Comment:

Knowledgeable professor who is pretty engaging during lectures. His lectures only cover how to do the group project, so you have to read the textbook for the exam. However it is his TA that unfortunately dictates most of your mark, and his TA is extremely difficult to please.

Wouldn't avoid, but not the best prof for course. Nice prof & helped to explain how to do each section in the papers, but him & TA have different expectations (which lowered grades, because TA likes it a certain way). Classes were super boring & he rambled about companies but there is 20% participation (which he was generous with). Lots of work.

Welcome to Bus800 with Neil Wolff where the course plan is made up and the grades don't really matter! This is an easy class that is very time consuming and stressful.

Comment:

This class is an absolute waste of time and money. He teaches nothing, everything is a review of what you learned in 526 and the only test is on a bunch of videos about Business Canvases. He basically uses the class as his own little focus group where he can test out his own ideas and steal the good ones that students come up with.

Comment:

- Does not teach, he rambles off topic was not able to cover material and wanted us to come in on reading week or a saturday so he could make up for it. - Not punctual, he came late for 2 classes (1.5 hours late), cancelled one, and left one early (an hour into one class). - Inconsistent with marking, him and his TA have different expectations.

The course itself sucked but Wolff is a great prof. You can tell he wants everyone to succeed. If you work hard, you'll get an A.

Comment:

Class is all group based work and the teaching is split between his TA and him. TA assigns work and is very unclear and unwilling to assist, so much attitude. Old readings that don't apply to the course work, pointless text book, and unclear assignments. Exams were difficult and unfair.

Comment:

WORST EVER! Relies on his TA & never attends class! He changed the course outline every week and made us redo an assignment because HE didn't explain it properly. Midterm is based on 1914-1990 material that is not covered in class! I went in loving ENT now I hate it! You have been warned!

Comment:

I really hated this course. You're just forced to think of numerous business ideas throughout the course. Very hard test, hard to go get good marks on the same assignments, & learn nothing new. Yes, Wolff rarely shows up, but Jym was unless too. This was truly my last choice in terms of classes to take & it lowered my gpa. Avoid this class!

I been in both Neil and Sean classes. Both prof's have their strength and weakness. You can go wrong with either of them. Neil is the reason why Sean is at Ryerson.

Good riddance to professor Wolf and his "know-it-all" sidekick. BRING ON SEAN WISE!!. If you have the privelege of sitting in on a Sean Wise lecture YOU DO IT! Take this class now that Sean Wise has replaced Wolf and get every penny's worth. I have no doubt in my mind that this class will flll up fast...I just wish I put it off 'till this year.

Very easy course. TA does all of the marking. Wolff rarely shows up for class. Its hard to get into a course when the prof doesn't even show up. Hearing difference business ideas was interesting. Wolff is okay. If you're looking for an easy ENT couse this is it.

Comment:

Excellent professor. My only complaint is that he barely shows up to class. When he does show up, he only lectures for 1 hour, instead of 3 hours like he is supposed to. I left the course with some very useful information, but also the feeling that I didn't get my money's worth.
