Comment:

This class was my major. (int. bus)and boy did this teacher make we want to switch that up. Don't bother coming to class, do everysingle one of those tidbits (weekly assignments) and read the book. All test questions are out of the book and are ridiculously specific. CHEAT. he is usually asleep while class is taking tests. CHEAT. CHEAT. CHEAT.

This guy is one of the nicess professor I have ever had. He is very knowledgeable about the subject. However I had hard time doing well in the exams because I do not have much knowledge about the subject matter. Overall he is great professor.

Comment:

He curves downwards with all of his classes together. There are a lot of unhappy students who are arguing against this right now because their grade was lowered. I highly advise you to stay away from this horrible professor...

Comment:

WOW this class is boring...He lectures in a monotonous tone for 2.5 hours and doesn't engage the students. The projects are a joke and his tests are completely void of anything he teaches in class. It was all from the book and all questions are based on the smallest of details that you need to comb through the text to find. He should retire...

Comment:

Mr. Fishel (Chuck) is a friendly and easy-going guy. He preaches the need to be able to work through ambiguity, and thus,teaches his class with such. For those who need to be told what to do (sheeple), might not be for you. For people who don't, it's an easy A if you do well on the projects. Lots of real world business experience. Class is curved.

Comment:

He is vague purposely. Some lectures help for tests, some are useless. I got a good group for both projects & our group leader took fishel before so she knew what to expect which helped me out a lot. I didnt really use the text to study. Slides are probably the best thing to use. Just do all tidbits and get a C on tests you should pass with a B.

Comment:

Fishel is a boring professor. I credit him for teaching us some real life experiences he had. However, what he taught in class are totally not related to what the midterm/ final will be about. To do well in the class....Read your textbook... ignore lecture...

Comment:

Dr. Fishel teaches in a way that makes you think how to apply techniques in real-life situations. Buy the book and read every chapter to do well in all exams. He stresses that negotiation is essential. His projects have few directions since he wants you to explores all possibilities that would be take in the real business world. He rocks!

Comment:

I didnt learn anything in his class and I still got a B+.He only does 1 midterm with 9 chapters and 1 comprehensive final. He was absent about 5 times even though we only had once a week class.He likes to bring speakers to the class because he is lazy!He also lost my assignments many times, you need to be on top of his excel grading sheet

Comment:

Chuck's class gives lots of autonomy but your success will depend on whether you know what to do with it. Negotation is his fave lesson - hint: approach him and negotiate for your points. Yes, assignments are vague - as are the challenges a business graduate is likely to face. If detailed instructions for life are required, don't take Chuck. <B6>

Comment:

He's extremely unclear on HW, midterm, final, and all projects. It's impossible to study for his exam. I didn't even bring any cheat sheet to the exam but ended up with B+. The weekly quiz is a joke, so do the exams. Overall he's ok but it'd be better to take other teachers. Prepare to be very frustrated if you want good grade in this class.

Comment:

I've had some bad professors in my time, but this one takes top prize. He's vague and unorganized. He tells you he wants all assignment turned in online, but then loses them. 3 assignments I had to submit 3 times before receiving credit. If you want a good grade in 187, don't take him!

Comment:

I actually liked the fact that he was somewhat unclear in his assignments. It allowed for creativity and collaboration amongst teammembers. I learned a lot and was well worth my time in class and working on the project. I could have studied harder for midterm and final.

Comment:

He has a very laissez-faire teaching style. You are always asking "WHAT DOES HE WANT US TO DO" Don't over analyze, just put the time into the project and pick a good group. Exams are curved and it is practically impossible study for them. if you understand the general idea, You will be fine. I failed the midterm and final and still got an A- .

Comment:

Prof Fishel is the nicest guy. He has a very laissez-faire teaching style. And though you are always asking yourself "WHAT DOES HE WANT US TO DO OR WHAT DOES HE WANT US TO STUDY". I think that is his whole point. Don't over analyze the class, just put the time into the project and pick a good group. Exams are curved and it is practically impossible

Comment:

Don't make the negotiation harder than it is, turn in every tidbit, and do moderately well on the tests. That is the secret to success in this class. I'm not sure I learned anything in this class, but I received a B+ anyway. He is vague and seemingly unorganized, but he is always willing to analyze and alter his mistakes on the grade sheet.
