full time school load, he is flexible on his deadlines which is so very helpful. He recognizes that not all students are traditional college students and that we lead busy lives. He offers relevant discussions.
Professor Straub's online course is set up in a way where the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. The requirements each week are easy enough to get done really quickly, but it would truly be a wasted opportunity if you didn't read through all of his discussion posts as he provides some insightful resources to events going on currently
Dr. Straub made this class enjoyable. I would highly recommend taking this class with him. You won't regret it. Really lets you work at your own pace.
Straub is such a kind guy and really tries to relate class material to the outside world. For the first part of class, he likes to go over current events. I took the 3 hour night class and he almost always let out early. Overall, class is an easy A as long as you put the minimal work in. Don't do the project at the last minute! Quizzes are easy.
Great professor! Class attendance is not mandatory to pass however you do get points for attending. Also gives lots of extra credit. Easy A!!
He seems like a very caring and inspiring teacher but the class is formatted so that you are expected to participate rather then test your knowledge.
While this class wasn't very difficult, it amongst some of my favorite classes during my tenure at WSU. Dr. Straub has spent so much time shaping the curriculum around real world application. This is really refreshing, especially as it is an entrepreneurship class! Participation isn't 100% necessary, but you're only hurting yourself if you don't.
If you like to go at your own pace Larry is the perfect teacher. Most of this class points consist of online quizzes, attendance and a project. In class he is engaging and interested in his students getting more than a lecture. He has his own business which enables him to tell real life stories of how business work. I would 100% take again!
For being my first class at Wichita State University, I was delighted to have Professor Straub as my teacher. He talks about current events and gives actual real world advice you can take with you into the business world.
A good overall teacher. Class is one night a week so they're long but I think worth it. Funny at times. Not graded on much so not an incredibly tough class which is ncie with my schedule.
The majority of the lectures consist of Dr. Straub taking different concepts within the textbook and diving more deeply on them based on his experience as a CEO & entrepreneur. Attendance is required but is totally worth attending! Highly recommend Dr. Straub. (Also feel free to talk to him afterward about all things related to business).
good class
The teacher gives students the opportunity to make sure they are understanding each assignment, very helpful when answering questions pertaining to the assignments and he gives clear instructions and dates for each assignments that are due.
He really understands that college students are adults going through life. Soft deadlines for the work because he knows things happen and believes we are all adults who will make our own decisions in life and believes we should all have freedom. Discussion posts do not require replies which is nice. He really is a phenomenal teacher. Really genuine
Nice professor ever! Every week, we did the discussion board, and the topic is very interesting! Taking this class online, but you also can go to the class for extra credit. Overall, I like this class so much!
I like how the paper is our final. Not everyone is an amazing test taker, or get nervous and forget information. I am like that even when I study. I think writing a paper as a final shows what you learned and gives you time to get it correct.
I am currently taking ENTR310 as an online student. While the class hasn't been extremely difficult so far, Professor Straub does require you to use your critical thinking skills. He is the ONLY professor I've had, who has sought feedback in order to improve his ability to teach (you got to love that). Take ENTR 310 with Straub, you wont regret it!
He is a good professor. There is a paper need to do. You can choose research paper or business plan. Overall, he is really good.
I greatly appreciate Dr. Straub's great feedback on discussion posts and i also like that he incorporates recent events into our discussions each week which lets me know he puts a lot of effort into the class rather than just recycling the same material year after year. He's a really great professor with a lot of knowledge in the business world!
Not only a good professor, but someone who you can look up to. Has a great way of thinking and approaching problems. Attendance is mandatory, but definitely worth the time if you listen and comprehend what he is explaining.
Good professor
Professor Straub is one of the best professors I have met in WSU. He really cares about his students and reaches as a person as well. There is one research paper, chapter quizzes, attendance points, and final. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who is seeking to take ENTR310.
A good professor with tons of experience in the business arena himself. Takes a unique approach to inspire students through various videos and talks.
