He's better than the best. Real world stuff. Highly recommended.
The best instructor I have ever had. Very knowledgeable of the real world. He mentored me in my profession with expertise that landed me in the position I was wanting to work. I am very fortunate to have had an instructor like him who is able to teach you things that no other professor can.
Great teacher, best teacher I have had. Brings real world experience, wants to help people succeed. He loves what he does.
I took him at NAU, i can honestly say he is the best teacher I've ever had. He is a teacher who will prepare for real life and help you succeed beyond the classroom. A great guy who helps you think outside the box and actually learn useful things, instead of junk from text books. Very highly recommended, wish i could take him again.
Aram is an amazing teacher. I took his class on financing start-ups and personal investment at ASU and I can honestly say this is probably the most useful and relevant classes I've ever taken. Plus he'll take time to meet with you outside of class if you need it or whatever else you need. If you get the opportunity, definitely take his class!
Best professor ever. Not only was information relevant the professor was approachable and the knowledge gained immense and useful.
Aram does not use textbooks. Instead he prepares the classes ahead of time from his personal knowledge and shows information visually with simple graphs and pictographs. Excellent instructor for people who learn best in an interactive classroom with visual information.
Best class I have ever taken. His lectures were so interesting and he really helped us to make sure we understood the material. By the far, the BEST professor I've ever had! Take him if you get the chance.
Great online lecture presentation and recorded for later review. Very valuable Information; shared learned insights. Grading made without feedback. No corrective guidance on quiz or tests. Emails usually answered timely; repeated promises of test review and followup never fulfilled. Haphazard scheduling and unexpected changes, including final exam.
This professor offered great online lecture presentation and recorded for later review. This contained very valuable information and allowed me to feel included in the course, but go at my own pace. Great course and very helpful information.
Professor Chavez is great at using real world, timely, applicable examples and not outdated, outmoded theory, although he presents them as well as a basis for the discussion. Many classes feature topics ripped directly from that day's headlines. His insight is balanced macro perspective down to the intricate details of his real world experiences.
Awesome professor! Uses real world examples, his lectures are fun to listen, not boring at all. He knows how to use technology for his online courses that make it easier to take notes and learn. One of the best professors I've ever had
Taking one of his clases as a senior. I can tell you that Professor Chavez is hands down one of the best, if not the best instructors I have had at ASU. I would recommend taking any of his classes.
Amazing Professor, Class was a breeze but learned alot . Highly Recomended
This was an excellent class, and a had a professor that was enthusiastic about his subject that he was teaching. I throughly enjoy it! Despite the class not being a creative drawing course. I learned a lot.
Great class, lectures are great, the notes are extremely helpful. All the material is repeated throughout the course so it all sinks in. Without a doubt I will keep taking him for my classes in my major.
great, Great, GREAT! instructor! Did not require a textbook for my course, he used current real world examples so a textbook was not needed. Tests and quizzes were based off what was discussed in class and class notes. Very motivated instructor and I hope to have him again.
Very pleased with señor Chavez as a professor. The first class I thought he was a little crazy only because his teaching style is so different than anything else I have seen. I soon realized that the way he taught with real life examples made my brain absorb the material much faster.
Chavez is the man teaches everything you need to know and applies to the real world. Would take him for every class I can
Awesome lecturer! Kept my interest in the class & subject, which is not easy to do. Hope to take more classes of his in the future.
Was awesome, loved his class, and he also loves pastries which will come in handy when negotiating with him.
Great professor, I hope I can have him in another class!
Instruction was "Real World" experience!
Prof Chavez is an excellent instructor who will keep you interested and entertained. He's funny, knows his subject matter and provides plenty of real world examples. For a subject that could be quite political, he is skilled at leaving politics to the side and teaching only the facts. I highly recommend this instructor!
Senor Chavez is an awesome teacher, class is mostly to do with current events, so its always different. His classes are in person or live broadcast. Also he really loves pastries, bring him some to class.
I have now taken "Señor Chavez" for two courses at ASU and both have been amazing. He has by far been my favorite professor I have had in my collegiate studies and hope I am able to take him again for a few more courses. I highly recommend you take this professor but just make sure you have access to pastries near by.
Great! Teacher. Very helpful and really knows his stuff. No textbook for the class because he teaches you his knowledge of the subject. I will try and take more of his classes.
Señor Chavez preaches a gospel of business! His speaking skills, motivation and passion of the course material made it very easy to understand concepts and stay focused. He challenged us to practice what we learned in class and then gave immediate feedback to steer our thoughts. I hope to have more courses with him; he has knowledge to share.
If you want to know how business is funded and run, this is the class for you. If not, it will still be interesting as Professor Chavez rips items from the headlines and discusses them, and will ask you to do the same in discussions. He is very knowledgeable and well prepared; most of the lectures flow right from his own experiences.
Take any class you can with chavez, if he ran for president, vote for him.
