Comment:

Segovis cares about his students learning and is available to be reached outside the class almost always. That being said MGT200 is supposed to be run exactly the same across all sections and Segovis pretty much does whatever he wants. Very persistent.

Segovis is very knowledgeable and you can learn a lot from him, but he is a tough professor. He can be boring at times but pay attention in class if you want to do well.

If you actually want to learn-amazing professor! Definitely a hard class and a lot of work but completely worth it. Love Segovis and would take him again in a heartbeat. Hard to get above a B though

Comment:

His teaching styles aren't the best, but I really liked his negotiation class. Very tough grader. Some of us are still wondering why we got a bad grade. Makes you read a lot. Too many memos. Be prepared to slog if you plan to take his class. I don't think we had a great experience as such with this class. Very stressful.

Comment:

Individual work accounts for only 10 % of grade, yet he gives about 10 memos to write (which he never grades on time). 1 memo 1 pt on the total. He emphasizes too much on team work, but don't take your problems to him, claims to be approachable but isn't. Poor conflict resolution skills, makes more trouble for you for having approached him B-

Comment:

Professor Segovis has an arbitrary grading system. He gives you loads of work in the name of rigor but doesn't even care to grade them, he actually grades assignments three weeks after the semester ends. He is extremely intimidating and authoritative. He is nothing but an unscrupulous, unaccommodating and uncouth professor at the University.

Comment:

If you are a woman, have an extremely high GPA or in the honors program you should be fine. Those of you with a 2.0-3.4 beware because taking this class will not help your GPA. I have completed 50-60 papers in my college career and all have been above 85 with most above 88. Extremely random grader and I never once received anything close to an A-.

He is a dry lecturer but you do learn quite a bit. Expect to read a lot and do lots of concept maps. Lots of busy work that doesnt really seem necessary.

Get to know this professor. He knows more about this topic than many other management professors and has a lot to offer to the field and to your general knowledge. It's a tough class, but if you put in the work, the rewards are worth it. Do the work, prepare for the class and PARTICIPATE, and you'll be fine.

Segovis is one of those professors who you can't stand at times while you're going through the process, but ultimately you realize that he's an extremely intelligent guy and you are learning so much. a great professor and ultimate professional. Do your work, reading, and PARTICIPATE and you will do fine.

Segovis is an amazing professor who will truly care about your success. Do the readings, tie in the readings to your work, participate and you will do well. Yes it is hard but this is college and you're here to LEARN! For seniors, he took us all out to Rentes at the end of the year! He's really a good guy and will work with you if you talk to him.

No gender bias noted. Hard, Hard work. Lots of reading (expect 3-4 hrs prior to each class), Hard projects and 3 classes worth of time dedication. Otherwise, quite rewarding, fair grading and dynamic classes with ingenious methods that keep students awake.

Awesome professor. I had him for a negotiations course. Disregard that claims he has any gender bias. He is tough and you will do a lot of reading. If you don't give him any crap and work hard you'll learn a lot. I can't speak for any of the other courses but the negotiations course was done well and has some serious real world application.

Comment:

Not the worst professor out there, but I hate his class. He is somewhat annoying also (especially at 9 AM). Attendance is mandatory, project is worthless and a huge waste of time. Sometimes lectures are informative though. I was somewhat interested in management before this class but will make an effort to avoid it now.

Jimmmy Segovs is the best. He is by far one of the chillest teachers ever. His tests are hard and you have to do work but oh well its college. He makes class fun and talks about drinking all the time. If you want to learn and are gonna try and still want to have fun in the mean time, take Segovis.
