Very Helpful

Good Teacher, He grades on curve. Final Exam was hard but because of the curve, it wasn't that bad

A Very patient and compassionate teacher!

His tests were a Joke, Do the practice problems before each exam and read the power point slides and you will get an A. His accent is a little difficult at times, but he goes out of his way to make sure you understand the material. i would definately take him again, fair, easy and helpfull

Great professor, nice guy. you can tell hes a genuine guy unlike so many other professors here. He makes the effort for the class to do well. Its not exactly the most entertaing class but what SOM class is? Just do the practice problems and review the powerpoints and you should be fine. definitely take it.

It seems ppl are just lazy these days. Its a hard subject! he makes it as easy as possible and teaches the material. you gotta study your part too, i was borderline and he bumped me up to the B, because i always attended class. show him you care and he will take care of you.

Cares about the students. He wasn't an expert in the subjects covered but he tried his best to explain. Not a hard grader but not that easy at the same time. Just hope for a hard working team and you should do fine in the class.

Very Nice just hard to understand. You have to be at every class meeting and if you want an A you have to participate regularly. Talk to him before you submit your cases, he will guide you in the right direction. Sit close and talk to him often your grade will reflect the difference I assure you.

I don’t know why some people bash him, he is actually a very nice guy and cares about his students, doesn’t talk much or explain a lot on his own but if you ask him he is always happy to help. The class is not really hard just busy work, if you do your work you should get at least a B because he is not a hard grader at all, just show him that you a

Good Prof. not too hard or too easy. If you do the homework you have nothing to worry about, you will get at least a B. The people who gave bad comments are the D students who don't want to do any work, so if your one of those don't take his class. Overall he is a good prof. accent is not that bad, quizaes are easy and the exam are fair.

This professor is the best one out of all of the professors who teach bus 302. He is really helpful and answers all of your questions. Yes it is a hard class but you have to do all of the work. It's not an easy A but trust me, take it with him during winter and you will pass. He is a very nice teacher and you will not regret it if you take him.

He is nice teahcher. I took him during Winter 08 and pretty happy. It's not an easy class, you have to work, but it's not all that bad as it sounds.

Taking this class during the Winter session is the best decision I could have ever made. This class is extremely hard and you have ro work for your grade. I seriously could not imagine what it is like taking this class during a regular semester. This professor overall is very helpful and very nice, also very fair grader. I'm happy!

Not the best, not the worst. He has a nice personality but his lectures are boring. You need to do all the homework to be able to succeed in this class.

Took him in Spring 2009 for gateway. He is a fairly easy grader. Most of the students get like at least a B in most of the project. Most of the projects that my team did was like B+, but I participated every class and turn in the participation form and I ended up getting an A-.

This is a great teacher and from what others have told me about other prof. Dr. A was easy going. I am not going to lie, you will work hard in Gateway. Take 302L before if you can. It is a lot of work! Dr. Abrams expects quality not quantity. I learned so much from him. I will truly miss his class. TAKE DR. A FOR GATEWAY!

Good teacher and helpful class. I can say that the gateway class is the busiest course in my college life so far, but it is very helpful in my future, though. The professor had clearly stated what we should do on his website, so just follow that, and a good grade is attainable.

Gateway is a hard class, but if you follow is way you will be okay. He explains every step, and he is always available for his students and ready to answer any question.His class was fun.

Very nice teacher. He will do all he can for you to do well but you have to do your part. Project is pretty easy and you must read the book and do your homework in order to do well on the tests. He keeps you the entire class period, don't expect to leave early he gives his quizzes at the end of class. Boreing lectures but a great teacher.

As long as you get a good group, you will really enjoy this class and will succeed. I HIGHLY recommend Prof. Abrams for Gateway. He has got to be the best Gateway professor. You have 4 written cases and 1 group presentation. Again, the work is very minimal and easy as long as your group works well together and everyone does their part!!

Really nice professor. He will help you as much as he can. His expectations for the assigned cases are high, but if you are on a good team you will do fine. I recommend taking him, but be ready to work. If you are on a bad team, it can be a lot of work and very challenging.

OMG I miss this class. He's so nice and honestly he's a good professor. Gateway is such a hard class and I was so worried before taking it. His class became my favorite class. He expects very good and detailed work. You have to be good at team work and make a good team. He does care about attendance and gives extra credit for it and participation.

Dr. A was a great professor. Quite boring lectures, but thats how bus302 goes with any professor. Easy grader in my opinion, if you put the required amount of work you can get an A.

Best gateway professor! No mandatory attendance, very clear, loves teaching & his students, always welcomes students to come see him at his office hours, responds to emails very quickly. Gateway is a very tough course, but Mr. A made it very enjoyable. I had to say hello to him after the course and thank him for teaching me so much! Highly recc!

He is okay... Get on his good side. Attendance is mandatory because he takes attendance and it's a part of your participation. Not the best, but probably not the worst for bus302. Also make sure you get a good group!

his lectures r boring, late on turnin the work back. overall easy class if u ask he ll help. u dont need to be in group of nerds to get an A. if everyone does lil bit of work u ll be just fine. almost 50% grade is individual but he grades lil hard on writings. very nice character ll recommend

The class stinks, it's not very easy especially if it has been a while since you have taken stats. However, he is the best guy to take it with. He really tries to make it understandable. You have to stay to the end of class as he gives pop quizzes.Do all the HW or you will have a hard time on the test.