A learning experience, an eye-opener into real-world business, and knowledge you will use for a lifetime.
I highly suggest taking any course Senor Chavez teaches. If you don't you're missing out. Best professor I've had during my ASU Online experience!
Excellent instructor. Wish I would have found him earlier in my academic career. Great enthusiasm. He brings the real world of business into the classroom and keep everything relevant.
Almost everything I've learned about business and entrepreneurship from Arizona State University was from this professor. He gives you real world knowledge and teachings that you can actually use.
Senior Chavez has many qualities as a professor. First,he is very inspiring. Second,he is very knowledgeable and his experience in the world allows him to understand entrepreneurship from a whole new level. It is one of those classes that you always find energy to attend.I needed some help for my project and during his office hours he blew my mind.
After taking this class I finally felt like I actually learned something and will retain the information. Definitely got my moneys worth. Best professor by far and he actually cares about you. His goal in life is to be the best professor ever... In my eyes and the eyes of my classmates he has accomplished his goal. Life changing class.
Great lecturer, interesting, captivating, and gives real world examples and has real world experience. Would definitely take another class from Señor Chavez!
The best class I have ever taken. The best teacher I have ever had. If you have a chance to take a class with Senor Chavez, do it! He is the best, and you will learn more than you have in any other class.
Senor Chavez is an awesome professor, Have taken 4 of his classes and they all have something new to offer you. He teaches you about the real world in real time. He loves to hear about your dreams and will help you get to them if you want his help. Quiz/exams are his notes. I use his notes outside the class for business because they really do help
Excellent Teacher
Awesome! I wish I would have taken more of his classes - extremely business savvy, excellent clear, concise delivery of topics and willing to help in anyway he can. Tons of real world examples and cases discussed in class.
By far my favorite professor. He is always extremely enthusiastic about teaching and is so nice. He provides excellent feedback and is always willing to help. He will teach you more than any professor at ASU. I highly recommend him! I'm going to take more classes from him!
This was the best Entrepreneurship class that I have ever taken. This is real life and non text book information.
I have now taken 3 courses from Senor Chavez and am really disappointed that I won't be needing to take any more classes he offers. The best thing about his classes are that they are real life applicable, down to earth, and interesting.
Absolutely love his method of teaching, very realistic, very easy going, very important concepts explained, great class, awesome hot! teacher. I am taking all his classes.
Great Professor. Teaches real life principles, concepts, and processes to succeed in entrepreneurship. Grades fair.
Best instructor at ASU! Instructor has real world experience that he shares with the class. First online course that I've actually been able to participate in the live class through video feeds. HIGHLY recommend Mr. Chavez' classes.
Solid teacher, sometimes hard to understand the message, but he summarizes to bring it all back into perspective.
It was a great learning experience! I got to know different perspectives and a better understanding about world around me.
Lectures are based on current events.
One of the best instructors I've ever had! Very inspirational and fun class!
Excellent teacher. For the most part extremely clear. However on some of his quiz questions I could not find the answers in the lectures. Maybe it was just me missing it but a quick Google search got me back on track. When choosing my classes I always look for an Aram Chavez class first.
OMT 440. Class lectures are recorded and posted for viewing for online students. This made it much more interactive and easier to learn. The lectures were intriguing with real world information. Very interesting class and a great teacher. Would recommend any class with Senor Chavez.
where to even start? The class was fun and informative, I think I learned more in these seven weeks then I have in some full semesters.
I really enjoyed this class. I learned a great deal from the lectures and real time examples that Professor Chavez used. I would definitely recommend this class for anyone thinking about doing any business Internationally.
Very interesting. Had good visuals. Made this topic fun to learn.
Every time you go to class, have current events ready to go. He will tie those current events in with exactly what you need to know in the real world.
One of the best classes I've ever had. Learned and retained a lot of real-world information. Classes were fun, interesting and made me look forward to next class. I would take this class again.
Senor Chavez is by far the best teacher I have had so far at ASU. He goes out of his way to help students and his lectures are incredibly informative. If I had to pick just one class to take before starting a business, it would be his TMC 320 class. I look forward to his other classes in the future.
Good life lessons
I most enjoyed getting straight real world information that has already benefitted me.
Senor Chavez is hands down my favorite professor. So respectful and professional all the time. He is so full of knowledge and relays it so well. You will not regret taking any of his courses!
Senor Chavez uses real world examples which students can relate to. Senor Chavez's lectures are interesting and I learned a lot in these short 7 weeks. I think he makes classes interesting and interactive. He also gives good financial business advice for free to students in his lectures! I Love this professor! Would definitely take him again!
Professor Chavez is is unlike any professor I've had before. I have never had a professor engage me so much, I learned more in two of his classes than I have in years of college courses in Business. The education system should be restructured around what they are doing with the Entrepreneurship program with professors like him.
Professor Chavez is the most innovative teacher in the country at the university level, without a doubt!
