There is two papers and a business plan due in this class...not very hard when you get into them...tests are very easy if you study the slides...he does give pop quizzes though
He does not keep students well informed of anything, informed only if you ask. He gives minimal help, again usually only if you ask, never gives out information. His class time is wasted, doesn't use it effectively. He changes his mind often. GradeEasyTho
This is the first professor that I would actually consider as my mentor. I would recommend this professor to anyone looking for an enjoyable and memorable learning experience. He is clearly an unique individual.
Awesome Professor. Funny made class worth coming to. Always willing to help. All-around nice guy. I would take him for any class he taught. Test are just like the study guide he gives. Just do the study guide and you can get a good grade. Dont really need the book cuz he has powerpoints online.
Good teacher. Get ready to write. All essay exams but the material is easy to learn.
The man loves group projects, and he also assigns you to your group. I got screwed over by it. Go talk to him if you are having any type of problem. He'll try to help. Just don't expect him to give you anything extra!
Good online instructor. You must be willing to do your work though!!! His sylubus states that if your work is late you get NO credit and he means it. Trust me. I still liked the class because the man sticks to his words. He likes to grade on grammar & puncuation especially on the group paper. BE CAREFUL on that as it is worth 28.5% of your grade!
He really tries to makes class interesting, just be prepared to write a lot.
Great professor! Will work with you, but is strict about due dates for online class. A lot of group work.
GRUBB WAS GREAT!!!! he was very helpful and was willing to work with anyone who he could tell had tried! The test arent so easy...but if you study and know at least a LITTLE bit of information...then he will help you! i would recommend him to ANYONE and EVERYONE!!!
He's one of the best teachers at ECU! Makes the class fun and interesting. :)
Easy class if you just take the time to study. He ,however, plays favorites among his students and is shown by how much he walks around during th test and helps only certain people by telling them if they are right on line with there answers or not. Thats fine if you want to give everyone the same treatment. Others in class felt similar about him
Great professor... I never personally asked for help on tests, but he did offer hints to those who ASKED for it. Never saw any favoritism shown. With a little studying, this class isn't too painful!!! Dr. Grubb makes class exciting, so I'd definitely recommend him!
Definitely shows favoritism towards certain students. Okay professor but wouldn't choose to take him again.
Took this online. A lot of work, and hard tests.
Dr. Grubb is a great professor, he is fair and tough in his grading. There is a lot of essay grading so be sure to know your stuff. I would definitely take another class with him.
Best teacher in the world
Class is enjoyable to attend. Though tests are essay, they are very easy and usually have a wide range of topics that you could include. Fun professor, makes class fun and makes everyone laugh. The group paper at the end sucks though.
The class was great. Comments were received in good time after assignments were done. Does well in making everyone feel important.
great Professor; you are able to miss 6 classes; make's class painless. Tests are essay's but go to his office to ask him questions. All tests come from powerpoints; Don't need the book unless you need clarification. Awesome professor and ask him to wear his awesome hat to class. Makes class so enjoyable! Def. take him for OB
He is an awesome professor. Easy to deal with. As long as u do ur work u can get whatever grade u want. He is a great professor. take him
if you still haven't found what you're looking for, take this class--it will change you
Awesome professor and would do anything to help you. I would recommend to anybody!!!
One of the greatest professors I have ever had. He actually cares about his students and will do anything to help them succeed. If you have any sense of humor, he'll keep you laughing all day... especially when he wears his goofy baseball cap!
Grubb is an awesome teacher, you learn a lot in this class. His teaching style is very laid back and easy to listen to and you never hate going to class.
Grubb is a very good teacher. He teaches basically right from the text and has notes on blackboard. It is not mandatory to come to his class but your missing out if you don't. His exams are written but as long as you know your terms you should easily get a B if not an A. He's a nice guy and easy to talk to if your having problems in the class
His class wasn't too bad...the tests are essay's so you just have to know what you are talking about! The study guides helped a lot! He doesn't take attendance but does give quizzes unannounced! Very entertaining but sometimes the information we are talking about is boring, but he does his best to make it interesting!
