Very Helpful. A new Proff, So he hasn't quite worked out his system yet, But is very flexible.
EASY class practically 50% of your grade was given to you. The exams were not tough if you spent an hour before reviewing notes he gives out. Funny guy with a lot of wise cracks, and all around cool guy. Flexible in anything
Racka is good teacher. He is sorta anti-corporate but he has a lot of energy and is always joking around. tests are too easy. be sure to participate in class and show up, that is what he cares about. This is an easy A.
What a great guy, have had him for 3 classes now. The best teacher at OCC. Tests arent hard if you paid attention or have a little common sense. Class is fun and Tony has good subjects to talk about each class, never boring.
iv had ton for Marketing/Advertising, Managemnt, and Into to business. i found is class to be very easy i never studied for any of his tests. ATTENDENCE counts twards your grade. he does put a bad spin on the corporate world but i personally am not the biggest fan of it myself. class is never boring
Very intelligent and very handsom.
I took him for business & marketing, a great teacher! Tons of e.c. all you have to do is bring in a newspaper article and talk about it. He's young, funny, down to earth and actually knows what he's talking about. He used to work for ford for a long time to he speaks a lot from his experiences. Take any and all of his classes that you can!
Show up to class, participate in class discussions, and you are guaranteed and "A" like me. Easy extra credit, extremely easy tests (if you skim briefly over chapters), stress-free environment and he breaks down the business terms so that everyone can understand them. Classes are very interacting. YOU WANT RACKA!!!
He is an excellent instructor. Makes managment an easy subject to deal with through class interaction. Brings recent issues to class to help explain topics covered. Class is about the terms and concept minus the bull crap. He is very helpfull and will stay after class with students that need help. I strongly suggest this Professor to BUS students.
Great teacher. Willing to help out in any way possible. He even called a student up who wasn't doing too well to remind him about a test and told him what to expect. Excepts late work, homework is actually fun, and class is very interactive. Tests aren't bad at all. Only 3 total. The last 1 shouldn't even count..(EASY!!) He's great!
Well,I enjoyed this class, he difinitely appears to have a problem with the business world. He is an easy going instructor, but takes off for attendance. Regardless of, if you had a pre-arranged absence. Received a lower grade due to attendance, even though I took precautions to make sure I got the leture,& got A's on all tests & assignments.
he was a great professor. he made class interesting and didnt make you want to fall asleep. he likes to tell a lot of silly stupid jokes that still make you laugh
awesome teacher. connects with his students.
Good instructor. Kept class interesting.
Great Teacher, Kept the class interesting. I really enjoyed all the debating about different subjects that related to management. He makes management actually a interesting subject to learn about.
The class is easy and interesting. Offers lots of Extra Credit. He lets you talk about anything of interest that has to do with management. He also lets you decide how you want to do your papers/presentations. Take every class you can with him.
Very good Teacher. Kept class interesting. Highly recommended.
Tony rocks! He's the only instructor I have that makes you stay the whole period, and you actually look forward to it!! Lots of fun, interesting, thought provoking excercises in class and out. Lots of extra credit, almost impossible to fail this one!
Amazing class. kept my semester bearable
No Comments
Tony is the man!!! This is a grat teacher. You just had to listen, pay attention, and get involved in the discussions and you will do fine. I opened my textbook once you really dont even need it. The test are directly from the discussions in class. You can go to his office before and find out whats on the test a couple days before. Easy and Fun!!!
By far the best teacher i had at occ. just go to class and listen to what he says. he gives you a test review sheet the week before tests, and it covers the whole thing! easy A!
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!! so far my favorite class of college, this class was phenomenal, and fun. HE IS A GREAT TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great teacher. Took the online class. Just make sure to read the text and participate in all discussion. Online was great, prompt email response to questions. Made this class very enjoyable, I actually wished I would have taken it in-class instread of online because I'm sure the discussions would have been even better. Like I said, GREAT TEACH

One of the best!! he should get a great professor award or something, he is very helpful,connects with the students, and is really really funny, not boring at all, He is Da MAn!!
