I hate buisiness and this was one of my favorite classes. He genuinely cares about students. Definitly a class you won't be bored in. I really recommend this class!

Great teacher.Knows his stuff and really wants to help. Good general class. I really liked his teaching style. Final is a little hard, but just study and you'll do fine.

Bonnie is an awesome teacher. Even if you aren't interested in Business you will enjoy his class. The quizzes are pretty easy, as long as you read the chapter. He's the type of teacher that you will go to class just to listen to his lectures.

Professor Chavez really stretched my abilities and expectations as a student. He teaches the basic fundamentals that are required in the everyday business arena. Be ready to put a lot into this class. He is a no nonsense kind-of-a- teacher.

awesome teacher, he's tough and expects the best from his students. he is very fair and knowledgable

tough teacher, the kids in his classes that got c's were getting a's in the other bus ad teachers class. Very tough but knows his stuff. If you want a pusher.. go for him

Chavez is a great speaker. However, don't expect to get an A in his class just by going to lectures and reading. It helps a lot to go to the tutors or talk to him, especially regarding chapter exercises.

One of the best teachers i have ever taken, this class has made me interested in business. i highly recomend him to anyone looking to actually learn about the subject matter. if your looking to sclack of and learn nothing don't take this class. but if you want to learn, he is great.

Bonnie is great teacher, but make sure you show up and listen to what he has to say. Also, see him during office hours, it is more bennificial than with most teachers

so republican i love it!

He has a tons of business experience and a great sense of humor. ALL you have to do is come to class and enjoy. READ THE TEXTBOOK word-by-word cuz it's all in the quizzes, nothing tricky.

The best teacher at SBCC. Smart and fair man!! Take the class!!!

Best class I had at SBCC. This guy totally inspired me to work hard and to change my major to business.

He's a good teacher with an interesting and straight-forward personality and covers the class material really well. But he dropped me for just two absences so damn him for that.

BEST TEACHER AT SBCC!!! He is hard but as long as you keep in contact with him and the tutors you will do fine.

Excellent communicator. Expects a lot from students which I think is a good thing.

Great teacher, but difficult at times. Go to office hours, they help a lot!!

If you are not really into learning about business and wont take the class seriously this is not the class for you. But Bonnie is an awesome teacher who knows alot and is really excited about business and truely wants students to succeed and rise to challenges. He is very true to his word, doesn't make many exceptions for certain students-he is a really fair teacher.

As far as teaching goes, he's so so. He tends to rant and preach a lot with his teaching, which put me off a little. I like that's he's a no nonsense kinda guy. He's definitely fair, and will help students out when he can.

It was a short course but she was very informative and very skilled. Take this course if you want to learn some basics the right way.

usual quizes and roll call all the time- thats the only negative thing I saw in that teacher. other than that, it was a good class. he expects a lot from you, so that motivated me to study and actully learn some stuff! Very inspiring!!!

Very good

He's good. Do the work and read the book and you're set. Pay attention to his lectures, sometimes they're important. Ask questions if you don't understand. Use the tutors and his office hours. Have all his handouts with you he gives you credit for them.

He's a really great teacher. Just read the assigned text, and go to the tutors for the practice quizzes. His lectures are interesting, doesn't lecture out of the book, he uses mostly personal experience. Just read and understand the book a lot, and you'll pass his quizzes

He is a very hard teacher but interesting. He talks a lot but it keeps you interesting and not boring. His quiz are hard but just read the book and listen to the teacher. Go to his office hours and you will pass his class

Very clear and helpful but pretty strict, you have to want to do well. Very inspirering!

Bonnie Chavez is an awesoe teacher! He's great at doing what he does and shows you the big picture on life. Bonnie makes you realize why you're going to college. He is very enthusiastic when it comes to teaching and always offers a helping hand. Overall an amazing person. Reccomend him highly!

Mr. Chavez, is very challenging-you will have to work and his class is worth all of the effort. A true challenge and a true reward-nothing is given away it is all earned-truly admirable individual-you will walk away a bette person-if you make it through.

Bonnie teaches what he knows in the best way he can. Sometimes lectures are more inspirational than informational, but he only does so in order for you to get a better understanding of business. Also, do well on the quizzes and final project and you'll be very happy with your grade.

He is the cutiest teacher ever. I swear we signed up for motizational speaking, but it;s just what students need. He is a tough grader but a very good teacher and willing to adapt to each person in his class. he is so helpfull during his office hours and just a fun guy to be around.

