Makes the class about as good as it could be.

Too much work for one unit class. Don't reccommend

Very meticulous. Every class meeting is packed with information. Has readings every week, 2 short papers, and a cumulative final on the concepts. 40% of grade is participating in every class and takes attendance 4 times randomly. Know how to apply concepts & readings for the final. More time needed than usual for a one unit class, but worth it.

Conscientious and prompt. Answers EMail right away with helpful response. Very available to students. Attendance and participation are important. Class is not easy, and maybe too much work for one unit, but he did a good job with the time available. Not recommended for students who procrastinate or think that having to go to class is an imposition.

attendance/participation is 40%, 2 application papers worth 30%, and a final worth 30%. I had a B+ going into the final and got a C- in the class. the final is TOUGH - so prepare for it. It's DEFINITELY a lot of work for a 1 unit class. Do the class and ECR readings to keep up with him. He's a tough grader!

Lots of work for 1 unit, felt like a 3 unit class. Class was never boring, he makes sure concepts are clear. Always available to students. Papers are hard, final is do-able. Looking for an easy grade... take someone else. Looking to not be bored in class... take him.

If you want learn take Dan and be ready to do what it takes. Should be a 3 unit class because of the work one has to do. He know his stuff! Do NOT let your first impression of him turn you off, he will grow on you and is an outstanding teacher. Hard greader and the final is very tricky. Not a class to take lightly with this teacher. Atten. a MUST!

WAAAYYYY too much work for a 1 unit class. Should be worth more units. Went into the final with an A- left with a C. Very tricky and an extremely hard grader. If you have other options, use them.

Excellent professor... Best teacher ever in San Diego State.. Very strict when it coomes to attendance.. he is a funny guy... organized.. will answer your email immediately.. very helpful.. The class itself was hard, but I have learned a lot.. Lots of readings.. You must learn how to apply concepts..

the five week class was intense but doable. attendance was mandatory because it was such a short term and was 40% of the grade. he's not that hard of a grader and he's pretty funny. he responds quickly to emails and is very helpful. the final wasn't bad and the assignments are easy.

I loved Eaton- He is so intelligent/really wants his students to succeed. This class is simple- study, do the reading: Get an A or B EASILY! Test is well-written, a little tricky but doable. I got an A- in the end. There was a bit of reading/a lot of blackboard material but again, do-able! i say take him, put the time in and you'll see results

A lot of reading and comprehension for a 1 unit class. Tests are very challenging. You better have a very good grasp of all theoretical concepts before the test. All test questions are situations that you must apply theories that you have learned. Never thought a 1 unit class would be my hardest of the semester.

The readings on the reserve are much more weighted if we compare the # of questions coming from the book, and from these. DO NOT watch the videos the night before the exam because the server can go down and then you’re screwed. Download the new realplayer and record the videos instead, watch them over and over during your free time.

WOW!!!!! What a character this guy is!! I was laughing the entire time in class!!! Sometimes with him, but mostly at him.. He's an incredible teacher who makes you think outside of the box. The final is VERY challenging, tests are straight forward but you have to read and watch the videos.

He's so crazy. Only one of his kind. He is some what spasmatic, but cool. Good lecturer. He knows his stuff, but moves very fast. There's a lot to remember, but its not really difficult. Let him review your 1st paper or you will be sorry.

This guy is indeed a character but I loved it. Kept the class interesting! Hes the guy from the video notes and is very quick with grading and ready to help. Just seems happy about life and in a great mood always. Will be taking him again this semester because he just captures the classes attention. Do take!

This guy is crazy but he is actually a pretty good teacher who loves the suject. If you have to take this class take Eaton.

do take him! he's funny and straightforward. it's too bad that his voice is weird and you have to watch his video. he also offered closed captioning for those who can't understand his voice in video (i swear i'm not making this thing up) downloadable via blackboard. very helpful!

Thoroughly enjoyed the class. He is odd and self-promoting, but he is a great professor. Have to go to class to get the class participation credit, but he makes the class fun and beneficial. Grades fairly. The class is a lot of work and the final is tough. Can't vouch for his 300 class, but his 460 class was the best I've taken at SDSU.

would take again. Distance class so must attend 3 times. read your book, watch videos a few times, participate in class, write essay it counts, but not mandatory. don't save study for last minute. fun guy, class time goes very fast. knows his stuff, great content. it takes about an hour to realize he is chill.

Very good professor keeps you on your toes, if you cannot handle him you may not be cut out for business

Hard teacher, must attend all classes. Will not curve at all. What you get on your grades is what you get as your grade. Strict to his policies. Class meets 3 times, you must attend all. First to exams are easy, final is graduate level.

