Comment:
It is with a great deal of disappointment that i write this review. Nick is an arrogant and vague lecturer. his lectures range from his own imagination to intimidating and unnecessary scare-tactics(he'll test you on this as well). I strongly believe he is becoming senile. Avoid his class. I have a 4.0 and i got a C in his class. enough said.

One of the more prestigious business professors at USF. Assigns 2 midterms, 2 case studies, small group projects, and a final presentation make up for most of the grade. Definitely talk to Imparato outside of class to learn more about possible internship opportunities.

Comment:
Expert in his field, very powerful within the school. Impressing him goes a long way. Tough to do because he's no nonsense type. If miss class, you'll miss a lot and ruin ur rep. with him. Pretty tough grader, he only cares about insights. Wants you to go beyond, grammer, etc. prove that you can take the material and create major insight=A, or B.

This is one of the best Professors I've ever had. I had classes with him in 1990 (MBA, USF). It's like he had a crystal ball. His prophecies all came true. Unbelievable guy. Intelligent and connected. Makes complex themes look simple.

Has a quiz on reading and class lectures which are impossible not to get A's on. One of the easiest classes i've ever taken. Go to class, listen to what he says and guaranteed B+ or above in quizzes. Very interesting lectures and he certainly knows how to keep students entertained. If you want an almost guaranteed A take his class! Interesting man.

Great teacher, use him for more knowledge then just a boring intro class. He is too smart of a guy to just be teaching the intro class, even though that's what he likes. Probe him for further info trust me!

GM was my first business class, and after many others I still think it's my favorite. He gave incredibly interesting lectures. He really knows what he's talking about. He's really a high level consultant that just teaches for fun. Also, the exams were incredibly easy and their's a rediculous curve.

dont listen to the people who think hes arrogant, nothing could be further from the truth. theyre clearly just jealous or angry and too stupid to understand the importance of what hes trying to teach. if you want to be inspired, take his class.

Comment:
he asked us to buy a really expensive book that he wrote but we never used it. he's not very approachable when i ask him for help. instead i go to the TA's. don't go to him for help; ask the TA's. they're the teachers. just read the book and you'll do fine. lectures are useless.

Incredibly interesting lecturer, with many experiences to share. While he often comes across aloof, he is a very accomplished businessman and academic. Part of the Hoover Institution one of the few right leaning professors I have had. Wish he taught more than one class..

Imparato loves to talk about himself, but with the intention that we might have some of the experiences he's had. He is a brilliant speaker; enthusiastic about his subject and excited to teach. Very well versed in world issues, tests are hard but curved highly.
