He is a great professor but it is your responsibility to show up to each lecture and take notes. Also, going over lecture notes is not enough in this class. You need to read the textbook and watch the videos he sends you. Only then can you do really well on his midterm and final exam. Also, don't talk or text during his class.

Honestly, it was the easiest class I have ever taken in my life(middle-school, high-school, university). That being said, you have to come to class because the GMS course wont post online notes so the class is your only chance of getting notes. The group project was so arbitrary in it's points structure that I suggest you just play around with it.

Good Professor if you want to learn - he takes the subject seriously, and calls some people out for various things. However, he is a very fair marker and will give lots of part marks. He also remembers all his students, so if you show up to class consistently, he will help you out. He provides a lot of his own researched content for you to read.

Ironically, this course is easier than GMS402. It's divided up in 3 sections for 2 non-cumulative midterms & a cumulative final. No M/C all short answer but its better indicator of knowing concepts. Takes the whole class to explain concepts using international examples: OBOR, OSBP, Supply Management, etc.. I learned more in this class than 690,621.

Avoid taking this professor if you can. While the information given in lectures is important, you will find yourself bored within the first half of the class. His grading is also unnecessarily tough and it is not based on any given rubrics. When you have questions about assignments, it is almost impossible to reach him within a respected time.

Bamidele is not the best professor honestly but he's not the worst either. If you have a decent general knowledge about economics you should be fine for this course regardless. He takes his test and final questions word for word from the practice questions so just memorize those honestly.

He was an alright prof. The m/c on the midterms were the exact same as the practice problems. The only challenging part was the questions about the articles. They weren't hard, it was more difficult to know what to write down. He didn't provide feedback for questions where I only missed 1 mark (ex. 4/5). He also gives pop quizzes (5% total).

For all exams, make sure to memorize the practice questions bc they'll 100% be on it. Try not to ask questions bc he remembers faces and if u ask a dumb (by his standards) question then he'll look at u disapprovingly for the rest of the sem. Not the worst prof, easy to get a good mark if u attend classes and listen well.

Required students to do mid-term in person, without notes, for an hour and 30 minutes. Took it upon himself to add lecture-specific topics on the mid-term. 3-hour lectures, students hardly showing up and not paying attention... Fair, but why make it so that everyone has to suffer by trying to recall what happened 6 weeks ago in a 3-hour lecture.

The professor's accent is too heavy. Most of my classmates could not understand anything. Sometimes all I could hear was mumbling that affected my grade a lot.

His accent and his tone make it hard to pay attention in his class, which is really important as midterms and exams have questions that were only discussed in class during 3-hour lectures, which are too easy to zone out from. Assignments are easy marks as long as you put decent time into it. All tests are in person, no notes, and are difficult.

Additionally, the lectures are quite lengthy and he talks for long periods of time. The final exam also was extremely different than the midterm.
