This class is a joke. His lecture is the most brutal thing I've ever had to sit through. The only reason to go is b/c 3 times during the semester he'll have a "quiz" where you write your name on a piece of paper and get 25 points. He's definitely a cool guy, and it's pretty easy to score well- but you will hate his class.

His class was easy. To get an "A" from his class is not hard at all. Find out the answers from the study guide is the best way to prepare for his mid-term and final.

Bill is a good instructor. He's very clear and easy to understand. Tests are not terribly hard although I did have to study for them for a few days prior to the exam. For the final, a friend of mine prayed that I would get a 100 on it, and what do you know, I got a 100 and I had been scoring in the mid 80's on prior exams. Tripped me out a bit.

I took this class online. He is a really good professor! This class is very straight forward as long as you finish all of the assignments. Bill is also a really nice professor, he constantly sends out announcements regarding the class. He is also always available when you need help with the SimNet projects and other assignments.

Bill has extensive and impressive real-world experience which was neat to hear him tell stories about. Take his online class, as he said it himself that the in-class option was pretty unnecessary. The online homework was sometimes a bit much, but all the tools were given to us to succeed. He was pretty good.

I have taken him for two classes because he is the best. He has really cool real-world experience. He uses those personal experiences as very effective examples that result in remembering concepts for the tests. He can be a little repetitive, but it's helpful. He is very flexible and listens to and respects student feedback. Highly recommend.

Great teacher. Engaging lectures and interesting videos that showed us how supply chains are actually used in the real world. Most of the assignments come from Learnsmart, so as long as you get ahead of those you should be fine. Study guides come out before every , so as long as you pay attention and study the study guides, you'll do well.

Class consisted of weekly heavy learnsmart assignments, four SIMnet chapters, and two Proctorio exams. I would try to do learnsmarts ahead of time because they were so long, the SIMnet assignments/tests were simple (multiple attempts), and the tests just followed the study guides. Need help? Go to tutor center before asking the professor.

Bill is a pretty funny guy and his lectures are interesting because of it. He sprinkles in real life experience so it helps lectures stick more. Roll is not taken with the exception of the case study presentations No homework, only 3 multiple choice exams (study!!!), and then a Target Case Study group project.

Perfect version of an online class. Lacking in nothing. Do the homework, you'll be fine! (Boring material, but that's just life!)

Just finished his MINS 301 online class at CSU Chico for the 18' fall semester. He is extremely fast at replying to your emails and overall very relaxed about helping you out. He gave me credit for 2 missed homeworks and even rounded my grade up when I asked him about it. The class is extremely organized and structured!

An honest and knowledgable professor. Only four items make up the entire grade - 3 exams and 1 group project. Class attendance is certainly not necessary. He is extremely meticulous about details, so make sure you follow the instructions for the group project exactly how they are written. Would highly recommend Bill!

I had Professor Maligie for the online version of the class. It was relatively simple and consisted of mainly learnsmarts, quizzes and 2 tests. Proctorio was used for the tests. We also had simnet (with it's projects, that were relatively easy, just time consuming). Honestly, just do the work and read and you'll probably get an A. He's pretty cool

Not very active for online students, doesn't posts updates or reminders for homework and study guides are old and vague. Completely relies on learn smart to teach the class, no input from him. If you stay up with the coursework you will be fine, but don't expect much help from him. He is also against group studying and collab, which doesn't help.

Class was pretty difficult. We had no recorded lectures but just the book,hw, and study guides to study for exams. We never were reminded when hw,quizzes,or learnsmarts were due. The exams themselves are pretty detailed and you definitely have to study a good amount to do decent on them. Bill is definitely a nice guy but the class online is harsh.

Bills online class was a straight up waste of time. For someone who has none of his own lectures and only assigns connect assignments his tests were insanely difficult. No matter how hard I studied I got either a D or C- on every one of his tests which was the most frustrating thing ever. Never taking his classes again

Definitely one of the best professors of all the business options. Shares real world experience and relates a lot of content to current world business. Class is engaging and fun and you will learn lots. Had him for multiple classes and highly recommend choosing him and even exploring the major of OSCM.

Great guy, his lectures are great but they can't cover all of the subject matter. So he uses LearnSmart to teach the other half of the class. The tests are ridiculously hard because his study guides are vague. Overall I wouldn't recommend honestly

Bill is a great professor and is very knowledgeable in this subject. His lectures are a tad bit boring, but he tries to engage students and gives out as much extra credit as he can. Uses videos and real life scenarios to convey the material and his exams are pretty much straight from the smartbook quizzes and lectures.

Bill class is pretty straight forward. I enjoyed it Show up, have your camera on and answer the questions during his lecture (the bonus pts really add up on the test). Everything is laid out well and due during the same times of the week. You don't even have to really study outside of class, just try and you will definitely pass.
