Dont be fooled by his kindness. If you want a good mark for an easy class like mgmt sci, you have to work harder than students in other sections. UNFAIR! Dua thinks the course is too easy so he'll purposely make all questions harder. I thought this was unfair. The other two profs made it easier than Dua and mark tests much more easier than he does.

Do not waste money on the textbook. Dua provides his own notes, and they will cover everything you need. Attend class and you are almost guaranteed a great mark. Mid term exams are very similar to class questions. Final exam was tricky, but marking is very fair.

I've had Dua before and wasn't a huge fan, but as the professor for the CorpFi lab he was AWESOME! The lectures (with Paseka) were largely theory, which was good to know, but the practice and simplified explanations by Dua were a great compliment, bringing a lot more clarity to the material. Really appreciated having him in the lab.

Terrible professor. Singles out students for his entertainment. Sits down with his feet up during lectures and talks into the mic like a robot while everyone follows along with his Google Doc. How is he getting paid for that? Had to drop the class I could not stand more than 2 lectures with him.

very entertaining guy, only because he goes on rants every class, sometimes about things we are not even talking about in the course. have had him twice now and although he can be funny, his notes are not great, test questions are very difficult at times and just very unclear about many things within his courses in general

He is fair with grading and testing. He is a bit unconventional as a teacher but is very knowledgeable about what he teaches. Studying on your own will take you really and in my opinion better off in this course.

Dua is one of the more interesting profs i've had. He is very entertaining during lectures but the material and notes he posts are not very useful. The exams are a joke as they have many spelling mistakes and are very difficult. Overall, Dua is a funny guy but i'm not sure i'd want him as a professor again.

Professor is hilarious but disorganized. Rely on unstuckstudy ai and the textbook to do well - lectures are hit-or-miss. Overall an entertaining class, but prepare to put in extra work.

Just ended the second week and I feel stuck, I can't drop this class so i won't get waitlisted somewhere else. I absolutely hate his teaching style, some might say he's hilarious but he needs to be serious for one second and teach the actual material. I'm worried that i'm gonna fail cause he seems like an awful teacher with questionable jokes.

I have no words. We're into the second week of class and this guy is literally all over the place and he does not make any sense. A lot of people dropped the class after the second day. Textbook was required and he's not even following the textbook?? Like how are we already at Chapter 5 when we've only had 2 classes? Everyone is so confused.

Absolute struggle to keep up with this class. If you zone out for one second it is likely that you've missed 5 different homework assignments. Raise your hand and try to ask what he had just assigned? He wont even remember. HIs quizzes are absolute nonsense and not to mention the english he uses is not proper so its impossible to understand.

He was very unorganized and made a lot of jokes that don't relate to the material. He assigns homework during lectures but doesn't post announcements about it. I recommend to study the material on your own time because he does not touch on everything from the core notes or textbook.

he was not really very good nor really bad. i thought i would not pass but i scored well. other than that his lectures are heavy and the quizzes were not related to what he taught in the class. also as it a written course, there were a lot of assignments. overall he was good and helpful.

A true figure of inspiration. Doesn't flinch at the mention of torture, violence or guns. A man so revered that he personally gets called to the deans office for a talk. I don't what I'm saying. He does need new jokes tho.

Honestly, hes pretty bad if you want a structured way of learning, but otherwise he gives a lot of examples in class and he tries to be funny. He has gotten less offensive over the years. But dont expect your quality of learning to be that great.

his classes are a cannon event you'll have to sit through to truly understand. he is unhinged and can go off topic, but will keep you engaged the whole time. The midterm and final formats are MCQ's and open book but will still have to study hard to perform well. overall enjoyed my time in his class Thanks Dua.