Very nice teacher, with great knowledge of subject matter, all you need to do is to be interested in learning and ask smart questions. Show some interest in teachers subject matter and don't text in class and it will not be boring. Great teacher, I would recommend to getaway student who want to learn.

This class is all about working in groups. Professor explains what you need to do. Not much teaching and he doesn't hold your hand. It helps if your group is diversified in different majors (IS, accounting, econ, etc). 2 presentations, 3-5 case essays, and some little stuff. Ask questions for participation. You'll be fine.

Took Gateway over the summer. This class is all about group work. We did 4 cases, 1 of them being a group presentation. The professor is nice and answers any questions you might have. Participation will play a huge role in your grade so ask questions during every class session! He also takes attendance.

He's super nice & understanding if you received a bad group. He answers all questions & expects class participation. The class is straightforward but if you get a bad group filled with awful writers, you will have a really hard time. Overall a good prof, the class is just difficult because it's all about teamwork.

He is one the better gateway teachers. He is lenient on getting the correct answer but focuses more writing style and how u got ur answers. He chooses ur group and almost every group in my class had a slacker. The good part is that you review your group after each case so you can tell the professor who did what. Take him and most likely get a B.

I was one of the rare few who received an A in his class. He only accepts quality work to qualify for a high grade and that brings out the best in the student. We had one group member who constantly burdened the group, but we made it clear to the professor so it did not affect our grades.

Hes fair, i got an "A" but so did my tea members, even though i put in much more work. I recomend taking him. If you have a good group or member in your up who is good, then u can get an A- or A pretty easily.

Professor had a great sense of humor and is extremely helpful if you visit him during his office hours. A lot of people say he doesn't give A's but I know of a few people including myself that all obtained A's. You just need to take his direction on paper/presentation and make it interesting. I enjoyed the professor and wish I could take him again.

I was very impressed by Professor Abrams and wouldn't hesitate to take his class again. Participate, be respectful, and hope that you get a solid team

This class is 5 group projects. He gives you case and you have to incorporate (BLAW,ACCT,ECON,STATS) all in one report. It does take a significant amount of time, but make SURE your writing and grammar is on point. Your group really does matter in determining your grade, but do your part or take it to the writing center to not get silly points off

Abrams is the best professor for Gateway. It's all group work and he will help your group if someone is causing a problem. It is an easy class, just make sure you participate because it is a large part of your grade.

Probably the best there is as far as Gateway is concerned. A genuinely nice guy that tries to help his students. Participate for free points

Very well spoken. He tells you from the beginning what to do and if you have questions he answers. he makes lots and lots of jokes and he keeps class entertained. sometimes we leave early. very good feedback on essays got As on everyone except 1st one i got a B. He lets you redo 1 essay at the end. Show up so you know what to do. Notes always on BB

He assigns a personality test and availability homework to determine the groups you will be put into. Overall, every assignment is a group project. His lectures are long and pointless but he doesn't care if you are on your laptop during class. Chill professor, I'd definitely take him again even though attendance is mandatory and don't get out early

You'll be put in groups by Abrams and do just case reports. It's critical you write down everything he says should be incorporated in the reports and use it as a check list. Then review the bus 302 and 302 L study material and incorporate that info in your reports. Wing it C. Research A. Ask him specific questions and participate once a day.

I never took Professor Abrams for any other class besides SOM 485, took this class virtually on zoom and I am very satisfied with the course and his way of teaching this class in the virtual format. Online textbook which you will use for online homework. One class project, mid term and final. Great Professor for a challenging class. Very Nice!

Professor Abrams cares about his students however you should really work for a good grade. Most importantly, YOUR GROUP SHOULD BE GOOD! If you're unlucky to have free riders in your group then chances you get a good grade is low. Attendance is mandatory and he gives you points for attendance and participation. Also, tough grader.

Professor Abrams is fair and provides all required material. Lectures are long and dual as any other data analytics class. Expect to download Rattle and Tableau. 6 HW assignments, mid term, 4 in class quiz's, group project (data modal), and final. Most assignments will be completed in Midtap. Recommend making friends quickly for technical support.

Prof Abrams is a sweet and great professor. He really cares about the success of his students but you must put in the work. Keep in mind that your group will make or break your grade since its all group work.

There is nothing wrong with this professor; he is kind, relaxed, and is willing to help. If you follow the instructions, study a little (open note tests) you can easily get an A. He makes the final data project so easy by providing us with the data. The class is a little boring at times but it is nothing compared to other classes.

I don't understand the hate—he's an awesome professor. He genuinely cares about his students and goes out of his way to help during office hours. He's a fair and relaxed grader who shares not only Excel knowledge but also tips for professional growth. Take him—you'll gain more than just class credit.

1 midterm, 1 final(both open notes), 1 presentation (choose a good group), and a lot of hw (I took his class over summer). He's very approachable, if you have a hard time understanding something, he'll take his time to explain it. Getting an A isn't hard as long as you actually put in some effort. Just stay on top of the work and you'll be fine.

Great teacher, took a night class, it was boring but easier class than other teachers, that teach bus312

Attendance is mandatory and pop quizzes are given, so you NEED to be there every class. Took his night class 7pm-9:45pm and honestly it was a little boring but he is really nice and funny. He cares about the students. All homework/quizzes/exams are on your laptop in class. LOTS of homework labs every week. 1 group project, get a GOOD GROUP!