Grubb is a decent teacher. He teaches basically right from the power points. His exams are written but as long as you know your terms you should easily get a B if not an A. He's a nice guy but paces around and is very chatty. I believe at the end of class someone hoods him like a falcon until the next class.
Grubb is a great teacher. Go to class because you could get bonus points and get 100's on quizzes. Or you could just dress up in a costume and hope he gives you extra credit for that. Take him he is good and helpfull and you will enjoy his class.
Very fun class, great professor, very clear about expectations for the test. I learned alot in this class. Joke around with him, he's a really cool guy. Awesome advisor too and he actually really cares about the students and his advisees. Take this class instead of the Psyc option for management majors. PS - Scuba rocks
I did not like his subjective grading of papers. He gives a mid-B for making 3 grammar mistakes. My advice: write in simple sentences. Lots of discussion board posting which is good for grades. Tests are essay and proctored. Must read 2 books and write papers on the subject matter.
Grubb is so cool and knows the material so well. He makes it very easy to understand and tells you what's on the exam. Use his office hours, he really helps you if you show up. Halfway through the semester he started to kick me out since I was annoying him. Just kidding, I just wrote that because I know he will read it.
Grubb is a great teacher and is very knowledgeable about what he teaches. Unfortunately, he teaches a dreadfully boring subject, but that's not necessarily his fault. He does the best he can to make this exciting but it is very hard to get pumped for this class. Thank God it is easy.
I have now taken his class in undergraduate and graduate school. I must say it is one of the more enjoyable classes. Tests are all essay though and grading can be tough. But if you actually go like you should and don't sleep through class you will get at least a B in the class. Since you made it to college, you should be able to manage this.
I had this f2f. Exams are essay, 7-9questions. He gives you the questions beforehand. Goes off on topic a lot! I'm pretty sure he has no lesson plan made prior to classtime, just rambles about random things. Says that attendance is mand. but he never takes roll. Strange grading for Book reports. Overall the class is easy, but boring. Grin & bear it
This was one of my more enjoyable classes because Dr. Grubb made it funny. As said before the tests are essay but you already know what will be on it. You should do well on the papers if you are not a moron and know how to spell. Go to class and you will get an A. It is rediculous to think that someone made a B in this class.

This class was very interesting. Dr. Grubb is funny and makes class interesting to go to. His tests are all essays but he give you the questions. You still have to study very hard, but as long as you go to class you will do fine! There are also two group book papers, but no worries they are not bad and the books are interesting to read
Great professor. He really cares about his students.
Most boring class so far. Very subjective class. Just about all students like him except me. I tend to like the professors others hate; maybe because they make it challenging and require you to learn. Group work is ridiculous; hope for members who actually care about their grade. This has been my only B in the program. Horrible professor!
Everyting about Dr. Grubb's class is straightfoward from day 1. Tests are all essay but he gives you the questions to study in advance. 2 book papers-do NOT wait til the last minute to do them. Grading is tough bc he has high expectations of his students. Go to his office hrs with questions and there is no way you will get anything but an A.
Took as DE. Weekly reading and discussion board on each chapter. 2 group book reports and a mid-term and final with essay questions that were provided beforehand. Not too difficult a class, but a decent amount of work. However, the work that was done allowed me to gain a lot of knowledge from the class. Highly recommend
Weekly discussion boards make sure that you are reading the material, 2 group book papers which are graded fairly but be sure that you stay on top of your other group memebers. The 2 exams are essay,he provides possible questions ahead of time so you can prepare your answers. Very helpful professor who cares about you learning the material.
Dr. Grubb was very helpful throughout the semester teaching topics that I can actually use in my career. There are weekly readings and two required discussion boards, which I found to be very useful. Additionally, there are two group book reports. Great material and great teacher, therefore, I had to give this class such a high ranking!
Fair guy. Group work is subjective and he grades you based on how well you do compared to your class mates.
