Comment:

Prof Katz was a nice guy, but not a good professor. He never tells you how he will grade and assigned a final that was over 15 pages of writing on top of other presentations. Didn't cover most of the material we were expected to read. Cancelled about half of our class times, which was nice, but meant I didn't learn anything.

I enjoyed his class, his lectures are funny and interesting. However, how you are graded is really vague and you won't know until the end, which was a take home test that was basically like writing 5 papers. Other than that he was great.

TECE6340 was one of many classes that I have taken with Prof Katz. He's an amazing professor with 43+ years of experience. His teaching style and relevant story-telling made every 4hr class a pleasurable experience! He keeps the class engaged & encourages dialogue. Light workload, very valuable learning. Prof Katz is the best professor at NEU!!!

Took Prof. Katz's courses twice (required courses) from 2014 -2015, I used to think that I just learned many stories from his classes. But with the time goes, I realized how useful and important that the ideas involved in his stories for my study, work, and life. Thus, I want to say:" A great Professor makes you learn without overloading you! "

If you want an easy class, take this one. You don't need to do any of the readings, and the course is him telling stories and more stories. If that is what you like, take the class. If you want to learn something, take a different section.

Comment:

He is one of the best story tellers. You learn something new in his class every day. However, he can go off on tangents from time to time. He's entertaining and you can get a lot of his class. Also, his class was pretty easy. He always said "You cant test this stuff, you either use it or you don't."

Prof Katz was great at making concepts understandable and memorable. Now everyone walks around quoting him and talking about things we discussed there. He likes potty humor, so be prepared.

Comment:

Told some interesting stories, class was not difficult at all. However, the overall work could have been done in a third of the semester. There wasn't much substance to this class. If you want an easy grade, take it, if you want to learn something, it's a waste of time and money

Comment:

Professor Katz is a really good MIT-trained professor who captures the classes attention. I've had the benefit of a comparison with a BU professor of OB and Katz is definitely superior in every way. His course book 'The human side of managing technological innovations' is very readable, using a variety of examples from different industries.

Good professor. Only had a paper due at the end of the class. Wasn't too concerned with the logistics of the paper. Tells lots of stories in class. Interesting.