He was a very intellectual professor, although his project at the end of the year put me back. I was paired up with two of the worst students, and ended up doing all of the work, which was almost impossible. My grad suffered tremendously, I wish he wouldve cared a little more about students who suffered in terrible groups. Great speaker!

Loved the class. Very Tough, but I can say I actually gained something from his lectures. Make sure to talk to him, it helps out alot.

He's a great guy, a really nice person and very inspiring, however I couldn't stand the way he taught. He doesn't really teach he kinda just uses examples from his life and past experiences. The chapter excersises were killer and the quizzes were hard as hell. Definitely not a class to slack off in. I'm a good student and I ended with a D.

He's a good teacher. Once again, it appears that the ultimate grade indicated the responses below. He gives examples from his life for course concepts to help understand the material and ideas. The testing may be hard, and there may be busywork, but if you actually ask him for help, he is one of the few teachers who will truly assist you.

Good teacher, tons of useful information. Warning: this class is not for slackers

Very Good Professor! Hard class, but if you read the book and learn the terms you will be just fine. Bonnie is very helpful and a great resource.

Bonnie is very professional, clear, and concise. He inspired me enough to change my major. Now I am at OSU pursuing my MBA.

This guy is a joke. Most people in the class believe he is some sort of business genius walking SBCC. the dude owned an unsuccessful jewelry store with his sister. if you like not thinking an regurgitating information--then this class may just be for you.

You can't be a pansy if you take this class. Don't take this class if you're just looking for credits. The man is truely inspiring and he is flat out one of the best teachers i've ever had. I looked forward to his classes everyday for his concise organization, funny jokes, admirable and very interesting stories, and his love for business.

pretty easy and straight forward just a lot of busy work. super cool guy, not a bad class at all.

Prof. Chavez is incredibly fair. He accesses each situation individually, and if you ask for help, he is more than willing to work with you. He assigns 4 major HW assignements, and they are worth a very large chunk of your grade. I will def. be taking his classes in the near future. I learned a lot from him, regarding business and life.

Hands down one of the best teachers I've ever had. Bonnie challenges students to learn, and is extremely helpful to those who seek his assistance. Go to class, read the material, and you will be fine. Slack off and skip class and you will get what you deserve.

I disagree with all of the negative comments made about him. Yes, the class requires work. Yes, there is a project worth 40% of your grade, and yes, you do need to read the text. We are in college people... if you got a D/F in his class, you probably deserved it. He is very fair and helpful. I recommend taking his class, he is very inspiring.

Bonnie is a great professor, VERY fair, VERY critical,the class is a lot of work but it is an awesome experience,the project is 40% of the grade but if you slowly start doing work right when its assigned you'd be surprised at how easily it flows together. Great stories, great examples, one of the most well spoken people i've met in a while.

Honestly this class has been the only class I have ever taken that I look forward to going to. During his motivating lectures I got tingles down my spine. Really hard class that if you want to get an A you have to want it. Awesome professor. Awesome class.

Hard class, everything you need to know about a business is crammed in this class. Great teacher tho, Wish i coulda done better

Bonnie is the best teacher ever! It's a business class so expect to work hard. He is really "chill" you just have to go to his office hours to get to know him. He doesn't make or break the class it's you the student that can make or break the class. He knows what he is talking about.

Bonnie is just amazing. This might be one of the hardest class at school, so automatically people tend to criticize him. It is all up to you that you are going to like him or dislike him. It is all up to your effort and attitude that the class is going to be fun and beneficial or not. One thing for sure, he definitely knows what he is doing

bonie teaches because he loves it. he wants a part of him to be brought into the business world. he has seen the real world and teaches you the mistakes he has made so you wont have to make them. no doubt this class is chalenging but if you are up for the challenge and want to learn some valuable real world information, i suggest taking this class.

This has been one of the most challenging classes that I have taken so far. I found Bonnie to be clear in expectations, clear in presenting material, very fair and very accessible. This is a pay attention course and may challenge most people. I got a "B", could have done better work and did better than I thought I deserved. Take this class!

Mr. Chaves is the BEST teacher I ever had at SBCC...this class is fun, Not a lot of homework. Just read and attend to class(he does not mind if your late) and you can get A. If you want to learn something new take this class. Easy teacher and sometimes he will give extra credit and you dont have to do it right to get full credit. GREAT TEACHER

Good Teacher yet way of running the class needs to be modified.

