I don't know if anyone will be able to actively choose him, because I had him for Business Recitation. He's such a cool guy. Very laid back. Excellent grader. I learned a lot from him. He also went off on very interesting tangents, sparking lively discussions.
Hes the man.Dont be absent and his class is pretty easy.You have to read some articles, maybe do some easy 1 page responses and you have 1 group project which isnt the most fun but its ok.Other than that hes the man.
Good communicator, keeps class awake and doesn't like late comers to class. Do the work and you'll learn a lot especially from the real world of business.
There are many professors who dont get to the point. This guy is very clear and in your face. His jokes can be a bit lude but he its ok.Dont be fooled by his appearance he is very willing to help you. He likes to give you pratical advice which can be useful to some. He also loves to get class opinion.Pretty easy class do what you are assigned ur ok
Holy lord... it's hard to rate this guy... He's a hard grader (says he doesn't give A's because then you won't work hard), but he's got great stories, but he's never prepared, he only listens to his favorites, and always starts/ends class late. His recitation was sadly 50 minutes a week I'll never get back.
Can some1 say TIME NAZI!!! Omg, this guy flips out when you're late or if you don't have your work on time. Favors some and tells tons of stories about his 1,000,000,000,000 jobs all over the world. A tad picky with good work and PSYCHO with grammer on written assignments. Over all I would say he's nice and a bit demanding, but cool and REAL!
Friggin awesome! He's the kind of professor that more colleges need. These two and a half hour lectures are mostly boring. He adds some flair, keeps it real and by the end... you've actually learned something! LUV HIM!!
Hey, guys DON"T take him if you want to learn MKT. His class is such a waste of time, money,and energy. What he said is **** and nonsense. He is one of the worst prof I ever had at baruch. Also his grading system is not fair too, since there is no exam. He tends to grade higher to his favorite students. If you are an ass kisser, then take him.
he may come off a bit strong at first but he is really a cool guy. is very big on class participation and makes the class interesting by talking about real-life examples and the many jobs he's had. with him you learn a lot about marketing that is not in the text. no tests just one big group project.
really cool guy. the type of professor you can chill with. the whole class surrounded one big group project, which we constantly had to update with him. he did seem to be a little strict in the beginning, but turned out to be really great by making a usually boring class rather interesting. the fastest 2 and half hours i've ever taken at baruch.
What did I get out from O'malley's class? I can summarize in one word "SUCKS". Don't expect to learn anything from his class, because the guy doesn't know how to teach. This is what we called the "worms" of the American education system. If you want a quality education look for somebody else. His class was just a joke!
The class depends on one group project and also participation, how you do on that is what you get. Pick an interesting topic to research and you should love the class. He is very helpful and not strict at all, just don't be late to class without letting him know.
This recitation teacher is funny. 1st day of class he came out as a real hard @$$ though. But he was eventually cool. made us do a group project and a debate on companies as well as 3 short 1 pg. papers. have to raise your hand once a while or else he will pick on you. The class was on friday morn. which sucks. Not a hard rec. teacher at all.
........
O'Malley is mad cool, had him on a friday for only 50 mins, dont be late and just do as he says, you shall be fine...hes awesome
Biggest **** i've ever met. Made me feel retarded and did not help out at all. Thinks he's tough**** just cuz he's from****ty Ireland. He should "step down from his pedestal" and start acting like a human being.
He HATES America!!!! He gives 2 homeworks, one debate, and one shadow-a-company group project. He likes people to be 10 minutes early and will yell if you come in on time for class. He grades a bit hard. He hates powerpoints, but loves presentations which have color and bash America.
he makes fun of people, puts you on the spot, he is arrogant, rude. From the first day he acts like he is the toughest and doesn't care if students evaluate him badly at the end of the semester.
Horrible professor. He belittles his students and acts like he's the smartest guy. He sucks.
He’s a cool professor. Just do the requirements and always remember to be on time.
Needs to always be the center of attention, has some sort of complex. Knows his stuff, but doesn't know how to teach it. Nice guy overall, tries to be funny and it works most of the time. ALWAYS be on time. Don't interrupt him, don't talk when others are talking. Gives students a lot of creative freedom with projects. Overall simple class.
hes kinda anal about attendence and lateness and tries to act tough but turns out to be pretty cool. He loves little wierd facts so throw them in your term paper and presentations and its an easy A. He likes to learn things he didnt know before. Hes a pretty easy grader. Cool Guy overall. :)
He will keep you awake. Pretty funny and interesting guy. Tough on attendance but a pleasure to have in front of the class. You'll learn a lot of "the real world" business and other things.
