Comment:

The only reason you should go to his class is for participation marks he gives. His exams were way too specific and upset a lot of the class. I would not recommend him if you have other options.

Comment:

To be honest, I never learn anything from this guy's lectures. He can't teach you. He is so boring, and monotonous. You have to teach everything yourself. On the plus side, everything he teaches is straight from the textbook.

This guy is a tool!He gives group midterms and finals.If you have get assigned group members(like i did)that don't pull their weight or who don't(like my group member)show up for the exam...well that's just too bad.He could care less and still expect you do as much as a fully functional group. The group member who missed the midterm got same grade

Comment:

Rick is a standup guy. His voice is a little monotonous, but he knows his material, knows how to teach it, and knows how to make it interesting to everyone on some level (if the course doesn't already have their interest) . Plenty of practical experience in the field, so he isn't just a textbook prof. Four stars.

Exams were straight forward. Class was taught pretty much from the textbook which made the class pretty straight forward as well. Liked the class. Excellent prof.

Comment:

Tallman's great. Good teacher, exams are straight forward. The class can get a little boring but you must attend because of the groupwork/attendance he does with the groupwork.

Comment:

He relates to real life situations and events which prove to be good examples for the class. This class should be broken up into two sessions because too much is gone over to cram it all into your head in one 3 hour session. Other then that, the class is enjoyable. Not a fan of group exams though

Comment:

Really enjoyed his class. Found his examples interesting and related to the REAL world (I'm an adult student, so I can relate). Didn't like the group exams - too much depending on other people. Recommend you sit up front & get involved - your marks will reflect this.

Waste of life. Complete jerk. No personality to speak of. The class was a waste of time as well.

Comment:

Hell of a nice guy, very empathetic... but beyond being nice... his class is dreadful. To stay awake, is to find some inner void where neither he, nor the common sense material can hurt you. Pretty easy, but he does particpation points, so you have to go

Comment:

Is he boring or is it just the material? I think it's a little of both but he seemed like a nice guy so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Still, three-hour management science classes are deadly.
