Class was usually boring because he read straight off the slides. No textbook needed, exams based on slides. Make sure to study for exams they were decent. He's a nice guy but the class was so dry. He gave 2 homeworks and 3 exams, and 1 group project. Told us we would have in class quizzes but never did, we just had to click in for participation
Professor Taitt is amazing and really wants everyone to do well and is not out to get you. He gives great feedback and guidance. Had him for Supply Chain Finance and I would take him again. For exams, he tells you exactly what you need to know so there shouldn't be any surprises, but you should still study.
I took his Supply Chain Finance previously. I thought that he was a really good professor. He knew what he was talking about and the material itself was very interesting. Textbook is used very sparingly. I learned a lot from his class and he is probably the coolest teacher I've met so far. You won't regret taking his class.
Took intro to supply chain, and really liked this professor. He is good at explaining things but the material is quite boring so the lectures tend to drag on. He sometimes takes attendance more than once (3 times once!) so beware of dipping early. Tests are straight forward. he makes it a point to try to learn everyone's name. Very likeable guy
Best professor I met at Rutgers. Cares international students.
Really nice guy but he reads directly off the slides and rarely breaks away from it. No extra credit offered at all. Ive heard hes intro to SCM is one of he harder ones but its very doable. First test was shockingly hard then the next 2 were much better. Recommended for sure!
Taitt is a nice guy. He pretty much just reads off the slides in lecture, he is always willing to answer questions and even meet outside of class. He has 3 exams all worth 25%, so even if you do bad on one you'll be fine. Small, easy assignments throughout the semester that should be grade boosters. Willing to be a resource for you, so participate!
for an intro class, this class is too much. he doesn't give you review sheets before the exam. although he is super nice, that doesn't help you with your grade. A LOT OF work to go over each exam. make sure you take this class when you have easy classes for sure. there's also group project + hw... group project is not hard but again, so much work
Taitt is very friendly, wants you to do well, and cares about his students. Exams are like other RBS intros (multiple choice, T/F kind of tricky) but manageable. Definitely review slides and all terms/concepts. Group presentation was simple, clear instructions. Lectures can be boring but he provides real examples from the industry. Great professor.
Only one exam but it was 100% open ended and made (poorly) by him the night before. After the midterm there is no more learning and just presentations. Would not take again. Seems to ramble on and get off topic very easily making him miss important information that shows up on the exam. Makes the class stay after end time pretty often.
Thought this class would be easy, but it was too much memorizing and the HW/Pres. were graded stricter than expected--have to work for the A. Theres a lot of stress on participation. Taitt's friendly and wants us to succeed but he mostly reads off the slides (and you fill in the blanks during class). I found it boring, but I'm only a business minor
Professor Taitt is a very nice & friendly guy. Exams can be easy if you can memorize a lot of information at once. He expects you to participate in a 100 person class, and if he doesn't know you by the end you'll get part of your participation grade deducted. However, getting a B or higher is pretty easy as long as you do the work and study a bit.
So far one of my favorite professors at RBS. Does his best to keep lectures engaging, tries to get to know his students, and gives you straightforward guidelines on how to succeed in his class. My only complaint is that I didn't take the class sooner, since we had to move online this semester and it just wasn't the same. Definitely take his class!
Professor Taitt is one of my favorite professors at Rutgers. He really cares about his students, and he is a great guy. You do have to talk to get a good participation grade. His exams are easy as long as you study, and the assignments and group project (5% of your grade) are light. Would definitely take again
Taitt was great guy and really wanted to see his students succeed. He answered questions and was very approachable, overall great guy. The curriculum of the class (Introduction to Supply Chain" was not too bad at all and if you are up to date with the homework and review the slides going into the examinations you will be fine.
Professor Taitt is respectful of our time and teaches what we need to know. He gave us exact slides we should know for the test. He is one of the nicest professors I've had and it feels like a human is teaching, not just a boring lecturer.