Professor O'Malley is a person that you may both hate and appreciate. He is knowledgeable so you can learn some new ideas from him. But he is very rude to treat with his students sometimes. In all, i think if you are a good student, you will have fun in his class. If not, hehe, you should try you best to show up your abilities to him
I had this professor for Business recitation, and this was the easiest class. He will tell you what he expects, and as long as you do it, you're on his good side. Come to Class a few minutes before class starts. 1 minute late, YOU're LATE. Overall very cool and funny guy. Cracks jokes in the class all the time as well.
Professor O'Malley is a great professor. He is very intelligent & unlike other professors, he knows his stuff. I always look forward to going to class because he makes things interesting. He has a great sense of humor and I have much respect for him. He is a professor with whom I wouldn’t mind going and "drinking a couple of pints" with.
He has very edgy humor and it takes time to get used to it, but when it comes to teaching, you have to stay sharp to respond if asked or memorize what he just said, otherwise you'll miss some of the questions on the II BUS exam. Remember when NYSE closes (he said, but everyone missed it)!
Irish. puts u on the spot to answer questions all the time. fun&easy environment. at first i thought he was hard, but not after all. he does most of the talking, sometimes unclear about assignments/dates. 144 jobs he got, broker once, so fast past. interested by lots of stuff.check online simultaneously when teaching for up-to-date info.
Excellent way of linking the real world with the text book, very alive and vibrant teaching environment!
i'd definitely like to go out for a drink with this guy. "have you all been living under a rock"
he puts u on the spot. he hasnt taught anything. comes in and asks "what are we doing today?" talks about crap going on in foreign countries! WHO GIVES A FLYING FIG!(keepin it clean)
Not a teacher! Very intimidating and his class doesn't matter. Never gave back any grades. For someone who wants to teach common sense he sure as heck never did. Also for someone who wants to get people to not be nervous he achieves quite the obvious. Seems like a nice guy to know as a friend but not someone you want as a teacher. Funny guy, though
O'malley is arrogant and pretentious. He doesnt teach anything related to the lecture class and just assigns busy work. He think he is always right and doesn't admit when he has made a mistake.
This guy writes his own reviews all of the time. Anything good said is what he wrote himself. Very sneaky of you "Prof O"
He is a funny guy, but not the best teacher. Gives a lot of work for a recitation teacher, and we didn't get anything back. Should stop interrupting students when they are giving presentations. He's aware of what's going on in the world and wants us to do be also. I just don't know if he's successful in having us see the world in a different light.
He's arrogant and we get work that had NOTHING to do with the topic. He can tell us that we're 'spoon-fed spoiled brats' but he could've taught us business related material while he was at it. He had a bad attidude, ridiculed students (quiet ones beware), was never prepared, and quick to judge. Speak up but don't stand up to him if you want an A.
I think Baruch should fired this guys. He doesn't even know simple math. Waste everybody's time...
Very funny and interesting, I take his class and he answers all questions & doesn't let the stupid kids get away. Discusses current events and connects to textbook reading. Humorous and is always cracking jokes on other people.
He is nice to have a beer with, but that's pretty much it. He's not a very good teacher, as shown by the test results of the class. The lectures are okay, the textbook is horrible though. The tests aren't hard, it's all just based on memorization of the lectures and notes. Overall, however, I would definetely not recommend him.
you need to get used to his accent. he has some funny jokes sometimes. he likes to ask front row students in lectures about stupid things like what will you do with $100. you need both lecture notes and book to study for an exam.
If you wanna suffer all semester, thats the guy. Exams are extremely hard. I study from the book and his notes, still least 10 questions on the test is from nowhere. 60% are failing as a result of 3 exams. Think about twice before taking him!!!!!!!!!
****ing hilarious guy, you'll def. keep interested, make sure you know the book AND GO TO ALL THE LECTURES he asks questions based only on the lecture. its a pretty hard course with him, but then again i didnt buy the text book and am doing as well as most of the class[about 60-70%]
funny and cool guy but his tests are extremely retarded. I attended all classes and read all the chapters but still did poorly (50-65 range). Out of the whole lecture hall (200+ students) only 5 people scored 90+. This guy behind me scored a 90 but he had to read the chapters three times. Easy class but retarded tests!
