Comment:

Kent is a great entreprenurial professor. He has great ideas and can really be helpful for students pursuing to own a business. Kent has many success stories, so he knows the do's and dont's. He is very knowledgeable but also takes what you're saying into consideration. I enjoyed his class very much.

I really liked Dr. Byus. He taught my business entrepreneurship, innovation, and creation(BUSI 3315) and was very available in his office. He was helpful and stern. As long as you go to class and do the work you will make an A.

Comment:

Proof that those that can't do teach. Just read the book you will get an A. Professor is too arrogant to realize he is clueless. Knows very little about entrepreneurship and doesn't realize the real world is different than academia. Bless his heart. If you want an easy class, take his. If you actually want to learn something, avoid this class

Comment:

The professor is very helpful if you reach out to him directly. I found the class very interesting. The only negative that I would mention is that he has a team that does the grading and one of the individuals that graded the case studies was never consistent in her grading and if you ask her to explain there is little to no response.

Impossible to get an A. His tests are designed to trick you no matter how much you study. Each class is worth 5 points, can't miss. You have to pay for an online thing to do homework. It's stupid. So glad to be done with his class.

Comment:

Dr. Byus has a lot of real-world knowledge, but has a tendency to do his lectures in the form of highly conceptual discussions with the class. Be sure you read every chapter, it makes a WORLD of difference when taking his tests. He's super nice and super helpful, and wants everyone to do well.

Tests were kind of difficult, because they are from the book which we don't really cover in class or in slides. You actually have to read to do well on the tests. He's really helpful, and uses real world examples. I'd def. take him again.

Comment:

Makes lectures very interesting and often funny! Lectures do not come straight from the book so reading is a must if you want to pass exams and quizzes! Uses real world examples that are easy to understand. Assigns long term projects that are extrememly useful in learning what to expect in the real world, but they require some work

He uses the real business examples that make students easy to understand and useful for later career. For his test, read the book and you are totally fine.

Awesome professor! And far and away the best MKTG professor at TAMUCC. Makes lectures very interesting. You will actually really learn something in this class. Also, I don't get all the comments on here that he is hard. This is one of the easier As I've gotten. Just show up and do the online tests and you're golden. Highly recommend.

Dr. Byus is a great professor. He really knows his stuff and make class interesting, which is unheard of with some of the TAMUCC professors. I took his Maymester class, he works you hard but it is over in two weeks and well worth it!

Comment:

You can learn alot from Dr.Byus he's a pretty cool professor but his test material never seemed to reflect the lectures. BEWARE! You have to know random facts in the book that he pulls out so lots of reading and memorization is required. Although you get to use a resource sheet at times, it doesn't really help.

Comment:

Made you feel like an idiot if your answer didn't match his. Acted as if he were a god delivering a sermon to the mere mortals at his feet. Went a couple times to get help outside of class time and was made to feel that I was bothering him and keeping him away from his business(es?) that he operates on the side. Finally withdrew.

Comment:

Has students' interest at heart but expresses it in a unique way. He sometimes gets TOO passionate with his "constructive criticism" and loses his cool. Good luck!
