Comment:

In this course, I can admit that the grading scheme for the simulation is unfair, my group was lucky enough to do well but I know many people who tried really hard and still ended up with a 35% for 25% of their grade. READ HIS TEXTBOOK! He literally wrote the textbook idk why ppl would think they don't have to read it? If you read it tests are fine

Comment:

I have quite ambivalent about him. His lectures are good, interesting, and informative. However, the exams were a serious time crunch. You MUST know the textbook in and out (slides are a summary) Also 20% of your mark is based on a simulation, I was lucky to get third, if you were last you got a 25% in that section. Read the textbook, good luck.

Ryerson please get rid of him!! Had to take this course with him and hated it. Very bad prof and laugh and makes fun of you when you ask a question. Makes the lives of his students unbearable.

Comment:

Will make you think hes very professional because of his long resume and experience but in reality he probably got fired from every single job he had due to his annoying and narcissistic personality. No clue how he is still a professor at Ryerson. Just reads off the slides, doesnt care about his students, and his exams are extremely tough.

Comment:

Mr Farrell is unfortunately one of those profs whos just there for his paycheque and to sell his book. Gives very little time for exams with VERY long case study questions, simulation is marked solely on a narrow criteria which most end up doing poorly on. Very lazy, dry, lacks understanding for students. Try to avoid.

Comment:

GMS522 is a very hard & intense course, but if you do the readings, an A+ is definitely attainable. Carlyle makes the course hard even though it doesn't need to be. The simulation is 40% of your mark, get a good group! Quizzes/Exams weren't too bad unless you studied & read the book; questions are based on how you understand the concepts & logic.

Carlyle doesnt care about his students one bit. Always finding news ways to make us suffer and his marking scheme is a joke, very tough on grades. Avoid at all cost!

Comment:

He doesn't care about his students, unfair marker, and 25% of your mark is uncontrollable due to the final placement in the simulation. Midterms were unfair with a lot of reading and not enough time to answer questions and same with the final. He only gave one week to do 2 major assignments at the same time and at one point he fought with students

if you are not in gms, do not take this class!!! he is the only prof who teaches it and you will suffer tremendously. students said mental health was terrible since he assigned a 10-page report and PowerPoint due in one week and he did not care. simulation rank is worth 25% of your grade and it's marked unfairly.

Comment:

The man loves to read from the text book. The course itself is 25% based on how you do in a computer simulation. You do this course for the credit and nothing else. It is too bad because he has a wealth of experience but seems unable or unwilling to impart it.

He is the worst professor i've had. Only cares about selling this textbook. Good luck passing the tests/quizzes if you dont buy the textbook no matter how hard you try to learn the slides/materials. Final Report is released a week before due date, the whole class begged him to extend the deadline, he was unmoved. DONT TAKE THIS CLASS/ OR HIM!!!!!!!

Comment:

Took his course online and he did not hold a single lecture. Paid over $700+ to teach myself the course. Quizzes are a time-crunch, there's about a minute per question. Doable if you study the material really well. Replied to emails sometimes weeks later and overall unhelpful.

Comment:

Very hard marker, exams were very difficult with hardly enough time to complete. There is a group project towards the end of the term worth 40% and you are only given less than a week to complete it. GOODLUCK, and brace yourself.

Awful and Disgusting class; never take him if you are not in GMS major. Doesnt even helps you out for everything related to simulation projects. Finals and Midterms are awful and gives an hour to do 60 questions which were mostly long paragraphs .Exams, Projects and Quizzes are due on the weekends and fridays which is unfair for part time students.

Comment:

He has so many required readings to go over it's crazy to think that we're only at half the semester. He only gives 60 minutes for 60 multiple choice questions where they are almost all scenario-based application questions. Extremely unreasonable and a lack of resources that are relevant to the test. 0 lecture slides and no outline of assessments.

DO NOT TAKE HIM. I REPEAT DONT. He does not care about you at all. He just cares about u getting his textbook and he doesnt help you if u email Him. He says everything is on D2L. Quizzes and tests are so bad. Gives you 1 minute per question yet most of the questions requires u to read a whole block of text. Not a good prof at all.

This guy is a total joke, 10-page essay and 10+ slides powerpoint only available for one week and have to be submitted within a week. 60MC in 1 hr. He does not care about students, even this is a Chang school class, Tests are on FRIDAY NOON, makes totally non-sense for part-time students who work full time. NEVER reply to student's email, AVOID
