Comment:

Very specific pop quizzes that come from parts in his lectures and from random little nuanced sections in the book that you would not think matter. Attendance is not mandatory, but you know, pop quizzes. Test are not too bad, *SAVE ALL OF YOUR QUIZZES*, to study from. Do not take his class if you cant learn from reading the txt book!

Comment:

Lectures are tedious, but he provides good information that will be the quizzes. His pop quizzes are difficult- you really must read the textbook. Besides coming to class for the quizzes the textbook could teach you everything if you memorize definitions. Not a hard class, just have to put a little work in

Comment:

Makes what should be a fairly easy class much more difficult than it should be. Gives random pop quizzes so you always need to be prepared for those and his tests are extremely difficult if you haven't basically memorized the terms in the text book and taken really thorough notes. Wouldn't advise taking this class with Meglino unless you have to.

Comment:

Doesn't take attendance but you HAVE to go to class. 8 pop up quizzes that are HARD. Must study for all tests!!! 3 tests including a cumulative final. Seriously makes the easiest class into the hardest class. Take someone else if you can. Or just study a lot. He doesn't put power points on blackboard so take good notes.

He never helped anytime I asked a question all he helped was stating the definition over

He really isn't that difficult of a teacher, it's just a big boring lecture class and all tests/quizzes are based off textbook and lecture notes. You will definitely need the textbook

Comment:

His whole class is centered around two things. The textbook and his lectures. Make sure you read the chapters before class and take notes on them. He has pop quizzes; 2 before the first test, 3 before the second test, and 3 before the last test. The quizzes can be oddly worded sometimes, but he ultimately drops 3 of them. Tests aren't too hard.

Comment:

Wastes valuable class time with dumb jokes. With the difficulty of his exams it makes you wish he would be going over material instead. Make sure you read all charts, captions under pictures, etc. he puts them on his exams. If you want a good grade plan on memorizing class notes and book word for word. Likes to word things oddly on exams & quizzes.

Comment:

Meglino makes this class so much harder than it has to be. Quizzes are difficult and are weighted heavily, so if you do bad on the quizzes you're pretty much screwed. Also his exams are insane. There is almost a never clear answer choice. I had to work my butt off just to get a C. Total GPA killer. Outta touch with his students.

Easily put - take this class with a different professor if you can. Such a boring class and his tests/quizzes are much more difficult than they should be.

Not really hard but his pop quizzes are torture, it is kind of a guessing game and ugh. He will switch up the language and it's annoying. I wish I had taken a different professor

Comment:

The class is quite boring and it is often a guessing game when you will take the pop quizzes. I learned that you must read the book to do well on the quizzes and they are 25% of your grade so don't blow it off. A lot of test questions from the quiz. If you take notes and read the book he's not bad, just boring.

Comment:

Exams and quizzes were way too difficult and he doesn't do nearly enough to prepare you for them. Lectures very dry and boring. You basically have to study the book and teach yourself everything to even have a shot at an A. He's inconsiderate and way out of touch with his students.

If you want an easy A don't take this guy b/c you will have to work. If you want to learn important stuff you will need in management take the course from him. He knows the stuffand has tons of experience. He's easy to understand.

Comment:

Mr. Meglino does not require you to go to class but it is encouraged because he gives 8 pop quizzes throughout the semester which make up 25% of your grade. There are also 3 exams which are half book and half lecture. I would recommend taking his class because his lectures are interesting, but if you are not a textbook learner take someone else.

Comment:

Do not take this class if you're LAZY! I slacked off most of the semester and only read gray sections in textbook. Ended the semester with a B. For the most part quizzes and exams are straight forward. He drops 3 lowest quiz grades. Quizzes are extremely helpful on exams!!

This class is very straight forward. quizzes come straight from lecture or the book. IF you read you will succeed but apparently that is too much to ask from a majority of these reviewers

Comment:

Wouldn't recommend. Assumed the course would be pretty straightforward but he makes his tests and quizzes much more difficult than they should be. Learning all of the terms in the book is a must if you want to do well on the tests. He rambles a lot during lectures, but quizzes count as much as an exam so it's essential that you show up for those.

Comment:

The most boring lecture class I have ever taken. I thought this class would be super easy so I bombed first test. Test and quizes are kind of tough. You have to learn the notes from lecture and stuff out of the book. 3 Tests, 8 quizes. Tries to be funny, but its not really. Toughier than you expect.

Comment:

If you read and take book notes as assigned you will be fine in this class. Always attend although it's boring so you don't miss a pop quiz. The quizzes and the tests are about even but if you use flashcards to study you can definitely ace it. He offers one extra credit. All in all it's a a boring class but he really know what he's talking about.
