Comment:

This guy is hands down the best professor I have had at CMU. He is very organized. Everything you need is on Blackboard. He is very understanding and fair. He makes the class seem hard, but really if you just do what you're supposed to it's not. You will actually learn too.

This guy is great! He's funny, and knows his stuff. His class is fairly easy, and the Capsim project he makes you do seems dumb at first, but is actually very helpful in understanding business. Take him if you get the chance!

Comment:

He is one of the best teachers I have ever had. CMU would be stupid to get rid of him ever. We do a company simulation in groups that is well worth the investment. He also has everyone do career contacts and mock interviews which stops people from procastinating on those things. His teaching style is enjoyable and I will take him for 495.

This guy is awesome! He's funny and he loves to teach. His quizes are over what's going to be on the exams. The study guides help a lot, if you do those and study them you'll be fine. Great Teacher!

Comment:

Lots of stuff to do but they aren't too hard and they relate to the real world--which we will be faced with soon. A few comments mentioned that we take some of the Fridays off. No we don't. We need to get together with our capsim group and make decisions. Capsim is cool but lots of work. Great prof.

Spence taught Mgt 647 at Southfield site. Enjoyed his class. Like the set-up. Very pleasant and helpful. Study guides had a purpose. Learned a lot. Always knew where you stood.

Comment:

He is very clear in what he expects, is always available for class and personal advice, and is an all-around great person and professor. His assignments weren't very demanding, but made me learn more about myself and become more comfortable speaking in front of a group.

Spence is the man! No friday classes. He bought us pizza one day. Assignments have a good purpose but are so simple. Take him in any class and you won't regret it.

Comment:

He doesn't spoonfeed the material. Requires us to put effort into learning. Personally, I love this style. It's a heckuva lot closer approach to real world than most other profs I've had. Emphasizes career stuff, presentations, and self initiative--definitely not lectures.

Hate having to teach myself! College is to expensive to have to teach yourself. Too many pointless presentations. No guidance on CAPSIM! Did not get anything from this class. Too bad its required.

Too many presentations, great guy, have to learn the material on your own. No homework, just alot of small easy stuff to prepare you for your professional career.

Comment:

This class is all presentations, whether individual or group. it gets real real annoying. he teaches for about 5 minutes per class, so you have to learn everyone on your own. his tests are kinda hard, unless you study a lot.

Comment:

This has been the most pointless class I have ever taken. He is so disorganized, that I don't even think he knows what he is teaching. He depends too much on the simulation to teach us class objectives!
