Comment:

LOVED HIM! Super approachable and helpful. Gives 1-2 question quizzes almost everyday, so make sure to attend class. They're not hard and he goes over how to do them the class before. Only problem I had was that his exams are rough. Really rough. So study hard and go to extra help if needed.

He will try to scare you into thinking the class is harder than it is. Don't buy into it. Show up to class and pay attention and do literally 5 practice problems a chapter and you'll have no problem getting an A

If you have a good Calc background this class will be a piece of cake. Show up to class and it will be easier than highschool. If you dont have a good background the class will still be easy. he gives a lot of practice problems online and carfully goes though problems for you.

Professor Budnik is a great teacher. He explains all of the material very clearly and concisely. Plus, every now and again he'll give you his 2 cents on life which is always interesting. You have to come to every class thought because he usually gives a quiz.

I really enjoyed this Professor. He is very knowledgeable in the subject and explains everything very well. He makes himself very available and approachable. You have to attend class because there is no textbook and he gives a quiz pretty much every class.

The professor was dedicated and committed to helping me learn. I attribute much of my success to his guidance. I took the class in the spring of 1976 and continue to use the principals.

Awesome Professor, clear as clear can be when teaching. Not an easy class and you must work for the grade. Also, what he teaches can be applied to real life.

Excellent teacher. Couldn't have explained anything clearer. It is not an easy class but if you pay attention and study, the tests are very fair.

Comment:

Don't let anyone convince you that this is a difficult class. He explains everything as straightforward as possible and uses examples that he posts online for you to print. He never puts anything on an exam that he didn't go over properly. And he's a HUGE help if you go to his office hours. Just apply yourself and you'll see he's a good professor.

By far the hardest business professor. What you get is what you get your grades dont change. Theres a quiz every day the first 5 minutes of class so if your always late to class youll fail every quiz without a makeup. really dry material

Comment:

Budnick is one of the hardest professors i have ever had. You have a quiz everyday and if you miss one day it's almost impossible to make up. I have to take his class AGAIN next semester because he teaches to fast. I feel like he's just trying to get people to drop his class. I don't recommend him at all

Comment:

An awesome teacher! Taught at a good pace but make sure you take good notes and just copy off the board. There are "pop" quizzes usually the next class that are only a problem are two based off the previous lesson. He gives the class off before an exam and he has tons of packets available with additional problems and the answers already there

Budnick is a pretty good teacher. With my high school background the class came easy to me, however I think that Budnick teaches the course at a perfect pace. He also gives the class before and after exams off, which is pretty nice. This guy knows what he's doing no doubt, good teacher.

Very fast paced, dont miss a class or else you fail a quiz on it the next day. Notes are crucial. He gives 2-3 examples in class, quizes you on it, and then gives you a massive packet of problems that you can do... however i never did know if i was doing them right since we never reviewed them in class often. Study up...

Comment:

Great teacher. You will do fine as long as you pay attention and do the exercise sets that go along with whatever chapter he is on. Attendance isn't mandatory although if you don't go you probably won't do well, just like any other class. Highly recommend taking him if you get the chance.
