I took this online and you REALLY have to teach yourself. The textbook is an absolute must. This is only a 200 level course and it feels like a 400 level. If you want an easy A don't take this class. The professor is a nice guy, but it's hard to get good help when you go into his office hours.

He is very nice but his lecture style is lacking. The lectures are nearly the same every day and not helpful at all. The class could be really easy and you'll see that when you read the textbook.

Comment:
I feel like Greenstein really knows his stuff, he just has trouble conveying it to others. For one thing, he is practically deaf. Class was in a big lecture hall, & people constantly had to scream at him. Nice man though. Most of class is spent listening to him go on confusing tangents, however if you read the textbook you should do okay.

He's a pretty repetitive old man, but he's very nice and polite. The exams are on the easy side, but sometimes the material you need to prep can be a little unclear. If you're not interested in philosophy though, he can be boring.

This was absolutely the worst class and teacher I have encountered. It takes this professor several weeks to get back to you regarding emails and grades.

Very boring. Class is kind of easy. Textbook is a definite. Exams are pretty quick. He is repetitive. Quiet spoken old man, but nice.

He's a really nice guy. However, not a good teacher. He's pretty repetitive. I always felt like I was learning the same thing every class. The class itself is pretty easy, but you don't really learn anything. Textbook IS required, unless you have a friend that you can look on with. He's always willing to help out students and is pretty lenient.

Comment:
I took an online version of Business Ethics. I got an A- but I wouldn't say the class was easy. You really need to take your time on the tests. Some of the questions aren't specific enough, so take a while to think about them since the tests aren't timed. Paper for modules should be about 1.5 pages single spaced

Comment:
A concern with Greenstein is that his tests are too subjective and they lack clarity. He requires multiple choice questions for a philosophy class which is absurd, especially since they aren't concise or accurate (found many errors which he ignored). It should be short essay questions or term papers. Sadly nothing was learned from this class.

Biggest piece of advice i can give about Dr. Greenstein is to check the class size before registering. His small classes are AMAZING. Will pass around attendance sheets but isnt a big stickler. Tells interesting stories and tests are easy if you have SOME basic idea whats going on. I do not recommend taking a bigger class, hes hard to hear and difficult to understand. Ive taken 2 classes with him and would definitely take more. He is a super nice guy overall and its a definite GPA boost.

Boring but easy class. Can barely hear him when he lectures, but bring your laptop and you wont be bored. And I don't know what these other people are talking about but there is an attendence policy. But you can pretty much walk out early anytime and he wont notice.

the material is hard at first, but its pretty repetitive so it starts to make sense after awhile. easy tests, simple angel posts every week, not a bad class, really.

boring, quiet, and overall a useless class. the exams are like 20 true/false questions, and you're done in 5 or 10 minutes.

Very Nice guy, but classes are extra boring. You pretty much have to take an online course while attending the normal class. Tests are super easy, and really not that much work is required.

I used this class to catch up on sleep(best thing is he doen't care!), in other words it was pointless.Test were a joke, 30 questions T/F. for all you chronic class skippers everything you need to know is on Angel or in the book.

Took this class and either skipped or slept through every session. The lectures are really all the same, reading doesn't really matter.
