This is professor who really is sweet. After hearing about his class I took and it made me happy. The only catch is group projects. If you are not big on it then sorry. He made learning a great experience.

Easy class. Learned a lot about the business cycle and steps necessary in starting a new venture. He is very helpful. Lectures are boring, but the class is easy if you do the reading for quizzes. Should be an online class though, since I never showed up and still did well on all assignments. No final other than an all semester project. Stress free.

He's an amazing faculty.His lectures are practical & he gives 3 assignments. He wants more details & then it's possible to get full 150 points. 5 quizzes which are not difficult. 1 is take home quiz & he drops 1 lowest quiz. 2 midterms & 1 final multiple-choice & short questions. EC are good to do it which helps for exams. Great personality.

Comment:

Spend a whole semester making a business plan of sorts. You can work alone or in groups. Gives you some pointers and lets you do your own thing. Usually leaves early. Lets the class guide the direction of the course in terms of presentations and grading. Nice guy with a refreshing teaching style.

Comment:

Experimental course. He's flexible with due dates. Exams are either easy or challenging. Lectures are boring. Book required to reinforce lecture. Class more project oriented. Very helpful in aiding you in the project and assignments. Very approachable. You can learn a lot in this class. I would recommend him for BUS 139.

Took him my first semester with SJSU, and he was very helpful. Not hard, and tells you what to expect on quizzes. He will learn your name no problem if you raise your hand in the first week. I enjoyed this class, and never felt stressed over the assignments. I would recommend him. Plus he is pie compared to other Bus130 teachers

Comment:

I took him during a winter course and was a lot of reading but easy. Paper was the hardest part of the class seriously. Quizzes are out of his lectures which helps a lot. Never read the book. idk why people say he doesn't reply to emails b/c he did to me! Ask questions about the paper, i didn't so got stuck with a B and discussion is easy as well.

Take him for mktg! He tells you whats on the quiz, just study the ppt and you should be good, look over notes. He is such a nice guy, and has great examples. Group work, and gives EC! Got an A in the class and i barely ever hardcore studied.Sometimes goes off but he'll be back on track. . Same questions on exams at times, but may be tricky.

He is super easy and outlines what you need to know on exams and quizzes. The lectures can be boring, but at least he learns your name! I would recommend taking him for Marketing Intro courses...He also gives out some extra credit opportunities for some grade insurance.

Comment:

A great man. Very approachable, but if you want to learn something take another professor. I learned absolutely nothing in this class. It was a waste of time. He always leaves the class half an hour earlier. For those who do not care about learning, you will be very happy in this class.

Such a great teacher! Gotta love this guy. I learned, I enjoyed seeing him, I enjoyed being in the class. He is very helpful and generous with extra credit. I wish all teachers were like Prof G. One of the nicest and approachable teachers on campus. I'm not smart, but I put in a lot of effort and should get a good grade. That is how all classes SHOULD be.

Comment:

A great class overall because it is entertaining and useful. Hes a really nice guy and the tests use the same questions as old exams for the most part. Study the study guides and read those sections in the book. Group work is not difficult just tedious. The other prof is Vitale and he is terrible.

Comment:

One of my Top 3 professors ever taken! Very updated in his teachings & uses different techniques to get across to his students. Assignments are interesting (many extra credits, MC exams, one 2-part group project). Allows students to develop our own creativity. Funny & enjoyable, engages with students. Will take him for future courses, RECOMMENDED!!