Prof. Straub is a genuinely good guy who means well. He does an adequate job of teaching and bringing relevant experience to the classroom. It can get awkward at times w/ motivational videos and talks considering most people aren't prepared for them in that context, but ultimately he wants the best for his students and will equip you accordingly.
This teacher is great. He makes this course easy and enjoyable for his students.
Nice professor.
Took the online class and it was really educational. As a class for gen ed credit I didn't expect to get much out of it, but it ended up being really informational, even for someone who isn't a college of business student. The discussions are also way more open ended than other online courses.
Great and interesting class. I really enjoy the discussion questions every week, and the different topics we have to write about. I'm also glad that we have to create a business plan this semester, I really think it'll help us see what it takes to start a business.
He is a great lecturer with a lot of great experiences and advice for anyone that's starting a business or in the business field.
Dr. Straub is a professor who cares about teaching important topics outside the textbook which I find enlightening. The class consists of engaging discussion topics, quizzes, a business plan or research paper, and a final exam. I recommend taking this class if you enjoy engaging topics and a professor that cares about your future!
Dr. Straub gives intriguing discussion posts topics, and he gives great feedback on the discussion post.
Great teacher, but you have to show up for class. The book is needed for the quizzes and final at end of semester. Gives extra credit options. Has really good participation activities.
Everything is very clear cut and infant of you. Final is tough however.
Not too much busy work. Just enough work to learn, but not be over stressed.
Prof. Straub is a good choice for self-disciplined students. If you aren't, it can be easy to fall behind since there's no set due date for quizzes. He gives a study guide at the beginning, but you must make your own study schedule as you go along in order to pass timed final. Attendance participation points contribute significantly to your grade.
This was my first online class and I can't say it could have been any better. The structure of the class was well organized and it truly felt like the professor cared. 10/10, easy, inspirational, very educational.
Dr. Straub is a lecture heavy teacher, you should have some discipline when taking his classes, because there are no due dates until the end of the semester. Overall good teacher though.
Dr. Straubs online class is set up where the work is really spaced out you never feel overwhelmed by it. Most of the work is quizzes and discussion boards, plus a final and a project due at the end. The discussion board questions are interesting, and he puts a lot of thought into the posts. Theres also extra credit, which is awesome.
Have discipline when taking this class, there really is not any due dates until the end of the semester. Also, his lectures are awesome, inspirational, include real life situations and very informative. He involves the class with activities. Love the videos he shows as well!
This was a solid class. Consisted of discussion boards, a lengthy paper, and a final. Not too heavy of a course load, but quality content.
Gives you the option of attending classes in person for extra credit which I did and discovered that he was a pretty interesting teacher. He really cares about his students and wants to see you do well in life.
Cares about the student success in class and in life in general. He is willing to help whoever with whatever. The lecture I took with him was 3 hours long and it was at night but he still made it short and enjoyable.
it was a good class and fun
I think you will learn a lot in this class and he does a lot of videos
It was a refreshing class in which we were able to be outspoken.
He is probably the best business professor at WSU. He starts the class out with real world news then we dive into the chapters. Additionally, he brings in guest speakers to talk about their real world experiences in the business corporations. LOTS TO LEARN and an overall well organized class.
Great class to take especially when combining with a busy schedule.
Professor Straub's Entrepreneurial Experience course covers introductory concepts of business. The format of the class consists of standard and lecture and discussions. The class also includes sections on current events and how they may effect business, as-well-as several supplementary videos that are often thought provoking.
I took his ENTR 310 online and actually really enjoyed his version of discussions, very open and not class specific. Kept things light that way!
Great class
Well spoken, easy to understand, class is a joy.
Great class, very knowledgeable professor. He's very educated traditionally as well as having a lifetime of entrepreneurial background. Great class!
I really enjoyed taking this class. The professor is very nice and his lectures were always insightful.
Great professor, have good and solid information in lectures.
I really enjoyed this class with Dr. Straub! I had the 8 week online class so I could work at my own pace. We had weekly reading assignments/quizzes and discussion posts, but nothing was too difficult. The biggest thing was typing a business plan which I actually enjoyed. I highly recommend taking it with Dr. Straub online or in class.
