Whitman is an awesome person! His lectures are powerpoint/video and exams can be ambiguous. Read the book and you'll be fine. However, he's retiring after the summer

Comment:

This class stinks, but it's not too hard. You really don't need to show up, but everyone felt bad because each class was empty. Everything comes out of the textbook, you can zone out during the class. And trust me you will, it is tedious. But if you want a somewhat easy class then take this

Comment:

business management; a lot of powerpoint and videos, he's the nicest old man to ever live, but his tests are pretty hard if you don't seriously read the book. going through the class, i thought it was common sense stuff, but he takes very specific stuff from the book for tests. easy enough class.

He's a very nice guy. A lot of videos and power point. You have to work to get an A, but a B is an easy reach.

Got really angry that no one came to class this semester tests were very difficult - doesn't care if you did actually come to class. Maybe next semester will be better - take Curley

Good guy, however, I wish I had skipped class more often because nothing he says is ever on a test. Only from the book. Does not raise your grade for class participation.

Comment:

No need to go to class at all as long as you read. He teaches using the slides from the book, and all of his examples are from the book. I skipped his class at least 1 or 2 times a week and still managed an easy B+...His grading scale is weird though... you need to get like 97's on all the tests in order to get an A-.

The tests are very straightforward, no tricks. He has a great deal of common sense knowledge of business that students can learn from. He provides information that can be applied in the workplace (after you graduate). Good understanding of trends in the business world.

Everything in his class is based on the book's powerpoint slides/tests. His title is senior lecturer ...they got the senior part right.