Don't even think to take him. Easy subject, but tests are hard as hell,even if you gonna study for the whole week every day. On 3rd test our class(250 people) only 1 person score 90, and another 7 score 82(counting as a great result!!!!).More than 60% just failed. If it's sounds good for you, just go head and ruin your GPA.
the dude is HILARIOUS! and i dunno he HAD to be doing something right, at least for me. i mean the whole class did horrible, but I did just as good, if not better than the class, and i didn't even buy or read a page of the text book. the guy will definately keep you awake, but you NEED to pay attention and READ, trust me it WILL pay off. its not an
Funny but his tests are pretty hard. Only 3 got 80s on the tests. Everyone else got 40s-50s. You have to memorize the chapters, participate, take lots of notes(even the most useless things like percentages, dates & people in the movies he shows)& know some random facts about the world(he had that on a test). The presentations & debates were fine.
hes SO RUDE! and said he should teach manner class because students dont have manner. wth?! hes the one who should TAKE some manner lessons. most of his tests came from his lecture, so make sure you attend class or get people's notes. whatever you think it's not improtant, it's improtant. and make sure you read the textbook and memorize EVER LINE!
The professor is extremely hillarious. Great tests. I got above 80 everytime.Exciting class, do not go to his class if you have heart attack. Strongly Recommended.
he is FUNNY and makes the class entertaining....if you listen in class,take notes and read the textbook then you should fine! A few presentations but they're pretty easy. JUST STUDY for his exams!
Do not be late to class. Ever. Honestly... quite an obnoxious professor. I had him for recitation. Not a hard class at all. Just kind of hard to deal with every week. He pretty much says what he wants to say and does what he wants to do. A little... No very nerve racking. Hes some what a respectable person. If he likes you he would rarely show it.
He is a good professor that helps you a lot with oral communications. He is very funny most of the time but can be harsh at times, if he is penalizing you for something. Very knowledgeable. Impossible to get 100, but with a little bit of work A (93-95) is pretty easy.
cool guy. off beat sense of humor. very intelligent. kinda mean, but overall nice guy.
hard test, can't teach, RUDE, pretty funny, blame the students for not studying wen only like 10 out of 400 ppl got over 90, don't take him, he will ruin yur GPA, doesn't care about students, make fun of student in class
This guy seriously has no life. The biggest insecurity complex in the world. Makes up stories to gain respect and probably has no friends. Besides that, he also has no idea how to teach and grades people based on how much of himself he sees in them.
Professor O'Malley is not afraid of anything. I remember in my second class with him, he asked me a question about the world. I openly said, "I don't know". He made an example out of me and lectured the class that he does not accept "I don't know"s. Answer his questions and don't be afraid of him. He's laid back and cool. Easy grader for recitation
He is keeps you at your toes by picking on random people to answer to his questions. He expects you to know what's happening in the news and world so read the news before his class. He really likes to talk about the national debt.
This guy seemed nice and funny at first but got progressively more rude and obnoxious as the semester progressed. If you want to be insulted, screamed at, and graded unfairly then take him!
Loved him. Took a january class with him and he made fun of this dumb russian crackhead and everyone else who was late a lot. Just come to class and pay attention. I got a B for the class and have no interest what so ever in Business.
hard grader.. bad bad..
study the lecture and the textbook if your going to take him. dont come in late, dont sleep and dont chitchat or he'll pick on you but other than that, everything is pretty lenient.
This guy is one of the few professors at Baruch that will force you to question everything all around you. READ THE TEXTBOOK and write everything he says in his lectures and you should be fine! Three exams plus the final and he drops the lowest one. Not a bad professor overall...just make sure not to come late to class!
Very funny professor with a nice borat accent. he does speak out a lot and can get very rude... he embaresses people in front of a whole lecture class so dont come late, disturb, fall asleep,or stare at laptop. 4 exams. 40 Q's each, 75% textbook 25% lecture. Straightforward questions with some twisted ones and other ones are too specific. i got b+
He's hard but his teaching is outstanding. He makes the class interesting with stories related to the topic. He puts people in the stoplight occassionally Also, don't fall asleep or he'll put you on the stoplight for sure.
