Comment:
Michael is the best professor I have had in my four years at SFU. Not only is he very good at explaining why the material matters in the real world, he knows every student by name and is very flexible for the labs if you have something that comes up. Heavily recommend and I'm sad I will never have a professor like Michael again.

Great prof, confused as to why he has so many negative reviews. I am taking BUS462 with him this semester (summer2018). He is very good at explaining the bigger picture, but it is expected that you learn how to do things on your own. There are group assignments every week, which you must come prepared for if you want to do well in this course.

He looks good but his class is another story. Just an average class, non-directive after all.

Comment:
Teaches and explains things like they are a piece of cake, then drills down and asks the most complex and confusing questions. An example: an MC question 3 sentences long, 2 of the sentences are complicated and irrelevant to the question being asked. Just meant to confuse you and take up your time (time pressured quizes and assignment).

Comment:
ok first off, I think he looks like Will Ferrell and I love it. Brydon is pretty pro in his field, the problem is he is not very good at getting the point across to students. He's off in his own world and doesn't really half the stuff he teaches isn't really useful for us. However, he is really nice and willing to change deadlines, etc, sometimes.

Comment:
One of the worst profs in my 5 year BBA. Nightmare for my last business course. Power assignment too confusing no one understand anything. Not helpful to explain. class ends at 8:30 but students have to go his office hour after 9:30 when the lab closed. Classes are boring. Difficult to keep attention. Every assignment takes greater than 5 to 20 hrs

Comment:
He seems to be a very disorganized when it comes to teaching material and lecture preparation. The course is difficult, and most of the time you have to figure things out by yourself (a bit of technical knowledge will actually helps). He's somewhat helpful in the lab, but still, this is a challenging course for 3 hours a week.

This class is fairly easy because of all the sample midterms and finals he provides. The class project takes some time, but is easier than it seems at first.

Good prof. You learn a lot, but be prepared to spend a lot of time on assignments. Assignments /labs were pretty vague, but it made you learn a lot. Use the TA and office hours! Overall a good prof and I would recommend, but be prepared to work and find a good group.

Good prof. He is very strict with the curve, so be sharp and try and try and do extra well on individual work. He is helpful. I've taken 2 courses with him now, and would take more.

He actullay has a good sense of humor. Nice prof, very intense course (lots of work) and high expectations. you have to compete against some of the smartest and most technically savvy students of business faculty. Mike is very helpful and class is very interesting.

No Good. Very vague expectations, specially on lab materials. Multiple choice questions for a system analysis course?!! Not impressed.

He is nice and very willing to help. His exams are too easy and don't create enough variance for the curve. I would recommend him. He could be a little more clear when it comes to expectations. He provided tons of past exams though, which is nice.

Teaches well in class but NOT a responsible project supervisor. Does not provide continued guidance, not prepared for meetings, does not provide all feedback on interim drafts and leaves important project issue until the last minute. 'Nuf said...

He is a good lecturer but is not the most helpful. Sometimes class seemed to come second after his outside business interests.
