I actually dislike this class, cuz lectures are useless. You have to read the book for test youself, but he tests us on useless things (how many e-mails you have, his life story... lmao) he talked about in the lecture, so lecture is still important~ Be careful when taking tests together cuz he checks time records.

I don't know why people are enamored with this man. He is useless and does not belong at Bauer. Worst teaching method in the entire school. I received an A- so my grade does not merit this review.

I'd say he's the Dr Bott of Bauer; the class is NOT easy, just fun. Open note tests, but it's mostly over stuff you've never heard of before in your life! He will say there is no book, buy it anyway if you want a C+ or better. Don't bother emailing after exams, he doesn't care. On 1st day I learned to criticize others. Good luck, you will need it!

3 individual projects and 4 exams, takes the highest 7 grades (essentially you can skip a project or an exam). You an complete them as fast or slow as you want as long as you complete them by the due date. He lets you be as creative as you want with the projects and exams are on quizlet. EASY class to take with more difficult classes. 10/10!!!

His class is very easy with only 3 projects and 5 tests, dropping one of your lowest grades. His exams are open note. DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK! You will be fine with using the PowerPoint he gives. The projects are very easy and although he gave me a low score on one, I ended up passing the class with an A. Take him!!!!

There are 5 exams and 3 projects with the lowest grade dropped. Pretty easy class with everything open from the start so you can finish everything in the first month. He doesn't have a grading rubric for the projects so it's easy to stress and overthink it. Textbook is not mandatory but recommended for the exams, probably buy it online.

Loved this class. It was an easy A. We had 5 exams including the final. They were all open note! We had 3 projects, which were easy but difficult if you arent creative, there is no rubric for them. He drops your lowest grade. 10/10 would definitely recommend taking!

The class is not an easy A class, that everyone suggests, there are a total of 5 including the final, the exams are a little tricky you can find 80% of them on Quizlet, but not all of them, and you can't review your answers, you can't go back to your previous question after going to next question, and sometimes the question doesn't even save.

This class was NOT an easy A! However, that was ONLY because of the tests. Projects were easy A's; test were difficult and did not include information that was being covered There was a total of 5 test. It was hard to make A's on all tests except like 2. I ended the class with an 89 & he does not round up. It's an easy B: test make it not a easy A.

He doesn't provide a rubric for the projects and he'll take off points if you don't include something. Wish he gave clear instructions for what he's looking for. Other than that, Ortega is a great choice, take him!

Simple projects and you get to use your creativity which makes them fun. You only get 8 grades put in, so if you put effort in and do all assignments you will get an A.

This class was a bit frustrating. The professor relies on AI for almost everything. There's barely any real communication. Every email gets an automated response. Assignments are also graded by AI, so sometimes the grades don't really reflect the effort you put in. The class would be a lot better if there was more real feedback and interaction.

I'm pretty sure his entire curriculum is developed around AI and encourages you to use AI and I am pretty sure responds to you in AI and gives you feedback in AI, but to say for entrepreneurship that AI is the golden ticket to success is definitely the most entrepreneur thing I have learned from this class.

Easiest class ever. Consists of 4 open-book exams and 3 projects which he explicitly allows you to use AI to create them. Only annoying things about this class is that it's fully graded by AI instead of the professor which sometimes may not reflect your actual effort. Also it's annoying how exams and projects are due at 8:00 pm instead of 11:59 pm.
