Comment:

Took this class as a hybrid but would never take him again. His lectures never matched the test criteria. His test were 100 questions and you must read the chapters to pass, ran out of time on all three (1hr, 40 min) Get ready to read and make sure you understand the concept of the chapters because the test are out of the book and SCRAMBLED !!

He is a good professor but if you send him an email do not expect him to answer you back. I sent him 10 emails in a row before he finally answered me back and I had to eventually ask the other students in my class to get my answers. The class was a hybrid and you do not need to be present to be successful in the class. Case studies and 3 tests.

Great Summer Filler class. Material not too challenging however there is a lot of reading. Case Studies are easy as long as you keep up with them and not save them until the end. Tests online, lots of questions but lots of time to finish as well. Overall a worthy class!

Such an effortless class, but definitely learned a lot. Be prepared for weekly book reports-make sure to do all of them. Most of the class is made up of these reports, can affect your grade by a whole lot.

Do the case studies on time. The tests are all online. No final. Easy A. Great prof. if you want to show up to class, he has alot to say about life in general but attendance isnt necessary to pass.

Hybrid course. Clear expectations and grading criteria. Extra credit offered on every assignment except for tests (3) and essay (1). Final exam is not cumulative. Cool guy, laid back, do your job and he'll do his. Easy day.

This is one of those classes that you don't have to attend, but it is really worth it if you do. Prof. Wagoner tells funny anecdotes from his life experiences and even though he'll tell the same stories sometimes, it doesn't lose its humor. If you're a patriot with thick skin and aren't too worried about PC, you'll like this class.

His lectures didn't seem helpful for the test, but he'd read the study guide to us and we'd answer the questions. You wouldn't remember during the test tho. I figured out other means to pass the tests without reading the EXTRA LONG chapters. His book report wasn't bad at 7 pages. We read It's Your Ship. Great book. Do your case studies every week!

Comment:

He was easy going. I took this class as a hybrid Saturday class. He tends to go on tangents about his past experience, which can be hilarious. As for the class, make sure to read the chapters and listen to his overview of each chapter, some test questions come from that. Be prepared to write a 7 page book report. My final grade was an A.

Mr. Wagoner is awesome. I highly recommend his class. He has a great sense of humor, is an easy grader, and an overall nice guy. He assigns weekly case studies which are super easy to do, a 7 page book report (it's not that bad). The three tests come directly from reading the book. Typing out the terms helps. No final exam

Easy class, 100 questioned exams. 3 exams. 7 page essay over a book (who does book reports anymore?!). WEEKLY assignments. Inaccurate and lacking syllabus. Boring lectures, nobody ever goes. You don't really learn anything. He kind of just rants on and on. I feel like it's a waste of my money. But he is nice. Not responsive though.

Comment:

Yes, it is easy. But the tests are just unbelievable. About 100 questions, and super boring. He's nice, but he is also boring. The 7pg paper due at the end of the semester is pointless. My friend is taking the same class with a diff. prof., and he's easier. I wouldn't take him again. If you like doing unless work, then take him. Doesn't email back.

Excellent instructor! Totally impossible to fail his class. Just do the weekly case studies, take the tests, and pass. Also, we had to do a book report that was due at the end of the semester. Overall, very easy! I highly recommend him.

Comment:

Good class, just some busy work in the form of case studies that are due weekly. I turned all of mine in at once and didnt go back to class. Exams are straight from the book and as long as you read/skim the chapters youll pass. Book report was okay...I wrote pretty much on the first chapter only and received a 90. Apparently he curves entire class.

Cool professor, very understanding, good sense of humor. Beware because he changed all of his tests so now they are very tedious from readings 80 questions in 70mins and cannot revisit the previous questions. HW are very easy and very interesting assigned Book which u do a book report on. He is very responsive on emails. Overall I enjoyed the class