One of OCC's best! Presents material very well in unique, interactive-style format; class is rarely boring. PROS: -Straight-forward assignments (just put forth an effort-he's not a picky grader) and exams. -Extra credit opportunities. -You don't need to read the book. CONS: Strict attendance policy. Rarely lets class out early.
Awesome teacher. Smart dude, knows what he's talking about. Makes class entertaining as well, one of the funniest teachers I've ever had.
I took him for business management and loved it. He keeps the class really interesting, doesn't lecture, talks about current events. i would highly recommend him to any one, tests are really easy if you scan the book and pay attention in class. i'm definitely taking him for marketing.
I had him for marketing. At first i didnt like him, but i was wrong! Hes a great teacher, keeps class interesting. I wouldnt go as far as to say his class is "easy" because i definitely didnt think it was. I went to all his lectures, did all the work and ended up with a "B". Not an easy "A"..not for me at least. You have to study. Funny, and nice!
I took his on-line Business class that he offers. He is not a good teacher at all when it comes to on-line classes! He does not update his syllabus, he uses the same one for his face-to-face classes, so some things are different, but he never says what is due and when it is due. The syllabus that he refers you to go to, to find this information is
Best teacher I've had in College hands down. Motivated the class to debate and discuss current topics and made the material fun and easy. Funny as hell and a definate A with a little effort.
I took all the business classes that i could with him at OCC, he was a great teacher, really understanding. I got an A in all his classes.
Good teacher. Quick to answer emails. Fun class. Learned quite a bit. On-line class with a good mix of book and on-line resources used.
He is an awesome Teacher!!! and an easy A for me =)
He is an awesome teacher who has a great sense of humor, engages the class, and is very flexible. He gives out extra credit and has the best grading system. Assignments were actually very helpful, actually went with the book and class, were straight forward and interesting, as were the oral presentations.
The thing about Racka is that you learn so much, but you don't even realize it. You sit there and you run the real-life scenarios and learn everything. I personaly never read the book, but his lectures were so good that you didn't even have to. The guy is a saint, I am taking his third and final class this winter. I suggest that you take all three.
I Loved this class. He made business fun. Class was always interesting. Hes really funny. I recommend taking his classes. Little homwork, a few tests, some easy online work.
Mr. Racka is awesome! I was a little overwhelmed at first because i hadn't ever taken an online class, but he made it an easy transition. The class is fun and I agree with the others that you learn a lot without realizing it. And a side not for my lady friends, his voice is very sexy and that helps when he's giving the week previews.
He is super helpful and really good at teaching, but he does require a lot of participation.
Great class, great teacher! Take any of his classes. You learn a lot. The papers you write teach you a lot too. His in-class exercises are great too. It's a fun subject to learn and talk about because you use it everyday. Racka is a great guy, he is very nice, and funny. Never gets mad. Take this class!!!!!!
Great teacher and very interesting class. I learned a lot. Take this class!!!
I love Racka! He's a very entertaining and knowledgeable professor. I would take more business classes only so I could have him again!
Great teacher. My favorite!
My worst professor yet, take Marshall for business classes!!!
Amazing professor, and so enjoyable to look at! Highly suggest you take him if you can! :D
Fantastic teacher, always entertaining, and I actually learn stuff. Take as many classes as you can with this guy, he's very to the point and very fair.
I can't put my love for Racka in 350 characters. He's just an awesome prof. He walks in everyday and literally says "OK, what do you want to talk about." He teaches in a way that you don't even realize you're learning, but you are. More discussion based than someone lecturing at you. Relates material to today's world. Fair tests. Take this class!
Racka is a great professor. Possibly the best teacher I ever had. I had him for intro to BUS online, the class was so much fun, I learned a lot without reading the textbook once. Tests were fair, only had 3 tests. Tons of Ex Cred. Always give his feedback to assignments. Fair in grading. I highly recommend this prof.
