Comment:

Salsbury is one of my favorite professors at Bentley! What I learned in his Quality Management class was so useful and gave me so much perspective on business. I am not a management major, but his class was so worthwhile! There is a lot of work (case studies you have to analyze + tests), but overall he is an easy grader and a really nice guy!

Comment:

Jim was a good professor. He taught you a lot, while also expected a lot, but was very fair. He definitely knew his information and presented it in a nice way. I would take him again if I had the chance. Also, make sure you do the readings, and try hard the papers. Those are the easy points because the tests are somewhat difficult.

Comment:

Good guy. He's kind of funny and his lectures are pretty chill. He tells you every single thing to star on his power points that will be on exam, study those and you'll ace it. Quizzes aren't great but he drops 3 lowest so they're super doable. Go see him with your project and he'll tell you what he does and doesn't want. Deff take for 214

DEF TAKE SALSBURY! I dont know if it was OM that was easy or the fact that he made it so easy. He's very straight foward and funny. Tells you exactly what slides and sometimes questions that will be on the tests. Tests are so easy! DEFINITELY TAKE!

For OM Salsbury is extremely fair in grading. Memorization of his slides is a must though in order to do well on exams. No surprises here, take good notes and know the slides and you will do well. For Project Module, he is a very fair grader. He took the time to help our group prepare for our final presentation. Much appreciated! Recommended!

Comment:

This class was incredibly easy. However, MEMORIZE the slides. I never even opened the book, but those slides will tell you everything you need to know and you definitely need to know everything on them. He makes the material interesting by throwing in real-life examples (generally repeats them, too, so have patience) Really nice guy

Very nice and extremely knowledgable guy! Class was easy and interesting. He really knows what he's talking about. Don't even read the book, tests are very easy and right off the slides. Probably the best OM teacher!

Really nice guy. Smokes cigars and likes to drink, laid back. Knows the material and teaches the concepts beautifully. Exams are right from slides, straight forward, dont need the book. Keeps the material interesting. If u study the slides for a couple of hours, should get east 3.7, 4.0.

Comment:

As the coordinator of GB 301, he is on top of his game. He is full of anecdotal evidence and experience. He navigates the course expertly, is efficient with class time, and explains the material very well. What is covered on the exams is no surprise. I couldn't conceive of a better professor to take for OM.

Great guy!! Take him for 301, but make sure that Sullivan isn't your finanace prof, cuz if he is, you will fail anyway!! But Salisbury is reasonable and teaches what you need to know to get the project done as well as testing fairly. TAKE HIM
