Comment:

Prof Walmer was pretty good as far as this class goes. He took the time to explain what the content meant to us and how it applies outside the classroom. Leaned more towards business analysis with the data side of class. Enjoyed his knowledge but the homework and exam problems were poorly written with mistakes by the department. Need to know Excel!

Comment:

He started class with each chapter was a 10 week course for him at Drexel and was now a 50 minute class so preparation was key to passing this section of MSOM. I used his office hours repeatedly and he helped me get an A- in his class. I wasn't any good at Excel and he helped me learn. His in class sections I've heard from friends are awesome.

Most of the students around me cheated through this class by having the exam early from online. This school needs to wake up to its cheating problem.

Comment:

He was okay overall but struggled with the new format and setting up excel formulas on the fly. I've heard this is the third time they've changed the format of this class so it does suck to be him. I'm not sure about the slide comments since he did lecture the first half of the class and reference the slides but only because students don't read.

Comment:

Had quite a different experience . Felt handicapped by lack of preparation. In class he'd read slides & then go through HW but wouldn't be able to solve the hw. We spent class watching him do problems incorrectly. it was confusing. Because of this, class went least .5-1hr over. Also, didn't set up canvas AT ALL or record one lecture.

Comment:

He was pretty good this Summer II. Lots of real world material during lecture and cool assembly line videos to show automation. Makes you think about what's impossible and how to make it manageable. Laid back, cool dude, but he does make an example of some who don't pay attention or pull their weight.

Comment:

Mr. Walmer was great to me Summer I. He stayed after class to help me through my excelom struggles and did a good job in describing the results table. One thing I really liked is when he would review the results table and what it means when doing a comparison so your answer made sense. This helped making & comparing to his real world examples.

Jon does a great job of teaching and I wish more professors got deeper into the topics. He goes into examples that help us visualize how each chapter - as he says will relate to us even though it's not our job or major. This is a major help in carrying this class forward as he requests us to do.

Jon Walmer deals with operations management on a daily basis as it is his primary work profession. Walmer really tries to explain everything in depth with real life scenarios. All you need to be able to do is the Excel OM application. thats the entire test and homeworks. If you can do the excel OM problems from HW with help from his files you good

This professor takes the initiative to understand what a student is going thorough. He was able to work around the personal problems i faced this semester and gave me an opportunity to succeed. Beyond from his caring nature, he is on top of his material. All files and material are readily available and very convenient.

Comment:

Jon is one of the rare professors at Fox who genuinely cares about his students and is excited about teaching the course. Jon's sense of humor and ability to effortlessly to weave his life/work experience into his lessons helped keep students engaged in what would otherwise be a dull, monotonous lecture. HW is mandatory but he reviews in class :)

Week 2 and I want to transfer out but can't. Why are you going over so much material about each chapter if we only get graded on problems. Teach me the ExcelOM problems and let us out. There's no reason to teach us the material if it's not graded and no one cares.

Jon is a pretty cool guy. ExcelOM is a big part of the course. It takes time getting used to but it's easy for the most part. 2 exams that are 14 problems each and worth 70% of your grade, 20% is weekly homework, and 10% for 4 quizzes. Fairly simple class. Show up, pay attention to example problems, do the homework, and you'll pass.

Comment:

Hard to see at times, but he really does care about his students; why else would he be teaching a 6:30 night class after working full time all day? Sad to see that most students don't reciprocate that feeling of care. He makes the class as easy as he can for you, but he is not going to give any handouts.

Comment:

This class makes no sense to me as everything that he talks about and wants us to learn, isn't even covered in the exam. The exam is all problems from the assignments which are on line so why even hold lecture. No one cares about what you have done and all of your examples. You're so smart but you can't tell that no one is paying attention.

Just wrapped up six weeks of what I though was going to be awful and it turned out great. He applied every topic to a vast example list of real world from both himself and involving the class. The explanation of the answers from the ExcelOM were very good and he made them applicable to real world and how they should be utilized as a KPI with some

Comment:

He's pretty cool but these 80 minute exams blow, especially with no extra credit. Are we here to learn software to take an exam or are we here to increase our knowledge. He talks a good game though and has lots of experience but we spend way to much time on ExcelOM because nobody wants to learn it to be prepared for class which annoys me.
