He is a very tough grader, and is very hard to understand
He is great at making up his own words and passing them off as business terms.
Expects undergrad students to have the knowledge of MBAs with 10 yrs. experience

Dr. Canedy is an excellent teacher. This is a very difficult class but very worthwhile.
Basically runs the business department so can do whatever he pleases. As a teacher could a lot better.
Dr. Canedy is an extremely intelligent man who expects a lot from his students. If you don't like this class, then you are obviously lazy or weak-minded. I'm not even a business major, and I got an A in the class. All it takes if EFFORT.
This really was one of the best teachers I have ever had. He expects you to work, and expects to see results. If you dont do the work you will fail, no question. He has no problem making you retake the class

This professor is very confusing when he teaches.
Charles R. Canady is the best teacher i have ever had no question. i have no doubt that he is the best!!!
He really is the best teacher for this course. No tests only essays...use the paratext and you will do great.
AUC - Easy just use the paratext, MKT310 - Get in a good group, BAR110 - Hope for the best curve. He is brilliant and great once you get past his made up words
Great Teacher...use the paratext and you will do good on the tests..hard to understand his crazy words tough..
Makes up A LOT of words, and his tests are impossible to study for. Good luck business students!
Probably the best and most articulate professor at the university of hartford
Good Professor, a little too energetic in the morning. Trust me there is a point to his madness.
Charles Canedy is one of the smartest people i have ever met. If you can take him you should, he will teach you alot. He is confusing though.
He is a genious. Very entertaining and an outstanding professor, but you're definitely going to need a dictionary.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh run and hide freshman run and hide
VERY VERY VERY DIFFICULT!!!! He gave a sylibus that was like 50 pages long, and described all of his requirements in excrutiatingly long detail: Ie "Hasten to submit cybernetical communications numerous times to be certain of receipt by the professo
Took his course over the winter term, case study a night (30 pages long) very tough on his students but he is a fair grader. I would recommend him since you will learn a lot in his class.
awesome teacher... if this guy doesnt keep your focus on the subject i dont know who will. Canedy is the greatest teacher ive had
He's an excellent teacher. Just make sure you study the notes, pay careful attention in class, and be sure to pick group that you know will work to get the cases done...and DON'T get on his bad side!
Most boring teacher ever. wears a funny tupee and memorizes people by where they sit. i cant tell you enough how boring her is, i would never ever take him again if i was paid to even.
Don't let his brilliance turn you off - You will learn so much in this class that carries over to most job functions in the real world. Think he's tough? Wait til you get into the real world, with dealines and demanding bosses.
Why is it that you think Canedy is so brilliant?Is it because of the lexicon he uses?Or is it because of his "eccentric" attire.Just because someone is "smart" doesn't mean they're a good teacher.He is a terrible teacher.He doesn't take questions and his lectures are read from the paratext. SAD.
Hard and boring
Not too shabby
makes up his own words not helpful no questions during class...not good
Yes he is hard but if you work your ass off he will bump your grade up to a higher one
Incredibly difficult and asks a lot of his students, but you learn a lot if you pay attention. And don't piss him off!
GIGANTIC waste of time! Horrible teacher that just blurts out info from paratext!
two words - he's crazy!
Very good teacher. Many people seem to dislike him as times, but as long as you show up for his 8am class and pay attention, as well as put in an adequate amount of work for the case studies, and study for the 4 tests, you will do well and learn a lot.

Needs a new wig, avoid at all cost...waste of time
No Comments
easily the worst I've ever had, and I've had some awful teachers. boring as hell, "knows" a lot, and one could say he regurgitates a lot of factual information, but as a teacher he is pitiful. favors business students over all others, even though
No Comments
Very nice guy...and good teacher
I loved his class. People may think he is crazy, but he has a sense of humor a lot of people don't understand. I really enjoyed his class.
has to be absolutely the worst teacher i have ever had. Thinks he is teaching harvard and not hartford. Makes up words and pulls info out of his butt. Maybe too smart for us kids and no one understands him. Nice wig by the way. Run and hide from him= he knows everyones name and where you sit!
He's very smart and witty. Yes he's hard, but if you show up on time and actually do the work, you WILL pass. Makes up words that make you think.
Also, MKT 310 and MKT 490. Canedy is the man. If you show up on time, pay attention, and put the effort, you know what I'm talking about. He makes you work hard, but it's worth the learning experience.
It may seem like his class will be long and boring. If you pay attention and take good notes then really isn't that bad.
