he's kinda strict... need to memorize from his notes basically. his exams are 50 M/C questions. for the final, there's 4 short essays to answer and 40 M/C questions.

this guy is really funny. gives 2 midterm which are 50 T/F questions. the final consist of 4 out of 8 essays and 40 T/F questions. fun class.

Very nice prof. Kinda strict in grading, but gives a curve on final grades. Tests are memorization from HIS notes.

Very entertaining but strict on attendance. His tests are fair.....

very nice guy. easy A. friendly. sense of humor. approachable. vice-chair of the dept.

Very funny guy. He's one of the best prof.s I've ever had. His class is interesting cuz he teaches from his expriences not just from the book. Very recommendable.

He is very funny and his lectures are interesting. His exams are fair, although not easy. Just study his notes and you should do fine.

nice guy and keeps class interested, but beware that tests are very tricky! gives two 50 question multiple choice tests that are not as easy as you think, need to know material but if you study should get a B

Great teacher. Very funny and keeps you interested in material. T/F midterms straight from notes and book. Take him if you can.

im suprised that nobody mentioned that his final is CUMILATIVE (13 chapters) and 8 essays (u have to do 4), but still you have to study hard for final cuz its 405 of ur grades and its essays-

The class was OK. He is funny and makes a lot of jokes..never a boring day in class. HOWEVER, the final is insane. 13 CHAPTERS!!! And you have to do 40 T/F and 4 out of 8 essays. It may not seem like a big deal, but it is A LOT to study for...all lists. There have to be easier professors then him.

Where does this guy come up with his notes. He tells you to read the book and study HIS notes. Save yourself the trouble and make your own notes. Too many chapters for final, 13. Jokes get wack a little after the 4th week. Arrives late often.

funny professor, sometimes my cheeks hurted from laughing so hard. his tests are t/f and can be tricky. so just make sure you go over your notes. i didnt read the textbook - just my notes and i got a B

boring prof. takes attendance every class too, so dont be late. book not needed, he provides slides that are very unclear and hard to follow. be ready to take good notes. t/f exams are tricky, but if you study YOUR notes, you should be able to pass the class. Never lets out on time.

Effective style of teaching! makes u get interested in the subject. 2 tests, 1 paper, 1 final. tests were kinda easy if u knew the material very well. final was a killer cuz had to know 13 chps in n out! 40 mc n 4/8 essays! had to memorize most of the stuff. at times he's boring but at times he's very funny. overall a good professor.

Great class in the beginning. But after 3 weeks and the same jokes being recycled, it gets kinda lame. His cumulative true/false tests are somewhat tricky. His final is KILLER. 50 t/f questions and 4 out of 7 or 8 essays on THIRTEEN CHAPTERS of material. Not an easy A at all.

Not an easy class: there are many assignments and each one counts for a small percentage of the final grade. The final is cumulative but allows for a choice of 3 out of 6 essays. Generous grader, accepts simple right-to-the-point answers. Overall, great professor with a good sense of humor.

The class is easy, he explains it very well. However, there is a lot to study and memorize. 2 test, 1 paper and a killer final. Tricky T/F questions and in the final you have to answer 4 out of 8 essays. Overall, he is a very nice and funny professor. He tries to build up confidence in us and gives lessons that are applicable to life.

boring class. true-false midterms, true-false & essays in final. everything CUMULATIVE!!!

Booke will work you harder than you've ever worked before...but will reward you in the end. Potentially the best of all of the BPL professors but BE PREPARED TO WORK! You will get a decent to really good grade (B- and above) and will hear a good deal of funny jokes over the course of the semester. Take over other professor

Boring class. He talks too much stuff outside the syllabus and rushes when tests arrive. If you have a good memory, this is a pretty easy class. Tests are fair but the final is cumulative. The two midterms are true and false format. Final has 3 essays. One easy homework (5%). Class participation in the big class (5%)

Booke is such a great professor, very knowledgeable, well organized and a jokester. At times lessons can be boring but thats expected-otherwise he will help you out when you need it and hes always looking for feedback from his students which is great..Theres not to many of these great professors around-take BOOKE!

He is GREAT !!! Very interesting! You will not want to fall asleep in his class. I learned a lot! He is a fair grader. He gives you notes + you should take notes yourself and you'll do well. I wish I could take him again.

I was a visiting Studnet in his class. Wish all my Professor were as organized, professional and interesting as he is. The subject came to life in his lectures and although there is a lot to cover his notes and his guideance will help you !

Good professor. One of the authors of the BPL primer, which I found to be a great substitute to any textbook. The class isn't hard and the tests are straighforward but the sheer amount of the workload will keep you busy throughout the semester. Good-natured, funny, helpful.

Not easy... but a nice guy and a good prof... the tests are way harder than they need to be

I didn't get much out of this class. Wasn't insightful, wasn't challenging. Expected more. Don't waste your time.

he's a funny professor, teaches very well but his exams are not easy. T/F questions, definitely have to study hard. Overall he is a good professor.

I don't understand the people that thought he was boring and had corny jokes. This was easily my favorite class and this is a boring subject that he made fun. I looked forward to the classes. I'm not happy with the 15 chapter final which included short essays, I think I failed another test partially because this test took too much of my time.

