Comment:

Literally the most useless professor I've ever had. I couldn't tell you what we learned because we didn't learn anything. Spent entire lectures ranting about completely random things. Also didn't give us the outline for a giant project worth 30% of our our grade until a week before the due date, after we asked him a million times for it. Brutal

Comment:

George is by far the weirdest teacher I've ever had. He often tends to teach the class as if he is speaking to a Grade 7 class. However, his class is very easy to succeed in, he posts study guides online before the exams, and you dont really need to attend class to succeed. There are a couple group projects, the first one is very informal.

George is a friendly teacher and he is always there and willing to help you if you need a hand. Class needs participation and there are some group projects needed to be completed during the term. Try to find good group members if you could; otherwise, you will stuck on the work. George is also very knowledgeable and overall I would recommend him.

Comment:

His lecture was useless, just read the textbook. Only get grades for two midterms, but have no idea what happened to grades for individual and group report, presentation, and final; he did not post any grades on the moodle site. He missed two lectures due to his own health problem. Rarely reply emails. Spent so many time on this course, worthless.

Comment:

Friendly and easy-going but has tendency to teach like a Grade 9 teacher and goes on tangents a lot. You MUST attend class to understand concepts. He explains concepts clearly but the textbook/class notes don't. Textbook isn't needed. Tests require some definition memorization, but mainly concept application. Tests are long but no surprises.

George is the nicest prof ever and has the best attitude, but he isn't well organized. That being said, it can get a little annoying when you need to contact him or get him to post something up on moodle, but overall he's pretty easy. There's 2 midterms and a final which he gives review sheets for. Overall I do recommend him.

Comment:

George is a really nice prof, his major downfall is that he will go off about useless life information for 90% of the class. Prepare to teach yourself everything. He gets distracted by students questions often, but will make some effort to get back on track. I found the class easy and George was helpful. Project was easy along with tests.

Comment:

George is definitely a nice person. The problem is that being nice doesn't make you a great teacher. In order to do well in his class, you will need to mostly study his powerpoints and the book on your own. I must say his classes are extremely boring and he doesn't know how to get the class engaged.

George is a very chill instructor. All of his powerpoint presentations are based on the textbook; in addition to that, he is approachable and encourages class participation from time to time. If you want your GPA to boost, you might want to consider attending his class.

Comment:

He tells you everything thats going to be on the midterm, and for group projects, he doesn't mind if you kick people out if you have valid reasons. His ppt are almost useless, studied from the text for 80-85% of exams. There is a lot of content for his final exam, but if u study beforehand its fairly easy. He's also an extremely nice guy

No need for text book, everything that you need to know for the exams are in the PowerPoint. Group project was a poster board of taking a product made from Canada to another country. 2 Midterm both had 10 mc and 5 written and final exam was all written. Written paper worth 10% (hard marker on this). Easy course, did not learn anything, GPA booster

He is an amazing prof and very enthusiastic about what he does! His ppt notes are from the textbook so it won't be necessary for a tb. Midterms and finals are super easy as long as you follow the study guides that he gives. Group project was a breeze along with the presentation. Easy marker, GPA booster, would definitely take him again.

Comment:

George is the nicest guy ever! He really is, and he is always smiling. But there is no point in going to his class because you have to teach yourself. He gives you review packages, and the midterms are based off of that. So if you answer all the questions, you'll do really well! & there's a group project, which is pretty easy. GPA booster for sure

Comment:

George is a nice over all professor who is very upbeat and what not but I wouldn't recommend taking his class unless you enjoy participating in every little thing he says. He also enjoys going off topic.. he would say he wants to talk about this but then go off about another. Everything is really scattered and what not and is quite confusing.

Comment:

George gets distracted easily and always wants to share a random story. He is a hard marker for reports. There is a term project worth about 65% of your mark (multiple components). Choose your group wisely because you will be stuck with them! It is tough to get an A in this class. There are no finals and George does not teach you from the textbook.

Good - very nice, entertaining to listen to, and very approachable. Classes are easy if you read the text. The bad - doesn't respond to emails, very unorganized, doesn't provide review sheets in timely manner (if time management is important this is key).

Comment:

I took Essentials of Management with George and it was my least favourite class of the semester. George was a nice and approachable guy but was very scattered in his teaching. Dry classes, nothing but slides. Bad commuinication with what was expected for the project. Only good was the course was easy. I would not take another course from him.