I have been in a few of Chavez's classes now and he is continuously unavailable. He has gone MIA twice now, for weeks at a time (during a 7.5 week course). His classes are not hard, just take notes from lectures and have a flexible schedule because he gets behind on posting lectures etc. Offers very little feedback and his grading is inconsistent.
Awesome professor, enough said.
His excellent teaching skills and courteous personality has helped me tremendously through my educational life in ASU. He is a remarkable professor and I am very grateful to had him as instructor of 5 of my courses. I have learned so much from him and will definitely take more courses with him.
Great relavant, easy to digest, practical material. This is the kind of stuff that you don't find in most business classes. After attending the class I feel that I am ready to employ the materials taught. Aram did a great job filling in the cracks and holes in my knowledge of business and marketing!
Señor Chavez was an awesome instructor! I will definitely be taking more of his classes.
Innovative, interesting, and lectures are fun. You will learn the class material, no text book, you will write your own book with notes. Big fun, interesting, and wish all teachers used this method of teaching class. Professor works hard and comes prepared. Teaches real life business, you will learn skills, and you will have fun.
It is very rare to have a well established 'Angel' Investor teaching students at a University. Chavez knows his stuff and I find him to be one of favorite professors EVER!!! Entrepreneurship is the way to go and using your creative mind to create your own business. Thank you!
One of the best professors when it comes to real world experiences
Señor Chavez is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He not only provides truly useful lectures based off real life experience, he also always available to mentor students on their path towards entrepreneurship.
Sr Chavez brings real life examples to the learning experience enjoy his stories and how they fit in the global scale of things.
Absolutely love this teacher, took all his classes!!! he is funny, handsome, gives you real life, real time examples, has great stories, he obviously is a very successful businessman. That's a lot to learn from him, I can't get enough of his classes, I wish I could take his classes on campus. Oh, and he is HOT! Oh, and he is humble about it!
Absolutely love this teacher! I took all his classes and I wish he would teach more classes. He is hilarious, his teachings are from real life, real examples. You learn a lot by just listening and digesting what he says. Oh, and he is HOT! I don't think he knows how HOT he is, but he is really HOT. Amazing teacher, a very successful businessman.
Chavez is by far my favorite professor at ASU. He truly brings academia to the real world through his great experiences and examples. Chavez is always willing to go the extra mile for his students so be prepared to have good interaction with him. He's funny, articulate, and engaging.
Aram is the chillest. Real world knowledge that actionable and memorable.
Going into this class I didn't really know what to expect. This has been one of my most memorable professors and inspirational classes. I highly recommend taking any of his classes, you will not be disappointed.
Senor Chavez is a great professor! I took his OMT 440 - Intro to International Business course online and loved it! He had lectures that came from real world experience and you weren't learning out of a book - woo! Seriously just pay attention to his lectures and take good notes, you'll do great!
Can be difficult to define a point at times
Aram's a great professor. He keeps his class engaged and the content is interesting. The workload is reasonable and he stresses understanding of key concepts versus just doing the doing.
Senor Chavez is a great professor! I took OMT 440 Intro to Intl Business online. I had zero interest in Intl Business before this class. This turned out to be the best, most relevant class I have ever taken! His lectures are filled with real world experiences and stories. No book needed, just pay attention to the lectures and take good notes.
I really loved and appreciated the current real world examples integrated into the lectures.
Amazing professor who helps you to understand real world situations. You leave class with knowledge that you can immediately utilize. Second class I have taken with him and have enrolled into one more before graduation. If you want to better yourself with an amazing professor take a class with Senor Chavez.
I have never left a review on here, but I must say that that Señor Chavez might be the best teacher I've ever had. He has such passion for the subject, and made me actually enjoy learning the material. He always gives real world situations for each topic so that the material is understandable and relatable. Nothing but good things to say.
Señor Chavez is well known and well respected by his students. Charisma, humor, and passion make him a great professor. His lectures are real world experience and knowledge, pay attention and truly try to understand and apply the info and you will do great. I only wish he taught more classes so I could have him for all of them.
I really liked the fact that this professor really made you think outside the box, connect the dots, and discuss current day topics as well as history in the business world. Very interesting class!
The lectures were practical to real life business scenarios. I have worked in international business before and this instructor give important information a person needs to know in order to do business in the international arena. Where money flows in business is a key insight to how markets are doing and functioning.
Applies current events to class. We created our own textbook from our classnotes. I was not excited about taking this class, but am so glad I did!
Professor Chavez is going to change your point of view of the world and how business work. He is going to give you the way to achieve your dreams and make you a leader. His doors are always open.
I'm a computer science student and decided to take this class to know more about entrepreneurship. I loved it! The lectures are awesome and no background knowledge is required.
Very knowledgeable instructor; gives real world scenarios; very accessible; loves pastries
Donuts!
Señor Chavez is the best professor whom I've taken a class with.
