Comment:

Ron is an absolute treasure. His decades of experience give him reams of knowledge that he yearns to share. He was always willing to talk about stuff before or after class. The class isn't hard, - go to every class, and write down his stories. It's likely you'll never hear them anywhere else. I loved them. Buy his book too. It's amazing, and helps.

Comment:

Professor Logan is so sweet. He is soo knowledgable about the theme park industry, because he has SOOO much experience from Disney. the course can become a little boring if you're not super into theme parks, but definitely a course worth taking. course is made up of your attendance grade, group "mini theme park" project, and a final exam.

Ronald Logan is a Disney Legend and is a wealth of practical information. His class lectures are similar to a Grandfather passing on important information and life lessons. Bigger group project and finals. Not hard but focuses on group participation to pass. He brings out a students creativity and doesn't over burden them. 100% would take again.

Comment:

There are very few assignments. A larger group project throughout the semester, attendance, and a final exam. He has SO MUCH experience. He is a Disney Legend and will talk about Disney all semester but I enjoyed it. It's like listening to your grandfather talk about the good ol' days. Fun class, cool and funny old guy.

Comment:

Ron Logan is an interesting guy but the class was a waste of time. All he talked about were his experiences at Disney, many of which were exaggerated and clearly not true. The class itself was easy, only one midterm, group project, and final. Easy A but I felt like I could've been doing so many other important things.

Took Intro to Entertainment Mngmt. This dude blows. Just rambles for 3hrs. I Never read 1 page of textbook material, skipped every pointless lecture and just had others sign me in for attendance points, still got an A. Just put on a great show for your 1 presentation and read the quizlets for the final & you can pass the class without even trying.

Comment:

Undoubtedly the worst professor I have ever had. Had to buy 3 books, and he never once lectured on anything in the readings. Most of the class was made up of listening to his war stories at disney. The information would have been good to a Theme Park major, but not entertainment. The grade for the whole class is one group project and the final. OCH

Comment:

My boss recommended taking him for class and she couldn't have given a better recommendation. His wealth of knowledge is extraordinary. If you aren't a Theme Park or Entertainment major you may find the lectures a little boring at times. For anyone who's worked in a theme park he delivers an amazing array of stories.

Comment:

Professor Logan has had alot of experience in the disney industry. His class was extremely easy. Boring. Yes. His lectures are cool and all but he tends to get off topic, ALOT. I wouldn't reccomend skipping because he does take points off for it. He does not have any test throughout the entire semester it's just a group project and the final.

As a Disney Legend, he is VERY knowledgeable and loves to tell stories about his past. A large portion of his stories are very interesting but if you're tired you may fall asleep.

Comment:

I loved learning about him from his sub we had the first month of class. Then he came and I started hating class. He is very experienced, a Disney Legend, but he is older and most classes are just him telling stories of his glory days. I didn't learn a thing from the lectures. Luckily he does not test on lecture material, but the book is a must.

You do not need the book. Your grade is four parts, attendance, two group projects, and the final. The final is hard to study for because you do not have notes or anything, he basically lectures from his life experience which is very interesting but doesn't help on the final, which is 40 percent of your grade

Ronald Logan is by far the worst professor I have had in regards to the three universities that I attended. I felt like I was throwing away my tuition; there was no point to his lectures and no structure to anything. Do not take his class.

he's amazing and so knowledgeable! I enjoyed going to his class everyday. in the beginning of the semester he would just sit there and talk, but after we started working on the group project it went by fast! I took him this summer and all we did was the group project, no final! everyone got an A in the class!

Amazing teacher, didn't know what to expect but he was awesome. Made class fun, def not boring. He told us a lot about working at Disney and all of his expeiences, he has accomplished so much and he is still going even at his age. Would love to take him again if it was ever possible. Take him and you won't be upset.

Comment:

Professor Logans class was mainly listening to him talk about his life. He has a good heart but the you learn nothing. The class grade is participation(taken at random) the final project (create a project) and the final exam. Thats all folks! lectures are long but if you show up once in a while you will 100% pass this class! btw do NOT buy the text

Comment:

You won't learn anything. He doesn't have presentations, just seats there and talks about himself. No lecture, one final. You can see all the material now, in his ucf webpage. Class is a waste of time and money, but an easy A. No text book, no quizzes, nothing. Disney mentality, lets just waste time for four months and then give A's to everyone!!!!

Comment:

this class was sometimes hard to sit through, but once you realize the wealth of knowledge that this professor has it makes his stories more interesting. the class is mostly stories. summer session grades were based on random attendance days, one project that was easily thought out over the 'production' days that he gives in class, and the final.

Comment:

Professor Logan is one of the best teaches I've had, all those that complain about this class being "Disney 101" dont understand that Mr. Logan teaches Disney just o provide context for the information hes spreading. His stories are truly interesting and give humanity and personality to the subject he teaches. I've learned so much from this class!
