A very funny guy with lots of amazing stories to share. The course itself is a difficult so you must be prepared to spend a lot of time reading the textbook. Other than that it's not bad.

I loved Prof. Hudyma for ITM! He was always so funny in class and really personable. This is not a hard course, and he's willing to help out if you are finding it difficult, but all you really need to do is show up for the labs. Be prepared to hear some amazing stories about his life working in the field!

Nice Guy but you'll have to self teach yourself the entire class which was really annoying.

Comment:

Never went to more than 3 lectures of his, taught myself through the textbook and powerpoint slides, and got a really good mark. Midterm and final is extremely easy, multiple choice, and really all just terminology. Went to his office hours and gives really good advice. Genuinely nice guy with a weird sense of humour.

Amazing Prof I passed with a 4.0 with him! He uses real life examples. Might seem like he is going off topic but he actually isn't listen carefully to what he is saying you will learn a lot about the course and life lessons.

Comment:

Lectures are not the worst but every test/exam was multiple choice only which i really don't like (ITM102). Nice guy but goes off topic a lot so be prepared to read the textbook before tests/exams. Not all info for tests/exams is on the slides that he presents so you have to look for info you think will be on the tests in the textbook

Comment:

For students who are planning to take ITM 100/102, I would advise avoiding this prof. As for the course, the book is not the greatest source(STILL READ IT) since the exam may consist of answers you either never seen before or most of the MC answers are similar. I would recommend doing practice exams/Online Test/flashcards. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE

Comment:

Course is very bland, and his lectures take a big hit for it. Tells stories in lectures trying to engage students, but often ends up getting sidetracked. You can just study the textbook and powerpoint slides he posts and end up getting an A easily, don't really need to go to his lectures.

Lectures are not mandatory, however you need to keep up with the slides and textbook. Proff is pretty generous and doesn't mark to hard. He does round the final exam marks up, which is kinda helpful.

Comment:

He straight up tells you the course textbook is boring from the beginning. It is. He tries to relate concepts to real life examples but ends up mostly talking about his life. He wants people to pass though so his midterm and exam aren't the hardest. Just lots of reading of a boring course and textbook. Good guy. Just not a good prof.

It has been several years since I graduated, you were hard on us, you pushed us, and often times I found you crass and unsavory. You were also the most effective and inspirational Professor that I ever had and greatly helped to shape my life and career. Your passion for the industry significantly, positively, helped me grow as a professional.

Comment:

He wasn't a good prof, but he wasn't a bad one either it was trouble learning in his class because majority of the class time he talks about his personal experience some are related majority aren't. He's very social, but can get salty at times. Expect to learn from the textbook because he gets off topic a lot. In terms of material it's inbetween

Well he tries. I wouldn't say that he is the worst but he could be better. I had to read a chapter at least 3 times in order to understand his 24 slide "summary" ppt. If your willing to read then go otherwise it's a no

If you want to contemplate dropping out of business technology management please do take this prof! He'll make you want to re evaluate why you even decided to major in btm. Midterm questions were pulled literally out of the sky, save yourself and choose another prof.

Worst ITM100 prof at Ryerson. Never taught anything. Expect to self learn this course. Dont choose this guy. Midterm avg was 48%, had to boost everyone by 10%. Lectures are useless, talks about personal life. Good things: hes friendly and outgoing, would be a great friend but not a great professor. Dont be fooled by avg grade on this profs page.

overall this class is easy to pass but you HAVE to put in the work!! Iclicker questions every lecture! His lectures are always VERY off topic, he will say really weird things about his personal life. The textbook will SAVE you, read it and KNOW your definitions in the textbook if u know the defintions you will do great

Comment:

You have to go to class for the iclicker quizzes. Hudyma himself is really nice though and tries to make class interesting. There's too much information in the textbook though and he doesn't cover it all in class. He's always willing to talk to you though and help.
