If you have a photograpic memory, you will do fine. He likes things to be VERY specific on the WRITTEN tests. Also take good notes, it will be the difference of passing and failing.

Comment:

I am a math major who took the class in my last semester because I thought it would be interesting, easy, that was a mistake. The class was harder then most of my 300 and 400 level math classes. Just do the class project well, the written and the oral part, and volunteer a lot and you should get out with a C, because the tests are impossible.

Comment:

Gnauck is the most challenging professor I've had but also one of the best. MGT 240 weeds out the faint of heart and requires a lot of studying. You get out what you put into it. Hard as hell, but you'll learn a lot and he's really helpful.

Dr. Gnauck is difficult but if you put the time in you will be fine. Go to his office hours if you need help, he is very helpful if you ask him. Dr. Gnauck is the best professor I have had in the college if business. The class is difficult, just put the time in and you'll be fine!

Comment:

Dr. Gnuack is the best College of Business professor I have ever had. His class requires a lot of work and he has high expectations, but he is willing to help during officer hours. If you put the time and effort in, you will do fine and learn a ton. Don't believe the horror stories about this man! Gnauck sets you up for success in the real world

Alright, Dr. Gnauck's courses are by no means easy, but what he does is provide people with the skills to think critically. This is the only class I use on a day to day basis as an entrepreneur. Phenomenal person, always willing to help, but nothing comes easy from this guy. Think outside the box and gain crisis mgt.

Professor Gnauck is very intelligent and truly wants his students to succeed. Do not listen to negative comments, he is difficult but hey, ITS COLLEGE !!! Yes the course is hard but it is a 400 level and he is SO willing to help !!! If people don't like him it is because they were not willing to put in the work. Favorite professor !

Comment:

I believe this is a very helpful class. Professor Gnauck is very precise on what he wants for answers which can disuade you in the beginning but you have enough time to adapt to what he wants to survive in the class. The semester project takes a lot of work but really can help your grade. I recommend this class and this professor.

Very difficult class, but it should be as the crowning class of the College of Business. Go every day, take good notes. He is also very helpful when you go to his office. He will also read your paper in advance, use him. He helped my group a lot.

Comment:

The worst professor in College history. Expects way too much and his tests are essay and if you don't have the EXACT answer he wants it is wrong. Very vague on instructions and expects you to not have a job so you can do lots of out of class group work. If you can choose another one do it, if not you are SCREWED. Quit job and drop other classes.

Comment:

He is a good teacher but is very difficult. Gives only essay question tests. He grades them very harshly if one does not have the answer exactly how he expects it. He also like to give minimal instructions on papers and other assignments. He also grades these harshly. Avoid unless you crave a challenging class.

Comment:

Strategic thinking is about foreseeing and reasoning in order to make effective and efficient decisions. With this teacher you are expected to read av.40 pages per week, learn by heart, and (re)write with speed with perfect English during the exam. Without a sense. The team work was a misunderstanding and no help from the teacher about this issue.

Comment:

He seems like a really cool guy if you met him outside of class, however he expects FAR too much for an introduction class. Tests are very hard (14 pages of essays normally), and he actually deducts points from your attendance score if you participate in class, but get the wrong answer. Ask for advice about anything, and he'll shrug you off.

Comment:

Dr. Gnauck is an okay guy, but I would have taken another professor if I could. The major problem I had: he's vague when giving instructions, and marks you down when you don't include what he "wanted". He grades hard, and expects a lot from his students. Partipation and attendence is a major part of class and will be included in exam grades.

Comment:

I'm all about being challenged & working hard, but Dr. Gnauk's expectations are highly out of touch. Saying his tests are ridiculous is an understantment-unless you have flawless photographic memory. Dr. Gnauk's knowledge about business is out of date & narrow minded. I feel that I did not gain the knowledge that I should've from this class.

He knows his stuff but he grades unbelievably hard. He doesn't cut anyone breaks on grades. He will take huge chunks off your grade for miniscule things. If you're not willing to work your ass of prepare for a low grade or drop it with a 'W'

Comment:

Honest Straight forward professor. Take good notes, attend class regularly, PARTICIPATE, and be prepared to work ALOT. Hardest 200 level class taken. All essay question tests, no credit for partial answers. Need to put a lot of time to succeed in his courses.
