Comment:

You can definitely get an A in this class if you put in the effort. Don't take the exams lightly. Study from the slides/notes and you should be good. Make sure to participate in class (you could get extra points). Overall, he does give a lot of extra credit, so that helps a lot. The quizzes, HW, and group project are not too bad.

Comment:

He's an okay professor. He's nice and definitely knows his stuff, but the content can get dry especially if you're not a global business major. I found his tests to be very difficult (he uses HonorLock too). He does give extra credit though, and that's what saved my grade. You definitely have to study and put in effort if you want to pass the exams

If you want to have the opportunity to gain actual experience and get involved in international opportunities, this is the professor for you. Ask him about project initiatives and what you can do currently as a student. Class-wise, the exams were easy as long as you go over the slides/book. Group project, paper, pretty easy overall.

Comment:

To be fair, this was an online class for COVID. That said, he barely taught the material. Half of each class MINIMUM was spent going over case studies we aren't tested or graded on, so we only got through about half the real material. Plus, we don't get feedback on homework or quizzes, so if you miss stuff you're on your own guessing what happened.

Comment:

I wasn't a fan of his class as his lectures are irrelevant and do not prepare you for the exam. He doesn't cover the material in class so you have go to home and teach yourself 50+ slides per chapter to pass. Difficult class and he can be a tough grader. Nice professor but I felt ill-equipped for the exams. Take someone else if you can.

Overall a nice dude & his class is not bad as the reviews make him seem. He gives you opportunities for extra credit, the syllabus is pretty clear & the TA responds quickly. 2 HWs, 2 Quizzes, 2 Tests and a Group Project. Just make sure to stay on top of your stuff bc the lectures are boring so its self study for tests (reccomend reading the book).

Not as bad of a prof. as previous reviews are making him out to be. Lectures are boring but the syllabus is laid out well and you know when the due dates will be. Not many assignments either. 2 HWs, 2 Quizzes, 2 Tests, and a Group Project & Presentation. Decent class. Easy to pass with a solid grade.

Everthing negative said about this man is an understatment. An example of this mans shenanigans is he makes you read 24 page analysis on currency devaluation for an attendace assignment.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE. His lectures are extremely hard to focus in, and he is completely unreasonable. We have two essays due on the day of our exam and were just recently told the prompts with little notice. He also decided to make the extra credit due the same day as the exam and essay- while saying he "doesn't want to put too much pressure on us".

Comment:

He makes everything unnecessarily difficult. He cares more about attendance than actually teaching the class in a way that is interesting. He makes essays due the day of the exam- which was not even included in the syllabus, meaning he told us the prompts for the essays a few days before. So in addition to studying you also have to write essays.

Comment:

I do not recommend taking Professor Woldu. He goes on tangents during his lectures making it hard to focus in class. In addition, he grades unreasonably- when the class had more students signed in than present, he stated that he would be stricter next time this happens and that he will deduct a point from everyone's grade.

Comment:

He's definitely an interesting and cultured person, but the lectures were the complete opposite and kind of directionless. Attendance is a part of your grade, you get a group project, 2 multiple choice exams (midterm and final), 2 homeworks (1 is an essay), and another essay that's 30% of your final exam grade. Not horrible but take someone else.

Comment:

He spent most of his time lecturing on his personal life rather than course content. A week before the final he decided to change the syllabus and give us an essay that was 30% of our final. He is a terrible professor. Easy class but take anyone else. He does not need to be teaching anymore.

Comment:

I enjoyed this class thoroughly. It was interesting to read about management in other countries and ways to lessen the cross cultural divide between nations. The grading criteria was clear and as long as you keep up with the work and offer good insight in the discussions, you will be fine. I would recommend taking this course with this professor.

Very boring lectures that rarely related to the class itself. I didnt sign up for him but half way through, he came to take over the class and his criteria was confusing. Took points off from class work without clear reason why. Attempted to use all of class time but with unnecessary lectures.

There are a few discussion questions, 1 group paper and 2 exams. Exams are purely textbook based so you NEED to read. Final exams are 30 MC questions with essays. The essay topics are given beforehand--you have to write ALL 10 prompts although only 2 randomly generated ones show up on the exams. Making an A is achievable, just put in the work.

Professor Woldu's class consisted of 2 Tests, 2 Quizzes, 2 Homework's and a Group Project. His class was really interesting to me, just study the PowerPoint Slides and you should be fine for the Midterm and Final. In addition, he offers Extra Credit opportunities which were nice and they help out your grade a bit. He's a good professor.