It is fun to go to his classes, I looked forward to them. Do all the extra credit and all the assignments and don't worry about the tests. We don't talk about the book in class but if you read it you will do better on the tests. A+++ professor here
Interesting, dynamic, open to your opinions - Professor Racka is a superb instructor. Lectures are a must and tests are totally fair. Love him!!
He is an outstanding online teacher. I also had him for BUS 2520 over the summer online. Do all the work, test and extra credit that is given and you are almost guaranteed to get an A. He is very helpful and always email back. He also has a review sheet for all the test that you can look at ahead of time. I love his class!!!!!
Don't buy the book. Do the homework and extra credit. Study a hour for tests and you got yourself an A. Great teacher.
Best business teacher I have ever had! Puts the subject matter into a way any one can understand. I have taken two class with him, he is the only teacher at A.H. I will take for any business class.
Truly awesome. This class was a blast and I actually learned the material being taught. Anthony is the most helpful and fair professor I have ever taken. Lectures are not boring and assignments are fun too. Would I take him again? Yes, and I will.
TOOK THIS CLASS ONLINE AND THE PROF HAD LOTS OF DISCUSSION BOARDS TOPICS, YOU MUST MAKE A COMMENT FOR EACH TOPIC BUT TOPICS ARE EASY. TEST WERE GIVEN ONLINE AND TIMED. PROF PROVIDED STUDY GUIDE, REVIEW STUDY GUIDE AND TEST ARE EASY. PROF ALSO HAD US DO 4 PAPERS BUT HE PROVIDES AN OUTLINE OF WHAT HE IS LOOKING FOR, FOLLOW THE OUTLINE AND GET AN A
He is a very caring and helpful teacher. I would recommend him to anyone. Papers and tests are easy. He gives a study guide for the tests.
I took his Intro to Business class online. If you're a slacker, I wouldn't take this class since you have to respond to quite a few discussion boards. I found this class to be easy. However, I did learn a lot. I'm taking his MKT2520 class next semester because I like him so much.
What can I say? Racka is great! I agree with a lot of his management techniques and views. Class is easy and often fun from group discussions. You won't be sad if you take this class.
The class is fun and fast paced, however he won't lecture from the book, in fact you won't open it in class. Be prepared for the exams it's all about the book and nothing he talked about un class. I felt like I was teaching myself!
Racka is cool. Very helpful and works with students. He is a realist and focuses on key issues. I took him online and in class. I prefer his in class options more. He is funny too.
He usually gets the class to participate through small groups or discussions. He is a very easy going guy with a good outlook. The class was fairly easy, but he did not use the book extensively. The exams were easy, just a quick study session would be fine.
Racka is a great teacher. He uses real life examples of current businesses and the class is mostly talk and interaction. Took him for Marketing and Management. I would definately take him. One of the best at OCC!
He made the class easy, entertaining, and did his best to help us get As. Lots of extra credit opportunities, easy homework, and easy tests. Book is online and it's really helpful if you're interested in learning the subject. He's probably the funniest teacher I've had, yet he's extremely educated in business.
His teaching style is unconventional, but I'm actually understanding what's going on, and he doesn't just throw textbook definitions in your face. I normally hate giving presentations, but Racka makes it very laid-back. I like the online discussions because I'm normally quiet during class. I would highly recommend this teacher!
Wonderful professor...Would highly recommend! Energetic, fun and he truly cares about his students. Makes class interesting by using real-life situations.
The first thing he said in his class was the he can't teach us anything in 8 or 10 weeks and that wasn't true we learned a lot about life and how every culture plays an important role in everyone life.This is the teacher America needs.such an awesome class after-all he is a teacher who have the best life experience that can match up.need more space
I took this teacher based on ratings. My first test I received a low grade and when I contacted Mr Racka I was told not to worry do the work and extra credit I would be fine. I did EVERYTHING he asked....on-time and extra credit. I received a F. I believe because I had 45 credits 4.0 GPA and black! I am retaking with another instructor.
