Comment:

Worst class I had so far. I do not want to be mean, Love is a nice professor, but it is really difficult to stay awake in his class. It does not help that the exams are graded heavily and are based on memorization. Some say this class is easy, but they either have sharp memorization or an interest in business administration.

Comment:

He's a nice guy and all but this is one of the most boring classes I've ever taken. It was impossible to sit through. Good news is that you just get EC for going, so you technically don't get punished for missing - I recommend you get all EC possible though. The tests are tough so that'll make up for it. Also be prepared to take HOURS of notes.

He is a good guy. He went to Harvard Buisness School. He is very smart and has a lot of real-life examples. BUT. His lectures are extremely boring, however, you get 2 pts extra credit just for showing up. His tests are awful and even if you thought that you did good, you probably didn't. Don't miss a chance of getting all the extra credit points.

I've never taken so many notes in my entire life. My word doc (size 11 font) of notes for ONLY THIS CLASS is 139 pages long. Get ready to spend HOURS taking notes. If you don't do notes and only go off his power point you will not get A's. But pay attention to power points, he puts things in not from textbook. Must go everyday because iClicker.

Nice guy, meh class. All memorization based exams, so if that's not your strength it will be more challenging. Homework takes a lot of time (videos you can't skip through), but you get multiple attempts, so you can get 100% easily. 80 points of extra credit from SONA experiments which can boost you a whole letter grade.

Really easy class. Got B's on every exam but did all the extra credit which brought my overall grade to an A. Don't buy the textbook, just study slides before exams, which are tough. Lectures are incredibly boring but he gives extra credit for IClicker participation.

Don't slack off, do the extra credit, and study the powerpoints. Not a blow off class, but slip on one of the exams and you'll be out the A. Lecture material videos are so tacky it drives you insane. Needs updating on modern applications of the material.

Great guy, easy class. The majority of the grade is based on the 3 exams but all you need to do is just go over his powerpoints and find or make your own quizlet flashcards. Going to class is not mandatory but its a lot of extra credit. Easy A.

Lectures are super boring and no past exams are given. Homework has no deep connection to exams. A lot of extra credits. Personally, not a fan of him.

Comment:

Love is a nice guy but he's super boring. I fell asleep in most lectures but you should still go to get the clicker points. Read the book before the exams. The material is super basic and mainly common sense but you have to know the terms he's looking for.

Comment:

Lecture is pretty boring but you can get extra credit by showing up and doing the i-clickers. Make sure you read the textbook before exams, it will really help you out. He uses scenarios and hypothetical situations as most of the exam questions so you have to know how to apply the terms/topics and not just definitions.

Comment:

Attendance is mandatory because you get iclicker points. Everything in this class is easy, but the exams are difficult. The actual material is not difficult. However, there are too many powerpoint slides and hundreds of definitions to memorize for each exam. Love is a great professor, and he is very kind. You'll love him!

All I can remember about Prof. Love is his pink shirts!!!! And the fact that his class is interesting with the relevant movie clips and iClicker questions kept me focused.

Basically, if you memorize all his slides you will get A's on his exams. Unfortunately, this is sometimes lots of material for one to digest easily in a short time span. Other than that, there is lots of opportunity for extra credit (can boost your grade by around 5% total) and it's very manageable to get at least a B in this class.

Comment:

The class is boring! Tests are harder than I expected especially the third one. Read the book is a must. He likes to test on details. Though he said we do not have to remember the examples in the book, some questions are from those. Would be helpful if he can tell us what will be in the test.

Comment:

The material is very dry so its difficult to pay attention. You have to go to class in order to get attendance points with the iclicker. Good guy but he needs to give some hints as to whats on the exam. He emphasizes the slides but still no direction. It' d be nice if he said what to focus on. Its alot of material to cover when youre studying

Comment:

The class is misleadingly easy, and the tests seem misleadingly easy until you get your grades back and find out you didn't do well. Basically just tells you to study everything for exams and makes the lectures as boring as they could possibly be. I dread going to class and have no motivation to try in it.
