Cont from below...It?s unfortunate that all you need is a credit card to get into centennial college but he does the best with what he's got. He has real world experience, I had 3 courses with him got two A's and a B and I am the laziest student ever. People that find him mean are the same slow people in class that everyone rolled their eye's at.

Keith Gruben is a great teacher and a good man, he just doesn?t have patience for stupidity and rightfully so. Centennial college is ripe with students who can barely read at a fourth grade level, so I don?t blame the guy for being mean to some.

Comment:

Keith Gruben was the worst instructor of my life. Not only was he unhelpful, but hurtful. He was quite negative and condescending in his attitude. I now am a Neurologist in Albertaand moved on from Marketing Rsearch, which he "taught" if that is the correct phrase .. more like belittled us with his arrogance. Kieth you are the worst ever!!!!!!!

Comment:

Lack of people skills - does not appear to be a happy person. Difficult to please and is not straightforward with his expectations. Despite my interest and extremely hard work in his class, I found him to be a very hard marker and difficult to approach. I am an honours student and his mark was the lowest of all in 6 semesters.

Gruben is a great prof. He convinced me to join OCMC'05, and it was an experience i'll never forget. He has real life experience and knows what he's talking about, so take good notes. Some might say he is mean, and he can sure tear you appart after you finish selling, but everything he does is to help you. IF YOU HAVE HIM, KEEP HIM!!!

He comes off really tough for the first few classes but once you get into the selling scenerios, he gradually relaxes the standard.

he's a good teacher, but is very unclear with expectations for assignments, he is fair to those that attend all his classes, his deadlines for assignments are strict, but the assignments built on eachother, his tests aren't hard as long as you study

Comment:

he knows marketing, and he knows how to teach, but he only has better attitude toward some students that he likes. Not really a hard marker as people said. He is mean, but I have to admit, he is a good marketer, but maybe not a good teacher

He might knows what marketing is, but he never know how to respect students. He doubt foreign students ask others to write essay for them if they submit essays with better English than he is able to write. Shame on you,Gruben

Comment:

brings a lot of field experience to the classroom, which I love (we're in school to get jobs right?). sometimes forgets what he's taught and repeats lectures. There's worse profs out there though....