By far the most ridiculous teacher ever!!!!!!! SO HARD and tests are in french! Sucks that every business student has to go through hell! Jus kill yourself now! Run and hide!!! He makes up his own words and no one understands there notes! Good luck!
he is a little crazy, very hard and wears a toopae...
Nothing valuable is ever easy. You work your butt off. I got a B and was thankful for it! The man knows his stuff. You can't fault him for that!
crazy!!! but awesome!!! he is nuts get ready for 8am class he is so loud so you will prolly stay awake so hard tho you will have to do 50 page case studies and prolly wont do that good on them everyone fails his tests so he curves it and lastly on the first day he will have the whole class memorized by name and where they sit and he never forgets
Very hard class but he's the man. I'm sure Jerry o' panda and Mr. Derbasheeeer will agree.
he needs to get a hair piece that looks like it might actually be REAL!
After three classes, I can say I survived.
He is sooo crazy but you can't help but be entertained by him. He will have the entire class memorized on the first day and your papers will have wine stains on them when you get them back. As long as your papers are typed in his made up language (ie para-text and historagraphy) you will be fine.
Dr. Cannedy is the best professor I ever had. I took him for 3/4 four classes in the late 80's. He remembered everyone's name by the 2nd class in a room of 140 students. Once, in Gengras, I met him in the lunch line. We proceeded to get food togehter. He had mac salad, pickels, and marshmellow salad on one plate. That's what powers this guy.
dynamic, clear, and interesting course
Professor Canady's class was very good, he is a tremendous educator and a funny guy - I learned a great deal. His exams are difficult but he curves the final score.
great teacher. hard test and homework but its helpful and he has huge curves. Great guy all around. good to have him on your side
He is a good professor but his exams are really hard. He keeps the class interesting. Overall he is decent.
not bad
I would prefer not to take him again.
Luv em! Very knowledgeable and very funny, will def put you on the spot... tests are pretty difficult and i would recommmend you choose a good team to work with on case studies b/c that is the majority of your grade...learned alot though!
Had him for AUCS 130 and BAR 210. Nice guy, friendly. Gives a fair amount of work, expects you to put in the effort. Overall good guy, funny, but don't slack in his classes. Curves test scores. If you aren't a business student and you take AUCS 130, he grades the case studies easily.
great, memorable experience
He is the worst teacher. He only reads the bood, its a good and friendly guy but not a good profesor.
Amazing teacher. Best at the school hands down.

Great teacher. Lots of work. I'm not sure his grading measures anything. Grading is pretty abstract considering 70% of grade is based on a team of people with differing motives.
spends the first 20 min of each class verbally abusing his students, grades mean nothing.example:i received a 74 on our first exam the guy sitting next to me got the same number of questions wrong & received a 95. creates his own terminology that is used nowhere else, never take a class with him if u can help it
The reviewer that posted the comment about verbal abuse was in my class I believe but I have no idea what they were talking about. He's easy and fun. The paratext you use has all the notes from the course laid out for you, it's simple, and easy to study from. The tests aren't subjective, they're multiple choice and he curves A LOT if needed.
Professor Cannedy, Please discontinue verbally abusing your students during class. If you are going to respond online, please use the proper rebuttal. If memory serves well there is an option that says "professor rebuttal" option. Student rating is unnecessary for your use. It throws off the statistics. Thank you kindly. have a good day!
This guy is awesome. I was doing horribly up to the last couple of weeks of class. All you have to do is develop good study techniques and you will do well on the exams without the curve and even better with it. Also put as much information as possible in your scopeout. I ended up with a B+
Need to work hard. If you don't work he will fail you. He also hates dumb people. If he has ever made fun of you or "verbally abused" you, it is proably becuase you are one of those people. Argue with him, qyestion him and engage him and ask a lot of questions.Most people cower, if you stand up to him and assert yourself you will do quite well. (B+
To the commenter who posted about the professor rebuttal option, which post are you talking about? I don't see one where Canedy posted. I think you're mistaken. Anyway, read the paratext and it's simple. I got A's on all the tests without the curve. He curves like crazy on top of it too and calls you an overachiever. It's a good status to have. (A)
Had for Marketing and loved it so I took AUCW as well. Also, if you think he responded to any of this, you must not know him as the guy never even reads emails... If you send him an email, his TA prints it out and hands it to him, then the TA responds. Got a B in Marketing with him and then an A in AUCW since I figured out his system.