AWESOME TEACHER! I wish I would need more business classes for my degree!!The class was very easy with clear instructions on what to do. If you put a little bit of effort in it, you will be more than fine! Expect to hold 3 Presentations in that class plus additional Exams(+extra credit). TAKE MR RACKA! Awesome (hot;)) teacher
My favorite teacher at OCC so far! He makes class interesting and funny and it's never boring!He covers all the material in class.I never even opened the book.Be prepared to hold 3-4 Presentations(on your own and with a partner)and to write 2-3 exams.If you pay attention in class and put little effort in it you will be fine! AWESOME Teacher(&hot;))
Great instructor; kept material relevant instead of teaching from the text. Even made an effort to select a low cost, online only version of the text.
The class is pretty easy. We started off class talking about "business topics" but its pretty much what he heard on the radio that morning or a comment we have. Test number 1 was just a SWOT Graph Test number 2 was giving him a resume and your linked in account. The 2 presentations I did the night before. There is exc and discussion board points
Very easy class, honestly the only way you wouldn't pass is if you don't show up and don't do the small amount of work required for the class. Don't buy the textbook!! never even opened it. Anthony is a very funny teacher and had a lot of energy for 8 am. Highly recommend, don't know how a class could get any easy than this course.
He is an awesome teacher! I really learned a lot about management and his concept on teaching is very interesting not boring by it was an online class. He is one of my favorite online teachers I am enrolled with him for my third class. Make sure you participate, do your work and you will get a "A". I recommend him to anyone. Very prompt responses.
Great class to take over the summer! Professor Racka is clear and straight to the point on what is being discussed and when your assignments are due. He keeps things interesting by focusing on todays problems and ideas. I've taken a class of his on campus as well and he is not bad to look at :)
I learned so much about the business world from this class! Things i will take with me forever. He did not use the book very much, but referenced it. Great professor!
He is a great teacher! his class is easy and he focuses more on real world experiences rather than strictly on the book. His test are really easy they are more like assignments. most of his classes are hybrid (onlinein-class) so its great when you can just have class on the computer!
Racka is one of those professors that actually cares about his students. I would recommend him to anyone taking classes at occ!
This Prof is officially my favorite teacher ever. Funny, smart, personable. He actually said "This is an easy A class, but I want to see you learn in a practical way." Kept things clear and relevant.
He's an awesome instructor with a genuine love for business. Even if you're not going into business but are looking to take some elective courses this is the class for you! The material is easy to relate to since he covers current topics that you'll use outside of class no matter what your career field is. His lectures are very interesting and fun.
Fantastic professor, 80% of the course at OCC are complete garbage, his course is the other 20%.
Best professor teacher I've ever had. Very inspiring. You go beyond the business world in class and examine current day topics. First thing he says every class is "what do you guys what to talk about today?" I've taken 3 classes with him and will take more!
Dont buy the book. He uses current day to day issues to teach the class, Things the book couldnt teach you. The things I learn in his class, I will take with me forever! Tests are easy and I took him for BUS 1100 also.
Great professor, very interesting classes and helpful insight. Forums get a bit tedious (4-6 per week), but its one of the cons of online classes. Extremely manageable class; 3 papers, 3 quizzes, forum posts, and plenty of extra credit. I always look for his classes.
Second time around and still a great instructor. Grading is clear and very lenient, and offers a wealth of current, practical information. Easily the best instructor I have had thus far at OCC, and will really help you if business is your major.
This guy is the definition of an amazing teacher he is helpful and easy wants you to succeed gives a lot of extra credit and his test are easy just do all of your work and you will receive a good grade best teacher I have ever had
BEST BUSINESS PROFESSOR & ONLINE CLASS I have had. I love that he creates videos each week about the week ahead & about the week overall it helps you better understand what is all going on & to be expected. Email him a question & he will answer you in less than a day. He doesn't like tests, so papers & a lot of dissuasion boards which isn't bad.
really laid back, to a point where i wasn't learning ANYTHING. seriously i didn't understand any of the assignments. instructions weren't clear. I also didn't appreciate his comments about women, saying they all shop at target, wear slippers and only do stereotypically "girly" things. tbh, i couldn't stand this class.
