He great. Knows his stuff. Lectures go a little off topic and random but he finds his way back. Loves class participation. If you show up and ask questions and he knows you by name, you will do fine. Projects are difficult but they all make sense, and his grading is on point. Would take again.

Brad is the best. He is very experienced in the business world and he shares all his expertise and tips for starting up a business. The class was always very engaging as it felt more like a conversation than a lecture. Assignments were straightforward and clear. Class was mandatory as we had in-class activities worth part of our grade.

Professor's vast business experience made the class engaging. Straightforward assignments and mandatory in-class activities provided a valuable learning experience. Unstuck ai was a helpful study tool alongside the required textbook.