I took this class online and it was super easy. He is a really great professor.
I really enjoyed this class, I would absolutely most definitely take another class with this professor again!
Interesting classes as the professor is very knowledgeable in the subject.
Great conversation and dialogue. Very open minded about the topics that you discuss.
Very knowledgeable about business and willing to share his experience with you. Comments on student discussion posts and is actively involved even in an online class. Learned so much about business!
Professor Straub provides very insightful thoughts on the business world throughout the discussion posts, very useful knowledge. If you put in effort, you do learn a lot about the business world. The workload was adequate, and never found it difficult to complete on time. Plus, 50 extra credit points are offered!!! (The final is 75 pts)
Professor Larry Straub is a very engaging instructor who motivates and teaches using a wide variety of techniques. His passion and commitment for education is helping me excel as a person and a student. He's extremely knowledgeable and makes learning fun!
This is honestly my first college class that I have really enjoyed AND learned a lot. This is not a difficult course. He has really interesting videos to watch and they keep your attention so you honestly look forward to watching them every week. He was really considerate of us as students and good and timely feedback. 100% recommend taking him.
This is how a college class should be. It is heavily discussion oriented.
This class involves a lot of writing. There is a discussion post each week that is required to be 2 pages double-spaced, there is also a required business plan/research project (6-10 pages). There are quizzes for many of the chapters, the questions are straight from the book.
This class was quite the breeze. There were chapter quizzes and discussions every week. Discussion participation did matter especially since it was an online class. Professor Straub gave back feedback on discussions which I liked. The class load was not heavy and very manageable. If you are worried about taking it online, I 10/10 would recommend.
Great professor! He gives feedback, keeps class interesting and has always emailed me back when I've reached out. Would definitely take another class with him.
Best professor I have had. He helps out and response to every single student when he has the ability too. I would recommend it to anyone. On a 10 points scale, this is a 10/10.
Honestly, this course seemed pretty easy overall if you read the textbooks all the questions on the quiz are really easy and fast to answer! If you take it online just be sure to work through the quizzes as suggested so you won't have to try and catch up on the last week. The professor seemed to be willing to help whenever you needed it.
Was a little reluctant on how the class was structured thought it might be a bit challenging, but overall It worked very well. Prof Straub put a lot of thought an time into his lectures many times relating them to current events.
The online, 8-week class of ENTR 310 has two types of homework quizzes and discussion board posts. Discussion board posts are weekly but the due dates are lenient, meaning each is due Friday but i had no trouble turning them in on Sunday. A lot of extra credit opportunities too.
Over all great class. Very few points in the class, but not hard at all to get an A.
I took this class online, I was impressed with how much practical information he provided through videos, along with the regular class material.
Prof. Straub is a great teacher and will provide a lot of philosophical insights to go towards your business mindset. He'll help you keep it real with some truth about how the world really is. This was an 8 week online course so every week, we had one discussion (he recommends 500 words) and one or two quizzes. A brief project in the end.
very inspiring lectures that will motivate you towards your goals. You will not regret attending class as he provides very insightful knowledge about the content and how it applies to the real world 10/10.
The class was easy. As long as you finial the works, and you will get your points.
SUCH A GOOD PROFESSOR. I took an 8 week online course, but he allows you to attend his campus class if you can. Everything is done through discussion board & it can be slightly hard to follow though. If he used something besides discussion board, Id give him 5 stars.
Professor Straub is a great teacher. I highly recommend taking a class from him!
Easy online course! You can get a 100% on quizzes just by the book. As far as I know as long as you reach the length requirement, you'll do fine on discussion boards. The research paper is the better option for the final IMO. He really cares about his students and gives great resources! You get out what out put in
Very good feedback and an excellent professor. Watch the videos and try to finish the quizzes when he posts them.
Great Professor!! Just complete all your assignment and you'll be fine.
Mr. Straub is trying to inspire his students to be better more informed people.
