Comment:

Yea, the class was easy, but a total and complete waste of time and money. Pretty much all questions on the tests were over his stories. I don't care about his life stories, I care about getting what I pay for, and I didnt pay for his stories. Ridiculous. If you want to learn something, don't sign up for this class.

Comment:

Professor Bowdidge is a hilarious old man. His class is very easy if you show up and pay attention. Tests are off of his stories in class. It is an all lecture class with no homework and you almost always get out early. Show up and take notes. It's as simple as that. He sometimes skips around on topics so pay attention.

cutest old man ever. if you are unsure about going into business don't take this class. however, if you need credits or want an easy business class take john. he is informative and teaches business through life experiences-ie stories. don't buy the book but do get the glycerol. love john

Comment:

Dr. Bowdidge is a cute little old man. He is the nicest guy you will ever meet. He gives up around 20 points of extra credit during the semester and his tests are all from his stories in class. I would recommend taking his class or an easy A. You don't even need to purchase the book either. He will also sing to you in class as well.

Comment:

One thing: DONT BUY THE BOOK! We never used it. The only thing you really need for this class is the Introgylcerine. His tests are all about that and the Wall Street Journal, but you dont need to subscribe to that either cus he discusses it all in class. GO TO CLASS EVERYDAY, his tests are all about his little stories that have nothing to do w/ bus

Comment:

This guy cracks me up! He is never very serious and at least he's entertaining. But you absolutely HAVE to take notes on his stories. They WILL be on the test. Pretty much, most of the class consisted of applications of business through his stories, but be ready to learn things that had nothing to do with business.

Comment:

This Professor was great. He's funny and doesn't take himself to seriously. He's the cutest old man ever and succeeds in relating to this younger generation through stories and experience. Take notes on all his stories because they will show up on a test. Go to class the day before the test and he will give you everything you need to know. Easy A

THe main textbook was not used except once. Bowdidge tells great stories and gives you real world examples. You do not acquire a lot of technical knowledge, but you may learn other skills by drawing from his experiences.