He is the best Professor I have ever had at Rutgers. Clear on what he teaches. Gives real world examples and talks about corporate world. He is not at all boring. He gives good tips that might sound useless but are very helpful. He is accessible outside class and gives good guidance. MUST TAKE HIM ONLY
Professor Taitt is a great professor. He also adapted really well to virtual learning. Whole class is based off PowerPoints and you get a quiz each week but they're pretty easy and open note. Exams are both easy and open note as well. 10/10 recommend taking.
Professor Taitt is great. His class was very easy and manageable. He uses Prof. McLaury's slides and his homework assignments were based on the PowerPoint slides. As far as the exams were, they were easy and all open-note. The time limit is a little strict but overall doable. Very approachable and interactive with the class. 10/10.
Pretty easy A. I didn't really know what supply chain management was going in and definitely learned the basics. I took the asynchronous section, but he held lectures for it during two of my classes. I didn't watch any of them and got an A, so that should be an indicator of the course load. I heard he is a nice guy, just a bit dry during lectures.
Took during Zoom U. It was open-book exams so you do not need to really study at all. I don't imagine his exams being too difficult though when things are back to normal.
He refused to give details on what our project was supposed to look like or what we had to do on a project worth 40% of the grade. He said we should just be able to figure it out. After over of month of asking he finally gave instructions about a month before the 25 page paper was due. He also often would get sidetracked and not teach the material.
Professor Taitt is one of the most professional professors I have had at my time at Rutgers. He is extremely knowledgeable and gives great advice for those preparing to enter their careers. Course load is very manageable.
We had an asynchronous class, and I never had to contact him but he is very clear. Every module is perfectly organized for each week. The class was a very easy A as long as you did everything on time.
He was so bad, I wanted to give him a zero. But that's not possible. So, I give him a 1.
Professor Taitt is a great guy, and an even better professor. He generated lots of interest in the topic of Supply Chain, to the point where I switched my major to it. He gives great lectures, fair exams, and doesn't assign too much homework. Very accessible, will answer any question you may have, overall great experience.
There's one group project but it was very easy. There are fill-in powerpoints to take notes but you can watch the zoom and he doesn't take attendance. The exams aren't very difficult either!
Overall a wonderful professor. I got to know Professor Taitt over the course and he is a great person as a professor and as a friend to talk to. He is a very friendly person and I enjoyed his lectures. Exams are not hard as long as you study. I am not that smart and I ended up with a B+. you should take him
To say Professor Taitt is a wonderful Professor is a tremendous understatement. He is easily my favorite Professor at Rutgers Business School. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Supply Chain Management. He always takes the time to answer everyone's questions and is very charismatic. You won't regret taking SCM with Professor Taitt!
Professor Taitt is a very fair professor. This class was primarily made up of three tests, all non cumulative. Definitely all passable exams that require probably and hour or two of studying a few days before the exam. Everything else is an easy A. Taitt also knows a lot about the industry so he is a great resource.
Amazing. If you are an SCM major definitely get to know him more than just being a student in the class.
Awesome. He is the man for sure. The class was interactive and laid out nicely and was easy. I enjoyed coming to his class.
Very good and easy professor. Definitely take his class
Taitt is an excellent professor and is very interactive with his students. STUDY THE QUIZZES AND HOMEWORKS FOR EXAMS
Don't be fooled into buying the book. Just study the fillable slides you get by showing up to class or getting them from a friend. Study the slides and homework/quizzes and you'll do fine. Pretty easy class overall as long as you hand in the work and study what was mentioned. Group project at the end. 3 exams.
Content of the course can get wordy and boring but this man is so inspiring and will teach you a lot about life which is much more important. Cares about current events and cares that YOU stay up to date with current events too. Genuinely cares about his students and tries to learn peoples' names. Study the slides before the tests and you're good.
I would go to war for professor Taitt. Already looking for classes where I can take him again.
Taitt is a class act but his class is average.
Audited this class with a friend, very cool guy. Makes good references to society and pop culture. No clue how tests are like but attend one of his classes, you won't regret it!
