What Students Say

Started off strong, quickly became more of a self help class

BUS100 - 2.0 rating

Easy class for the most part, lectures were boring and have camera on zoom, 4 tests open book, lectures have nothing to do with test so you really dont have to pay attention on zoom, attendance big part of grade, very annoying about doing a rate my professor review for him , he sent at least 4 emails saying to do it

Professor Norwood is a phenomenal teacher. He is unapologetically himself and will tell you exactly how he feels, something I found very honorable and inspiring. He doesnt hand hold but is always extremely helpful, very understanding, and beyond qualified to teach. He may have strong believes but is open to opposing views and has so much to teach.

Professor Norwood was a great professor. Perhaps the only thing that I found negative was that most of the videos we had to watch took on a very conservative/right-wing perspective, and so I wish we learned more about other perspectives. Other than that I learned a ton about business in this class and would highly recommend him as a professor.

Exams are worth 40% of grade and are open-book. All the questions are taken word for word from the textbook. Discussion Assignments are simple and worth 16%. Watch a video, write a paragraph, and respond to 2 people w/ a paragraph. Longest vid was 45 min, shortest 15 min. Course Assesment is 12% of grade and is the most time consuming. Ez A+ class!

His lectures were always interesting and engaging and were easy to follow along with. He was great at getting you thinking about different things regarding business and the world around us. His lectures seemed more personally tailored to his students and how business applies to us and our lives, while the textbook got into the technicalities.

Definitely a very honest teacher from the start. Embrace his honesty as it'll make the course a lot more enjoyable. His coursework was not too bad and definitely manageable and is all organized very well. The structure remained pretty much the same for the entire 16-week course, which made it a lot easier.

Politics will come up fairly often (you have to watch PragerU vids every week), but you are free to disagree with him. He will often respond to Learning Journals with in-depth feedback.
