What a joke. 4 long HW assignments (questions from end of chapter), can work with others on it. Not many people went to class. The 3 exams had nothing to do with the class discussions but we're open book/notes. He scaled them a lot because everyone b*tched. Learned nothing.
Has more enthusiasim about teaching then I have ever seen in a teacher before!
ZZZZ...All he does is read from his powerpoint slides. I only brought the book to class so I could rest my head on it. The most boriest class in the world. He scales the test insanely in your favor. But I didnt learn a thing
succcch a nice guy, i turned in my articles like 7 weeks late and he didnt even care, scaled the tests insainly, he is just such a nice person you cant help but like him even tho qba is the most boring class ever, he didnt even check homework, just said he was giving everyone full credit at the end of the semester
This man was so ridiculously nice. Practically did backflips for us, was super accomodating with work, always let people hand stuff in later, and was always willing to explain things in detail. Yeah, ok, the class was boring, but it's OPERATIONS MGT. What do you expect? Seriously, one of the nicest profs I've had.
not a great teacher, but a fantastic person overall and he is always in a good mood and that puts you in a good mood. you feel a little lost in class on day to day basis but the review sheet before tests helps you and he scales alot!
He was great, enthusiastic about teaching and tries to make sure everyone is understanding the material. Tests are very hard, but he has an awesome scale.
Great professor, very energetic and fun. Sometimes hard for him to convey information, but scales test. Recommend him
one of the best prof. on campus. if you are looking for an easy professor, he's the man! very energetic in class, scales every test. The trick is to sit in first few rows of his class and let him learn your name. as long as you pretend to pay attention, you'll get a good grade.
easy grader like the person said before sit in the first two rows let him learn your name paricipate and he will give you an A scales a good amount if you pay attention he is a wicked smart guy and really knows what he is talking about feel bad for him because no one shows up because he does not take attedance. 2 tests 5 case studies and some hw
One of the best professors i've had at UMD. Very enthusiastic, truely enjoys teaching and makes sure his students learn the material. Let him learn your name, participate in class and you'll be golden!
Very energetic and passionate about operations management and teaching. Participate in class and make him know your name, because he rewards participation.
Love him! He's a great teacher and a wonderful person. He is sooo energetic and enthusiastic about the subject. He cares about the students understanding the material and doing well for their own sakes. I would def take another class with him.
Dan Braha is the best professor at UMD!
Great energy, great knowledge. Real asset to the student population.
Professor Braha is the man! He is concerned about you as an individual, and has a true passion for teaching.
The use of case studies was good. Love this class.
Braha is amazing! He has great energy and desire to engage the students. He should be rewarded and given a raise.
One of the most caring teachers I have had at UMass. Unlike most of the classes I take, this course helped me use a bit portion of what I have learned in my real life. Best professor ever!
Best professor in UMASS. Gets students involved in discussions, and makes class fun and interesting. His exams are fair and reward students that attend class, participate, and do the assignments. I will definitely take another class with him.
Great Professor. His class is not easy but he makes everything crystal clear! He is really helpful and he does care if students are learning or not. Professor Braha is the best professor ever.
Best professor ever!! He is insanely hilarious and his classes are always interesting. Everything on the test/hw is gone over thoroughly in class, so getting a good grade isn't hard if you pay attention. i definitely recommend him to anyone!
Professor Braha has been honored several awards for excellence in teaching within UMass. I joined his course, and I understood exactly why. Take it!
The smartest and funniest professor at UMass.
Professor Braha is a genius that takes teaching seriously. He brings invaluable insights to this (potentially boring) course.
he is great take him if you get the chance great guy and teacher
He is the best! His explanations are usually very thorough and the energy he brings to class is unmatched. Tests are super easy.
Great professor. Well prepared for class. He provides handouts for all the material. He reviews the homework in class to make sure that you understand and he gives a practice exam before the text. As long as you do the practice work and pay attention when he tells you what is important to know this is an easy course!
He loves his job and it shows. He uses the book very little and tells you up front to buy an older edition to save money. Only two exams, mid-term and final, some homework gets collected and when he remembers he takes attendance. He doesn't let anyone fail. If you can, take him.
He was always well prepared for class, engaged the class, and made sure we all understand the material thoroughly. He is an asset to the university, and I feel honored to have had Prof. Braha as my instructor.
Fantastic course. Really enjoyed this class. Excellent Professor, teaches well and makes everything interesting. Book was expensive, and the professor offered to lend me his book. Best instructor @ UMD.
Dan gets way to excited for class that it is hard to follow along. The material is simple but I do not like the way he teaches. Great guy though.
Dan should write the textbook for this course! He has a unique and effective style of teaching. Best prof. at UMD.
Outstanding professor! His explanations of complex concepts are lucid. The real world perspective that he brings to class is priceless. Other professors should watch and learn from THE MAN.
Prof. Braha is the man! By far one of the best professors I’ve had since being @ UMD He cares about the students and their interest in the subject. I learned a lot, and really enjoyed his class. UMD needs more teachers like him.