Fantastic teacher. I've never learned more from a teacher. He thinks about teaching in a different way than any other teacher i've ever had. I've taken all three of his courses and would take more if I could. Thank you Racka!
ANTHONY RACKA!!! YOU ROCK!!! SHOW UP DO THE WORK GET AN A Take everything that is said with a grain of salt. HE IS AWESOME!! TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!!
Awesome online class! You are not bogged down with boring topics or definitions. Mr. Racka uses real world articles and videos emphasize topics in business. A lot of discussion questions for "attendance" grade. Reasonable papers and exams. I thought the class would be boring and it wasn't. Great instructor, great class!
Really nice professor. He is really funny. He usually jokes a lot. Not many quizzes or exams. You'll have group/individual projects for his class! He is really easy! If you show up and do what he tells you to do, you'll pass with an easy A. He lets you take your quizzes home and do it! I would definetly re-take his class. He's the easiest prof.
I came into this class very discouraged by the last 2 professors that I had. Professor Racka gave me hope again! He is funny and genuinely interested in his students actually learning. He wants what he teaches to be relatable to everyday life and wants to learn from his students as well. I looked forward to going to class each week! Tapas!!!
He's the best teacher I have ever took at OCC. His lectures are amazing. He likes to joke a lot. I would recommend him for everyone. He is always there for you. You will have 2 presentations but they are really easy. I wish all the professors like him.
He's a nice guy and makes lots of jokes. Lots of good reviews on here because you can literally spend 3-4 hours on classwork through the whole semester and get an A. Problem is I learned nothing, so if you actually want to go into business management I'm not sure if this is very useful. If you want an easy A, then go for it.
Attendance is not mandatory, but just shoot him a quick email if for whatever reason you can't make it just to make sure he'll send you the random homework. This is my third class taking of his and he is community college GOLD. He remembers everyone very personally and is easy to bond with. Easy to get a hold of and ridiculously easy with grading.
Selfish. Never willing to help students.
Amazing teacher, made the class fun while still teaching all the information needed.
Best professor at OCC. He made class fun and is super smart and caring. Gave me so much helpful advice. He probably the funniest instructor too which made it super easy to show up to his classes. Racka is the man.
The best professor at OCC! He actually cares about relevant topics and learning from them rather than just the required teaching material.
Great Professor and very funny. He is always asking for participation from the class. Very caring and gives good ideas.
This is a teacher to learn from. A+++. If you show up and participate you will definitely get a B+ or above Everything he teaches is pretty relevant.
Hes awesome! I really enjoyed the class and learned a lot.
Hes a funny professor. He has his own teaching style which I personally enjoyed. He makes the class more engaging and interesting. You will never be bored! If you show up to class and do the few assignments, then youll more than likely get an A. He provides you with notes and is very candid in what he academically expects.
This is one of the best professor hands down i've taken he's laided back and makes the class fun and you actually learn things so well, he's caring and is fair with the grading if you pay attention and do the work you'll pass with an A
The Best Teacher I ever had.!
Prof. Racka has a young spirit and teaches the same way. He wants to engage you in his classes. He gives a lot of homework, but as long as you do them, you don't even have to be in class, you will pass. He dismisses you early most of the times and a lot of his classes were on D2L. If you want to learn and have fun, take him.
He is a great teacher and makes the class fun. If you go by his instructions you will find the class to be easy. He is very outgoing and can have a conversation with everyone. His exams are fun and usually take home. I enjoyed his class very much and would love to have more classes with him.
Awesome professor. I have my own business and would get called out of class, or be called last minute for a meeting. He was an incredible teacher to have while going through this transitional period. Also, I think he is secretly a genius.