Read and listen to the PPT audio slides Takes extra time but its worth it Gives you idea of test questions. Select a good group for the book reports. That can help your grade a lot He gives centra session before tests and helps you learn the info and gives real life examples. Gets involved in DB
Helpful teacher who I would recommend. 2 essay tests, weekly DB, & 2 book reports. It can be time consuming, but not unmanageable. He gives essay questions b/f test, but you won't know which ones will be on it. Attend CENTRA session to gain some insight on test questions. Book is needed, and hope you get a good group for book report. Got an A.
Great professor-- he is both funny and down-to-earth. Is it just me, or is he the real life version of Ron Swanson?
Awesome professor with a lot of help! Not many grades. 2 group book reports, 2 essay tests (gives you a set of questions the test will come from), and DB posts. Post a few more times than the 2 required and you'll do fine. Good class and really helpful teacher. He is a funny guy! Very by the book he uses for his class doesn't mind you disagreeing
I enjoyed Grubb. He's pretty laid back, and the material was not particularly difficult. 2 essay exams (he provides the questions beforehand and explains what he wants in your answer in the Saba sessions, so attend those), two book reports with a group, and weekly discussion board posts. I'd take another Grubb class in a heartbeat.
Professor Grubb has been on of my favorite professors at ECU. He got thrown into teaching this course out of the blue but he did not show it. He truly cares about his students and wants everyone to improve. If you take what he says to heart and really try to change it will be a beneficial course. Take Grubb if you have the choice!
Dr. G is very helpful and straightforward. The syllabus lays it out for you and the essay tests come from questions he provides. Do the weekly postings and attend reviews, you'll do fine. Responds quickly to emails and will assist you if you request help. I received an 'A' due to his help as well as hard work. Take him for this class!
Put in the work and you'll get a lot from this class. Dr. Grubb sincerely cares about the students that are willing to take the time to learn the material. He is extremely knowledgeable about the material and life in general. Get to know him.
Dr. G is a fair professor. He likes details and requires responses for required discussion boards be conducive to the topic at hand. Exams are fair. Papers are fair too. The books are really good reads too. But most importantly PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS!!
Dr. Grubb is possibly one of the best professors in my academic career. This was a MBA level Organizational Behavior class that was well designed. Dr. Grubb was very insightful, and interacted often with the class. At the end of the course, I have to say that Dr. Grubb made a difference in my life. His advice has helped me with major decisions.
Dr. Grubb's course was relieving! Relieving to know that inspiring and knowledgable professors still exist. Required side reads are more interesting than the text. The course is interesting if you've ever managed a company. You learn your flaws very quickly. Well done Dr. Grubb!
Dr. Grubb was helpful and clear with his course outline and content. Two written essay tests with study guide provided in advance. Online review sessions for each exam help narrow exam questions further. Most applicable class to real world management and leadership scenarios. Also two book reports in class related to management principles.
This class for the most part is easy. There are discussion boards each week that you have to respond and respond to two other posts. Make sure to reference information from the chapter in your posts. The exams are essays in which he provides the essays in advance. There are two papers. He will review over them beforehand but doesnt position it.
Overall, the course was great. Dr. Grubb has a really laid-back style that really resonated with me. I gleaned so much from the lectures, which always included some real-world, practical knowledge that directly applied to the lesson at hand. I would definitely recommend his course to anyone pursuing an online MBA at ECU.
This class is perfect for the online participant. Participation is graded through mandated weekly discussion board posts. Two tests. Both of which are simple to prepare for using resources provided by Prof. Grubb. Textbook is cheap and a must have. There will be group projects.
Papa G is a funny guy to have as a teacher. One of the most hilarious guys i have met . He is a good teacher in teamwork and you will learn a lot, but he is a very poor lecturer. His tests are kind of ambigious because he is very vague on definitions in class. Class is easy, but he makes it difficult. Pray you have a good group-a ton of group work.
This class heavily weights group assignments. Pray you are paired up well. Despite an A average on individual work, my group papers were somewhat subjective in the grading and both received B's. Subsequently dragging my final average down to a 89. No rounding at all in this class! Pound your team mates, and be brutally honest in peer reviews!
