Comment:

He was interesting, and humorous but the course content doesn't fit anywhere in the industry. He is a tough grader. We had 2 Individual papers, 1 group presentation, 1 group paper and a final for the Summer 1 session.

Comment:

I thought the class was easy and interesting. I liked the fact that he let us out early every week and he used the book he actually wrote so you don't feel like your reading outdated & useless info. He curved the midterm and there was no final but a paper and presentation instead (which you did with a partner). Do the work, take him.

Comment:

He is a friendly guy and a fair grader. He makes boring topics interesting. He has much knowledge about the subject and a lot of enthusiasm. I enjoyed his class. By the way, he is not arrogant; I found him to be down to earth and easy to talk to.

Comment:

This was the China trip and it was fantastic. On the one hand, he is not a great lecturer - and his public speaking skills are atrocious(!), is a bit of a worry-wart on the actual trip itself, and is awkward around people, but on the other, he's very knowledgable, having taken this trip several times and generally, a nice guy. Take this trip!!

Comment:

I thought he was arrogant at first, but he turned out to be alright. His lectures are kind of boring, but he tries his best to make the class interesting. 80 MC midterm is not hard, but you do have to read the text chapters and study. Research paper is time consuming, so don't put it off until the last minute.

I learned a lot from his class. Gives a lot of work but at the end of the term, you will realize that they all add value to your career. He is funny, smart, and he made strategic management very interesting.

Comment:

His lectures are organized. It's tough to teach someone strategy or make this interesting. My complaint is that he gives more work to students than he contributes through his teaching, and that final exam barely related to the lectures or text and had multiple correct answers. But we have to take this class and he is the 'fairest of them all.'

Don't know what all the negative ratings are about. He was OK, makes you think a little, honest grader. I think those that gave him bad ratings are just lazy.

Comment:

Reads through slides. Grades pretty tough for someone who can't teach. Really arrogant and couldn't teach at a top school. Anyone who makes the comment "I don't care if you are sick or your grandmother died, if you miss class you will be marked down". Exact reason why Pace is terrible, care more about attendence than actually teaching.

Prof. reads through slides. I can learn this much from the book. Multiple choice final for Management class that is supposed to be discussion class. Silly projects. This class did not bring any value to my MBA learning.

Comment:

Notes very well organized but lectures a little dry. Exam straight forward. Participate and do case studies to get the most out of the class. I learned a lot on how to effectively analyze a business.