Dan is the man! You don't have to go to class, but participation points can help you out if you don't do well on the paper or exams. I learned a lot from this class and actually kept the book, even though they were buying back. You have to do the reading, but the key is to understand the outcomes of the cases in class. GREAT CLASS! Kept us laughing

I disagree with the commenter below. I received an A on the narrative essay... however this class is challenging! I've been on the dean's list past few semesters and struggled with this class. Ended with C+. Dan is a great professor, he REALLY REALLY cares about the material. Funny guy too, he'll make fun of you and other kids. HE IS VERY PUNCTUAL.

The class only meets twice. The videos can get boring but you need them for the tests which are application questions. Just read, watch the videos, & study the slides your fine. there's also a 350 word paper connecting concepts to a your choice of 3 scenario given its also super easy. the class is entertaining for what it is

A lot of work for a one unit class. Book is very hard to comprehend. The reading is a must, the videos provided is a must, attendance is a must. He is hilarious and nice! When he asks you a questions make sure you answer it clearly, if not you are done for!

This class is alright. Not extremely hard but not easy. Just read the assigned pages from the textbook and listen to the videos and you will do fine. Eaton is a smart dude and made the class sessions go by pretty fast.

Professor Eaton was a great teacher. He was extremely enthusiastic about the subject and knows a lot. His lectures were interesting and the skits were not bad at all. This class is not easy though. It requires a lot of reading and the final is very difficult. Take it during the summer so it does not get in the way of your other classes.

Great Prof!!

I almost didn't take him because the reviews made him sound horrible. He's awesome! He's really fun and he cares about what he teaches. There are skits in the class and he reads from plays. You can tell he's into theatre a lil bit. Be prepared to learn a decent amount, even if it is just a 1 unit class. 2 tests and a Final. Wish it was a 3unitclass

Professor Eaton really enjoys this stuff and he makes it interesting. It's not easy, and he's kinda out there, but I think he did a great job. Also, he'll know everyone's name by the end of the first day.

Great teacher. If you have to sit through a class it might as well be with this goofball. The work load is not very much considering how short the class is. I did all the readings and videos two days before the class and got A's. No need to take notes, just read the syllabus and come to class prepared. Expectations are very straight forward.

Class is part online/part on campus, and Professor Eaton made in-class sessions fun. Do the readings, watch the lectures, participate in class, read and follow all directions, and you'll do great.

He really cares that you understand. He actively gets students involved. 2 warnings if you come to class with an additude he will call you out. Don't test him on time in any way. Turning in test, quiz, leaving early etc. Work hard and read video transcripts and you will do great. Good luck.

Eaton is a good teacher. The class is a little tough because it's all mostly online, but I still got a B+ in the end. Take the Saturday class, it seriously isn't that bad! You're gonna have to put in some effort though to pass cause the tests are kind of hard and he uses a lot of examples from the book.

Eaton is awesome! You HAVE to show to class if you want participation points. Every class you act out 2 skits pertaining to actual legal cases in CA. 3 quizzes, 1 paper, & 1 cumulative final. Most of his questions come from the reading, but the concepts are what you must understand. I learned a lot this semester and enjoyed his class very much

Focus on the vocab and you should be fine on the tests. If you want to put in the extra work, really read the book to get a few more questions right on the test.

Professor have a great character, likes to teach and want you to do well in his class. It is only one credit but you need to work as if it was 4 units or more! You NEED to participate or your chances to pass this class are small! I just finished this class. He elaborate his exams based on recent articles from wsj NY time, so always new exam!

I did not take his class but Professor Eaton taught the second portion of my summer session BA 300. Mr. Eaton is brilliant, enthusiastic, and just quirky enough that the entire class was giggling the whole time. He got a round of applause after a 4 hour lecture. I have NEVER seen a professor get applauded for teaching. That says enough right there.

This was the most professional professor I have ever had. I was inspired by him just because of how accomplished he is. You need to read in order to do well on the quizzes and final. I learned the hard way. His quizzes are hard because you need to get used to how he asks his questions, so take advantage of the online practice quizzes.

Took him this semester on Saturdays. Professor Eaton is very organized, knowledgeable and hilarious! You do have to read the book, if you wanna do well on the tests. Don't go in thinking that it's Ethics, so it's common sense and you'll just ace everything without putting in any work. That's the biggest mistake students make and then regret it.

Class is not the hardest but it is not easy either. Make sure to read well and use the practice exams to better understand the information. There's a decent amount of work for a 1 unit class, but the class is required for many business majors so you have no choice.

Professor Eaton is brilliant. Classes are mandatory but there are only 2 classes. Tests are easy if you read and watch the video lectures. One paper only 2 pages. Professor Eaton is crazy but also very smart at the same time.

