Comment:
His lectures barely cover any solid materials, often he would just make us perform "activities" for his personal entertainment (that included singing and dancing). Having spent a long time in the tech industry, I can tell you that he doesn't know anything about Information Systems, Business or Technology. An extremely racist and egotistical person.

So full of himself. Projects were good in building soft skills but taught you zero hard skills or quantitative methods for solving business problems.

Would take any and all criticism incredibly personal and would argue with students in class to make his point. Never lectured, but assigned unclear group projects throughout the semester. His tests were incredibly easy because of this lack of actual instruction. Learned nothing but did boost my GPA.

One of the better management professors at RPI. He really knows his stuff and challenges you to better yourself. I'd recommend taking any class with him. Plus he assigned a project that was a HUGE resume booster.

Many students did not like for the reasons I liked him, actually. He brought us down to Downtown Troy and had us consult with local business owners utilizing the quantitative models we learned in class. He did not lecture that much which was fine with me. He is a practitioner and brings his experience to the classroom. One of my favorite at RPI.

Comment:
Taking his MSA 640 at Central Michigan University - He must be different guy than these previous comments - found his examples in class as good practical personal experiences that gelled with lessons for practical learning. I think previous raters on here were a little less apt for learning the real lessons he is teaching. Very good professor.

This professor is very easy but completely full of himself. His homework assignments are all about his previous experiences and how he single handedly saved the military millions of dollars or his uncle's business etc... Also unless you are a woman, he won't usualy give you much attention.

A wonderful professor who thinks outside the normal curriculum box. Focuses on challenging projects, tests are easy. Turns boring math into real life scenarios which are both practical and interesting. Take a course with this professor if you like to think outside the box!

One of the coolest and most practical teachers I've had here at RPI. More time outside of class is required to do better on tests, but it's not impossible. Will go the extra mile for you. You'll actually find out what IT is about in this class. ;)

Spends most of class time talking about himself, and when he was in the army. Doesn't really teach any of the course material, which makes it hard to study for tests. Has a way of making you feel stupid if you don't know the answer to his questions.

Very Interesting, gives great real life applications and example of classroom material, harder to study for tests (since he was not course coordinator). Great if you're looking to get more out of a class than just an A or B.
