Overall a great professor! Prepares his students adequately without going overboard with homework or projects. Lectures can be dull or on boring material but he always tries to make the best of it and makes class a little more bearable. Really helpful answering any questions either over email or during office hours.

Tests can be very difficult. Make sure you take good notes in class and do all the homeworks to know what's going on. Likes to give pop quizzes so know your material and keep up, don't put off studying.

Busing is the man. I had him for 291 and COB300 and would take him for all of my classes if I could. He is very helpful and will give you great study advice in his office hours. Take him if you have the opportunity. Not to mention he has the class laughing the entire lecture

Busing is the man for 291. Way more helpful and clear than the other professors. This class is probably the hardest cob prerequisite and the sure fire way to do well is to get Busing.

Dr. Busing is the man! Easily one of the coolest profs in the COB. He's very helpful if you go to see him in his office hours. I bought the textbook but the only time I ever opened it was for one case study he took out of the book.

Professor Busing is an excellent professor and prepares you well for all class assignments, quizzes and tests. Once you reach the final though you are screwed,the majority of the material he skimmed through or you had never seen it before. Easy C hard b or A.

Professor Busing, is a nice man and is absolutely hilarious. He is an excellent professor and prepares you well for exams. He gives you a study guide that is basically a blueprint for the exam. Easiest section for 291! Actually makes class enjoyable for an 8am!

You've got to be kidding me, right? He is crystal clear and wants you to do well on the exams and other work. Also, he's quite humorous. If you don't believe me, take someone else. You'll be sorry - trust me (unless you're just a loser).

Comment:

I took this course lightly and ended up having to use a repeat/forgive. I will say if you put effort into Dr. Busing's class you will do fine/great. I think he is one of the best professors for 291. I wish (looking back) that I had devoted myself to this class because it would have been a lot easier. Study hard and be ready for the final.

Busing is a good teacher and teaches you exactly what you need to know. His first two exams are simple, but the final exam is retarded hard. I feel like it was part departmental or something. But regardless Busing is a definite take.
