Comment:
He can explain course content sufficiently, but was extremely slow with giving feedback on assignments. By the end of the semester we only had grades from week 4 returned to us. The amount of work assigned for a 3 credit class was also absurd and the textbook readings are completely useless. He also had a condescending attitude at times.

Comment:
Anthony is a good prof who is very entertaining and passionate. However this is a cap stone course with very low incremental value and the amount of work he assigns is obscene. He assigns so many writings that all you do is try to get them done and do not learn anything. If you have a very busy life find a different prof to take this with.

Anthony was able to explain course material really well. He makes class more interesting with his jokes. Super approachable professor, and the coursework was fair.

Overrated. Learn no new material. He spends class reiterating cases that have been covered by someone else. Mark distribution for this class is ridiculous. Little guidance is provided on marking of assignments. Easy class but he makes a useless one to take.

Anthony runs the course like a boot camp with weekly memos - in a good way! The weekly memos really help drill in the concepts by making you take a first stab at understanding it before class and having them clarified in class discussions.

Comment:
Anthony is a such a joke. I came to the course with an immense interest in International Business; finished the course feeling he has destroyed my interest in the industry. Teaching straight out of teaching notes; discussion was not encouraged; expectations were constantly changing. If you HAVE TO take the class with him, then GOOD LUCK!

This is probably one of the easiest profs for 478. Weekly memos, 2 papers, midterm, and a final report will consist of your marks. However this course has a really avg (80%) so it will be very hard to get above B+.

This is an easy course if taken from him BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING IN IT. He puts so much time into trying to be funny that he hardly teaches anything. Take his class for an easy GPA boost but don't expect to learn.

Anthony is hilarious. He definitely made a night class more bearable. I really learned in his class. Very practical. His marking is pretty easy going. He likes to poke fun at people every now and then, which might annoy people, but it is all for good fun. Midterm: Super easy. All MC. Brings treats to share with class! Effective prof for sure!

Comment:
Animated would have to be the best word to describe this teacher. He makes class reasonably interesting. Assignments are well targeted to actual things you may see out in the field. Very considerate of midterm schedules for other courses. Invites students out for beer after class at the pub! Wouldn't think twice about taking his class again.

This course is a must-take for Computing Science students before graduating - it helps broaden your mind!! You'll get more than what you paid for (only if you take this course from Anthony)! Anthony's lecture is animated and interesting. His final exam is predictable and relatively easy to score well if you've done your memorization right!

Comment:
Anthony is great. I highly recommend. A word of caution: don't take the final lightly. Its not easy and requires a great deal of memorization. Final exam questions are like "List these 4 steps to do this" or "What are the 3_____?" He is very nice and I would take another class simply because he taught it.

One of the best classes ever. Brings humor and valuable knowledge to the class. Probably the only 3 hour lecture that i've never fallen asleep in. No Midterms. Group projects an dCase studies are fair and they're easy to score. Lots of memorization though to do well in the final exam.

Mixed emotions about Anthony. He brought interesting material and facts to the class. He linked it to real world examples, and the workload wasn't overwhelming. The candy was an added bonus. Textbook: 160$ waste of money though. Do not buy it (except from me). no midterm = good.
