Comment:

This guy was weird. He loves his software but it rarely works on macs and when it does, he has no idea how to use it. There is a lot of group work and its usually pretty easy which was nice. I didn't learn a single thing about operations except how to sit on facebook during class. Tests are easy and overall this was not a hard class at all.

Comment:

Nice guy, but terrible professor. Lectures were all boring and contradictory theories - he didn't seem to have any real-world experience of his own to share. Required to write 100+ pages and received zero comments back. Group work was 70% of grade, which I strongly disliked.

Very good professor. He is extremely knowledgeable and really gets students to think for themselves. Tries hard to make class interesting, but doesn't always succeed. A lot of group work, but no tests.

Comment:

DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOKS!!! I'm the type that always buys the required books but these books stayed in my closet the whole semester. Dr. D is a nice guy but the class was kind of worthless. Easy A because he gives tons of extra credit for putting stupid sounds in PPT's. He says attendance is mandatory but quits taking it half way through semester

Dr. D is a great prof that tries very hard to keep his students interested. He gives you an ongoing group project that he makes very simple and straight forward. No quizzes and no tests (unless ur class votes to have one).

Comment:

Dr. Dan was awesome!!! very few assignments but very big on the one project. start journals early and stay on track with the project and you'd do great. got an A, and don't buy the books!!!save money that way, never opened it. lots of info from him but just never really used. Very easy, no exams or quizzes.

Danny Mac is absolutely worthless. Grades on the "WOW" scale, and absolutely destroys the benefit of the management project. You get extra credit for inserting sound effects in PowerPoints, and the benefit of watching him laugh like a moron. WORTHLESS CLASS/PROF!!!

AWFUL!!!! do not take unless you want to do a project with over 170 of nothing and a skills assessment with 50 pages nonesense and a journal that is at least 30 pages of nothing but page fillers. BIG waste of time. Also, he now takes attendence due to no one showing up is his previous classes

Comment:

I actually saw him do this: He was outside McNeely, using an electric nose clipper, which is disturbing enough-- but then he took the clipper out of his nostril and started shaving the back of his hands with it. Yes that actually did happen, and to this day, I'm just not the same person.

THis class is useless drivel and if you take it with this professor even more useless. Unless you really enjoy tons of homework outside of class, sucking up, and kissing butt I wouldn't take Dr D for a teacher.

Comment:

He is easy but you have to write a lot. He doesnt care about content, only length. I doubt he even reads the projects. DONT BUY THE BOOK!!! trust me. I bought it, never opened it, and the bookstore didnt buy it back. Complete waste of money. Lecture is terrible and you dont have to go. I wouldnt take McNamara again.

Comment:

Class is extremely boring. Don't need to buy the books, never use them and you can vote to have NO tests. Huge project/paper isn't as bad as it first sounds if you get a good group. The class is a waste of time..all the stuff needed for the paper is common sense.

Class isn't as hard as people perceive. He's a nice guy with a different approach to teaching, didn't learn that overly much from class, but project taught a lot of personal growth things. Dedicated prof though that wants you to learn.

Comment:

The management project is a ton of work but you really learn a lot. Dr. D's class is boring and to be honest you only learn a moderate amount from the class time. You can tell he tries though. The book is expensive and you don't need it to complete the project. It's really all about the project.

Comment:

Dan is boring and believes way too much in Tom Peters. I did not learn anything from the final project. The main thing we were supposed to do was suggest improvements for our company...which is always easier when choosing a crappy company like those he showed in the case studies.