I have read some of the comments regarding this man as brilliant. This man is not brilliant. He has been teaching this class for many years and knows the material inside and out. He uses this knowledge as a weapon to humiliate his least favorite students. He is not helpful, does not respond to emails and is the most abusive teacher I have ever had.
cannot tell if he is serious with some of his comments or not.
All you have to do is show up and act interested. Read over his notes he already took for you. Ask some questions and try to hold a conversation with him. Challenge him with an original thought. Great guy easy to get along with. If you actually study his tests are easy.
Hands down the best teacher I had at Hartford. Will make you work and learn and entertain at the same time. Honestly, the only people that didnt enjoy or get something out of his class were the ones that didnt belong in college in the first place.
I've had him for several classes. He is an awesome professor that I would recommend to anyone. Unless, of course, you're an idiot. Then you might not like Canedy, he's not very forgiving of stupidity.
I had to take him for AUCS130 there was no way out. At first I liked him thought he was just kinda corky but he plays favorites way too much and most of his VIP row are morons you will learn nothing essential to real world business - his weekly paper formats - hand that to a boss you'll get fired for writing a whole paragraph that is one sentence.
Don't waste your time or energy. Don't be fooled by the comments from certain students that this man is brilliant. A brilliant man would not resort to fabricating words, arbitrarily assigning grades to his sycophants and bullying the students who are keenly aware that he is a sham. I found the smartest students received incomprehensibly low grades.
STAY AWAY, unless you are a great writer. He is so confusing because he asks you to read thirty pages then expects u to remember everything. Then for his tests he gives out papers. The paper handout is extremely confusing and he grades comparively as in, the best paper gets an A which is not fair. There are better AUCW classes out there.
He is one of worst teacher at the school as he is nearly impossible to understand, what with him making up words and yelling random students names mid sentence. He b.s.'s his way through topics he dosent fully understand and then says "ask another professor". He grades using the stair method as 6 hours of work/assignment should get higher than a 65
I was the only non-business major in his class, and he made a mockery of me. He is not afraid to make a fool out of anyone! I did all the homework, I attended classes, and I was engaged in conversation, however his class was the only one in my UHA career that I have no regrets in dropping.
I wish I could take all my classes with him, he was not easy but he had so much to give. Best memory ever, even after 10 years he still remember my name and country. God bless him for making my education worth.
The best professor I have ever had! Challenges your mind, is very enthusiastic about the subject, and always full of energy at 8 in the morning. Great teacher overall. Present yourself as a confident, curious, and hard-working student and you will be successful in his class.
Dr. Canedy remembered everyone's name in my class on the first day and it was one of two sections with about 100 students. He was a very difficult teacher, but everyone knew that going in and it motivated me (an average student) to try harder. I still remember stuff from that class almost 10 years later.
Very hard ,but you willl learn. Get on his good side and you will get a good grade.
One of the best professors i ever had and not because he was easy, but because he challenged you in which i learned a lot from his class. a tip would be take very good notes and be involved in class discussions.
Warning: If you are a Hartt student in a management program you will not be favored whatsoever. He told me on our first day I might be dropped because of a pre-requisite that didn't exist. If you are Barney he's an awesome guy. He sent away an acting major who had registered for the course already because he "wouldn't have a good background..."
One of the worst teachers I ever had. He verbally abuses you if you don't get the right answer and expects you to memorize every portion of the readings. Overall, a smart man but a lousy teacher.
Granted, he uses his Harvard level terminology and makes up words, but he is BY FAR the best professor you'll ever have. During the class, you might cry a little with all the studying and case studies, but it's worth it. After you graduate, you'll realize how lucky you were to have him.
He's an oddball, but if he sees that you try or care then he will do what he can to help. He doesn't spoon feed answers, he values independent thought. The negative reviews are probably from students who felt entitled to get a good grade or an easier time. He will make you work, but you will learn valuable a independent thought process from it.
I had him for at least four classes and after XX yrs I can tell you he was and is one of the best professors I ever had. Definitely UoH is a better school just because of him. I would suggest everyone to take a class with him. He is smart, challenging, inspiring, knowledgeable, helpful, fun. Only scores 120% in my book A++++++
Tough teacher. Pretty good sense of humor with some of the most interesting words that I've heard. Very tough grader, but does present the material in a very appealing fashion.. He knows what he's talking about.
Dr. Canedy is one of those educators you will never forget. Having graduated in 1982, I know from whence I speak. A "good education" encourages one to strive to attain your personal best. Dr. Canedy's teaching style demands alertness, critical thinking and execution by his students. "Professors" everywhere, could learn from him. A true gem.
Quiet the character. Tough class but it's definitely worth taking a class with him. Very intelligent and amusing making class enjoyable.
