Midterm and final heavily based off textbook so ensure you purchase it. Loads of cases to read, easiest thing to do is print them all off and bring them with you to class each day. PARTICIPATE! If not he will literally just stand there until someone speaks up. Lectures are interesting, highly recommend.

Jeff is great, his lectures are engaging and animated. Read the assigned cases for the class as he will normally split you into groups to work on the cases assigned. The midterm and final exam are all based on the textbook so read it! Multiple choice midterm and final as well.

Jeff knows his stuff. From OB to HR, I learned a lot in his class. Show up, pay attention, contribute, and you'll do fine. There's a lot of group work so be prepared.

I took Organizational Management with Jeff online. He tends to write "So what?" and other phrases on the assignments. It's not the same as having him for an in class and he tends to tear apart submissions.

Brilliant guy who knows what he's talking about (he wrote the book). Just participate a bit and you'll be on his good side.

Comment:

Dr. Young is an amazing professor. The work load is little to none, however his midterms are very hard. As long as you study the textbook (since he wrote it) you will have no problem pulling off a good grade. GO TO CLASS. He gives 15% for just showing up. He's also very funny, and I loved his class.

Comment:

An okay prof. He's rather loud in class, and can get a bit intimidating. He uses real-life examples, but often seems to go off-topic often, so you don't know what's really important information. He doesn't use the book except for cases, and he's really unhelpful outside class. He isn't particularly polite either. Class is still worth a shot.

Pompous jerk! He struts around like he knows something which is a joke. His limted vocabulary is a good indication of just how limited he is.

Easy to cheat in this class--uses questions from test banks that are floating around. Get points for sitting in a seat. Thought it would be a good course, was greatly disappointed.

Comment:

Took both Busi 2212 and Busi 2213 with Jeff. He really knows what he is talking about, and values class participation. Marks are awarded for inclass assignments, so attendance is not mandatory, but highly recommended. Group cases are kind of difficult, and he is definately a hard marker when it comes to grammar, but he's a great prof.

Recommend this class if you want a high mark. You get 20 points just for showing up--no quality control.
