Comment:

The negativity of many comments is incomprehensible to me. I lament his leaving as he was the most interesting/mentally challenging prof. at Asper. You never looked at the clock in his classes. Always tried to make points meaningful and personal for students with occasionally outrageous examples and stories. Edgy but I remembered them.

Comment:

Very intelligent prof. Very unique teaching style,he does not rely on the text book. All his lectures are coming from his real life experience.One of the best lectures I've attended. Also very knowledgeable in many aspect of business, not just marketing. One of my favorite profs, you can learn a lot from him.

Comment:

Very strange teaching style to get used to, but if you attend class and participate you will get a very good grade. I got an A and spent almost no time studying outside of class. His lectures are crucial to the exam (almost no textbook use) I really learned a lot from this prof and would definitely take a class with him again.

Comment:

Content was interesting enough. Midterm was mostly all class stuff. Skip the rest of the classes since final is all textbook with the occasional class question. Wasted so much class time with random stories. The ones that weren't random were helpful though. Has clear favorites in class. Ignores everyone else. Still the best prof to take this with.

I don't like his teaching style. He could be really rude and it's extremely hard to take notes in his class. The midterm was hard so be prepared.

Comment:

Do not take any of his classes. He has the worst teaching style. Does not stick to the class material, and goes on and on with pointless stories that has nothing to do with the class. Does not know where to draw the line with his "humor".

Comment:

He has a really different style of teaching than most profs and it was not the kind i like at all. His notes were just a disaster and very unorganized but most of the exam questions were from the lecture so you have to go to every class and study your notes a lot. I do not recommend him at all.

Comment:

Lectures are MANDATORY. 85% of what is tested comes from lectures. Lectures are interesting but at time difficult to determine what is important and what is just a silly story. Quite opinionated and can be inappropriate. Personally he isn't my style of professor but I can see how some people would like him.

Comment:

Incomprehensible notes (usually a few random scribbles on the board which DO NOT help you at all with future studying). Pointless tangents, inaccurate information, stupid ideas of his that he likes to work into the class ('ya-but birds' and 'a slog on the bog in the fog'), and unfair marking on the midterm. Everything makes for an awful prof.

Very interesting prof. Tells great examples in class that are very relevant. Fairly easy tests and you get 5% pretty much for free for attending 3 subject pool classes. ;)

Comment:

I love this professer!! I find him hilarious, and his lessons are GREAT. What I learnt from him will definitly be an asset to me in the future when working in an organization. Very relevant lectures to apply to real world settings. If you learn better from memorizing a text book, this is not the prof to selcect.

Comment:

I don't know what the last guys problem was but this professor is quite good. Not only do you get the course info but you get real life experiences as well. This helps with comprehension of the subject. If you are like the last guy to rate this prof (have no common sense and can only memorize a textbook) then don't take this class with this prof.

Comment:

Prof talks a lot about his life. Talks every class about stocks, and goes off topic alot. He is humerous. Hard to learn from. Hard Marker, expects you to be very technical on exams. Gets way to into detail about examples. All over the place in lectures.

Comment:

Tom is a professor who is hard to come by. He captures your attention with his witty humor and interesting stories. He encourages you to use your brain, something not many profs do. Most importantly, he is the only professor I have had so far who has faith in his students; he wants you to succeed. Don't be afraid to talk to him!
