Very hard marker, especially on presentations, even though he cannot give a good presentation. Super easy class and he made it a million times harder and more boring than what it should be. He should not be teaching.

He is horrible when comes to answering questions on D2L. Do not expect clear answers, instead he answers the question with a question. Take a different professor if you could!

Cam is often rude. If you post something on d2l that he thinks is "not helpful" he will rudely call you out in front of your peers. Would avoid if possible.

Like other intro courses, you have to do so many unnecessary things like upload your profile with picture to the d2l and reading discussion board. Assignments from the d2L require exact answers which is weird when you are doing short answer question. Like other reviewers said, try to avoid this guy. Also his TAs are not helpful at all.

Horrible prof. All of the tests are meant to trick you. Has told class countless times that certain criteria wont show up on quiz but SURPRISE it was on the quiz. This has happened countless times. Class is very useful but he does not know how to teach. His lectures are very dull and boring.

Really not a good prof or course coordinator. He's very vague about instructions or what we need to know but marks more specifically than anyone you will ever see. He cites "best practices" as the reason for the way he marks but is constantly changing what it means in an attempt to trick you. You'll have trouble figuring out why you're wrong.

Rude and condescending to students. You will be tested on best practices, which is 1 specific method and the only way you'll get marks. However, assignments, ppts and videos will only serve to confuse you because they will teach you 3 different ways to do it. Don't ask him for clarification unless you want to be embarrassed in front of your peers.

This guy is something else. Completely unprofessional in his approach towards his students. Incredibly unhelpful and vague, and tests on concepts that have either not been covered or covered in very little detail. As a course coordinator he is awful.

very specific grading (best practices). small margin of error so it's so easy to get a non-satisfactory grade in this course. condescending and sarcastic towards students. don't ask questions. materials from the NEXT module will be on the quizzes, overload of content to study for. basically impossible to get an A in this course.

A professor who does not enjoy helping his students and belittles them for asking should NOT be teaching. He tends to tell you things will be on the quiz, when they aren't and not tell you when they are. Which means he expects you to know all content and it's fair, but just not super encouraging for students who are busy with other classes.

This is my 5th year of university and I have never had an class as poorly coordinated as this. Grading criteria is never taught, you have to figure it out on your own based on incorrect assignments. Be prepared to get tested on things you were never taught (through lecture, book, or TA help) and told it's just something you should have known.

Thinks very highly of himself. Not a leader in my opinion. If you want to do well, attend the PASS sessions. Do not rely on him as a mentor. Contradicts himself sometimes. Causes a lot of un-needed confusion and conflict in the class and on D2L. Take his retorts with a grain of salt. Not the only person you'll meet in life with this personality.

By far the worst prof I have had yet. So arrogant and is constantly bragging about something. Assignments are bs, you can get the answer right but if you don't put the EXACT format that Cam wants, you get it wrong. Tests will cover anything he decides to put on it from basic accounting to ethics to how fast Cam can do the excel test (that he wrote)

Quite a rude and condescending teacher. If you want to be degraded because of asking a question that might have been answered already, by all means, this teacher does it the best! Looks down upon all students.

Absolutely the worst class you will ever take at Haskayne. Don't worry, he is the course coordinator and controls every single aspect of the course so you can't avoid him. You'll learn nothing from his mandatory videos and slideshows and will only be able to learn from asking TA's why you failed. Quizzes are always unrelated to anything you studied

This guy is actually terrible. He thinks too highly of himself and his company, and is super rude to students who post questions. He expects too much from first year students, and the assignments are ambiguous. He offers little to no help, and when he works inclass, students near the back have extreme difficulty following what he is doing.

Course should be called mgst 217 introduction to how to cope with an idiot boss

unorganized class, teaches ethics but the way he treats his students is completely unethical, disrespectful and makes them feel like complete failures.

The material itself in this course is not difficult, however how poorly Cam teaches it makes this class unbearable. Worst professor I have ever had to deal with. Never met such a mean, rude, and disrespectful professor.

WORST PROF EVER DO NOT TAKE A COURSE WITH HIM. VERY UNORGANIZED, NEVER KNOW WHAT TO STUDY, VERY RUDE, COURSE IS ALL OVER THE PLACE NEVER HAVE I SEEN A COURSE LIKE THIS BEFORE DISGUSTING!!!