Really enjoyed this class. Discussion boards every chapter. 2 tests for which he provides study questions. Group book report. Make sure you participate in the DB and don't be late w assignments. He's a really good professor and I learned a lot from his class. Took during summer & it was doable. Would definitely recommend Dr. Grubb.
If you don't make the 2 required comments on a lecture board, you will get a zero. Extra Credit is built in tests and discussion board. Misleading syllabus. I got a C by 0.1 and he would not round up, even though I had the highest peer evaluation in my group - syllabus says evaluation may help your grade. Not true. Videos of lectures are very dated
Grubb has by far been my favorite professor in my time at ECU both in undergraduate and graduate school. He doesn't lecture straight from the textbook but has many real life stories and examples. He grades tough on tests and papers but is fair. Attendance is mandatory but most students look forward to his class compared to others.
Great class - but you do have to work for it. Participation matters as it is 10% of your grade and your only chance for extra points; however, the discussion board is very interactive & he participates a lot! Group work consists of two papers and the team is randomly selected. Be sure to stay on top of your team. Tests are essays - be prepared!
Disorganized and disrespectful.
Very poorly designed class.
Summer session. Class is a reading a chapter a week and adding discussion board post. One group book summary. Interesting topics. Tests are hard. They are 100% writing questions and he grades writing tough. Provides test questions ahead of time though so be prepared and you'll do fine.
I took MGMT6802 during the summer and it was doable. This is the second class that I've had with Grubb and I really like him. There is a lot of reading (typically 2-3 chapters a week). Grades consist of DB postings for each chapter, 2 tests, and a group paper. Tests were essays 1.5 hours with 4 questions. Listen to the tegrity lectures! They help!
Excellent professor. Learned a lot from the class applicable in everyday management. For exams, professor provided list of questions (10-12) and selected 5 for the exam. Weekly discussion board postings are required. Two group reports and two individual article write-ups.
Good professor. Easy to understand this class.
Organizational Behavior- Interesting class learned the most practical knowledge from any MBA class I have taken so far. Two tests of 5 Essay style questions from a (10-12) question test bank given in advance. 2 article presentations at random, group book report and individual book summary. Grubb is there if you need him!
He's an awesome professor and cares about his students. Not taking Dr. Grubb's class would be a disservice to yourself and your country.
Took over the summer and would not recommend taking this professor. Tough grader for sure when it comes to Discussion Boards and you must go above and beyond to earn full credit. Terrible with email, had to email twice in several instances to receive a response. You can tell he did not put much effort into the course. Lots of DB.
Red cabbage and lemons were used in this course. Grubb is like Ron Swanson with better facial hair. 10/10 would take again.
Dr. Grubb is awesome he welcomes different opinions and is hilarious. Definitely would take his class again. Do your work and you will do well in his class.
Dr. Grubb was a great professor! He has been one of my favorites so far in the MBA program. Just show that you care about your success, take advantage of his office hours. He is willing to read any paper (with a decent amount of time) before you turn it in. Gives 4 absences, which I did not use because I actually liked the class. Take his class!
Take this class online in the summer, its not too much to have on your plate. You have three exams if you read the textbook you will know everything you need to know for the test. Make sure you do the discussion boards they come up fast! Study guide isn't helpful neither is the SABA pretest online conference. He does give you 3 of the test Q's tho.
Completed this course online, but would not take again. All grades are based off of discussion boards, and if you complete them last minute he still gives you a bad grade. If you want A's on the discussion boards be ready to do about 6 of them. Tests are fairly easy, he gives you a study guide which helps.
Good instructor, quizzes each chapter, 2 exams and one paper over the summer. Entered my grade incorrectly, I had to reach out to him. He corrected it quickly. Quizzes and exam follow the text closely. You can learn something in his class.
This instructor has always been unclear about his expectations for tests from the beginning. He wants students to answer essay questions but his questions can be ambiguous at times. You can answer the question but he always says give details and examples even when you do. His feedback is not helpful. Very frustrating.