I took this class on-line, so there were no lectures to attend. However, I found this professor to be very clear in his requirements, and very willing to answer any questions posed to him via e-mail. He said exactly what he wanted from each assignment. This is college, you cannot expect to sail along and not work for your grades. Excellent teacher.

Prof Chavez is a fair grader and you get the grade you deserve. However you might as well watch Fox News instead of attending his lectures. Hes a right wing propagandist who tries to influence his students to agreeing with him. He tried to convince us that Obama was a socialist and that the new Health Care Bill could put you in jail.

Bonnie Chavez is the man! Even though the class is a lecture he will help every individual out, and do what he can to help you success. The class is a bit challenging, do your reading! I wish the classes was smaller and that he had longer office hours. TAKE THIS CLASS! You will learn a whole lot about business, and life in general!

He is a really good instructor! Definitely inspiring! If you do your best and show him that, he will do his best to help you achieve the highest grade possible! He knows a lot and has humor. The class can be hard sometimes, but use the website according to the textbook, do your reading and you will end up with at least a B.

Teacher is great. He makes you think and work hard for your good grade. Make sure you read ahead and know your concepts. He knows his stuff and will challenge you but is always willing to help. I was originally apprehensive about taking his class but in the end learned a lot.

Professor Chavez is an inspiring, wonderful teacher who truly cares about his students. Lectures are worth your while. Read the book, go over his lecture notes, and take online quizzes and you should be fine!

Respectful, clear and direct.

Great! Lectures are worth your time, and its clear how passionate he is about business. Great to see a professor really want to help his students do well, he makes it so easy to ask for help.

Bonnie is one of the most respectful and fair professors I have ever come across. He makes it almost impossible to fail his class and he is a really nice guy. Definatley take his business 101 class. Hardley used the Nickels text book though... so I wouldn't recommend buying it

Bonnie is amazing.he is so helpful and really cares about what he teaches.even with a large class he tries to keep everyone involved.he will do anything to help you pass.his tests are hard but study hard and youll pass.take advantage of going to visit him in his office!

EXCELLENT teacher! Answers questions the same day, great feedback and direction. I learned more form this Professor because he is very attuned to making sure students "understand" and can relate to what they are reading. VERY NICE GUY!! You will have to read and listen to video lecutres (1 a week) GREAT CLASS!

Online course, weekly Chapter reading & 1 online video review, Chapter application/video where you compose 400 words how text applies to video. Prof is extremely interactive and really involved daily in helping students comprehend text to real life applications. VERY NICE PROFESSOR!! Entire online class commented about how great Pro Chavez was!

Mr. Chavez is very knowledgeable in his profession and you can learn a great deal if you come to class prepared. He encourages students to visit him during his office hours. He gives lectures everyday accompanied with a power point presentation so attendance is a must if you want a passing grade. Great teacher with very interesting course material.

Bonnie is one of my favorite professors. He incorporates his own experiences into lectures an is super funny! Go to class everyday because there is always in-class activities which count for most of your grade. Tests are a bit hard but he gives alot of extra credit. He really wants to know everybody even in a 130 person class. I got an A, chill guy

Bonnie was the best teacher I have ever had. As long as you do the homework, read the chapters, and attend class, you will get an A.

The best teacher I ever had so far! Very clear, precise and make his course almost always interesting and funny. He is really trying to motivate you even is the exam are really hard, especially the final. Everything is in his book, I study only with the book you don't even need to take notes. I got a B

Amazing teacher! He makes you want become a business major and get up and start a company. He inspired me to start my company.

Bonnie is the best! He likes to have a light and east vibe in his business classes and really values opinion. He shows you all the materials you need to know for the tests and even lets you take home the ppts. If you utilize his office hours and get to know him he will help you study for the test. He's one of those teachers your will know forever.

Down-to-earth guy that says it as it is. Pushes that self-achievement should come from hard work. He truly wants his students to succeed in life. Highly-motivating in his lectures and really helpful in his office. I am an engineering major that wasn't interested in business, but now I find it fascinating and opportunistic.

Incredible Professor. Always kept me interested in everything.

What a great teacher, he has hard exams but he is great and very knowledgeable about this field. He is always interesting and I always look forward to his classes.

This professor was undoubtedly one of the best I've ever had. His class was engaging and fair. Attendance is a must, DON'T LISTEN TO BAD REVIEWS. He's very passionate about his job and wants you, the student to succeed. He's a motivating figure and you'll always walk out of his class ready for anything. Highly recommend.