I wish someone would look at me the way Cameron looks at bikes

the only thing I learned about in this course was that Cam likes his bikes, and his soft treadly.

not great at all, grade criteria is extremely demanding, and cam is of no help what so ever, really didn't like him or his way of teaching, very condescending and full of himself wouldn't recommend him

As Cam once eloquently explained, you want to start off any review with your results. Cam is awful. He rarely taught us what to do before assignments and he would never actually tell us what to study for on quizzes, he would say everything is fair game. The only way to do well on the course is to ask ppl who have already taken it, otherwise RIP.

Cameron is the most rude, degrading and condescending professor I've had throughout university. Haskayne should be ASHAMED to have such a terrible member on their staff. He roasts kids for asking questions, (even though we don't really learn anything in class!), unfairly grades assignments & gives random in class tests that are literally impossible

Don't do it. Just don't. Being in Cam's class has taught me a valuable life lesson, one that has nothing to do with management, cause lets face it you will learn very little about Management if you rely on him in any way. Coming to the regular classes was a waste of time, as he constantly read off of the screen and had no real instruction to give.

This course is completely disorganized. The profs neglect to teach you the things that matter, and then they deduct marks on the quizzes and tests. Not cool. You'll stress a lot and hardly learn a thing. Accounting class is more useful.

Cam doesn't care about his students. He teaches his material as if we've all seen it before, and usually skips explaining what contexts his concepts would be useful in, i.e., makes it hard to care about his content. Master at Excel, but a fish could take the cake for better prof. Also the MGST grade scale makes an A only for God.

The guys needs to seriously learn how to use proper grammar in his assignment instructions, they were often incredibly hard to read and understand, also Cam will only give you vague unhelpful answers if you approach him, assumes everyone already knows everything about excel and statistics.

Worst prof I have ever had to deal with. Extremely condescending and finds joy in attempting to humiliate his students via the discussion board. Only thing he seems to teach in class is how to become a research dummy for his failing business. He provides no useful resources and is extremly unapprochable. Aviod his lecture section at all costs.

He would give a super simple example of something then end the class expecting you to finish an assignment that has waaay harder stuff on it. Then be careful with his marking a few times he made big mistakes on my assignments. He just makes this course hard, when its actually quite easy.

This course is so un organized, you don't learn anything in the class. Get ready to receive a spreadsheet that you will have no idea how to do. They expect you to learn yourself. Never take it.

Cam Welsh is AWFUL. The course setup is absolutely terrible, and you learn nothing in class. You are expected to learn how to do entire spreadsheets with no help at all. He is so rude over the discussion boards when students are trying to learn HIS materials.

Rather condescending and relies on videos and other students (via the discussion posts) to teach materials rather than himself. You will end up learning most of the material on your own through a lot of trial and error and the answer keys. Class material could be very interesting if class was taught properly.

As a course coordinator, seems to lack any coordination. Has poor lecture materials for all sections, creates a purposeless d2l discussion board and is very rude and condescending to students. Lacks respect, and misconstrues and doesn't understand questions. Doesn't teach either. All my friends from all sections have experienced disrespect. Pass.

Condescending and rude when student's asked any sort of question, expects you to know how to use excel as well as he does for some reason. Talks more about case competitions than teaching class. Does not prepare you enough for the excel test (basically the midterm). Go to PASS sessions for that and the final, they're very very helpful.

Be prepared to teach yourself because Cam doesn't explain things very well. Learned a lot more from the TAs than I did from the prof. The final was weirdly weighted in that there was a lot of questions for topics we spent little time on. Talks a lot about his own business, he uses it as an example for everything.

Cam is probably the most rude prof I have had so far. If you ask a question, be ready to feel bad about the question you ask. Doesnt teach with any enthusiasm either. Very boring class, very unapproachable person.

Worst prof I've had at Haskayne. The whole course was disorganized, Cam's explanations are confusing and disjointed and filled with so many unnecessary comments. Cam is rude in all his communications through D2L. A large chunk of the written on the final was tested on material we were taught in one lecture. Avoid at all costs for MGST.

Horrible experience. I have never had a class worse than this one. He teaches in a way that makes easy content difficult to understand. He is also very condescending and comes off as insensitive at times which makes it hard to ask questions. Lectures were boring and not engaging. If he is scheduled as your prof for this course, I am extremely sorry

The guy is a total tool in terms of knowing how to teach.