Amazing instructor and I really enjoyed the class. Wish I could have taken the class in person instead of online but all in all. Highly Recommended
Great class and professor! I hope to take more of his classes in the future. He creates interesting topics to discuss and open for conversation beyond the textbook. I view him as a respectable mentor. Highly recommend!!
One of the best instructors at WSU! Very impressive class, can't complain it at all.
Professor Straub conveys the information in many real world scenarios, which I found very helpful. If you show up to class and complete all the course work you should pass easily.
He was very interesting to listen to and has a lot of knowledge about business. A very good class to take to expand your brain.
Took the course thinking it would be a little different but decided to stay because of professor Straub! Great guy
Probably one of the best, relaxing and fun classes I have ever had. Attendance has alot of marks so do show up. class is never lecture heavy and not difficult. Really inspirational and never makes the class boring.
Straub is a good professor and has real life experience so he has a different perspective than other business professors. There does not seem to much homework required but there was paper due at the end of the semester. Nothing terrible and you could choose from research or a business plan.
Great guy, do the online quizzes and show up to class and you should do just fine.
Very good teacher and very good lectures.
Great professor makes you feel right at home
The material covered was very easy to grasp, however, Dr. Straub had years of experience he was able to integrate the coursework with his life experience. He goes above and beyond to make this course have a true impact on your life as you enter the work force. Great teacher!
Professor Straub will have you leaving class with inspiration and a real world outlook on life. He shares personal business content which is great so that his lessons tie into his real world knowledge.
Amazing teacher! As long as you attend class and complete every assignment you'll do just fine.
Very passionate about what he teaches and can make things easy to understand. Very inspirational and overall great course!
This class is easy for most student, professor is friendly and helpful. Suggest you take his class!!!!
This class is easy for most student, professor is friendly and helpful. Suggest you take his class!!!!Quiz is easy, although project is long, but you have many time to do it, even half semester.
The course is very good and fun. the professor is very nice and has nice grading system.
He was very passionate about what he was teaching. You could tell that he truly wanted to help make his students be more aware of what was happening in the world around them and prepare them for things to come.
I would recommend everyone take this course.
Great personality with a lot of heart. Cares about his students and is willing to go above and beyond to make sure each of his students receive the help they need. Also, Dr. Straub is very inspirational and wants nothing but the best for his students.
By far my favorite professor. He gives you the necessary tools needed to succeed as long as you utilize them. Shows a genuine respect for all students and encourages personal as well as academic growth. The only professor I've had that gives it to you straight and lets you make your own conclusions. Highly Recommend. Was lucky to take his class!
This my second year of college and l have to say he is the best proffessor so far. He cares a lot about his student and his lectures are the best. He makes you feel comfortable and his experience when it comes to business helps understand how business works in real life. Do your assignments ,attend class and you will be fine.
He was a good teacher, though the content covered in the course was not very interesting he found ways to liven up the class. It was rough taking it at night from 7-10pm, but he never kept us past 9:30 so it wasn't too bad.
He was a great teacher, only missed one class the entire semester. Always had a story and enjoyed his students. Enjoyed the heck out of him
I would take him again for other classes. I enjoyed his method of teaching. He engaged in conversations instead of just diving right in to lectures. He gave us real life advice and had speakers come in that helped oversee real life situations.
Great professor and a wonderful person in general.
Great professor, doesn't take off points for late assignments
This is one of the easiest classes I have taken at Wichita State. I took this online, and Professor Straub highly cares about his students. He gives lots of real world applications, and always is ready to help students. Like I said, class is super easy, just online quizzes and discussion board posts. There is an end of the semester project as well.
Was clear about due dates and what is expected in each assignment.
By far my favorite professor I have had in college. He gives plenty of time to complete assignments and extra credit opportunities. You really feel like he cares about his students and their ability to comprehend the information. Great professor and a great class!
Great online class. Discussion post are weekly, along with some quizzes. Very honest professor and relevant information. Discussion post topics are relatable to material and current events.
