Loved the guy. Taking him again in the fall for another MGMT class. Grades won't come easy, but put in a good effort and you'll get an A- or A.

Comment:

He seemed unprepared. His lectures were confusing and unorganized. On the other hand, he constantly reopened online quizzes assessments for "students who slacked off." The tests are hard. The test is not like the quizzes but he usually gave the entire class points on the test for questions that were missed by a majority of the class.

Mr. Bestoso is a cool guy and pretty dang funny too. But if you are serious about learning management, I would take someone else. If you are looking for a fairly easy class with a somewhat goofyflusteredunprepared professor, take him.

Bestoso's class was super boring. He didnt teach anything useful in the class and his tests were all about the textbook. If i were you i would not take this class. I should have dropped this class.

Took as a summer class. It was a bit boring at times, but what class isn't? It was an elective for me, but it was better than I expected. I thought that it would be easier than it was. Didn't really feel like I was prepared for tests despite my best efforts. He seems like a cool guy though. I would reccomend him. I got a B though so whatever!

Took this as a summer class. Did nothing with the book for normal class. Tests were 100% based on the book, which I did not buy/read. Tests were very high percentage of final grade. Buy the book or share one with a friend.

Comment:

Exams are hard and directly from the text. So the text is REQUIRED. As long as you study the text and his powerpoints, you will be fine. A tough class, but will end up with learning something new.

Comment:

You have to read the book. If you don't the tests are impossible. He really doesn't like to teach so I think this class was a waste and the tests were hard. Make sure you get a good group for the project or that sucks too.

Comment:

His lectures basically mean nothing, all you can do to pass his tests are read the book. I wouldn't even bother going to class unless you're having a quiz. Funny guy and all but his teaching isn't very good. His grading of the paper you write is rediculous as well, don't expect an A on it at all

You need the text for this class. Read each chapter. Online page for the text helps as well. Print off the powerpoint slides because he uses those to teach with but doesn't actually tell you that. You won't have to write as many notes if you have the slides. Exams are not easy...you have to study. Do the topic reports..helps your grade!

Comment:

This class was a lot of fun. I enjoyed the lectures that he gave. Some people thought he was hard to follow, but if you just listen to him you will do fine. I didn't take notes, I just payed attention and read the book. I got an A in the class, and enjoyed every second.

Comment:

He is really cool, and funny, and I like him alot, and class is fun, but he is super hard to follow in lecture, you MUST open your book while taking notes to know what the heck he is talking about, tests are hard, I feel like I self taught myself in this class, study the BOOK hard!

Doesn't have any structure to his classes. Great personality, very funny too. But I didn't retain any information from his class. The tests are terrible because he doesn't even cover what is on them.

Seems like the class will be a breeze, but tests are hard. Make sure you read the book and go over the notes. Do well on your topic reports and that can help your grade! Fun guy though. . . . likes to swear.

Comment:

Class ends up being a lot harder than expected. Tests can sometimes be tricky, so make sure you pay close attention in class and follow along with the current chapters being covered. Make sure you really nail the 3 assigned papers, because they will support your test grades tremendously!