Senior Chavez gives real time views of current events and market news. He expects students to keep up with daily international news and global events to participate in lectures. It was a very interesting class and I learned alot.
Interesting and fun
Almost all of his classes are lecture but they are entertaining. He doesn't use a book to be prepared to take alot of notes.
very knowledgable and clear
The best teacher at Arizona State University hands down. Any class taught by Señor Chavez will get you ready for the real world. He teaches for you to succeed in life, not just school
Senor Chavez is truly a hallmark in teaching Entrepreneurship in the 21st century. Cuts through the fluff and gives you the brass tacks. Highly applicable material and immersion learning. This is what hands on learning should be in an online format.
Honestly, favorite class/professor. I wish I had more professors like Chavez. He keeps the class engaged, he teachers a not-so-exciting topic in a fun, unorthodox style. His lectures are more like conversations than anything.
Professor Chavez brings real world experience to his classes. This is something that is sorely lacking in higher education, but needed in order to prepare students for their careers.
He is such a great speaker. He makes you want to listen to him. I have learned more from him in the one class I took of his than I have in my other classes. In fact, what he teaches incorporates into the whole TEM program and he makes the next classes in your major make more sense.
One of the very few professors I've had that focuses so much on real work skills and scenarios. His style of teaching and the materials he teaches with is some of the best I've experienced so far. Every ASU student should experience being in Señor Chavez's class.
Senor Chavez is one of the greatest! love his lectures all real life, real time!
Awesome teacher! interesting lectures about real life sutuations
Incorporates real life in to the college fantasy.
He is a great professor, who really understand students. Great person. :)
Absolutely fantastic professor. Knows his stuff.
Great professor! All his experience add a lot in his class, that are really inspiring.
I think he inspired us to see beyond our expectations. He taught me to look for the blue ocean, and especially, that being entrepreneur without quitting your current job is compatible, until you have success on what you want.
Aram is probably one of the best teachers I have ever had. He teaches real world concepts and will help you with any ventures and how to succeed in the business world.
Best prof at asu
Senior Chavez is a great teacher! He uses practical knowledge and tells you like it is. There is a ton of information and you'll find yourself taking lots of notes as this is vital to the quizzes in the class. Senior Chavez gets you as a student to believe that you can be a player in the world of finance. Great teacher!
A professor who truly has experience in start-ups and is always available for feedback and guidance. Wish we had more classes with Senor Chavez!
Professor Aram Chavez provides to students the necessary tools to go out into the real world and succeed. He helps students understand the real idea behind possible paradoxes and does it with a positive attitude.
Fantastic professor. I was honestly losing interest in school and it became mundane, waiting to pass everything to just get my bachelors and get out of school. He made me love what I loved about school originally, learning about things I care about and what I can apply outside of school. He provides lots of real life experiences also loves to help.
Professor Chavez teaches real world business concepts in a simple and exciting way. I have learned more from him that I have any other professor at ASU.
Aram was really engaging in his lectures and focused on the practical points. I love how he went off of the lecture videos rather than some boring textbook. He was a great help when I needed it! I would recommend his class :D
Great class and amazing teacher. He really knows what goes on in the real world unlike a lot of other professors.
He's a fantastic teacher and I would recommend his lectures to all my friends.
had 3 classes with Senor Chavez. I probably learned more usable information from him than any other professor
Señor Chávez teaches with passion and enthusiasm, and the lessons learned in this class are highly applicable to life. I've never had a class more dynamic and interactive such as the one provided by Chávez. If you're looking to learn more about finance, smart money, investments and more, I cannot suggest or think of anyone better than Señor Chávez.
I truly respect Senor Chavez. He has a very captivating way of speaking that you cant help but pay attention.
Professor Chavez walks the talk -- he has real-life experience in the world of start-ups and his enthusiasm in the field of entrepreneurship is contagious. Additionally, he delivers his instructions in an entertaining and logical way. Professor Chavez has definitely inspired me to pursue a start-up as well as private equity investment.
He is awesome!!!
Senor Chavez is the best! His lectures are very clear and provides real-world examples about entrepreneurship. Though his voice in lectures may be a little bit intimidating at first, but trust me, you will enjoy his lectures as the semester progresses.
Señor Chavez is an amazing lecturer. His classes are engaging and meaningful.
I really appreciate the lecture style and how he brings his real-world experience to the classroom. It feels like I'm learning how to be successful in business--not just in the class. Feedback on quizzes is very slow and there was some lecture confusion.
Senor Chavez is a Great instructor. Very engaging, and passionate about each course he teaches. I strongly recommend any course he teaches. My favorite professor at ASU.
Excellent communication, great lectures to listen
Senor Chavez is the most influential instructor I have ever encountered. This is my third course with Senor Chavez and I can honestly say I actually learned more in his three courses than I think I learned throughout the duration of my college career. Senor Chavez presents his material in a way that makes it understandable and memorable!