Ease: 6/10 Helpful: 9 Fun of Class: 7 Funniness: 10! Attendance: Taken Work Amount: Two presentations, attnd, & participation. A: Gotta work a lil Text: no Overall: EXCELLENT prof. Class was very interesting, but not really an "easy A" You gotta do well and hes fair. At times kinda wacky. Great experience tho, take him just for that. Funny guy too
Is very rude to students and picks on students most of the time. Does seem interesting at times and shares stories. Will fry students if students do work that is not good. Must really pay attention and work to produce good presentations, etc. Not a teacher you should take if you can avoid it.
He is not an easy professor nor is he a difficult professor. Very intelligent man, I learned a lot from him. Never be late to class b/c it is one of his biggest pet peeves. No hwk, barely ever use txtbk, tests are based on lecture and notes. He makes class interesting trust me, you will learn to understand his character oh & he's Irish!! haha
He is a fair grader, but you have to come to class on time. Will randomly call on people who rarely speak. Uses power point slides in class to teach and if you read the textbook then you'll do fine too. Had to do a group presentation and the final had 50 multiple choice questions.
Great Teacher.. Very different style than other professors...
He's funny and his lectures are clear and to the point
smart man, loves to talk about himself. if you have charisma, you'll most likely get an A. you also have to do your work... but the work consists of group projects and that's all. he's really a great guy. don't be late. ever.
very attractive. he is a great professor if you get on his good side. he might seem like he wakes up on the wrong side of the bed everyday but it is not true.
wow. what a class. first day, i thot he'd be good and interesting. but pretty boring class. 2/3 tests (3 out of 4 highest) and 1/3 recitation. For his tests, he says they are ez but r hard. possible to get a, but choose a better tcher
One of those professors that treats students as they would be treated in the real world. Very FUNNY, interesting to listen to.. Irish accent .. HAS HAD like a million different jobs.. 4 exams.. lowest dropped.. you really have to study in detail..especially statistics if you want an A...if only i had known thia sooner.
I tried to keep a running count of how many times this dude talked about drinking beer... then he started talking about cocaine and weed to illustrate his points in class? What a joke. One of the easiest classes I've ever taken but I didn't learn a damn thing.
Excellent professor! Brings back old world values to the post internet world in his lectures. Extremely funny and very direct. Tests are somewhat difficult but you get what you deserve.
Doesn't treat students with much respect, don't take this guy if you don't want to be mistreated. While he is a good quality professor, he should treat students with more respect.
A good professor, rude though.
Really great teacher! I had him for recitation for Intro to Business and really learned a lot. He's very interesting and funny and makes me want to actually learn. He's also very direct with what he wants and what he thinks about his students. He likes to give projects/ presentations Recommended if you want an interesting class!
He is good, can be rude and too self- confident sometimes. Fair grader and makesclss interesting.
You have to put up with this character and focus on the class, nothing else to say.
Presentation based, course outlined (all specifics included) on day one, rest of semester follows suit. Not a bad class at all.
This professor is absolutely terrible in his assessment of students. Take into consideration that his class is mildly entertaining, however his tests are completely irrelevant and will effect you grade point average negatively regardless of you business knowledge.
Terrible Grader!!!The one who doesn't care about your GPA.Exam do not have much to do with business knowledge.Multiple choice. 30 Qs, if you got 24 (which is the class'averge.)you will receive a "B-." There is no curve.
Took him in winter. it was an awesome class
Great Professor. He makes the class fun and likes to engage the students in the material. Sure, his grading may seem arbitrary, but if you do your work well, it'll be arbitrarily good. He has a tendency to put people on the spot to keep students attentive. Amazing personality and cracks good jokes all the time. I would recommend.
He's quite entertaining but scares the hell outta me.
I enjoyed his lectures a lot. He makes the class interesting. Doesn't really prepare you for his tests.
Funny man, hates lateness. You definitely need to go to lectures for notes and read the book for specific details he asks on tests
This professor is terrible, his tests consist of random facts from his lectures that have absolutely no point to know for any reason at all. Random statistics that mean nothing and change yearly, this class is ridiculous, after this semester i can honestly say i learned nothing. Useless class, useless professor. I got an A but do not know anything.
His tests are just nightmares. I have no idea how can any students get 90+ on his tests since the questions were 90% based on the random things he said in class. You'll never get your tests back, which I found to be unfair and not helpful to our learning at all!Boring slideshows that you can just see it from the textbook.
