Prof O'Brien is awesome! Just follow the directions she gives and you will do fine. You can only miss 3 days or you will get dropped, but she is super nice. Play along with her sarcasm and the fact that she hates cats!

If any of you ho wrote an opinion about John check back, or anyone else sees this, you should know that John killed himself in March of 2007. I was a friend of John's who lost touch with him in the later years. He was very troubled all his life. You should know he wanted to be a good teacher but what you saw was the best he could do.

One of the best teachers I've ever had, he really knows his stuff and wants you to so well. If there is a mistake in the book he will always point it out and let you. I wish I can take his class again.

Before criticizing a man with a PHD, at least learn how to write. Professor O’Brien is a great teacher. Out of all teachers, he’s the one that has expanded my real world expectations the most. It’s not an easy class to fail, but you must read the book. Also ask him for the Power Point presentations and those will help you out too. And for you th

Comment:

He's truly a cool gentleman and he knows what hes talking about. In class he basically lectures about real life business situations. He gets very off topic at times, and may take up the whole class. He gives x-credit, and its hard to fail. Read the Ch. and you'll pass his tests. Conclusion: Easy A

I loved you J. O'B. but you dont teach anything. We should have just taken the class golfing. He is really smart but hates to teach kids. He is leaving though. John i hope to run into you in the future. i just hope its not in a class room. plus i think he does alot of drugs

This teacher is the worst teacher I have ever had in my ENTIRE LIFE! He dosnt ever talk about anything that has to do with class. He is easily sidtrached and makes no sence. He dosnt believe in the book so he teaches his own knowlegs, so u fail when it comes to the test.

O'Brian is the funniest, nicest teacher. if you can argure why you chose a diff answer on a test, he'll give you the point. very fair, and assignments are easy. not super-clear, but understandable. if you study, you'll do great. you do, however, need the book

Comment:

Not the teacher for everyone, but he is amazing for others. I'm always really excited to go to class because you don't know what's going to happen. I actually like his side stories because they are relevant to the material, an "added value" as he puts it. I want more classes from him.

HORRIBLE TEACHER! He doesn't know how to teach at all! Tells too many stories. The only way you will pass the class is to read the book, word for word pretty much b/c he doesn't know how to teach. If your interested and want to learn more about business don't take him!!