Tremendous insights. Knows how to convey key concepts for your post-college retention. You'd be missing out not taking at least one class from him.
Thought he was entertaining and engaging. Liked his passion for his role as a faculty member and as an entrepreneur.
Professor Chavez has real world experiences with building startup companies and helping grow companies to become successful. Professor Chavez' lectures are amazing because he teaches entrepreneurship using today's proven startup models. I recommend you take his course to learn how to start something! Professor Chavez rocks. He inspires learning.
A truly great teacher. This is one of the few classes at ASU where I actually wanted to go to class. The course was so relevant and he would take today's current events and somehow always work them into what we need to learn.
Professor Chavez is a great instructor. He keeps all his classes very interesting and interactive. He involves online students in hybrid classes which is great. He is very responsive to emails. He teaches real life information regarding entrepreneurship, Int'l business, and funding. I highly recommend classes from Professor Chavez.
Lecture only. At times Senor Chavez speaks slower than I can listen and comprehend. The lectures are only available via the media player built into ASU's online platform (no playback speed setting). Google how to download Adobe Connect videos. Can't post links here. Then use a player with playback speed controls. You're welcome :)
Awesome Professor I wish I had him for all my classes
This was a required course for my major. I honestly did not have an interest in International Business and feared this class would be boring. However, Senor Chavez made it worth while. I am an online student and I viewed recordings of his on campus lectures. The lectures were definitely not boring and helped me to understand the material.
Lectures sometimes lack focus and cover redundant topics. Course is theory based so grading and passing is simple. Useful information on topic though.
He is the man
I've had Senior Chavez for two classes and can honestly say that his lectures are more interesting than any other class I've had. He relates the content to current events, his life, students lives and avoids assigning "busy" work. He is clear with expectations and more than willing to share his vast knowledge and experience.
Senor Chavez is an excellent professor. Has many great insights into the world of business and finance.
Professor Chavez was a big inspiration to get into the business world, his classes are easy to follow, his speech is clear and enthusiastic.
I would suggest this professor to anyone that wants to start or own your own business. If you are working on your own startup then that essentially becomes your homework. It is wonderful to have a course with real-life practical applications as you are taking the course. Aram will bend over backwards to help you be successful.
He is a a very good teacher. The lectures are interesting, but more importantly relevant to the degree. I recommend taking his classes. He usually doesn't assign that much homework. The quizzes are not timed, but can take hours to complete.
I have learned more from Señor Chavez than any other professor thus far in my college career. He isn't only a Professor but also a mentor and a friend. For any courses you have that give you a choice in professor, choosing anyone other than Señor Chavez would be a mistake on your part! Take his classes to get the most out of the TEM program at ASU!
Great Teacher, best lectures I have listened to and highly relevant to anyone.
This is one of the BEST professors I have had the opportunity to be taught by, he is not only all of the tags above, but really applies everything he speaks about to real life, real time and up on all current events. His methodology of teaching is outstanding, I wish he taught all the TEM,classes on campus, we would really have great globalist!!
Provides great material that will teach you more than you will learn in so many other classes combined. The class doesn't have a ton of homework, so you will be able to pass if you simply attend, pay attention, and allow yourself to learn. Definitely worth taking and will probably not be your only class of his if you this if your first one.
The best professor I've ever had. I had incredible and amazing other professors in my academic life, but Professor Chavez has a totally different way to teach and inspire. Makes us to think outside the box. SAÚDE!
Love this processor and I am happy of have taken this class.
I just loved the class and learned so much. One of the best online teachers I've had and I have had many.
Very great experience and even better way of putting it in digestable terms.
Best teacher I have ever had. He is so passionate about what he does and he really motivate students. Assignments are easy, and lectures are amazing.
"Funding the enterprise" is one of the most valuable financial class in the universe. Uncle Chavez is patient, passionate and intelligent. In class, he combines those knowledge he thought will be useful in your entrepreneurial career, beyond the restrict of the book and education system. In person, he is always willing to help you out as he can.
It was a pleasure to have had the opportunity to take a class with Señor Chavez. Definitely one of the best professors at ASU! He has a way of teaching and engaging students like no other professor. Attend and participate in everything he assigns and you will walk away with a high grade and most importantly, an amazing foundation for Finance.
senor chavez is the best teacher at ASU hands down!
Great course, inspirational, professor stays in touch and available to help us out afterwards.
I have taken multiple classes that Chavez teaches and they never disappoint. You won't skip class because you won't want to! You'll always leave class feeling like you gained important knowledge. He teaches real-world real-time information that is relevant and current. His classes are something you could put on your resume, unlike most classes.
Very clear and concise. Pragmatic approach and easily applicable information.
I was very worried at first because I didnt know what to expect but I am so happy that I took this class! Every class was VERY interesting and I did learn a lot! You need to prepare to take a lot of notes but overall this class was fun. Dont skip any of the classes because you will miss out on a lot of content!
Pay attention; notes are vital!