Take this class!!!! He is the best professor I have ever had. His class is very fun and you will laugh a lot. He makes a difficult subject very easy. 100% recommended.
Prof Braha is the best Professor I've ever had. He makes a difficult subject easy to understand, has amazing energy in every class, and keeps everyone laughing and engaged - even when the subject matter is boring. I wish I had him for all of my classes!
This class wasn't easy at all. Braha is very loud and animated and loves what he teaches. I wasn't expecting to work so hard for this class. Homeworks are long and don't fall behind on them.
Professor Braha is one of the best instructors at the university. One of the best professors I have ever had.
Great class!! I want me some Braha.
Dan Braha is Amazing!
Professor Dan Braha is not only a great lecturer, but also a good man and motivator that cares about the best possible learning experience for you.
Absolutely the man when it comes to any operations class. Not only is his class extremely easy (115% on the midterm), he's also very energetic and will keep you paying attention in class. Class participation matters a lot to him, so if you frequently participate he will ALWAYS give you the benefit of the doubt on anything. Take him. So worth it.
Great professor. Pulls you in; very into his subject. Focused on the students and is a very fair grader.
Awesome lecturer. The best professor at UMASSD and any I've had yet. Very helpful and interested in you getting the material. He is also funny, energetic, and kind. His lectures keep you focused and interested. Definitely take him for the courses he teaches. Had POM 333 and 345 with him this term; any other prof. I'd have failed or close to it.
Dan THE Man (what more to say?). Best professor at UMASSD! Totally there for the students success. Best lecturer and motivator. Definitely take him for all of your POM courses.
Braha's a great guy. He's nice and he's the life of the party BUT you most likely will not learn. He is all over the place. His course schedule is disorganzed. His teaching method is confusing and he covers it up with jokes. Nice, but you won't learn a thing. He's easy on the grading though so you'll prob get an A or B.
Braha is fair, knowledgable, and most of all a good person. I learned how to think in this course.
The course is well structured and organized. He always makes sure you understand the material before going on to the next topic. There is never a dull moment in this class!
The case studies discussions were lively and informative. This is real stuff. Best prof ever!
Prof Braha should teach more courses at the CCB. He is priceless!!
"There is no free lunch in business" -- words to live by. I love Dan!
Easily the best professor I've had, he wants to have a good time and loves interacting with his students. I cant wait to take him again next semester. He makes sure everyone understands the material and will email a student back any time (eg 11pm). uploads the homework so you don't really need the book if you pay attention in class
Awesome guy! For Pom 333 there are only two tests (final and midterm) and for Pom 345 there are two tests (final and midterm) plus 3 or 4 case studies which are very east and laid back. He scales all exams 10-30 points!
Professor Braha is a brilliantly engaging professor who explains concepts using real world examples. He always makes the hard material easy and fun. Although the exams are difficult, he fairly curves the results. Great professor! Great class!
He's one of the best professor here. Accept late assignments and homework's. He's willing to help as long as you ask him. Make his class interesting and gives jokes. Give extra point for going to class.
I had Braha for both Pom 333 and 345. His tests are difficult, and homeworks are not bad. He lets you submit assignments in groups of 2 or 3. His "study guides" are the least helpful material ever. Nothing to do with whats on the exam so dont rely on it and study from your HW, PPT, and notes. You are allowed to bring a formula sheet to his exams.
Best professor I had. Made class interesting and engaging. Exams are graded fairly. Highly recommended.
This guy's definitely a one of a kind professor. he brings a great energy with him to class and he encourages active participation throughout. His assignments are clear to understand and he accepts late work.
Braha is the best. He let's you hand in homework and case studies late if you ask him. He's super understanding. I also have a lot of respect for him after a recent situation I was put in by my group. He makes class interesting and encourages class participation! He's the best.
I enjoy his class but I feel like I learn almost next to nothing! Class materials are ones; exams are others. He scaled a lot on the exams! What does this tell you? Students didn't learn enough materials to take the exams! I would take this class from someone else if I can. The reason I took it from him was because of previous good reviews.
Best prof I had. Material was very usefulparticularly the real world case studies. Fair grader. Definitely would recommend to others. An engaging and fun class. I want some Braha!
Simply the best. Interesting, funny, and fair. Its important to participate in class and follow closely the material. This will greatly help towards the exams. Many of the questions in the exams are actually reviewed during the course!
Braha is hands down the best prof at UMassD. If you study well and attend classes, you have a good chance to ace the course or as Braha says to get A++!
Brahas style of teaching cant be imitated. There is only one Braha! Highly recommended.
Terrific professor. I learned a lot through case studies and engaging discussions. I would recommend to slightly reduce the homework load, but overall prof braha is the man!
Great prof. Extremely good speaker, has the ability to convey complicated concepts in an engaging and intuitive way. Above all, he is a good man.
Prof. Braha is one of the best professors I have come across in UMass. He is very familiar with the material, and makes every class a pure joy. Participation in class matters.
Dont know why everyone loves him so much. Makes extremely inappropriate jokes in class that shouldnt be said to a class. Maybe the immature boys will appreciate that, but definitely dont feel comfortable as a woman in that class .
