I learned more in this class than any other i've taken. he's really not as bad as people make him seem. just keep up with the work and powerpoints. he structures his class and projects so you'll actually be able to apply the information and remember it. if you put in the effort, you should have no problem getting a good grade

If you are looking to learn something, take courses from Dr. Rockmore. If you are just another millennial looking for an easy grade, run! There are three things with Rocky: work hard, be involved, have an open mind. Beware, he has really done the job and knows that people who are people lovers make poor HR types.

Look- he's a really strict professor. We got 10 pts docked on a 30 pt assignment for not spelling out NBA. He's extremely hard to pay attention too, really boring, and I don't feel like I'm learning anything. You HAVE to go to class, but he only takes attendance half the time. Oh, and no technology because with him we live in the stone age.

Absolutely terrible. He treats this class like an upper level grad school class. For a level 3000, this class was by far my hardest and most stressful class. Exams are very hard. Worst grader Ive had on papers. Do not take this class

This class was almost impossible to receive an A in, unless you ace all exams and have stellar group members as well. For that reason I received an 89% in the class. If you aren't ready to work you butt off for a B, don't take this class with this professor.

This is by far the worst professor I have ever had in my entire life. I was Naive when I signed up for his class. I saw his 1.8 rating on RMP and thought "hm it's just going to be hard but I will just have to study a lot and it will be okay" NOPE. AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS. DONT DO WHAT I DID. RUN WHILE YOU CAN. Each classtest average is in the 50's.

honestly the worst professor I've ever had at UCF. contemplating dropping the HR certificate since you have to take him for all three classes. The material itself is super easy but his exams make 0 sense and he is extra with his requirements on assignments for no reason. The first exam our average was a 64, no one got an A and still wont curve.

This is my second class with this terrible professor. Just to let you know, with this coronavirus going on, he said hell email us by Saturday (two days before spring break ends) about our exam and future class schedule since its all online for two weeks. Yeah exam Monday, its our last knight of spring break and yeah still no email. ��

I was scared to take this professor because of the reviews on here, but he really isn't that bad! He's actually so sweet and clarified any confusion I had every time. You do definitely need to work hard for your grade, but as long as you have dedicated team members & study his powerpoints/readings for the exams, you will be fine!

RUN! Literally just run away and dont look back. Do anything you can to NOT take him. Take entrepreneurship classes. This professor gives dull, boring lectures. Ive seen students fall asleep in his class. He makes grading things way too difficult. Exams are too hard & he wont even tell us our final grade. We have to try to calculate it ourselves.

Professor Rockmore is by far the worst professor at the University. His lectures are useless and the tests are way harded than they ever need to be. It is almost impossible to study for the exams. For the group projects, he doesn't say what he wants and then complains when you don't give enough information. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Would rate 0/5.

Professor Rockmore does not deserve the poor ratings he's received on this website. I saw his ratings, read student comments, and still decided to take not one, but three classes with him this Spring. You must work hard and dedicate time to be successful in his classes, and that is a GOOD thing. Do not be afraid to challenge yourself to be better!

Participate, read, study and involve yourself as much as possible. If you work hard there will be no problems.

I have taken this professor twice in one semester. I was scared with hearing feedback from other students. Surprisingly I got an A in both classes, they require work yes. It is a good challenge and his group project work can be used when applying and interviewing for a job as real life experience. Don't be influenced by others opinions!

Honestly the one thing I can say is RUN while you still can. I have never wrote a review for a professor since I always even pushed my way through even the most difficult classes. I created an account solely for the purpose to warn you not to take this class. His class format makes no sense, extremely boring, and textbook is useless btw. RUN AWAY

Took this class as a second semester junior and this is the first class I did not receive an A in. Dr. Rockmore gives little to no feedback or guidance on the group projects that he assigns and they are fairly difficult. His webcourses is a mess which causes a lot of confusion. I genuinely don't know how people get A's in this class. Do not take.

I had Rockmore for MAN4350 - Debatably more sporadically unorganized than Lonny Butchers GEB classes. Powerpoint's and visual slides completely nonsensical. The over-complication of an incredibly simple concept. Exams have nothing to do with the material discussed, and worded to test students on anything but their actual knowledge of the subject.