Pay attention; notes are essential!
Great
Really involving lectures.
Its a fun class, bring food.
He is the best!
Great class, well worth it!
Great teacher, You learn a lot about what goes on in the world and good business advice and things to pay attention to while dealing with domestic and international business.
Lecture intensive class, notes are absolutely critical to midterm and final; especially any diagrams or charts. Will readily clarify any questions asked.
Chavez is a great professor who knows what he is talking about. His lectures are entertaining and go by quick. Make sure you go to class tho because his mid term and finals require you to rewrite your notes in a green book. Overall would take again. Fun class.
I would take as many classes that I need that this professor teaches. I recommend for sure!
He is a great professor. You have to show up in order to pass. However, the lectures are very insightful and interesting. Make sure to bring pastries to class.
Should be the model of Professor teaching at Arizona State University.
Lectures are good, just take notes and you'll be fine
Aram Chavez is very much a jokester, and is not afraid to hold back students that show up late to class. In addition Aram chaves is a stickler wbout notes, as his midterms rely heavily upon you taking good notes.
Professor Chavez is a great motivator and well informed on current and past affairs regarding international matters.
Chavez is a great professor who knows what he is talking about. His lectures are entertaining and go by quick. Make sure you go to class tho because his mid term and finals require you to rewrite your notes in a green book. Overall would take again. Fun class
Chavez is one the best professors I have had at ASU and continues to amaze me every time I come to class
Fantastic class, learned more in this class than I have in an entire semester of past classes.
Great teacher. Took two of his classes very nice and makes the material interesting to learn.
Señor Chavez is awesome
Was never interested in finance/business until I took his class!!! He's a truly standout instructor!!!
Was never interested in finance/business until I took his class. He's a truly standout Professor!!!
Aram Chavez is not only hot he truly does know the world of international finance. His classes are invigorating and stimulating. Great brain food.
Senor Chavez is different than other professors because he has a ton of out-of-academia experience, which you will benefit from. You will learn a lot and be inspired. But he is not always organized (including syllabus) & he sometimes doesn't clearly answer questions or engage in discussion on conflicting thoughts. He is eye candy and is very nice.
Moved final exam date up with only a 2 day notice and had a 6pm deadline. Most online students have weekday jobs. Missed the exam, causing me to drop from an A+ to an F. Extremely disappointed as he has not made any attempt to help. Never graded things on time but we aren't allowed to take anything late for even a fraction of the full credit.
Senor Chavez is someone you want to have a connection with, due to his professional experience/knowledge in the real world. His feedback and lectures are something you can't necessarily get from a textbook. I highly recommend his class. No tests, only weekly quizzes and discussion. Approachable and easy to talk to.
Prof. Chavez was fantastic! By far one of the BEST professors I've had at ASU. His extensive knowledge was remarkable. His personal insight & experience not only strengthened the material, it solidified the reason I chose Technological Entrepreneurship as my major. He graded & answered emails promptly & genuinely cared about students learning.
5 hours of lectures a week that are a must to do well on the tests, clear & reasonable tests, and easily accessible for questions. The best real word finance class there is. Full of insight, encouragement and valuable information. The most valuable class of my college career.
Señor Chavez has great, very real-world applicable lectures. You need to watch every one of them to understand the quizzes/tests later. Very reasonable workload but you learn a lot in his class and he'll keep you laughing during the lectures.
Senor Chavez is an engaging teacher with a wide range of knowledge. If you have the opportunity to take any of his courses you should. Great lecturer and fair on quizzes and exams. If you take good notes his classes are a breeze but if you don't you better pray for a photographic memory.
Wow, take his class. You will learn so much about the real world examples he provides. He is very passionate so he tends to talk about a few different topics at once, that cause him to lose his train of thought, but overall, he is the best professor I have ever had. Make sure you take REALLY GOOD NOTES, that is key for passing is class.
Great teacher! Love his classes
Really Great Class! Sometimes professors bog you down with so many requirements that you can't seem to learn actual content. This class gave you work that you could research and actually learn instead of hurrying so you can get to the next assignment.
Senor Chavez is a knowledgeable professional both as an instructor and beyond the classroom. Generous and very explanatory with both academic theory and real-world experience. Note of caution: Go to class, and take and use your own notes. You'll refer back to them later.
Senor Chavez was an exceptional speaker and was able to clearly relate topics he brought up in class and use them in a real world setting. He was very knowledgeable about the subject matter and was able to answer questions with ease. I liked his class because he broadened my world view and taught us things that we'll be able to use in real life.
I ordered books I didn't need. Get the word out earlier if no books are required for the course. The lectures and links provided, covered all of the required material.
Senor Chavez is a great guy! He really teaches you about interational business and you remember everything in class. He also helps students start businesses or gives great advise about starting business.
Amazing class. I honestly learned more about business in this class than I have in my whole life. Senor Chavez is a great teacher who is very passionate about what he does. I love that fact that he lives and breathes what he teaches. If you participate, ask lots of questions, and bring him pastries it will be a phenomenal experience.
