Comment:

Prof Zaremba is one of the best teachers i've had at NEU. I would look forward to his class everyday, it was super interactive with a lot of discussion (if you want to participate that is). The guy is hilarious and knows what he is talking about, tons of enthusiasm. He is super helpful and specific on what is going to be on each of his tests.

Comment:

you have to be there participate an do the work, but he is clear about his expectations- he sends out an agenda for the next class before you have it so that you know exactly what you need to do. He really knows his stuff- as long as you are engaged and do your work you will do well and enjoy this class

Zaremba is a great teacher. He knows everything about the subject matter(after all, he wrote the book) and does everything he can to be sure that we understand it. The class isn't exactly difficult, but you do need to keep up with your work.

Greatest teacher I've ever had. Be ready to work hard and throw yourself into the class, but you will get so much out of it! His class was an amazing experience.

He is the man. Only class I could ever pay attention in, and that says a lot considering it was org comm. Always willing to help out. If you can take one of his classes, do it.

One of the best professors I've ever had. He literally wrote the book on Organizational Communications and Crisis Communications. You are cheating yourself if you take at least one of his classes.

Comment:

Zaremba is by far one of the best profs I've had in the 3 years I've been here. He isn't easy (some big projects, writing-intensive exams) but he makes things managable if you go to class, he explains everything very well and correlates with the book perfectly since he wrote it. I hope I can take another class with him before I graduate!

Comment:

Fabulous professor, one of the best at Northeastern. Wrote the book, so if you don't know it it's rather hard to argue your way through the material in terms of being right. For a subject matter that I didn't even know was something people studied, he did an amazing job with clarifying the material in all accounts. TAKE HIM.

Zaremba has to be one of the best professors at NU. Any opportunity you have to take a course with him you should. You learn so much and he is so interesting to listen to. You will a lot but you won't mind it.

I had him for org com and advanced and he has been one of my top 2 fav teachers. The class isnt super easy, but he teaches the materail so well that you walk away understanding. Theteests are essay and elabotrate but as long as you show up and do your work youll do fine.

I had him for Principles of Org. Comm. and he knows his stuff! (he wrote the textbook!) Very hard tests, but if you go to class and keep up with the reading, it makes them more managable.