THIS CLASS IS VERY DIRECT AND ON POINT
Lots of extra credit opportunity, online structure is really clear just follow along and its an easy A
I really enjoyed this class.
I didn't have any issues with this class. Hopefully I will have this instructor again in the future.
Great professor! Makes topics interesting!
This is an amazing class. The weekly assignments are a two page write up of some topic of discussion, and there is usually options of what to write about. He offers plenty of opportunities for extra credit as well. The class is manageable, and you also learn a lot in it.
I took his ENTR310 class and honestly thought I would hate it. However, he kept the class interesting and it kept my attention all semster! I loved the fact it was a do it at your own pace and that there was plenty of extra credit just incase you do not do so well on the project or final. He was very helpful anytime I emailed and quick to repond.
Very good class, there is a discussion board every week but it gets you thinking about how this class relates to the real world.
This professor is very nice and understanding. I love his weekly discussion assignments. I thought the discussion assignments were thought provoking and participative.
I loved this class!
I took ENTR310 online from this professor. His class was very easygoing and pretty simple. I didn't struggle to get a good grade and I didn't have hours of homework every week. My only complaint is that the schedule for the assignment due dates/the layout of the class on blackboard is pretty confusing at first. It's not bad once you get used to it.
Prof. Straub goes beyond the course material and powerpoints to provide interesting discussions and career direction. If you are an online student he invites you to a couple of specific in class dates for special speakers and gives you a few points of extra credit for attending.
He is a very kind person and he is patient. He cares a lot about his student. He gives a lot of extra credit in order to pass the class.
I really enjoyed the setup and how you could go at your own pace
This is definitely one of my favorite courses and professor so far. He is very caring and understanding. He gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. You do need the book, but this course is not test heavy. He also is lenient with due dates. I really respect him as a professor. Wish I could take more courses with him.
Took online. Set up on blackboard is a little strange, but okay once you get used to it. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Discussion boards are better/more interesting than typical discussion board requirements. Recommend taking!
The class has 10 quizzes that have the answers word for word in the textbook. There is also a weekly discussion post that is about a page long. At the end of the semester you will have a big project to turn in, but it is not difficult. The class should be an easy A if you do the work.
Engaging discussions, relevant discussion topics. Quizzes aren't too hard, gives feedback and plenty of opportunities for extra credit.
Mr. Straub is truly a wonderful professor! His lectures are always entertaining & I honestly enjoy going to class. He teaches you about entrepreneurship & business, but also teaches you about morals and yourself at the same time. He's fun to listen to and is very engaging. Attendance + quizzes are most of the work. Not your typical professor! 10/10
He was my online instructor for ENTR 310 and was very flexible. The class had minimal work and even with that, no deadlines were enforced heavily as long as you met the standard. He was great and he taught me more than most professors would. That speaks volumes since he was an online instructor.
Overall a good teacher. Gives a lot of extra credit and emails back fairly quickly.
It was perfect to pair with a more academically challenging semester where a lot of upper level classes are taken. There is a weekly discussion board that requires a 2 page write up over TOPICS HE GIVES YOU! So you don't even have to really try to think of something. All Quizzes were opening at the start of the year and are easy knock outs and As.
This class was fun and informative, and Professor Straub made it entertaining and engaging. I would recommend taking a class with him.
I would highly recommend taking Ent. Experience from him online. It wasn't homework heavy and didn't cause extra stress during the semester. Always responded to emails whenever you have a question.
the course was not that difficult it was easy. you have show up for attendance grade the quizzes are easy no assignments one project which was easy final online exam offers plenty of extra credit you will enjoy his class
This class is perfect for those who like to know whats going on ahead of time, everything is planned and specified making it nearly impossible to fail. Do your work and you will pass, it isn't hard and the scheduling makes it a low-stress class. If you have to take this class take it with Professor Straub, good luck!
This professor was very forgiving and allows make-up work and extra credit. He isn't too tough a grader, and seems like an overall nice man.