Senor Chavez is an amazing professor. He does not use a textbook & the way he does his lecture is quite astonishing. He only looks at his written notes and his lectures are so smooth. He is the most inspirational professor that I have ever seen at ASU. Very passionate professor. I wish I had him for all of my classes! Highly recommend!!!
Senor Chavez is one of the best professors there is. Extremely knowledgeable about the subjects he is teaching. I highly recommend that you take his class. Without a doubt the best class I have taken at ASU
Senor Chavez is by far my favorite professor at ASU. This was the second class I've taken with him and I was not disappointed. There are lectures to watch each week and a quiz at the end of each week. The quizzes take some time to complete, but they are not timed. Relevant material and would highly recommend.
Senor Chavez demonstrates that he genuinely knows what he's talking about through his experiences. It was always interesting to hear how class topics relate to actual things he's encountered. His breadth of knowledge really shows in his lectures, he's always enthusiastic, and he is a fair grader. Weekly tests/discussions come straight from lecture.
Awesome professor, great information entertaining lectures, real world applicability. Senor Chavez is one of the best parts of the TEM department. Everything is straight up and there are no unexpected corners as everything moves at a natural pace. Definitely one of the best professors on campus.
What a faculty and a person too. One of the best teachers in my life.
I feel like Senior Chavez would be a great instructor to learn from in person, but he doesn't give much time/attention to his online classes. It's an easy A, but Chavez is the slowest grader I've ever had and all lectures are recordings from in-person classes taught last year ... the majority of which discuss current events from the time.
Señor Chavez classes have good lectures, he is busy but available and you must stick with it. His experience is what sets him apart and make this one of the best classes I attended in the TEM major. Online students must take the time to talk with instructors/peers, Aram is one not to miss as you develop those relationships.
Online lectures are some of the best I've watched. He's a really engaging speaker and is quick and to the point while still getting solid information across. I would like to take his class in person. My only annoyance was that he took a long time to grade assignments. Overall, I enjoyed the course and learned a lot w/o tons of "busy work".
Not only is Chavez is a very successful individual, but, all of his teaching material is self-learned from his own real-world experience. I have never had a class where if I was sick or class was canceled that I would legitimately be bummed out. Every single lecture is an eye-opening experience of how the business world really works. BEST TEACHER!
Good instructor. Speaks from experience and ties it into a class curriculum. Uses the lectures to form a basis for research. Worth the time attending his course.
Amazing professor. All of his classes are totally focused on real-world issues and no wasted time on irrelevant content. He loves to bring in his personal experience to help highlights the content
Very insightful classes. You get real world info from every lecture. Isnt boring and teaches you actually what you should know. One of the better teachers at asu for sure.
You want to show up to class. He gives so much information each class that pertains to real life that you can apply immediately. He is amazing at lectures and the class is a breeze if you are listening to what he is saying. The class is basically the notes you take in class which means you have to show up.
Professor Chavez is an awesome Professor at ASU when it comes to topics on business as he is a real-life entrepreneur. It has been a great pleasure to have been a part of his course and getting to know him on a professional level. This is a professor that you will want to get to know and ask for help if you are serious about being an entrepreneur.
Professor Chavez is a real-life experienced entrepreneurship professor at Polytech. It has been a great pleasure to know him on a professional level. He spends an extra half an hour outside class to answer all your question every time without any hesitation that you will want to get to know and ask for help if you are serious about your startup.
The ease of use in the Course
Professor Chavez is fantastic. He is hard to meet with in person outside of class because of how busy he is but in class he is engaging and dynamic. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn. He has been one of if not my absolutely favorite all time professors. Don't be afraid of his loud voice or forward nature, he'll grow on ya.
Great professor that teaches from real-world experience. Although one piece of criticism is some classes seemed "freestyled" and could have been planned out better. Some days there's a lot of notes but other days I had less than half a page of notes.
Great Professor! I recommend taking any one of his classes.
**TAKE THIS CLASS HONEST REVIEW** I would classify myself as a B letter grade student who is just trying to find the easiest but most interesting classes. The final for the online course is going to be all your notes from day 1. Quizzes are an easy A if you watch the fun lectures. Yellowdig participation is necessary, but offers interesting topics.
This is the first time I have had Aram Chavez. He brings a great deal of insight to the coursework. His final exam was a pleasant surprise, but took some dedicated effort. His interest is in the student's ability to understand the material, and he has an easy-going and simplifying way of approaching the material. His lectures prove very useful.
Great Class would take again
Not your typical professor. He has shaped my understanding of business and is very real. Not an academic. Gives it in plain language from EXPERIENCE. Take very good notes though as that is one of the largest grades in any of the classes I have taken with him. Recommend taking a course with him if it was required or even for elective credit.
