Simply put, he's ?crazy like a fox.? Many have complained about his style of lecturing; yet, I found his classes extremely entertaining and full with surprises. His lectures are full with unexpected twists and turns regarding to the way you look at the world of business.

Comment:

While I hesitate to use the word Genius Dr. King has a mind that is tailor made for thinking about systems. He's going a thousand miles per hour running of on tangents... as hes fond of saying he is crazy like a fox. Fact is you have to learn his language, once you pick it up he WILL give you a new way of thinking about systems.

Comment:

This guy is why everyone laughs at you business majors. Every lecture consisted of either the "squid from the sea", "Who's coming to dinner", or "Connect the dots" or Johnsville Foods, or Maldin Mills example, mixed in with some random overheads from a "big name" business guy like Drucker. Attend class, you'll have at least a 95%.

Comment:

After you take BA350 at OSU with King, you will honestly question why they let some profs teach. The guy is completely nuts. His lectures are a combination of random stories and his review of books. He can make some good points at times, but for two hours twice a week you will lose your mind. VERY EASY A IF YOU GO TO CLASS!

Fun class!!! One of the only teachers I remember from when I went to school. Very different, but actually gets you to think for yourself instead of having someone else do it for you.

Comment:

This was an amazing class. Even though I was confused through the class I approached it with an open mind. The things that were taught in the class are not concrete and technical but is extremely essential for any business student. He really does have students' best interests in mind and want them to succeed in the classroom and the "real world".

Comment:

He jumps around a lot... so prepare before class and enjoy the "ah ha" moments. This is not a class to stress about but to be excited about. A little more structure would help those of us who are in shock (confused) the first couple of weeks.

I loved this class! King is a great teacher and his colleagues should take notes from him. Don't be worried if you can't see where he is going at first. If you are smart you will just listen and try to understand.

A really nice guy (as a person) but class concepts were all over the place. He was VERY disorganized and just liked to talk a lot about himself.

The material covered in King's classes changed the way I think about business. I really enjoyed his classes and learned a great deal. Take his classes if you can, they're some of the best in the COB.