Had a great sense of humor and made class fun! Show up to class, participate, complete the homework, you'll get an A. Glad I looked here first. I Would recommend Professor Racka to anyone.
Best teacher I've ever had at OCC! Super funny, makes class enjoyable, and is super understandable! Would definitely take every class he offers! Absolutely amazing class!
First college course i took and it felt like an easy highschool class, i had an 8:30am and actually looked forward to it cause he made the class enjoyable
The class was so unorthodox which took me by surprise. His teaching methods work like never before and you really gain treasured information that carries you a long way, in school and life! Stay on track and youll be fine!
Racka is one of the best professors ive ever had. Class is always filled with jokes and a welcoming environment. I would take every single class he teaches if I was you. BTW get ready for dad jokes.
Racka is a great professor who blends humor with teaching in a way that makes students genuinely want to show up to class and learn. He focuses less on regurgitating facts and more on leading you to the right train of thought. He genuinely cares and wants the best for his students, encouraging them to improve their skills and build a great resume.
Take his class! I enjoyed watching his weekly videos. I learned and became inspired by his class. If I was to have any negatives about his class is the chapters numbers in the book are in Spanish and had to google my chapter numbers to know where I was at lol. Very easy going but fair. I will definitely take his class again if I needed to.
I've taken two courses with Professor Racka, and I am taking another next semester. I appreciate the level of engagement he has with students and the simple structure to his assignments. We disagree on a lot but the discussions are better that way. Business is done with teams, and his group assignments encourage teamwork and creativity. Great class
He's a great professor, basically if you showed up and did the minimal things expected of you as a student you passed. There were a couple group presentations and a few short essays. Also he gave a take home final. Must have book- assignments are in it.
He's very friendly/nice, cares about each student. You can tell he enjoys teaching. All-around great guy.
Mr. Racka is a great professor, I would say that at times in class he can be very difficult to follow, but over all he is a great guy and I would defiantly take another class with him!
I took his online class... it was interesting and once I got the schedule down it was simple enough to follow along. There isn't a ton of homework and the length of the things your right don't matter as much as the QUALITY of what you right.
Loved Professor Racka and would def recommend him to anyone. He truly made the class fun and understandable. I go to OU and took this course as elective credit, but it ended up being my favorite college class. Professor Racka goes to show you can be a "cool" and "fun" college professor and not everything has to be so serious all the time.
Professor Racka is an amazing guy. He cares about his students and wants you to learn real life application, not just textbook definition. His lecture are clear and too the point. He requires the textbook, but if you can't afford it I wouldn't worry about it too much. His lectures go over almost everything. He also offers LOTS of extra credit.
The best class/professor I have ever taken at OCC! I will remember the lessons and use the tools learned in this course. Lessons are applicable to real-life and are current with real business practices. The professor is more concerned with making the students leaders instead of managers.
He was awesome! Highly recommend!!! I almost took a class I didnt need just because he was teaching it.
Easy class, nice professor, very laid back.
By far one of the worst business professors to ever teach business, personally. Realistically I think the course is far over priced for the quality instructor you get, this is not an insult but fact to me through experience. Ive learned absolutely nothing, please note you are buying HIS textbook when you are going into this class.
If you get over that the book is written by the professor and is still 75 dollars then this class is going to be pretty easy. He has the project well laid out and discussion boards are not to difficult.
Best class ever, super easy. All exams were take home!
The fave who has been face-to-face so far. No exams or quizzes in any class and totally helpful in anything even not involved with courses. Need business stuff? Take his handful of face-to-face or online sessions!!
Racka is an awesome, down-to-Earth guy who relies on the real world rather than a textbook to teach business. Although he is the author of the textbook used for the class, its a very relatable book with chapters as long as 5 pages. Lectures are amazing and he is very relatable and willing to help students as long as they're willing to put in work!