It was my second class with Senior Chavez. He is a great professor because he cares about the development of his students. His lectures are interesting and understandable. He also only requires one assignment a week! Would definitely recommend taking his course!
Look, the class in it of itself is easy. Take notes from class 1 to end of semester and you'll pass, as the exams consists of rewrites of the notes you've taken. But some info is contradictory of a couple other professors I've had who are real entrepreneurs and the class feels like one big sell for his "Aha to Exit" program he sells personally.
Professor Chavez is nice and experienced in finance. However, after taking TMC 320, it became difficult to keep up online as he does not post recorded lectures or material for us to reference. There is a quiz every week that appears to be graded by a TA. Professor chavez is not specific about what he wants you to illustrate and is harsh w/grading.
Senor Chavez class was very informative class with a straight to the point information. Take notes from every lecture because your grade depends on it. besides that, he is very energetic and if you just to the work it should be a simple A.
This was my all time favorite class at ASU. I didn't know what to expect, but once class started I just loved how the class is taught. Senor Chavez is very knowledgable. It was an overall easy class and I got to learned some new things about business. If you need an upper division business elective/class, take this professor.
The Best Professor, end stop.
So easy and fun!! Senor Chavez is amazing!!
This leadership class offers a lot. Especially, because of who's teaching it, and that's Senor Chavez!
This course is straightforward, but the final is a waste of time, considering you have to submit hand-written notes for an online course. Also, do not submit the final early because after I took the time to handwrite all my notes, he sent an email the next day saying notes could be typed. I guess that is what I get for being prepared.
Professor Chavez is really a great professor. He gives you real world advice. His lectures consist of videos he makes. Take notes throughly, at the end of the course the final exam is a collection of those notes. He isn't a tough grader just be very specific on your answers. Not proctored. Overall he is wonderful and a blessing for your grade.
If you watch the lectures you will receive an easy A. The final is literally all the notes you took all semester. Easiest A at asu
An absolute joke of a professor and a class. No organization of course material. Modules were either mixed up or were missing material that is needed for the final handbook. Easy A as long as you do the quizzes, yellowdigs, and watch the lectures. However, I feel as if I was just doing these assignments for completion, not for genuine learning.
This course was a disaster, no course outline on the syllabus, mixed up lectures between modules, no announcements regarding the errors, no feedback on assignments. Professor Chavez didn't fix any of the problems, they repeated themselves weekly and persisted throughout the entirety of the course.
I wish I could take another class with Professor Chavez! The final is all your notes that you take throughout the course from the lectures. I felt that I learned a lot with the lecture videos and the visuals helped. Professor Chavez is enthusiastic when teaching and is very passionate about all the topics. He is also fair and emails back quickly.
Simply the best online class I have ever taken. his lectures are amazing. The grading is easy and though the class had some technical issues on canvas, I enjoyed it and would 100 percent take it again, and again.
Will be the best decision of your life. I had his in-person classes in my previous terms. I recommend taking his in person class if you have a choice as his online class had some technical issues every week, but they fixed them every week too. Not his fault, the technology team at ASU was responsible. His lectures, beautiful!
No exams! Easy class, great lecturer. Take it, no second thoughts.
It's like his lectures provided me with a whole new look of this world, the one I like and wanted to see.
Highly recommend TMC 320, one of the best classes I've taken at ASU with one of the best professors I've ever had.
The best. Just remember to draw out your diagrams from the lectures when asked to illustrate, you will get an A+. Easy. He responds quickly to all emails, so don't worry.
TMC 320 is a great class with engaging lectures. While there were some technical issues, using unstuckstudy AI and the provided materials made it an easy A. Definitely worth taking, especially in-person if possible.
Has really great lectures that are really easy to understand because he breaks down the concepts, and this is the second course I have taken with this professor! He is very passionate about what he teaches and makes the lectures engaging. If you have to take an elective, take it with him!! One quiz and one discussion board every week.
Professor is amazing and dynamic person, he has both experience of industry and academia which makes him extraordinary, his teaching and critical thinking will help you to learn more about the entrepreneurship, attendance is not mandatory but missing the class is loosing the learning. quizzes are easy based on class, make sure to write your notes.
This class was a breeze. A breeze that will make sure you learn your stuff. My friends and I the 6 of us, we got an A+ and we love Senor Chavez.
This class was a breeze and broke down many financial topics to a foundational level that I found helpful in relation to other studies. I highly recommend this class to boost GPA. Interesting and straightforward. Senor Chavez is the bomb man.
Great class, Professor really cares and shows great passion!
Professor Chavez is one of those rare professors who genuinely changes how you see yourself and your goals. I took his Funding the Enterprise course, and it wasn't just about learning how to raise money or build a business—it was about thinking bigger, more strategically, and with purpose. Absolutely incredible professor!
6 discussion posts. Quizzes are normal assignments and not through a quiz format. They were easy. The final is super easy. When I had questions he responded promptly and fixed the error in the assignment.