Don't let the awful BA300 videos fool you, Eaton is a great lecturer. His lectures are long, but engaging and extremely useful. This was probably the most useful class I've taken at SDSU. Cumulative final, but he offers a very helpful review session outside of class time. Attendance is mandatory in the sense that you need participation points.

Once you get used to his voice (he sounds like a cartoon voice actor) he is actually a solid lecturer. He is very detailed about assignment requirements. In-class exams often pull examples straight from the book, so they are difficult if you rely only on the videos. Just read and go to class and you should be fine.

I did not know what to expect taking this class. For my lower division Ethics requirement I took an online class and googled all the answers, so I came in with a pretty clean slate. Prof Eaton was among the best presenters of a topic I have seen, and I have seen MANY. He should stop teaching students and start teaching teachers to be more like him.

He is one of the best professors I have ever taken a class with. He explains things clearly and makes the class meetings interesting. Two 4 hour long in class meetings throughout the semester but he keeps students interested in what he is talking about. If you want to learn, take this professor. Not easy if you don't study enough.

The best instructor I have ever had. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and makes a 3 house class go by like its nothing. Keeps entire class engaged throughout lectures. The material is basic. Watch the online videos, pay attention in class, and put in maybe an hours worth of studying for the test and youll earn an A and will learn a lot.

He made a Saturday class very interesting with his enthusiasm and the way he teaches. If you don't like to participate in class discussion don't take this class because it is a mandatory requirement. As long as you read the book, watch the videos, and memorize the terms you should pass no problem.

This class is hard for a one unit but well worth it. You must read the first, second, third and fourth modules before the first class. Every time you meet for class there is an exam. Read the book watch the videos and you'll do fine. Make sure you know your theories well.

Watch all lectures. Read everything assigned. Take notes on all material covered. BE PREPARED BEFORE THE IN-CLASS SESSIONS. Participate early during sessions to get credit or immediately do alternate option after class. Go to review if offered. 1 short, simple essay. Easy class as long as you don't procrastinate and put in enough effort.

BA300 is a straightforward class and he makes it quite entertaining. The two class meetings are lengthy but he makes them bearable with his interactive approach. He is a very straight forward guy, and will call people out for being disruptive or late and participation is key. As long as you do the reading and study the book you should pass!

Great lectures from Eaton that keep you interested during class. Need to read all the chapters for exams. No shortcuts with this class. Don't waster your time thinking your going to prep for exams by going to internet for answers. Exams are really comprehensive with convoluted questions. Must know the content of book to answer the Q's.

I thought he was a character on video, in real life, he is absolutely hilarious. I laughed almost the entire class. He remembered my name early on because I answered a question that apparently no one gets. He finds ways to remember everyone. It's quite amazing. This class is not for the faint of heart. He is really clear on what he expects.

The best class you can take if you want to pursue a career in HR. Participation and attendance mandatory, but he makes it easy to participate. He can be funny depending on your humor. A few quizzes, two tests, and a paper but he curves the class to the highest grade earned. Favorite class I have taken at state in all four years.

Eaton is a great professor for BA 300. I was nervous to take him but I am so glad I did. The class meets 3 times and each class there is an exam followed by a 4 hour lecture. The first two quizzes are all detailed from the book and lecture and the final exam was easy. He held a review session for us and is always available for office hours. AMAZING

he is actually inspiring and an awesome guy. the book matters, he tests on it. class isn't even crazy hard, people who say so are just lazy tbh. its all concepts and pure memorization. good choice for 300. DO NOT MISS THE CLASS classes, make sure you talk for participation and you'll be fine and get an A.

Most valuable class you will take. Prof. Eaton does not make you spend $100+ on a texbook and instead uses an employer handbook, which is much more relatable and useful in real management situations. This is the second course I take with him and would take him again. His sense of humor makes long class go by fast. Definitely recommend!

Not everyone's cup of tea, but He is an awesome professor. BA 300 is a hard class, but Eaton makes it seem easy. Here are my recommendations: Read the assigned readings he tests on them, View the videos he tests on them, and participate in class it' 20% of the grade. He offers a study session before the final, go to it and the final will be easier

An exam for both in-person class sessions, 1 application assignment, & 1 final. Exam grades are determined by a class curve & mandatory class participation points, as well as attendance. Come to class prepared for the 2 midterms & final with a CRISP Scantron. Really funny, but can be intimidating, as he will purposely try to challenge you in class.

One of the best classes you can take at SDSU. His class format is taught in a way that will engage you! All MGT majors should add this class. The information learned in this class will highly be of use in the future. Attendance is mandatory. Don't fall behind on the reading and participate!! Thank you Professor Eaton!!