Dr. Grubb is a great professor and I really enjoyed taking taking this class. His lectures were very helpful and provided a lot of examples to help understand the content being taught. He is funny, cares about what we have to say/suggest, responds to emails very fast, and is very helpful. This is a class I will keep notes from to look back on.
One of my favorites so far. After being disappointed in another Mgmt prof, I wasn't looking forward to this class. Gives great lectures, clear expectations, and is someone I feel I could come back to for support later. Even tested to see if he'd get mad & disagreed w/ him ON discussion board. He didn't. I wish they were all like this.
If you are serious about learning, you want to take Dr. Gubb's class. If you are looking for someone to just give you an easy ride, keep looking. Out of all the classes in the MBA program, this class is probably the one that will most help me become a better leader. Dr. Grubb is laid back and approachable. There is a lot of material covered.
Dr. Grubb has been the best professor I have encountered in the MBA program. Took his course during SS1 and it was very manageable. Quiz and discussion post for each chapter, followed by a test after 4 chapters. Provides test review where he gives you the possible test questions so you can study accordingly. I highly recommend him and this course.
Doable summer course. I took this with 1 other course while working FT. Grubb is interesting, engaging, & quick to respond to questions. Every chapter had a MC quiz and required discussion board. 3 tests covering 4 chapters each. Tests are essay-style with Q's ahead of time. Exams: 60% Quizzes: 20% DBs: 20% with some extra credit built in
I enjoyed Grubb's class. It was not easy by any means, but it was a 5 week summer session so that was expected. Discussion boards, quizzes, and exams. He gives the questions of the exams ahead of time for you to study. Overall, I would definitely take any class he teaches and would retake this one again.
Took online hardest class I ever took. He asks lots of exam ?s that arent on the study guide. He also asks very detailed questions and wants u to basically know everything. I took this class online. The rest of the class was fine, its just the tests were very hard and dropped my grade significantly.
Dr. Grubb is a very nice professor, but his exams are nothing like the study guide and reviews he gives. The questions on the exams are confusing and are pretty much all comprehensive. Grades consist of homework grades and mainly discussion boards. The discussion boards are intensive and are big portion of your grade.
3 test and discussions every week. The test questions are weird and he grades assignments very strictly. I asked for help once and never heard back from him. Make sure you do at least 5 post in the discussion boards or you will not do well. The class is relatively interesting but I believe he made it harder then it needed to be.
DO NOT TAKE HIM if you have a choice! Class composed of 2 essay exams (50% of grade), a book paper, written pop quizzes (including material from months before), random live presentations (students picked daily with a name generator). Exams and assignments have no rubric, grading is up to his discretion. Rudely calls out students in front of class.
You might see a lot of poor reviews for Dr. Grubb but one thing I don't think the students did was give him feedback that was actionable. Dr. Grubb cares deeply about his students and wants to see you succeed. Yes, he can be a pain in the ass but honestly he puts on a good show. I highly recommend taking his class - challenging in the right way!
Here's the rundown: -Pop quizzes. Sometimes he'll give hints, sometimes not. Just review the slides and read and u will be okay. -Exams are short answer, but there is a list of questions he gives and he will review your answers before the test. -Genuinely the most caring professor ever. He will probably give some extra credit at some point. Do it.
Professor Grubb's class is challenging but rewarding. He provides helpful study guides and is genuinely committed to student success. I found using Unstuck AI alongside the textbook and slides to be a great combo for prep. Definitely worth taking, especially if you're serious about learning.
Easily the worst professor I've ever had for an online class. Unclear & Unrealistic expectations. He gives a weekly pop quiz for each chapter but expects us to be able to answer the questions faster than we can read them, I've never done so poorly in any other class at ECU, and I am certain I deliver quality work. AVOID THIS PROFESSOR AT ALL COST!!
Hands down one of the best professors I've had. This was not an easy class, but he gives you every tool you need to be successful. Excellent lectures. Engagement is key in this class. Tests are difficult. Start the group project ASAP. Ask ?s and reach out to him! He's always willing to help students with anything they might need. 10/10!!!
