Comment:

In an online setting he assigns lots of busy work. Doesn't matter what week or if you have a test, you still have a discussion to do with unclear guidelines, a hw assignment from the book, a connect learnsmart assignment and a quiz on that learnsmart. I have more work in this one class than my other 4 combined..

Comment:

Very nice guy but he reads directly from powerpoint. If you go over the powerpoint before the tests, you're good to go. No class the week of a test & they're online. Easy HW after each chapter. One group project that is pretty easy (don't over think it). He's not very helpful when teaching Microsoft Project. Gives good real world Project Mgt advice

Comment:

He has "podcasts" that are recordings of his lectures. Have you ever tried to listen to someone teach how do work a math problem without the ability to see what they are doing? Ridiculous. The professor needs to adjust what he offers to help online students understand the material better.

Comment:

By far the worst online teacher I have ever had. Unorganized, clueless, and not clear in any of his directions. The homework he assigns takes hours, he spams student's emails with reminders, and the tests are impossible to pass unless you cheat due to the ridiculously specific questions. This was a terrible experience. Stay away.

Comment:

Worst class business majors have to take. Everyone was astonished I made a 75 on the math portion of the test since most people made less than 50. He does not curve the test despite the low grades. He is a monotone speaker and does not give a rubric for the group project. If you take him, good luck. More than 4 HW assignments a week.

Comment:

This class is difficult but Dr. Richardson gives you everything you need in order to pass the class. HW is in connect along with quizzes and learn smart assignments. He allows multiple submissions of the HW and takes your highest grade. Everyone should be able to get 100 on all the HW, learnsmart, and online quizzes.

Comment:

NOT the professor to take online. The exams are split into two sections: concepts and problems. Concepts are extremely similar to the powerpoints and an easy A, but the problem portions are nearly impossible.

Comment:

This was the worst experiences I've had in a class. He constantly sent automated emails & would bug you if you didn't have an assignment or test completed three days before the due date. Pretty sure the whole class failed the problems portion of the last exam (split into concepts & math) b/c the practice exam didn't prepare us at all. Don't take.

The class is hard, but Dr. Richardson gives you ALL the tools you need to succeed. Take advantage of this! He is very involved! There is no reason for you to fail this class if you do what you are supposed to do! There is one group project, connect hw and quizzes, and 3 tests (each test has a concept part, and a problem part).

Comment:

Best online professor I have ever had. Exams were split between concepts and math, math sections were almost incomprehensible at first glance. Richardson gave us innumerable resources to succeed. Podcast lectures to go along with power point notes, Udemy videos, practice exams. He was the most involved online professor I have ever had.

Comment:

Very difficult class, mostly because of how unnecessarily hard the tests were and how inconvenient the group project was. He basically lets Connect do all the teaching for him. Lectures were very boring and overly technical, and he is not much help outside of class (or in it). Would not recommend.

Comment:

Tests are very difficult, there's a problem part and a concept part. Homework and quizzes are done through Connect. There is a group project and he doesn't give strict or clear guidelines. Not your easy A, but an A is achievable. Make sure you do Connect homework and quizzes or your grade won't have cushion from the hard tests. Study from Udemy

Good luck with this guy. He was no help and he teaches from connect. Chapter 3 homework is about 1/4 of your final homework grade which is 1/5 of your final grade. Chapter 3 was the hardest chapter and when we went to his office to ask for help his response was " I don't teach this method, refer to an outside source." Thanks Kennesaw.

I took him for MGT3200 Fall Semester and received a D in the class. The group project was hard but make sure you get a good group who is willing to meet offsite to go to a manufacturing plant.. It took my group 4 hours and it took me an hour and a half to get there. His tests are HORRIBLE. There are two parts to each exams, concepts and math.

Don't take a class with this professor. You won't pass. His exams don't reflect anything taught. Expect to make 30's on the exams even after studying for hours. By far the worst class I have ever had to take.

THE EXAMS WEIGH 40% OF YOUR GRADE. HE DOES NOT HAVE ANY LECTURE OR LECTURE NOTES. EVERYTHING IS DONE IN CONNECT. THE EXAMS ARE 3 HRS (1HR FOR CONCEPTS & 2 HOURS FOR PROBLEMS)! THE HOMEWORK AND QUIZ EXAMPLES DOES NOT HELP WITH EXAM AT ALL! YOUR TEACHING YOURSELF

DO NOT TAKE HIM online or in clsss! I had operations MGT online with him. He does not give feedback on exams. Homework is extremely difficult. This is the worse professor I've had at KSU.

This class was pretty lame. Lectures dragged on with little real world application. Constant tangents about being in the army. We're a few classes I was pretty offended by the racist jokes. Homework every week and an awful group project. Tests were kinda easy if you're really good at teaching yourself math. Very blah.

Group project is tough, be sure to have a good group. Class is pointless in attending if it wasn't required. I didn't pay attention in class for over a month before last test. Day before the test I sat down and taught myself, ended up teaching 8 others the day of. I got a 100, they all got A's. He overcomplicates. Likes to make himself look smart.

Comment:

He is the worst professor in the world. He is very arrogant and disrespectful. He doesn't teach anything and never helps when you ask for it. He never lets you see the exam papers and always give very poor grades. He never explains the grading and gets very angry if you want to see your exam paper. His exam questions never come from the book.
