Comment:

Lots of sidetracking off subject on unrelated topics, mostly related to his irish heritage. Needs more real world experience than his theories of how to run a great business.

Comment:

If you put in a reasonable amount of work it's not hard to get an A. Class is boring, tests are all online and you don't need to read the book to do well. Just know what pages the main terms are on. The two group papers/presentations are most of your grade and require the most work. But not bad overall.

Comment:

For being an ethics professor he talks about very inappropriate stuff. His grading isn't consistant at all the only reason to come to class is because participation is worth 25% of your grade. If it weren't for that aspect I wouldn't have went to maybe more than three classes. BORING!

Awful teacher. The textbook is more interesting than he is. Tests are extremely difficult. His teaching style does not follow any rational pattern. Worthless class I didn't learn anything.

Comment:

Always examine and question test scores. Tell others to also. Bring witnesses (plural) if you go to his office to question anything. Never turn in a test or a paper without having him sign for it in your course notebook. Make your own receipt. Prides himself on "no A's." A true jerk.

Incredibly boring. If you're wondering why something doesn't make sense or is incredibly stupid, you can often find his own name cited at the bottom of the powerpoint presentation.

Comment:

The worst teacher ever. Very boring. The hardest grader I have ever had - will make things wrong (commas) even if they aren't wrong. Assignes a lot of dumb papers as well. Don't take him unless you absolutely have to.

Comment:

Had this prof for ethics, and not only was it the most boring class of my life, it didn't teach me anything.I'm more likely to embezzle funds now more than ever, just to not ever have to listen to McCuddy and his pathetic jokes. If you don't write in the paper what he wants to hear, good luck.

Comment:

The worst professor I encountered in the College of Business!!! Puts you to sleep every lecture, but your presentation better be interesting because he will give you a low, what he calls "grace" grade-I find him so hypocritical. He thinks he's funny, but his jokes are dumb and he plays favorites in class. If you like to BS in your papers, go for it

Outstanding teacher. Best in MBA program. Provokes the level of thinking to be expected at the MBA level. Not a class for slackers..

Comment:

Read the book for quizes. Decently harsh paper grader He has hilarious stories he likes to tell in class, which is the only thing that'll keep you awake since his points are irrelevant. Also one will notice a sexual undertone to his examples, hmmmm.

Comment:

I had him for Business Ethics, which is probably one of the top 3 classes I've taken at VU. He is very passionate about the subject, is a nationally known expert in the field, and really expresses the material well. He has a no-nonsense attitude too.
