Comment:

Take this professor for BUS 195 and it'll be the easiest A you receive in the business school. The midterm and the final are extremely easy and the final presentation can honestly be put together a few days before due date. The lectures are completely useless and boring but pretend like you're listening and you'll get a good grade

Comment:

This guy is a joke. He is seriously lacking in organizational skills. Besides being tested on material that wasn't taught to us --like not even mentioned in class-- it was also material that was completely useless. Overall the class is pointless , offers no value whatsoever, and was a complete waste of my time. If you have him, run for your life.

Worst. Professor. Ever. He rambles on about stuff not related to the class. Terrible timesyllabus management. Be prepared to be completely clueless about your project and receive no help. If he tries to explain he totally confuses everyone. Rude, unhelpful, boring.

Totally USELESS. He had no idea what he's teaching and his syllabus and the schedule for the class is a total mess. Totally not qualified to be a teacher/lecturer/professor. His PowerPoint slides are of the lowest quality ever. Besides,he did not make it clear what he expect for the report for the class and always forgotten what he said to students

Worst professor I have ever had. This man is such a terrible teacher, he wouldn't even be qualified to teach the custodial staff how to do their job. Avoid at all costs, unless you have trouble sleeping, in which case take him to catch up on some zZzZzz's during his horrendous lectures.

Going into the final, no one in the class has any idea what grade they will receive or what will be graded on the final. I did not learn a single thing in this class and he had no idea what he was talking about at times. Just a horrible experience.

Comment:

Dropped the class after 2 weeks. Should rename class socialism 101. He thinks that corps. are the root of all evil and that government is the white knight we all need to save us from ourselves. Interesting that hes teaching a class on Business Strategy. Take him if your very liberal, then your sure to get an A. REPUBLICANS BEWARE!

Comment:

So attendance is mandatory and the lectures are really boring. You learn some random information which is okay, but scary for the test. Tends to repeat himself alot. No busy work, just a huge paper and 2 tests. Nice guy overall, kinda funny. Class is fairly easy if understand business in the grand scheme of things. Never studied for the tests

Comment:

What a joke. We spent more than half of class one day going through global warming and Terry Schiavo. Similar days throughout the semester. Extremely politically motivated. Not sure what his qualifications are regarding business strategy (which is what the class is supposed to be about), but he's definitely qualified to push political propaganda.

Totally random, had no idea what I was supposed to be doing. Also his stories are SO OFF THE WALL and never pertain to class. If you have a choice take someone else!

Comment:

Ok he is boring but he has a lot of important information. Really opened up my eyes to how corrupt corporations are. We pretty much read the entire book (the readings are sooooooo boring!!), we discuss the readings in class, we watch videos in class and the exam is straight from that stuff--so make sure you pay attention.

Comment:

The subject matter for this course is boring, but important for business. The professor really did not make it interesting. In fact, I was rather annoyed when he would inject his political views. The exams weren't hard but the questions were very vague. Wasn't very good at making materials available on blackboard or answering emails.

This guy is an idiot! Horrible teacher. Has a hard time putting two sentences together. IDIOT! He is boring and the only way he can teach is with PBS specials. Take anyone else but him. He doesn't even talk about business in class. Just about homosexuals and the evils of Bush! He needs to teach what he is paid to teach, buisiness! Don't take him

This guy is the definition of a tool. He's a loony hippy that doesn't know jack about business. His MBA students teach him everything he knows about business. The only time I tried to contact him, I was ignored. I e-mailed him, called him and slid a note under his door. I received no response.