Such a nice guy! Hes extremely understand and very easy to work with. Enjoyed his class verb much.
he is a good instructor. his class was enjoyable. I learned a great deal from him. he cares about the students so that they understand the lecture and make sure that all the students are on the same page as well as keeping up with the news.
Dr. Straub's ENTR class consist mainly of lectures and group activities. He is very good at relating the course information to what is currently happening in our society. He also provides a lot of "behind the scenes" looks at an entrepreneur's life with stories from the time he was in business. Do well on the quizzes and essay and you will pass.
Larry comes across well as a person not just a professor. He's always willing to work with you and he's very helpful!
Great Professor! I loved the life experiences he shared. It made the material easier to comprehend.
I loved having Dr. Straub as an instructor. He is pretty easy and will work with you if you need help.
Online class is incredibly easy.
Professor Straub is an experienced man that knows what he is talking about. Don't come thinking this is a traditional classroom because he provides so much good information that can be applied in the real world. As long as you do the quizzes and business plan you are set to get an A in the class.
Attend Class or FAIL
Lots of chances for extra credit(around 60 points total). Quizes are open-book/notes and online as well as the final. Super understanding and nice. 10/10 a really great guy!
Professor Straub was an easy going teacher. Hes pretty lenient on assignments and gives a good amount of extra credit, definitely would recommend.
Entrepreneurship isn't my favorite topic in general, but Larry Straub found ways to involve students and convey important topics in a meaningful manner. I learned a lot in this class. I recommend showing up for each class as he takes attendance into the grade, and much of the course material is presented verbally in addition to presentations.
Professor Straub is a wonderful teacher. He cares about the students and you can tell by how laid back and understanding he is. I am glad I took this class with him online and I would be ecstatic if I got to have him for another class.
I took him online and he was great. He was flexible and very caring
There was a lot of talk of current events
I took the course online. There are weekly assignments and short quizzes. Final project is to write a business plan. It wasnt as tough as I thought it would be! Professor is easy to work with and flexible. Great person!
Great teacher, hilarious and makes for good discussion.
Professor Straub is a great teacher. He is fair an relevant, and encourages you to see what is going on and think entrepreneurially, looking for opportunity and being realistic.
While Larry is a nice guy, and I don't usually complain about an easy A, this class was easily the most useless class out of my whole bachelors degree. Unfortunately it's a required foundational course for all WSU business majors, but hopefully not for much longer. I quickly found out there was zero incentive to show up to his lectures.
Enjoyed this class quite a bit. As others have said this was an extremely easy class. Professor Straub grades very generously, and all due dates are flexible. With this class, you can really decide how much work you want to put in, because you will get an A whether you try hard or not.
Teaches material, but also works concepts and topics into current world topics.
Super easy class. If he didn't give points for attendance you could ace this class with little to no effort and never come to class. Quizzes are nearly right from his powerpoint and the final project can be worked in a group. Nice guy, talks a lot of current events in class and relates his experience in running a business for 30+ years.
I loved this class so much and I enjoyed Mr. Straub's teaching style. He does a combination of lectures and YouTube videos. I would definitely recommend his class to anyone who needs to take this course.
Professor Straub's online course for ENTR310 was a terrific course that I would take again. The material was somewhat repetitive of previous business requirements, but it wrapped up concepts from all areas nicely. I enjoyed it, as the material was not extremely difficult, but useful. Professor Straub creates a fun atmosphere for the course.
Excellent professor. Gives great feedback and useful material to complete assignments.
Just show up to class and you will pass. He is not stingy on deadlines for the quizes. And offers plenty of extra credit. He doesn't focus on the book too much and flies through the powerpoints. Has a good personality and is relatable.
This course was very interesting and fun. The best part about it was not necessarily the main content, but the real world content that Dr. Straub provided. He wasnt there to push his own agenda on students, but he truly cares about the success of students and wants to add value for true impact. Although, he does have substantial business acumen.
The professor was nice and lenient with every assignment. However, I disliked how people abused it by submitting their work late on the discussion boards. His class tied into many of my other businesses classes, and even in the relaxed environment, I gained much knowledge. Despite all that, I disliked how he offered extra credit for ratings.