Professor O'Malley's class was very enjoyable. He tries to make the class interesting and interactive. He gets straight to the point and is not afraid to hurt his students' feelings. Besides his sometimes rude behavior, he teaches an eye opening course. He adds questions about the textbook that he does not mention in class, so pay attention to it.
This class is okay but what I hate is how he always pick on you on random times. He hates lateness. If you're late, you should be absent rather than walking in late. The exams are really hard. Everything on it is about random things in his lecture. We spent 3/4 of the time in class learning about how we owe 14 trillion dollars.
He is an EXTREMELY sarcastic professor. If you get your feelings hurt easily DO not take this class. He will pick on random people throughout class even if you don't raise your hand. Stay as up to date as possible on current events/news/economy and you should be able to semi answer his random questions.
O'malley is one of a kind. He has high expectations and is obviously very,very irish. He's not keen on remembering people, but if you do stand out and show that yes you have an opinion and yes you can read current events and hold your own, he'll treat you right. He writes poetry too! Ask 'im about FBI.
Great guy,very good sense of humor. He does demand a lot from his class but he also teaches you a lot. He is VERY sarcastic but personally I found his class to be entertaining and engaging. Does not tolerate lateness nor absence for that matter,beware,you will be called out for it.
His lectures are basically the textbook. He spends half the class rambling about how he hates this and that and it gets annoying after a while. 2 absences allowed. A midterm and a final. Tests have irrelevant questions and ask about random statistics that he throws around, so take note of them
Very boring professors. Most lectures are from the textbook. However, not everything on the text are from the textbook. He makes random statements and those are on the test.
Definitely a must take for the Winter semester. Probably the easiest class i've ever taken. I've also never fell asleep once. Tests are 40 MP pretty easy. Puts statistics and lecture notes, also puts some retardedly easy questions like "what does PR stand for?" (Public relation). Seriously easy
I dont usually give ratings but I felt somewhat strongly about this professor. O'Malley is definitely a mixed bag. He has a good sense of humor and clear powerpoints but he when he made a mistake grading our tests, he was very displeased he had to fix it and I'm not even sure he did. His tests are fair but pay attention to the statistics!
Great professor to me. He relates business to the real world, however his tests can be a bit difficult because he does ask random questions that are strictly from the lecture and he doesn't curve. However, he is witty, and I def. got my money's worth. He made me enjoy learning about business and I recommend him. Btw, don't be late/absent (trust me)
There is textbook use for general knowledge but you really have to be aware of business news and current events to keep up with his tests (and him). He has a good sense of humor and he is big on punctuality and a student's learning going beyond textbook and four walls. Seems tough and abrasive at first he'll grow on you. If you're not an idiot.
He's pretty humorous. The exams contain a lot of random facts he mentions as well as from the textbook. Self-studying and attention is necessary in this class. He doesn't like people that come late or falls asleep in class.
Had him for the recitation part in summer. Definitely an interesting guy. Can't say I liked or disliked him. He wasn't very clear with certain things he wanted and with others was extremely clear. Felt like he was just a funny a whole but I naturally enjoy these types of people so I say take at your own risk.
Take him and you will not regret! He is not an ordinary guy at all. He is tough and a bit rude, but he is a brilliant. His sense of humor is exceptional - if you are not an idiot. He related subjects from the textbook to the real world. Always gives you interesting details and his own radical opinions. You need to keep up with current news!
His lectures are very interesting. Just make sure you come to class and DO NOT come late because he will stop his lecture to reprimand you. Presentations are straight from the book but he also brings in a lot of outside information. He's pretty funny. Take him!!!
Very outspoken guy. Thinks he knows everything. Lecture is boring. Annoying bec he calls on random people. No HW usually, but do it if there is! Only midterm and final. Not too hard but asks about random stuff he says in class.
He is one of the best professors I've had yet. Not only is he intelligent, clear, and nice but he is also witty. i took his business class in the winter; midterm, final and a recitation class-I got an A. Easy. Highly Recommended.
he is very intelligent. Ive learned more than I expected. Thank you prof:)
Rude and annoying. And class is useless unless you have no idea what is going on in the world. Not recommended.
The course is easy - midterm and final only (some q's from lecture, rest from textbook). Professor has good knowledge but came across as arrogant and lazy/underprepared.
Very outspoken. If you have questions of your grade, be persistent. Always be prepared and read something at home.
