Comment:

This class was a lot of work but it was so rewarding and I actually learned something. He will not give you a grade that you do not earn which does not appeal to everyone. If you are prepared to work then you will find this class very fun and you will walk away having a broader knowledge of history.

Comment:

Dr. Gruver teaches college level courses; it's not wrong for him to expect you to read. He makes you read, but most of all he makes you think for yourself and ask yourself "simple" questions that aren't so simple. His lectures are worth reading for, because whether you're a history major or not, you'll care because of how he relates ideas to YOU.

Comment:

Best teacher I ever had. Takes an interest in his students. Very opinionated, very forceful in his defense of said opinions, but not rude. Knowledge of material is superb. Holds his students to an extremely high standard- if you work, are respectful to him and, most of all, THINK, you will find he is a wonderful professor.

Comment:

He is the most unprofessional tchr I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. I had him this semester and he can be very hateful. Today, he told a girl in front of the rest of us that were taking a final that she FAILED his class. He has picked on several people this semester and likes to put people down. Cant believe I passed his class myself

Comment:

He is a mjor jerk. He knows his stuff but also has a very limited opinion. Very political.....In charge of the exit tests and ha definitely has his favorites. He is unfair. One book review that I did recieved a d.... I read one of his better liked students that did not even get the right thesis and she got a B. Very rude in class and makes rude com

I heard Gruver was a bad teacher, but after taking him so far this semester, I understand that he is just tough. I personally enjoy his class.

Comment:

I agree with the poster that said that Gruver is difficult if you aren't ready to work hard. I took his class my first semester back in college after 10 years, during the summer! It was a hard class and i had to work hard, but I made an A and he was always happy to talk to me or anyone after class.

Comment:

I'm sad to see so many students do not appreciate hard word! Don't you like a challenge? He likes to play devil's advocate, by making you think on all levels not just from one limited opinion. He's not trying to make you feel stupid...he's getting you to open your minds! Don't take it so personal.

he is an opinionated **** yes! But he is so smart and just because he doesn't gve out A's to everybody doesn't mean he won't pass you if you disagree with him. so ignore th freshman who were too lazy to DO THE READING! and take him if you want to learn new stuff

Seems to have a chip on his shoulder--as a history major, I recommend signing up for courses with the profs who have more experience and knowledge.

Comment:

Many of the negative comments being made are from whining freshmen who are frustrated at having to work for something for the first time. He is a very good instructor with a good grasp on the material and is very helpful. You will, however, have to work.

Comment:

HIs tests are very very hard, but he really teaches. He does have a problem with telling you what your opinion will be on subjects and if you differ your grades will suffer since you can not prove otherwise well enough to convince him. I got an "a&qu