Professor Welsh is ok. If you ask him questions he will be rude and not helpful. Also, he teaches like you already know how to do what he's doing even though you don't. Overall he's not a very good teacher.

Cam knows the material well, but since he is not a very good teacher it is pointless to try to understand it from him. If you ask a question either in class or by email his response will be very rude and condescending. I would recommend taking it with another prof if you can.

Usually one sentence, rude responses, no matter what you ask him. He BLAMES you and make you feel STUPID as a student. Also the course is SO hard. Tests are stuff NOT covered in class and too many participation marks. Get rid of the tophat and group exercises. What if someone misses the class that day? You miss either tophat or group exercise.

Avoid Cameron at all costs.

Cam truly makes a basic course like MGST difficult to do well in. He is very condescending when responding to questions and you cannot skip lectures because of group exercises and Tophat questions. Try to avoid having him as your prof.

Literally thought he would be better and more thoughtful to his students than MGST 217, but I was wrong. The whole class is self taught and he marks extremely hard and replies to emails in a very rude manner. I wish I could go back in time and prevent myself from taking this class with him.

I emailed him one time and he replied in such a rude and condescending way. Always blames the student. Thought it was just me until I read the other reviews. After so many people said the exact same thing you would think he would put a bit more effort.

Rude email replies, terrible at answering questions and super condescending. Rushes through material and quizzes are HARD. Relies heavily on Tophat and group exercises for grades. Missed a few classes because you were sick or had an emergency? Good luck catching up and say goodbye to your participation mark. Avoid this prof if you can.

Avoid at all costs. Set up the class so that you would have to submit the weekly assignments and tests before you are taught the content in class. That wouldn't be terrible if the 2 minute videos he posted for each major concept wasn't completely useless. It's as if he's trying to accomplish the lowest class average possible with this format.

Probably the worst prof I've ever had, his lectures are set up so that you have to teach yourself the content and do the quizzes before actually going to class. He is very rude and tries his very best not to help you. Usually, any answer to a question that you ask involves some sort of sarcasm on his end or he compares you to his case study team.

Absolutely terrible professor. His MGST 217 class is designed and managed so poorly. You are forced to do a 30-question quiz before you actually go into his lecture. In this lecture, you waste your entire time as he proceeds to go over the material you had taught yourself before the lecture, through his terribly unprofessional pre-recorded videos.

Good guy but as a professor... I'm just shocked how we have to learn the content before the actual class. That's not too bad, but the thing is that we are quizzed on it and the only learning resources we have are these 2-5 minute videos which don't really teach us as much as they show Cam going through the spreadsheets at his own pace.

Professor that clearly doesn't care about this class. Many grammar mistakes on all the quizzes with some questions being very unclear. He is very difficult to reach outside of class times as he I believe he is only on campus on Fridays. Feel bad for anyone who has to take MGST 217 with him as a course coordinator.

All the learning is done through pre-recorded online videos, and during in-person class, he will only go through the basics and not the difficult parts of Excel. Majority of the time you are actually learning from the teaching assistants, not the professors. For quizzes, you have 40 mins to answer 30 questions that you have not learned yet.

Overall, just a very frustrating professor to have. Would recommended taking the course with someone else if you have the option.

Very hard to reach him by office hours and email even when setting it with high importance.

He loves to talk about himself and seems to love himself very much. He never fails to mention his second home. The class is not fun, and he does not help. you can get by with my grade while barely trying though.

The rest of the reviews are accurate. But Cam preps you for the tough work on Wallstreet in 2 ways: 1. Sets the class up to get you to develop a coke or speed habit to finish excel sheets in seconds. 2. Acts like he doesn't care if you're learning or not and may come off as arrogant, making you learn how to adapt to people who can be a pain.

Cam doesn't really care if you learn't anything or not. He runs through everything and is not patient with the slides. I think he is a bad prof especially for a first year course like why do you want to welcome kidz in their first year with him !!

Terrible terrible prof. Avoid avoid avoid

Very rude prof. Does not care and responds very sarcastically to emails. Also does not care about Mac users and forces people to use Windows. Libreoffice and other software are avaible on Mac but does not tell people about these. Nor does he subsidize people for costs incurred for running Parallels or switching to Windows. Avoid him.
