Comment:

Quizzes are ridiculously easy, MC/TF/short answer. Assigns 2 papers which are marked very generously (i.e. high avg) but I disliked the ambiguous guidelines for them. He is a charismatic guy with a lot of industry exp and uses it to help you understand the material. Often puts up his own money as prizes for in-class activities.

Comment:

Mark's a good lecturer but I think the OB material is completely useless and I didn't attend the majority of lectures since the quizzes (midterms) were 90% based on text and 10% on in class videos. Average is really high, expect to need about 90+ for an A.

Comment:

quizzes, papers were relatively easy. the problem with that is that the class average is so high that after scaling, your good marks don't acutally translate to good letter grades. lectures are interesting, but you can just as easily do without the lectures by reading the textbook alone.

Finally a prof who doesn't just regurgitate the textbook! Mark is a fantastic prof who draws on all sorts of disciplines to give students a better understanding of org theory and why it's important. Easy quizzes, relevant assignment, and fun final (or as close to fun as is possible)! Thanks for everything Mark!

Super easy quiz, but gotta remember stuff well. Interesting lecture and he's a nice guy. Essays and exam questions are not hard as long as you support your answers well. Easy course and easy marks.