This professor is one for the books. I learned more in his class than I have in any of my others (Im a junior). Not just about business but life. Go to all the lectures. It's late at night but it only meets once a week and pay attention because he has numerous amounts of business experience that you need to hear to stay afloat in this day in age.
he is really nice and he will be available any moment to talk to him
Dr. Larry Straub was an amazing professor for this entrepreneurship class. Being a seasoned entrepreneur, Dr. Straub teaches from experience. Truly a great professor.
he is best
Professor Straub is the best. He's very helpful. If you need this take this class, pick him.
Professor Straub really understands that your schedule may be difficult. He allows you to turn in assignments late for no penalty. He really cares about your success in the course and offers extra credit to help cushion your grade.
I enjoy the fact that he keeps us in the loop with what is going on in our lives. There are a lot of important events that we as a community should know about. He assigns just enough to let us learn but not a lot to make us overwhelmed and bored. I appreciate all he does.
2-3 page essay each week but topics are very interesting. Many opportunities for extra credit. Excellent teacher, inspiring class
This class was very interesting and geared towards getting you to think outside the box. The instructor is very generous in sharing his knowledge and experiences as a way of helping you to relate to the information from the textbook. You are given plenty of opportunities to join in the discussions and share your opinions
He is a great professor. He takes attendance, so it's very helpful to show up and even though the class is at night, it is interesting to listen to him. Quizzes and the final exam are online but there is a 5-10 page project. Overall, not a difficult class.
This was an online course, he was extremely engaging. His online class consists of weekly discussion boards, quizzes, and one big project at the end of the semester. Clear grading criteria and fairly easy. Just show you're engaging online and it's an easy A. Gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit throughout the semester also, easy points.
Overall great professor. I was in the online course, but he offered extra credit to attend in-class lecture which I think is a great idea!
Mr. Straub is such a unique and understanding instructor. I have no intention of owning my own business, but he gives great advice and real world experience to his lectures. Never a dull moment in his class.
The class is very insightful on all aspects that deal with life and business. The Professor is really caring and respectful to the entire class.
The class was easy every class I attend I get 10-20 points until the corona case. We then became an online class.
His online class is very discussion heavy. He gives you a few prompts and you write a couple pages over them. There are quizzes but no real due date for them. Pretty easy class. Just writer your couple pages a week and pass.
The professor was extremely nice and willing to work with you when you need help.
The professor works really hard to provide the best advice and detail about the topic that is being discussed.
Straub offers great personal experience advice. It is nice to learn from someone who not only has the ability to teach but offers relatable thought-provoking subjects to discuss.
Easy A, but also a great professor. Keep up with your work and you will be fine.
Anonymous
The syllabus is very simple and clear on his expectations and grading standards. I personally enjoy our weekly discussion topics and videos that can be very relatable and eye-opening on certain subjects. The whole main portion of your grade is very dependent on weekly discussions and participation. I took the course online, definitely recommend!
A great professor, interesting lectures and frequent guest speakers. Laid back homework style that allows you to take quizzes on your schedule which was very convenient.
Best professor ever!!
Great professor!
He is an awesome teacher for this class. He always invited business people to come to our class and have some talks which are very valuable for students like us. however, due to COVID 19, our campus class was canceled. therefore, we didn't learn much from him
I slacked on his class for most of the semester and he gave me the opportunity to catch up completely. I am grateful and respect him for allowing me to do that. He is extremely flexible and forgiving. I highly recommend him.
I know everyone went through a hard time during this semester because of the pandemic. As a parent and a student who lost a job in January from spirit it was a very trying stretch. Dr. Straub is a great human being and teacher. You have been my hope in midst of all the chaos. Thank you for being so caring. You gave me a chance I did not deserve.
good professor and easy to understand him
Awesome Teacher; would recommend
Is a lot more personable than most online teachers. Grades were uploaded consistently. Also he was a very understanding teacher during the COVID pandemic.