Prof. Braha brings incomparable joy, energy, and humor to class. Definitely will take again his classes.
Very serious but laid back and highly respectful to everyone. Fair grader.
Braha is an amazing professor, and the best I've had so far at UMD. His lectures were insightful, and the skills he teaches us are useful in nearly every discipline. I appreciate how often he gave us a chance to share our opinions and views on a given subject matter. Everyone should take his classes. His humor is slightly unusual, but still sweet.
Dan is an awesome teacher, always keeping everyone entertained by his jokes. If you study and do the case studies then the class is a breeze.
Professor Braha is so cool and a great professor. Funny guy and likes the material he teaches. Wish I could take another class with him. Such a nice guy that is really understanding!
Prof. Braha is awesome. I don't know why people are saying his exam are harder you just have to study and read the book
Great Professor, probably my favorite one I have had at UMD. Really engaging lectures that actually makes me want to participate. Very funny guy as well. Would recommend to anyone with a sense of humor.
Great class, professor made it fun and interesting. He is very funny but sometimes inappropriate but not intentionally.
I love professor Braha!! His class is extremely entertaining, he is always cracking jokes. The homework, case studies, and exams are all fairly easy. I recommend him! He's great.
One of my favorite teachers so Far. He is such a funny guy and if you participate he really makes sure you learn. Exams can be difficult but he gives you all the material you need to pass and if you take a little time they will be no problem.
I'm not good at math, but this class is relatively easy. The homeworks are all found on Chegg. His tests are in person, and the case studies are a bit of a drag, but he grades really easy and allows you to work with friends on all assignments.
Absolutely the best. Cares so much for his students and tries to make class interesting. The GOAT
Professor Braha is hilarious and does a great job of interacting and engaging with his students, he really cares about how they do in the class. The exams are a bit tough and have a considerable weight on the final grade but he scales them.
Great professor, he is hilarious, caring, and as long as you study the practice questions and textbooks, you'll do very well in his class. Not a ton of homework and only 2 exams. I enjoy his class a lot and have retaken him again this semester. Highly recommend him for POM 333 and POM 345.
Fantastic professor, Exams were somewhat challenging but he gives plenty of extra points and really cares about participation in classroom discussions. Easy choice for the GOAT of UmassD
Such a great personality and makes lectures super entertaining. Would highly reccomend!
best professor in the school, easy to follow and entertaining lectures, nothing like a normal lecture. one of the first professor ive seen that enjoys his job which makes the classes way better. There is a hw assignment every week or two with a midterm and final.
bad professor
One of those rare teachers who make even the hardest topics make sense and actually makes you excited to learn,
You can tell the professor really cares about making sure every student feels seen and supported.
Hands down, the best professor I have ever had. Highly recommend.
Legendary, and the best professor in the school.
Braha is the greatest teacher of all time. Every professor at UMass Dartmouth could take notes from Professor Braha. He is enthusiastic and engages the whole class—even on the toughest days. It was a pleasure and a privilege to be in his course. He's extremely funny and a great professor, and POM 345 was easy to follow.
This guy is the man! By far one of the best I've had at UMD. If all professors were like Braha this University could be on Harvard's level. He genuinely cares about his students and their interest in the subject.
Incredible professor. Funny, helpful, and clear. Always willing to help. Tests aren't too hard, just a few research papers that are a lot towards the end but they aren't super hard. I'd take him for every class if I could.
what a cheap joke...
The most amazing professor I have had at UMassD. Extremely funny and caring. Long live Braha!
I wish all professors were like professor Braha. I learned a lot from this class.
Great professor very communicative and caring, and really wants his students to learn and progress in life. Most likely the best professor on campus at UMD.
Best professor at UMD. Keeps the class interesting, keeps students engaged, and truly cares that they actually learn.
One of the best professors I've had in my four years at UMD. He is very smart and has an awesome, engaging teaching style that makes learning fun. He really cares about all of his students.
A very positive and fun professor who keeps class funny and engaging. One of the best I've ever had at UMass Dartmouth. Thank you, professor!
Professor Braha is an excellent instructor. The course is very well organized, and he explains concepts clearly and in a way that is easy to understand. POM345 with professor Braha is a really enjoyable class, and his teaching methods are highly effective. I only wish more professors taught the way he does.
He's funny, enthusiastic, and you can tell he really loves teaching. He always comes in with good energy, makes people laugh, and still keeps everyone focused. He remembers your name, makes you feel welcome, and you never feel dumb for asking a question. His expectations are clear, his examples make sense, and he really wants all to do well.
There once was a teacher named Braha, Who turned “boring” to moments of aha! With patience and cheer, He makes tough stuff seem clear— So they all shout, “Dan's the man—that's our Braha!”
Professor Braha is hands down the best professor at UMD.
By far the best and funniest person I have met. He's so sweet and truly cares about his students. There's case studies that you have to write 4 through out the semester that are 4 pages each. But they are not too bad. His lectures are fun and interactive.