Doesn't feel like an Intro level course. Taitt had great ratings so I took the class but all he does is throw nonsense content at you and is surprised when the class average is a 66. In addition, he talks so slowly and doesn't really do anything to guide you towards getting an A. I recommend taking online or with any other professor.
He is a tough grader, boring class with the whole 3 hrs, sometimes he runs over 3 hrs. Lecture is heavy, as you have to well prepare about the case studies to be discuss in class. And he is a harsh professor.
Boring lectures, not helpful, takes so long to respond to emails
he is a sweet man but super super boring . You will fall asleep in class but thats not his fault supply chain is boring. exams are way too difficult . you wont learn anything in this class its just memorization like a parrot. boring, dull, wont reply to emails, strict.
IDK his ratings were high. He's awful and you need to memorize every line from the textbook to do well.
Some of these ratings are very deceiving. He's very boring to listen to and doesn't do anything to help us succeed. His exams are straight memorization but difficult because there's a lot of content to memorize and the questions are very specific. Take class online if you can.
I have no idea how he became a professor. Reads off of the slides and his tests require you to memorize lines out of a textbook. No real world application. No longer interested in supply chain after this class. Has no grading criteria for projects.
He was a nice guy but his class was not so nice.
Boring, teaches off slides, and half of the class is student presentations that do not help with exams.
bottom g
This class was insanely hard for no reason. Professor Taitt as an individual is an amazing person, he's smart, cares about the topic but he cannot teach. The class is based on three exams all have a lot of weight, be ready to memorize the slides WORD for WORD because his tests are very vague. Liked him as a person but DONT take this class, do async
Taitt doesn't prepare you for his tests at all. I didn't do too well on my first exam, I went to him for office hours & he laughed in my face and refused to go over my answers. I asked him to help me to do better by suggesting weekly meetings with him and he told me to go make a friend in the class and study with them. too much for an intro course.
WORST professor I've ever had. Does not care about you or help you at all. Does not help you prepare for anything. Not sure why the rating is so high. Avoid at all cost.
He is an ok professor. He is knowledgable and gives helpful examples. The class seems like common sense when you are reviewing the material but the exam questions can be difficult. Everyone overestimates themselves because the material seems easy and then they end up doing bad on exams. I definitely recommend taking his class online if you can.
lectures are boring, three exams weighted heavily, the exams were extremely hard for no reason..... long group presentation
Professor Taitt seems like a nice guy but he just reads off the slides. Exams have more conceptual questions that involve some thinking but aren't too difficult. Taitt does not add any value to the course and he does not go in-depth regarding any of the material. The class isn't too difficult but you will gain nothing from him. He gets paid to read
Professor Taitt is a really nice person and wants you to succeed. His slides are very in depth and all he does is read off his slides and does not provide any more than just that
The 3.5 is a lie. He is awful. He's lied multiple times saying you don't need to memorize things and then it appears on the exams. Doesn't explain why points are taken off on assignments. I highly don't recommend, take this class online. He says participation is required and that he supposedly remembers all 200 people and which ones participate.
Avoid at all cost. Seems like a nice guy but not. Don't be fooled. Don't care about students but act like it.
Horrible teacher. All he does is read off of slides and requires you to come into class to hear him yap. Absolutely absurd that he can even be teaching because I have learned absolutely nothing useful through my time with him. His exams are not hard but he does not know how to mix up questions effectively so you just get repeat questions.
tbh just wait and take the class asynch later. class is just annoying. its not hard but he makes it way too serious for an intro class. 1 randonly assigned group proj. 3 exams (not cumulative) and no final. dont cheat bc a bunch got caught this sem
NEVER TAKE THIS CLASS IN PERSON WAIT TILL ASYNC CAUSE ALL THIS GUY KNOWS HOW TO DO IS READ OF SLIDES AND YAPS FOR 1HR 20 THEN PROCEEDS TO NOT CARE ABOUT STUDENTS. ALSO PUTS THE MOST RANDOM STUFF ON EXAMS FROM THE SLIDES AND MIND YOU 200 SLIDES EACH CHAPTER USUALLY FULL OF BS
Does not care about students. Only reads off slides. He gives you nothing to study for tests, just the slides and a few questions from the homework, which are also from the slides. He grades you based on how much he likes you and gives special accommodations to people he favors.
