I had him for Sales and Sales Management and absolutely loved him. One of the few classes I've taken where I've given my full attention each class. Very understanding and clear with notes and assignments.

Honestly hes pretty easy! Class is really engaging and comfortable which makes a night class bareable. 4 short essays with easy topics. A few quizzes but if you pay attention youll pass

He was a great professor to take Senior year. The class never lasted the full 2 1/2 hours. He has many connections in the business world which could benefit you in the future. I thought the class was great and I learned a lot to benefit my future endeavors.

Professor Kesselman is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He has a lot of real world experience that is very useful for anyone to hear. He is extremely intelligent and wants each and every student to succeed. He can be a tough grader at times but gives everyone an opportunity to explain themselves. Highly recommend, amazing lectures!

Amazing Professor, loved the way he taught his class. He went with a different approach for teaching but ended up being my favorite class of the semester. Graded the Critical analysis papers and business cases fairly easy.

I had Adam for CapSim, which is a total joke of a class as you probably know, but his fantastic persona and teaching style made it enjoyable for all. The textbook is boring and Adam knows this - instead of focusing on the textbook, he brings in speakers from industry, reviews everyone's LinkedIn profiles, and more. Never had a realer professor.

An excellent professor who truly cares about developing students academically and professionally. One of my favorite professors because he teaches material that relates to the world rather than following a syllabus. Grading rubric is common among all sections including assignments. Capsim Exam easy if you do all practice rounds and videos. TAKE HIM

Adam is one of the best professors I've had. He does not teach you the required course material for BA3103 but rather tells you about the important stuff that you need to know for your career and your personal life. He is very entertaining and will keep you engaged during class. I've learned a lot in this class. Definitely recommend him!

Professor Kesselman, was very intentional on providing the class with tools useful outside of the classroom. He takes attendance and will randomly call on students, which I think is a fair way of checking for engagement and being prepared. He didn't shame you if you aren't prepared, but once again useful lesson post college graduation.

Lectures are beneficial to you. You read the textbook but its more about applying it to the real world, that's what he cares about and so should you. Take this man if you want to learn.

Lots of reading and writing involved( I wished class was more organized). Prof. Kesselman help students understand how the stock market and other current events may affect you and the world. He is very engaging and will make sure you learn something new every class. Words cant explain how his class and critics allows you to grow. 10/10

Professor Kesselman is not an easy going professor but that does not mean he doesn't have good teaching skills. This class is different than your regular business classes and requires work. You have to keep up with current events and apply your knowledge practically. This class can be more organized, but it is definitely worth learning from him.

This is not an easy class. Prof Kesselman made it clear. Having said that, it was the most beneficial class I have taken at Temple, largely due to the professor. He is extremely knowledgable and aware of world events. He randomly picks on students, so be aware. read the book, participate, watch the news, triple check your papers, and you'll be fine