Undoubtedly a great guy, and extremely smart. But I thought business was what I would major in until I took his class. I didn't understand a thing, which unmotivated me to even go to class. If you don't go to class he will fail you. Heavily relies on the book. Even after reading the tests are hard. He is ALWAYS available to talk to for help though.

I don't know what everyone is talking about but his class really isn't that hard. There is a short in class assignment each day, but you automatically get 100% just for doing it. The only reason I gave a 3 for easiness is solely due to the fact that there are two finals each worth 35% of your grade. No homework. Study for finals and you're fine.

You learn so much about the business industry! Hard class, because most of his lectures are not that relevant to his midterm and final. But it is okay because lectures are about real life stuff! He lets you take the powerpoint home, which is helpful for midterm and final! Do what he tells you to do ICE relevant topic, go ask him for help and study!

AMAZING teacher! He is always there to motivate you in whatever you need motivation. Even if you are failing his class he will motivate you to do better and you will! That what I loved about this teacher! He motivates you, not like other teachers that straight up tell you is not possible to pass there class anymore. TAKE HIS CLASS. You will learn!!

He teaches in the forum so his classes are 100+ people. On the second day of class, after class, I walked up to him and said, "Hey I don't have a textbook yet because financial aid." Without asking he printed out all of chapter 1 for me. How cool is that for any teacher to do? If you fail then its your fault. Great teacher! and it meant a lot.

Bonnie is a highly knowledgable teacher who is extremely motivating. He wants the best for his students. Not just in his class but in life. It is not an easy class by any means, you will have to work your butt off for an A. I highly recommend Bonnie if you want the most out of your education. NEVER BE ABSENT and do EVERY SINGLE In-Class Exercise!!

Honestly my favorite professor by far. He wants you to succeed and learn. He pushes you to do your best. Go to every class, go to his office hours and build a relationship with him. Do the in class exercises, ask questions, and you will not only do very well, but you will gain so much more knowledge. It's a hard class but it's worth it.

Take the lab for this course: Enterprise Launch, and you will do well. Ask questions. Study the book before EVERY class. Go to his office hours. Don't treat the course like other intro courses. I got an A because the work I put in. Bonnie is realistic, a good lecturer, and cares about his students.

I don't care if you got a F in this class, you can't argue that the words that Bonnie said will forever help you int he business world. I think that what I learned in that class was 100 times more important than what I will learn in the rest of my time in school. the man KNOWS his stuff you can not argue that.

Bonnie is by far the best teacher I have had so far, and he really cares about teaching and getting his students engaged in the material. I only initially took the class to fill up space in my schedule, but soon after the first few days I really found it interesting because of him. Read the text book and study and you will pass the class.

Bonnie demonstrates exactly how a college class should be organized and taught. He's an amazing speaker and knows business like the back of his hand. His words will forever inspire me to become a successfull entrepreneur. I wish there were more teachers like bonnie, he's by far the best teacher I've ever had. I strongly recommend you take his class

This is an introductory class but it is not a walk in the park. Bonnie is a really great professor and he inspires you to do better each day. Do the work, read the book, build a relationship with him and you WILL learn SO MUCH about business ! He is a fair grader and accept feedbacks from student too.

A great professor that knows business like the back of his hand. His teaching style is fair, entertaining, and will never make you bored. He accepts feedbacks, cares so much about his students, and encourage you to do better each day. He cares more about what you get out of this class than your grade, which is very important. Take his Class !

Bonnie is inspirational, plain and simple. If you are interested in business, Bonnie's passion will resonate with you easily and you will find it useful you took the class. Plan on meeting with Bonnie after class for a few minutes if you want to get an A in the class. I wish I could hire Bonnie advise me in my business one day. thanks

Incredibly great teacher if your looking to learn a lot his classes cover a lot of topics he knows his stuff he's passionate about what he teaches if you need help go ask him he'll be there for u def recommend him

Bonnie is a great instructor and I would take his class again. He is VERY inspirational and genuinely cares about his students. I HIGHLY recommend that you use his office hours to get feedback from him. His tests are really hard, along with the in-class exercises, but if you read the chapters before class and pay attention, you will do well.

His enthusiasm and passion towards what he does is something I truly value in class. I have learned a lot, and feel this class was very well worth my time. If you are taking this class, you most likely are going into business, so why would you not pay attention and set yourself up for failure? Let him teach you, and you will grow a lot from it.

He's amazing. His lectures are inspiring and prepares you for going into real business. I've learned so much from him and his lectures. Make sure you read the textbook beforehand and go to his office hour to ask for feedback. The midterm is difficult but he'll give you extra credit exercise, take it seriously.

