I dont know who all of you smarty pants think you are, but prof. merchant is absolutely the best prof. in the world. Just because he's strict doesnt mean he's arrogant and rude. Shame on you guys. Being strict means HELPING YOU NOT FAIL COLLEGE.

Comment:

hated him so much. Participation worth alot yet his standard is arbituary. Not only had to participate, but also you have to say something that suits his taste. If you aren't a good at shoe shining, AVOID HIM AT ALL COST

Comment:

Get off your soapbox. If you want to score participation marks with this prof, then you better start sucking up and hanging around after class to be his friend. Doesn't respect and accept other perspectives. Unbelievable for a prof who seems to have absolutely no field experience and is probably one of the laziest profs.

Great prof. He was a bit intimidating at first, but he's a good guy. Very strong knowledge on joint ventures and IB in general.

Learn a lot about the micro stuff in international business (eg. who a decision affects and how it affects them, what are the factors considered). Participation marks are arbituary.

Comment:

Absolute nightmare. He will pretend to be personable but if doesn't like you, he will you pay with your final mark. He holds his grudges and is unwavered in his convictions, so don't think that there is any process of appeal for his grading. There isn't.

Very good professor, had him spring 2004 and enjoyed his sense of humor and teaching style. Marking not so hard (unless you're a slacker or an idiot) but make sure you show up to class!

Comment:

Very difficult person to deal with. Rules are rigid and inflexible, and extremely punitive and onerous penalties for lateness or absences, even with valid excuse. Does not make exceptions, you're either on his good side or bad side, take your pick.

Comment:

Marks way too easy so there's no reliable way to get a good mark - and even if you do reasonably well you might get a C because you came in 1% below the average. No makeups on assts or quizzes, even with medical documentation!

Whatever you do, don't take a class with this guy... The chances of him sc*&wing you over are greater than other professors. I recommend Lazarova for BUS 346