He is good prof. but exams is Hard..The lowest grade that I ever had in Baruch. 1st exam-CH1~7. 2nd exam-CH1~1X. 3rd exam-whole book. T or F questions freak u out. Dont think essay questions in final will be easier, even worse.

Too much material on tests - everything cumulative. First test and half of semester is on Supreme Court cases- must know date, x vs y, decision - like a law class. Last half of semester flew by but exams very hard.

Horrible. Yes he is sometimes funny, and I never fell asleep, not boring but hard. Even if u pay attention, he tests u on tricky T/F bascically to see how well u read. Final is harddddd...not worth it for a class that should be more on experience than on terminology. Goes too much off the topic...

don't know what the rest of people are talking about, prof. Booke is a nice professor with a sense of humor. Exams are directly from the book, and Project is easy.

Excellent professor, crystal clear teaching guidelines and methods. Blend in boring topics (HRM rules, etc) with a touch of humor. Never fell asleep although class is between 8:15PM-10:45PM. Exams are hard but as long as you study slides&videos, you will do just fine. He is much better than the book. Highly recommended, even if ur not HR manjor.

Prof. Booke is easy, exam questions r directly from the materials that we learned in class and book. If u pay attention on what he says in class and read the book, u sure will have no problem with this!! Take him, he's the choice!!

One midterm, one final. Three assignments. Assignments are easy, one was a surprise, two were listed on the syllabus. Exams consist of T/F questions (tricky) and short essays. A word of caution; if you can't memorize stuff don't bother. Also, be sure to memorize everything! about the videos he shows. No textbook.

Prof Booke loves to teach. He has some korny jokes but overall try's to make class interesting. Took over the summer and was intense because he goes thru all material just like full semester, no text book though. He does not give breaks either.

Prof. Booke is good! He loves his subject very much. You need to study his notes firts and then the book. T/F questions are tricky. The grades could be curved. Take him!

He's a really nice guy. He veers off the subject alot in class and will spend one hour on one slide and zoom through the rest. Stay glued to the book and his power point slides! You have to basically memorize to get an A in this class. He is very helpful when it comes to resumes and career related questions.

I thought this is a good course for obtaining a general understanding of Human Resources. It's very easy just 2 tests, a midterm and a final, which derived from his notes. You won't need to buy a textbook but make sure you memorize every inch of the notes because he will test you on everything.

Easy A if you memorize all the slides. Summer class is recommended. Gives a midterm, a final and 5 small easy assignments. One 12 pg. paper about topic of your choice related to HR. Great professor, highly recommended for learning and attaining an easy A.

Harder than it has to be, but certainly doable. If you read the textbook first, and than read his slides/notes, the T/F questions should be a breeze.

Fair prof, you really do learn and gotta work. Class is very interesting, funny guy, EXTREMELY helpful with appointments and making sure you know the stuff. Textbook is a great read. Got an A-, but you gotta know the stuff. Attendance is serious. Read the book and youll be fine, tests are a bit tricky though, you really gotta know your stuff

Memorizing is key, and it's a lot of details. You get used to it for the final, but the 14 page paper was a little extreme for a short summer course. Not sure he actually read it tho, got an A- on it and for the course as well.

I'm taking this class in the summer and it is unbearably slow. I cannot imagine doing this in fall. As other reviewers have mentioned, his tests are all essentially vocabulary memorization, which he makes weak rationalizations for. This is fine for math or some other base-of-the-structure topic, but it is inappropriate for management.

Not the best but deff easy. brings real world examples. tests are easy as long as you read the book. how hard can that be? the class itself is easy. just show up and read the book for exams. material is interesting, deff recommended!

I took the course in the summer. The course itself is easy and definitely relates to real world employment scenarios. The professor is a nice guy, however, his exams involve lots of memorization. They are not difficult, but it is important to carefully read each question. Overall, I would recommend this class. Goodluck!

He's good and knowledgeable about the subject, but honestly cumulative finals are absolutely ridiculous. You learn much less trying to remember everything in the semester for a single final rather than a portion of the chapters. Watch out for his grading, he tends to make mistakes.

He may repeat the same stories over and over again but I enjoyed his lectures overall. Two tests, a 10-12 page term paper, and 4 HW assignments. YOU MUST MEMORIZE HIS NOTES. If you dont memorize his notes then you will be in for a surprise on the mid-term/final. The hardest thing is remembering everything. It is a lot of information.

Very nice Prof., and enjoys sharing knowledge. 4 individual H/W and 1 final paper, 1 midterm, 1 final. No group project.

Sofar he is the best professor I have seen. Extremely knowledgeable and willing to share his knowledge. Attend, take notes and you'll be fine for True/False tests. Final is cumulative but it is not bad at all. He hints what topics to concentrate on. Prof Booke is the right investment of time and money!!!! Take ONLY him!!!!!

stand up guy. gives you every chance to earn a good grade. almost 40 percent of grade is from homework or online quizzes plus participation. But be prepared for a boring class. he tries to make class exciting but you will be bored every single time. fair warning!

Great professor - yes his videos are outdated, etc. But if you go to class, write down what he says, read his notes, you can get an A. He's not out to "get you", he wants you to learn and he will be fair if he sees you have an interest and try. People complain about him but hes really a fair teacher.
