Comment:

He is a good teacher. His classes seem a bit boring because he doesn't interact with students and the only time you participate in class is during news breaks. The cases are marked on an unknown scale and by an unknown marker. His exams are pure memorization and his final is killer, with one long case reflecting everything you learned all semester.

Lots of real life example during the class. Mostly multtple choice on mid-term. 9 cases and a term paper on team basis and the team was assigned by him. You have to write a case during the exam.

Comment:

Took his Entrepreneurship class. Nothing wrong with him from what I see, just that his lectures might be a bit boring. (Unless you are passion about the subject) He is knowledgeable about business, well organized and has clear English accent. Overall, good instructor. He isn't that hard, just use some good study habits and you'll be fine.

Comment:

This guy. Oh man. 3 hour lectures with him. Awful. boring, does not teach application. group project killed my grade despite doing well in tests. He randomly decides the groups...got in 2 really bad groups and there goes the grade. Was chastised for not 'policing' my group. Not my job, as a student, to police peers.

Comment:

His group projects are GPA killers; unless you get a good group, you'll end up doing all the work that 3-4 people should be doing. 9 cases + 1 final case, each one worth 2.5% of your final grade.

i took a couple classes with him. He's nice and an easy marker (he doesn't mark, his marker does) he talks a lot and usually has bad breath. He likes people who participate. likes group work with randomly assigned groups - be warned.

Comment:

If your looking for a business class to sleep through this is the one. Craig frequently gets off topic, doesn't mark his own assignments or tests, uses the slides provided with the textbook, and not once in the semester has had control over his class. Don't waste your time sitting in one of his classes. This teacher should be canned.

Comment:

This dude likes to hear himself talk. Be prepared to sit down and listen to him talk, talk and talk. Some relevant but alot of it is irelevant. Then he makes students do some talking when he needs a break. Dont take a class with him if you need to communicate with a prof he doesnt help much. Take this prof if you are better learning by yourself.

he is really boring but the class is really easy. Just study from the text and memorize all the key terms! Case studies are annoying if the people in your group doesn't do their part. Overall, it's not bad class.

Comment:

Nice and easy going teacher. His classes are extremely boring, all his notes r on webct, so basically u dont even have to attend his lecture classes. Cases every week, and the groups r chosen by him randomly. He has an assistant marker who markes the cases. Each member has to read a news article everyday.

i stopped going to class after the first month (after first midterm). i ended up getting 88 (2nd highest) on the second midterm without going to a single lecture for that midterm. his lectures are insanely boring and is straight from the text, so lectures are pointless. harsh GPA booster for anyone that can read and enjoys a bit of business

Comment:

Sure he's educated n very experienced in the business world. He even operate his own business. BUT should retire as a teacher, because he cant teach, another teacher who lectures by reading from the book or power point. STOP IT!!! worst teaching tactic ever n it's boring. For an experienced businessman, shouldn't you know things on top of ur head?

Comment:

Meh....what can I say, I hate marketing so of couse I hated the class, he didn't make it more interesting for me..so I am a bit biased here. I thought his class was soooooo boring! So glad its over. I'd say take someone else if you can, or at least not a 2 hour class with him! BTW, for case studies use the Marketing mix-4 P's as part of answer!!!!