I took BUS 2640 (online) this summer with Professor Racka. Truly, this class was very informative and straight to the point. The lectures were interesting, the projects were educational but manageable, and the exams were everything we went over (so pay attention). I hate online classes, but prof did amazing with it being online! Great class!
Mr. Racka was a dream teacher. He gave great work but he also gave information related to the real world. His assignments were not boring. If you show up to the class and do your work you will pass. He also gives a very detailed rubric so that you will understand how he grades. Take his class you won't regret it.
Easiest professor I have ever had. I made an A+ and put in very little effort. If you make less than an A in this class then you should honestly quit school.
Great guy and teacher. If you're looking for online classes as well he's one of the best if not the best for it. Everything is very clear, he does videos on essentially everything including the sylbus and even shows you cheap places to find the textbook etc. also responds fast and wants you to succeed
Really just a phenomenal teacher. Really cares about your success. This class was one of the best I've taken where I have came out of it more knowledgeable than before. The textbook is a Peter Drucker book on Management that has loads of useful info. If you have a chance to take this professor, without a doubt, do it.
Loved him! Very nice and super understanding. All his assignments were actually fun and very doable, none felt like chores. 10/10 will take again!
Great professor. I really liked the lectures and the homework, quizzes and tests were very relevant. He is a very caring and informative teacher. I would highly recommend taking his class.
Amazing Professor! I really liked the lectures and the book chapters; they were interesting to read and didn't make doing homework boring. There's jokes in his textbook. He is a very caring and informative teacher. I would highly recommend taking his class. Easy grader just do what he asks of you and you will get 100%
He really encourages participation in this class so if you like to talk and have open discussions this is the perfect class to take. he gives a weekly assignment but the reading you have to do is written by him so it still has that fun energy that you get when in class. he does seem to have favorites in the class though so so good luck if youre one
I had Professor Racka for MGT + MRKT at OCC. In my time here he is easily in the top 3. He is a rare type of teacher who wants you to learn the subject in the best way that you can. Homework, discussions, projects, and tests are all graded on how you can show your understanding of the material. Not just textbook memorization. He is just great.
Bro this is the only comment you need. Take the class bro, one of the best classes I have ever taken and it is really simple and easy. I bet you a band you will get an A bro.
Racka is very funny. There are EC opportunities. It was easy to get an A - he says so even himself. 2 papers, 3 PowerPoint presentations, 3 exams, and weekly discussion boards (make sure to get these done on time). Only complaint is that the syllabus and grading outline for the papers/PowerPoints are very vague.
He's an OK professor, but his lectures were very difficult for me to follow. I prefer to watch lectures with my headphones, but listening to his lectures was a nightmare with all of the mouth noises and excessive long pauses every few words. I think his teaching style was great but overall I wouldn't recommend taking his classes.
I went out of my way to take more of Mr. Racka's classes, he genuinely cares about your education and will give you the tools to either succeed or fail, which you have to be pretty incompetent to fail his classes. I was personally fond the fact he doesn't just read through a textbook, give you a quiz or test but yet lets you decipher.
Professor Racka's class is a breeze. The textbook he wrote is actually engaging, and his lectures are super relatable. Using Unstuck ai along with the course materials really helped me ace this class with minimal effort.
Professor Racka is an outstanding teacher—knowledgeable, passionate, experienced, and compassionate toward students. Even in an asynchronous online class, his feedback and encouragement added a personal touch. He's truly a gem at OCC, and learning about business in his class was incredibly helpful for life!
Super cool, no heavy workload, and easy class
Very cool class and definitely a cool professor. 100% recommended.
W TEACHER , best teacher I've had here at OCC so far. Very laid back, he explains complex ideas but puts them with real world examples to help you better understand. Clear, engaging and sometimes fun lectures. Very supportive, understanding, and respectful. WOULD (and did) take again.
Great teacher and genuinely cares about his students. I am in his online class and I love how he runs the weekly discussions.
Professor was hilarious as I enjoyed his lectures. Class is very much discussion based as the professor is looking for your honest opinions on the topics. Think outside of the box.
