Comment:

He's honestly one of the best professors I've taken at Bradley, and he doesn't even teach in my major. Most of the class hinged on the paper at then end but he will look at it as much as you want before hand and give great feedback. If you are looking to fill a class, take one of his.

Comment:

The entire class was completing the Environmental and Industry Analysis for the 452 Capstone teams. You get to analyze a real company and contribute to a senior group, very cool. Professor is great, takes you step by step. Homework is light and preps you for the project, no tests, no final. Turn in the report at the end of the class and you're done

Great class - thought provoking, and challenges your thinking. He wears paisley ties or these bold sweaters that fit his great personality.

Take buchko for 452! He gets you started on the senior project right away, so you have a full semester to get everything done...and you'll need it! He's VERY helpful in finding time to meet. I couldn't meet during the day, so he invited me to come to his son's hockey practice so he could look over my work. Great professor!

Clearly the BEST professor at Bradley. Very smart and his lectures are very interesting. Use of media (video, ppts, ect) is great. The class is not hard at all and he makes it entertaining. Wish i could take him for all my classes. Open note/book tests.

Lecture was kind of boring, but they class itself was pretty interesting. Having a full semester to work on your senior project is good too. I would recommend you take Buchko for BMA 452.

Comment:

He is a really good guy. If you get to know him he can be very helpful and nice. I selpt through an exam and he let me make it up. In BUS 100 your grade is based upon one 10 pooint quiz a week, and 4 total exams. He keeps the class interesting with funny commercials and magic tricks. There are also guest speakers.The final is not accumilitive.

Comment:

He's an extremely nice guy and always willing to help. I slept thru an exam once and he let me retake it no prob. The tests are hard though. I could never manage anything higher than a B. Lectures are a bit boring but he's really enthusiastic. Watch a lot of videos and guest speakers are boring.

Comment:

He knew what he was talking about but he was so damn repetitve he put me to sleep. Guest speakers are horrifically boring and make you want to cry just thinking about all of the productive things you could be doing if you weren't listening to them. Tests are hard, you have to really know the material, although I am getting an A. He give xtra credit

He's alright, kinda boring, but he does magic tricks and shows funny commercials. But he never responded to my emails. Sort of...inconvenient.

Comment:

Most of the stuff you can learn in the book. But, he does try to make class interesting. He brings a lot of guest speakers into class and some of them are interesting but some you sleep through. GO TO CLASS though because he gives extra credit to those who go on certain days!