If you listen and work hard, he will appreciate it! Just sit in the front row and participate. I did do a lot of work, but I really learned a lot, overall if you are serious about marketing take a class with Cannedy, he will show you the ropes!
WORST PROFESSOR EVER. Assignments make absolutely no sense. Makes up words in class and makes you feel dumb when you get the answer wrong to his nonsense questions. He thinks that this is Harvard and looks down on anyone not in the Barney school of Business. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. YOU WILL FAIL!
Good Professor with knowledge on the topic. Very witty with his jokes in class. Participation is worth as much as the final so it is important you participate. A couple papers that were fairly easystraight forward. Overall a good class.
Very interesting class, he provides a lot of interesting facts about what you're learning in class. Very witty and has a good sense of humor. Grades tough, but provides very good feedback and is clear about what he expects from students on the first day. Class participation is a must!
Awful person
Looking back after 20 years after graduating, and having taken many other courses, training classes internationally, I can attest that Professor Canedy is one of the best ones I had. Yes you have to work hard, but he is very knowledge and extremely smart.
Brilliant man. Inspired me to join Innovators group. Saw potential in me and let me know it. Tough grader but college should be about learning. Not taking the easiest class and fake your gpa
Great Professor, but you should make sure that he knows your name and he likes you. About 5-10 people in the class actually get the best grades just because they are in good relations with the professor.
Professor assignments are somewhat vague to answer, he will ask you to present right up a marketing plan for several businesses throughout the course. There is no actual blueprint for making a good plan so you're left with hints from the professor and your own intellect. The assignments are group projects so kiss the A goodbye your team sucks
Respects students who respect him, do work and you get a good grade. Does favor Barney students, as I am in Barney I would know. But smart, witty, and well know professor who deserves the upmost respect
If you want a mentor, in hopes of bettering your understanding of core academic concepts, your character, and your opinions, learn with Dr. Canedy III. Earning my degree from UHa in science left me little time with Dr. Canedy III, however the few courses I did take with him, taught me how to tactically approach both academic and life scenarios.
Involves a lot of reading but the teacher is very nice.
Professor Canedy is a good teacher if you do your assignments correctly. He's very knowledgable. I have a copy of the require text for this course, it's the book with all the case study info in it. It's sold at the book store for $87.50 but I will sell it for $30. If interested, search "Business Ethics AUCS 130 Charles Canedy" on the app "let go"
Dr. Canedy is one of my favorite professors ever, an INCREDIBLY unique character, & good mentor. While the case studies are difficult, they teach you how to follow a specific format, and think independently. (His favorite word is sub-rubric). If you study, you should do well on the tests, provided you think logically. Challenge conventional wisdom!
Great professor, he knows his stuff and is very smart. Definitely buy the paratext, he will explain this in the first class. It will get you an A on all his tests! The case study scope outs he takes very seriously, so follow his guidelines perfectly. He notices and knows who is in his classes so if you skip he WILL call you out. He's a great guy!
He's got a personality that is tough to get along with, very rigid type person
Dr. Charles Canedy, my favourite professor in my four years. Took all 3 courses he taught with him. Very well respected in and out of Barney. His classes require you to be engaged. Hard grader but he adjusts your grade at the end based on his opinion of you. If you come to class, participate, get involved and try he will reward you in the end.
Prof Canedy is definitely not for everyone. His grading is extremely harsh, however he curves the final grades immensely (a 45 on an exam may end up being an A). His class may drive you nuts, but he is an amazing person who will help you out if you put in the effort. If you get to know him (just a chat every once in a while) that will help you too.
Canedy was literally the best professor I have ever had at UHa. It's rare to find a prof here who is so intelligent and inspirational. He's brilliant and really cares about his students getting a good education. He's a tough grader and likes to put you out of your comfort zone, but it's all for the purpose of learning.
Treats the general elective course as a serious hardcore Harvard class, and is a very hard grader. Didn't respect students in the class, unless they were from Barney. Incredibly rude, singled out students, and never wanted students to succeed. Offers three total papers, with the last one being the final, which will be a minimum of 10 pages. Nope.
He doesn't have respect for the students. He singles out a lot of students and even mocks some, and favors whoever is in the business school. He honestly makes up his own words and phrases and you have almost no time to take notes on what he says. He takes the class WAY to seriously even though most people are there just to fill a requirement.
Professor Charles Canedy was one of the greatest professors I ever had while going to UH. God bless him wherever he might be. His lectures were unique and information dense.