Bonnie is a great speaker. However, you have to study in great detail both the book and the examples that he gives in class. He has a very high standard for the writing exercises and midterm writing portion. Great teacher, just don't think you can pass this without serious effort.

Mr. Chaves motivated me to be a better team member. The Discussions were challenging and rewarding. Thank you for your encouragement and guidance.

Chaves is super passionate he serves better as a motivational speaker than a professor. His lectures are useless as the test are nothing alike, instead just read his book very carefully as the questions are very specific. He makes an emphasis in visiting him and I do suggest you do because you won't get an A without it even if they are just to chat

Bonnie has definitely been the best professor I've ever had. Expect to read the textbook to do well on the quizzes and accurately answer the In Class Exercises. Bonnie does lecture from the textbook, but his lectures go far beyond reiterating the text. He extends his lectures to cover real world scenarios. I always left class feeling inspired.

Bonnie Chavez was a solid teacher and the class was not too difficult. In class Exercises made up 30% of the grade and required you to have a good understanding on the topic. We had 3 major quizzes all online and the final was a take home test.

most amazing teacher I've ever had by far. I recommend every student and teacher to take this class. Even if you don't think you'll like business- Bonnie Chavez will make you feel like you're capable of achieving your dreams.

His class is pretty hard, I will say that. He definitely cares for his students. If you put in the effort, he sees that. You will get the grade you deserve.

Bonnie is seriously the best professor at SBCC! Yes it is difficult, but he really encourages his students to go to his office hours and review their work.

Disregard all of the bad reviews on this page. The people who do poorly in this class are unmotivated or unprepared for an authentic college class. This class is not difficult, but a real eye opener. He treats the class like a business environment, which is how a business class should be ran. Take responsibility for yourself!! He loves his work.

He does care about you and your grade and he shows that. He is one of the most inspirational speakers I've ever heard and you will leave this class every day wanting to do better in your everyday life. The quizzes are all taken online and you are allowed to use any source you want. No essays or papers. The class is very doable if you apply yourself

Informative class with an inspirational instructor. Very hard quizzes and tests on his own-written book, and you have to write a graded In-Class Exercise every week to let him know you are participating. The only downside is that he is setting his students up to fail by not handing out any study-guides or chapter summary. Enjoy talking to students.

I took this class at 8am and if you want a good grade you have to go once a week to class for the ICE's which you will get 100% on if you do. The quizzes are once a week online and are based on his textbook. if u do the reading, ur fine. The final was extremely hard so dont skip class and u will be fine. one class can lower ur grade a lot.

How to get an A in this class: read the textbook, use the book and class notes (he gives you permission to) on the online quizzes, show up to class, and put effort into the in class assignments. Bonnie is a good guy and passionate about business. He cares about his students and will make you believe in yourself. Im really glad I took this class!

Bonnie is amazing! Would definitely recommend his class! Many say the class is hard, but it is really not if you just keep up with the work and read the chapters (definitely buy the book). Lectures are inspirational and youll even want to start your own business after this class!

Bonnie cares a lot about his students. There's one quiz and one in class exercise every week. All the answers are in his textbook. He gives extra time if you need and he is very understanding. He's a great guy, I recommend. Just go a few times to his office to meet with him and do the quizzes and in class exercises and you will get an A.

When I first started this class, I wanted to drop out. It is a very difficult class that requires a lot of time. As difficult as Prof Chavez is, his class is worth taking. This class teaches you a lot about yourself and causes you to push yourself beyond your limits. He believes that the only way to success is hard work.

He is an amazing teacher and a very inspirational man. He does everything he can for his students to succeed. There is a quiz and a small writing assignment every week which are graded pretty hard and the quizzes are definitely not easy. Definitely worth your time but you need to put in the effort.

Bonnie is a great teacher! He explains everything really well based on reality and his own experience. He really cares about his students and put in a great effort. I have learned a lot, and I think if you read the chapter, listen in class and take notes from his PP you can easily get an A. Also, you can always go to him for help!

Professor Chavez is very charismatic. He helped me out tremendously as far as grades! I told him about my situation and about the mistakes I made this semester and he still chose to look out for me. Even if I may not pass his class because of my own incompetence he still tried to do the best he could for me so I could pass.

Be prepared to think critically and express your thoughts in writing. His papers and tests make you really think about the material rather than regurgitate information. He gives excellent feedback is very accessible during office hours.