He was a really nice guy and was extremely knowledgeable about the business world in general. You have to go to class but all he does is read off of the slides which are extremely in depth for no reason. There's one group project done totally outside of class that you have to present, and he took forever to grade and then gave no feedback.
He doesn't know what he's doing. He gives only good grades to those who talk to him in every lecture. If he doesn't remember your grade don't expect a participation grade.
TERRIBLE TERRIBLE ONLY CARES ABOUT HIMSELF HAS THE BIGGEST EGO EVER FROM A PROFFESOR IVE EVER SEEN DO NOT TAKE HIM EVER PLS
DON'T EVER TAKE HIM!! He favors certain people, which makes it hard to get a good grade in participation. His tests aren't too hard but he doesn't help you study at all making studying really annoying. He seems like a good guy but its all an act.
I've never had a teacher who hasn't prepared me for an exam more than him. Just dont take him. He reads slides and expects you to understand it. In this class, you basically study by yourself, but attendance is mandatory, and participation is heavy along with attendance.
He doesn't teach expect to learn everything yourself with the slides he gives you. Not a terrible class but a terrible teacher. Also don't expect any accommodations or curves.
He just makes the course so much harder than it needs to be. Either wait for online or a better professor.
He gave me on 70 on attendance and participation. I've gone to all my classes, but I am quite shy, so don't speak during class. If you don't plan to ask or answer his questions, don't take his class. He also just reads off slides, making it impossible to pay attention since he goes so slowly.
He seems like a good guy, but he doesn't really teach anything. Don't expect to learn anything in his lectures but you have to make sure you participate in class. His test aren't difficult but very conceptual, which are things he doesn't go over in the slides.
ALL THESE OTHER RATINGS ARE TRUE THE WORST PROFFESOR OF MY LIFE WAIT FOR ASYNC TRUST OR TAKE SOMEONE ELSE SUPRISED HE STILL HAS A JOB
Great person, but the course material is flat out boring. 3 Exams that are 4 chapters each (~30 pages in notes) that make up 60% of your grade. Exam 1 and 3 averages are around 70-72. Wouldn't recommend if you want to get an A.
Professor Taitt is knowledgeable in SCM. The current events mentioned in class were valuable. The 6 Homeworks (30%) and the Group Project were relatively simple. The attendance was mandatory; however, the lectures were not too helpful towards exam preparation. The exams (3x20%=60%) were okay but were a bit tricky, involving a lot of memorization.
His lectures are interesting and gives great insight. 3 non-cumulative exams that are on the harder side, you have to really understand the material. Attendance reinforced by attendance sheet u sign each class. One team presentation per semester, but it's pretty straightforward. Very knowledgeable guy, u learn a great deal if u go to lecture
the exams are pure memorization so there really is no point to pay attention during lectures, just cram before the midterms. there's a group presentation but it's pretty easy and participation is a grade, although it's mostly just grading attendance. he has enthusiasm for SCM but the material itself is dense and boring. don't take it in person
Really cool guy, offered insightful career advice and reopened a late assignment for me. Interesting lectures and you can tell he has a lot of industry experience. Exams are mostly MCQs not super difficult but you need to really memorize all of the slides. Really easy group project + homework.
Honestly a terrible course, because what you learn in lectures doesn't match homework, textbook material, class slides, or exams. Felt like I was taking 4 diff classes in one. The hw is useless at preparing you for the tests, you're better off looking up quizlets instead of taking notes. I studied the traditional way and my gpa tanked ngl.
These ratings just show it depends on the student to like the professor. He was by far one of my favorite professors I have had! Always willing to help and if you pay attention and put some effort in you will be just fine. I never write ratings but he honestly deserves it.
This teacher is very weird, lectures are reallu not that helpful so just expect to be learning on your own. The exams make you memorize almost EVERYTHING on the slides, which makes the class alot of busywork. The actual subject is really easy but the about that he gives you is very hard.
