All you do is play the GEO game that he made because he has too much time on his hands and no one understands it but him. The class has no real content.

Comment:

He is smart and a nice enough man, but has difficulty communicating with the class. He mumbles a lot, and does not thoroughly explain anything. His Groupmaker/GEO program is infuriating to use (he uses it for grades/submissions, research, etc) and he requires it. No midterm, but you take the CBE comp. exam (easy). Avoid if possible.

Comment:

He's very hard to understand not because of his accent but he mumbles a lot. No clear directions. The simulation is probably one of the dumbest things I've had to do in a class and he doesn't teach you how to do it either. I'm taking a hybrid course, half online and half in person and I think I'm going to pass just by reading the textbook.

Comment:

He does not explain anything in a clear matter. He does not explain how to write the papers well, which then in turn I did not receive a good grade on some of them. Does not explain the GEO game well at all. He left the class and myself unprepared for many of the assignment by not giving clear instructions.

I loved this class and the professor. The game is confusing at first but you must watch his videos! As long as you keep up with the lecture videos, you will be fine! His test are difficult, but he wants to test your understanding of the material. The game is 100% extra credit to make up for hard test.

Comment:

Weeks into the class and I, along with most of the class, still have no idea how to play this "game" that you spend half of EVERY class playing. He makes what should be a simple and interesting class very confusing and difficult.

Comment:

This professor is honestly embarrassing. He was by far the worst professor I have ever had, or honestly worst teacher i have ever had in all levels of schooling. No one can understand one word he says, his tests are absurd... the averages were 60% and 59% in my class. He thinks his game GEO is the greatest thing ever, FIRE HIM.

Towson if you're reading this, please fire Professor Thavikulwat. He is ruining your business school and making it look like more and more of a joke every year. Get your priorities straight and start hiring competent teachers. Your University will never see a cent from me when I get rich because you failed to hire proper educators.

Kill yourself before taking this class. Worst professor I've ever had in my life. Towson is a joke for employing such a bad professor and making students pay for it. AVOID unless you teachers who barely speak english and don't care about students.

Comment:

I played the GEO game and got a total of 120 points. that gave me an extra 30% of my grade. I failed the midterm and if I get a 30% on the final, I'll still get a C. That GEO game is everything. You will learn nothing from this class. He is a terrible teacher, but you have to go to class and do ALL THE WORK he gives you or you will NOT PASS!!!!

Comment:

Tough exams, a lot of assignments, lectures are hard to follow and are boring. Definitely be active in GEO! Even if you fail an exam, GEO will save your final great if you work at the GEO simulation. Attendance is crucial ; you will lose 2-3 points per absence. It doesn't sound like a lot, but you will need every easy point you can get to pass.

Comment:

I failed both tests (48% and 60%) and still managed to get a B in the class. They are really HARD! I read the book and looked at the power points and still did bad. I suggests taking all the in class match quizzes and the weekly quizzes (they help). I also suggest turning in every essay in the beginning of each class. GEO helps in the end for EC!

Comment:

I personally do not feel that this professor is concerned with the success of students. He lowered the moral of the students almost every class. He told us that every semester people typically score 50-65% on the final exam. I found his class very unnecessarily difficult and I honestly do not think he should be teaching anymore.

Comment:

Kinda of boring and test are hard if you don't pay attention and study. The quizzes and class exercise are extremely easy. Make sure you learn how to play the game. IT will help your bring your grade up if you do bad on the test. I would recommend him.

Some of his notes are horrendous. The GEO game was a complete waste of time. Take someone else because the class overall is just annoying.

Comment:

Great professor who really wants his students to succeed. People who say he's really tough are lazy and probably didn't study for exams. I skimmed the book and payed attention half the time and got an A. Should have got an A- but he curves final grades.

Comment:

Definitely the most boring class I've taken during my 3.5 years at Towson. Class isn't hard at all but it's extremely tough to pay attention. GEO is an absolute waste of everyone's time. He expects the class to automatically know how to play his game and it actually counts for a grade. Exams are fairly tough but you just need to study hard.

Comment:

The tests are multiple choice; super easy if you just PAY ATTENTION. Daily mini-essays to turn in, so at least skim the book. The GEO game is VERY confusing, but if anyone paid attention, you'll note that it only helps your grade (not hurt it). He knows his work and wants to make it interesting by inviting discussion. If you want to learn, take him
