Comment:

Neil is a great prof and he knows a lot about negotiations. However, this course is annoying, especially the scored negotiations. An A-/B+ is very attainable because Neil does not trick students on his midterm or the final. I recommend attending class to help with the exams.

Comment:

He is a very sweet & knowledgeable guy who lived quite the interesting life. While he is very smart, his teaching tactics are rather boring and slow - perhaps because he is aging. On the plus side, you don't need to attend class. Read and understand the textbook and you will get an easy A. Test questions are from the the test bank which is online.

Comment:

He's a good prof but he doesn't know how to teach. His case study method was really confusing and he's a really tough grader. You have to go to his every class to be informed as he doesn't post information online. He does 30 minutes of "meditation" in class which makes students so sleepy and unfocused.

Comment:

It's easy & all in the textbook. Long boring lectures. He BURNS skippers on 20%case & 40%Final. Posted case instructions are deliberately misleading; real info given in-class verbally. No exam instructions posted, all verbal. These petty tricks disregard department's course management & RU accommodation policies . Students should complain. SWAP!

Very good professor, he is very knowledgeable, funny and gives excellent professional advice. Attendance and participation matter to do well in this class as well as he stresses following guidelines/instructions carefully.

Comment:

Overall my experience with professor Rothenberg was very good, the course consisted of two tests, case study and a final exam. The test questions are straight from test banks, and more importantly for the case study FOLLOW HIS GUIDELINES IF YOU WANT A GOOD MARK, he wants his case study done in his way. Go to class and do those worksheet questions.

attendance is very important to this proff, talks about absenteeism a lot . Do not try to leave during the break he grills you. slides are posted online and he intentionally leaves stuff out. if you don't go to class you will be uninformed. its an easy enough course, recommend him if you are able to attend his classes

Comment:

He's a great prof. he posts everything online so you dont have to go to class but its good to go to the first 2-3 classes as he explains how to write the case study. You need to study for the tests even tho its multiple choice. The powerpoints are enough to get a good grade just make sure you actually know how to apply it.

Comment:

I had him for 741 and 721. He always says he hates when profs try to try to trick students on assignments and tests with vague instructions. He says just do exactly as your askd in the rubric and youll do well. 741 group project is easy if you have a good group and pop assignment is long. take his advice and start early and itll be so easy.

Comment:

The 3 negotiations progressively get harder and harder. They seem kind of dumb because they're based on points and not really value. Midterm was pretty easy but the take home exam you need the textbook and he marks it pretty hard. Don't miss too many classes or you will lose marks.

Comment:

Understanding and nice professor, and very approachable outside of classroom. He's big on participation so try to say a few things in each class so you get full participation marks! For the group project, SASS, POP report, etc just ask him if there's any confusion, he's very open and willing to help people succeed.

Comment:

There are 3 negotiations which are progressively more and more challenging. The midterm was very easy, just read and review his slides. The exam (take home) was fairly easy, but you for sure need to use the textbook. Classes are sometimes dry, but he marks attendance so SHOW UP and watch a movie... He also plays music and is very nice.

Comment:

He was one of the most caring profs I've ever had! He marks really fairly and is really understanding. Quiz and exam were VERY straightforward. Studying off the textbook and slides would get you an easy A. For the POP project and the SASS report make sure you put in a lot of effort and details to get a good mark.

He is a good prof. Course is HEAVY on HW for every class & lots of assignments. Make sure you are SPECIFIC for the POP &SASS assignment or you wont get good grade. He loves people who participate so make yourself known to him. He is very knowledgeable &gives good lecture. The course is just a lot of work. Easy work but VERY time consuming

Comment:

He's a good prof. Just do your part and study for the multiple choice tests and you should be good. If you usually get A's you will get an A in this class, and same thing if you get B's. Definitely not a bird course. You have to know the material for the exam and tests.

Comment:

Professor Neil Rothenberg is a professor that falls in between those who favor him and those who don't. He is a normal professor who has a passion to teach students that was clearly demonstrated through his lectures. The lectures, however are longer than necessary at times which took away the attention of students greatly.