Tough grader and the grading criteria are unclear! Don't take his class if you don't want your grade taken away!
Caring, friendly, and professional teacher who wants to equip students with the knowledge for successful professional careers. His lectures and slides do a good job of helping you understand the material and apply it to the real world. The course is very content-heavy, but everything has a purpose. Take this professor if you want to actually learn.
Good person, not the best at teaching though. The exams weren't a reflection of the lectures and consisting of him mostly reading off of the slides.
First exam didn't do well but after you get the grip on how he formats exams it's easy to study. Just take notes of every slide and format real world examples on chatgpt! after that I passed all my exams.
Easygoing guy. Attendance gets taken. 3 noncumulative exams (20% weight each) where you just memorize the slides, if everyone does bad he curves it. 6 short HWs and easy group project, but there is a participation grade that feels randomly assigned. Overall the class is your typical "memorize info and spit it back out on test" type of thing.
Highly recommend this professor. If you go to class and pay attention it is an easy A. Tests are extremely fair and are worth 60% and the remaining 40% is pretty much free points.
If you want to learn something, do not choose his classes.
I have no clue why his rating is so low. I'm a senior in my last semester and this class is by far the easiest. No attendance taken, an easy group project presentation, and the test questions come right from the slides. It has to be the freshmen with abnormally high standards giving the low ratings.
Took this as a first-semester freshman. Very easy course. Not really sure why he is only a 3/5. Realistically, the lectures are not needed. I ended up skipping nearly all of them. Just read the notes, watch his review videos that he posts a week before each test, and you're good. Homework is a copy-paste from the slides. Favorite teacher so far.
Don't listen to the positive reviews, there's a reason why he has 32 Awful reviews I'm taking it right now and if you don't dedicate your entire life to this course you will struggle and not have a good time
Lowkey great guy, dont know why the ratings r so mixed. Just did this course, got over 90% in both my midterms. He literally GIVES U THE ANSWERS AND EXTRA CREDIT, all u have to do is attend class. U might fall asleep once or twice tho.
Professor Taitt is truly one of the most caring and professional Professors at Rutgers. He wants every student to suceed to the best of their ability, and will never give you less than 100% of his effort. The class is straigtforward, and he tries his best to explain things in a clear manner with many examples. Overall, a very caring and nice man.
you cannot even access the homework, and the exam after u completed. I dont know why, maybe he just want us to review without materials. Dont take his course! He said he was rated 40 in the final rating on canvas, and he wanted get 90. There is no way he can get beyond 90. :)
Lectures were really boring, prof just read off slides, so I never went. Homework was easy, and there was one simple group project. Three exams, no cumulative final. Exams are a bit tough, but a B is doable if you actually study. Overall, not engaging but manageable.
He is a painfully average professor. Lectures are useless and boring. His homeworks are easy but the tests are annoying. Not difficult to score a high B in this class its just more tedious than anything else
The 5-star rate comment was a lie. There are no extra credits.
take him if you can
Great professor and probably one of the best in RBS. Explains concepts extremely well and doesn't just rush the slides. Exams are easy, just need to study the material for a few hours before hand. Great guy and wants you to succeed outside the classroom. Walked away from this class learning the most I had of all my RBS classes.
he's a good prof but can tend to make concepts more difficult to understand than intended
dont trust the 5 point review, they are paid shill, he's rate is actually an F, “ The class is at 52% now and I would like to get to 90% or above”. Which is what he said on canvas announcement
Three exams that are non-cumulative and straight memorization from the slides. Homework was copy and paste from the slides, and there's one easy group project. Professor is a great guy. Skipped most of the lectures and would study the day before the exam, got all As. Don't buy the textbook, you won't need it.
Overall, this class was at the difficulty level of an introductory college course. There are three non-cumulative tests, 6 homework assignments total (assigned every other week), and an easy group project. While lecture isn't necessary, he gives an idea of what topics are tested on the test, and the best way to study is through an AI quiz.
How come he becomes a professor with unpro skills? What a joke