His lectures are SUPER entertaining. Quizzes are really difficult, you really need to do the readings and watch the videos prior. Participation is huge. The class is long but he keeps it engaging the whole time.

Lectures are actually engaging! He can come off kinda impatient but he is definitely aware of that and explained that it's just because he has limited time to get through a lot. Don't take it personally. Definitely take him if you actually don't like being bored during class.

Professor Eaton is a good professor. He makes BA 300 easy and I highly recommend him. I would definitely take him again

The people that find Dan Eaton rude are just sensitive, there was nothing rude about him. He just comes off impatient but it's more that he is abrupt, rather than actually being rude. I find this class to go by fast for 3.8 hour class.

Read and re-read the textbook. Use Quizlet, review again and again until it makes sense to you (some of them will be on test tho) and re-watch the videos. He curves a lots too. You must read book or you fail.

If you have the chance to take MGT 464 or Eaton do it!! He is by far one of the best professors I have ever had. All these other people complaining on here are people who dont want to learn and engage. Eatons classes are interactive, and truly get you to understand the material. I am shy and I felt 100% comfortable participating in class. TAKE HIM!

YOU NEED TO TAKE EATON. This man is HILARIOUS, and his class completely changed my worldview of ethics/morality. I feel like a much better person because of this class -- he presented difficult issues in interesting and informative ways, and always opened the floor for conversation. Lifechanging. 1000% would take again.

Possibly the best professor at SDSU. I almost dropped after the first class because he seemed so scary, but I'm so glad I didn't. He is HILARIOUS and always has a lot of energy during class. Class is set up as an ethical discussion and everyone is expected to participate. He really wants you to succeed. Never thought ethics could be so interesting.

He's one of those professors who utilizes the whole 2 hours and 40 minutes, but the good thing about him, is that he helps it go by fast. For those who are shy and timid, this class is participation based, but he makes it comfortable enough for people to share and answer his questions. Overall, I recommend (especially in person).

It's a lot for a 1 unit class but what you learn is important, relevant, and seen consistently in businesses every day. The hardest part is you are graded on so few things so study well, watch the videos, and read the book.. Don't think you can go into a test without studying, answers can be very similar and hard to know which one to pick.

Its funny because as a (business) ethics professor, hes kind of rude. But anyway, this class should definitely not be a ONE unit class, based on how much work and reading is involved in the course. The tests can also be quite difficult.

If you have the opportunity to take Prof. Eaton's course TAKE IT! All the courses for BA-300 are almost 4 hours long and he makes the time fly by. Class is extremely engaging. If you do all the reading and lecture material provided you will be golden and have an amazing experience.

Eaton was hilarious. People on here saying he was rude do not know how to be told they're wrong, because something about him is that he is very blunt and will tell you your answer is not correct on the spot but not in a disrespectful way. If you don't read/take notes + watch videos, you won't pass. Videos are a small portion of content. 2 mid 1 fin

He is hilarious!! Class is all based on a huge curve. Everyone failed every test but participated in class and passed. Taking him again for a different course. You only show up to class 2 times in the semester the rest is online at your own time.

three classes that you must attend in order to pass. HILARIOUS professor who makes the 3+ hour block both entertaining and engaging. never opened the textbook, watched lectures, or took notes outside of class but still managed to score above the mean on every exam (around 50%) and end with a B after participation and curve. super fun class

Only lasts 1 month & a half, the whole time you're asynchronously reading chapters and taking notes on accompanying VIDEOS (key study material) - then you get quizzed the material reading. Two quizzes (each covers two blocks of material) in two class meets. the 3rd time you meet you have a cumulative final. Ultimately, its very doable & most get B-

If you are sensitive you will have a hard time in this class. Professor Eaton is hilarious and engaging. If you can understand his goofiness then you will have a great time watching him and listening to his lectures. You do have to participate in every class but he makes it more of a discussion and just wants you to critically think. Awesome 10/10

Really engaging and fun class to attend. Eaton does an excellent job at teaching the material and it's not a lot of work. Read all of the assigned reading (which takes under an hour each week) and participate in class and you will have an easy time. One of the best teachers in the Fowler School of Business. I learned so much. Take him!

Probably the most interesting professor I've had, which makes the class fun. Doesn't use powerpoints for lectures, encourages class participation which makes the two 4 hour lectures tolerable. Personality is a little different, comes off kinda rude/intimidating and can be scary to talk to lol. But also makes jokes and cares about his class.

Before taking Professor Eaton I was slightly concerned regarding some of the reviews on this website. I found myself thoroughly enjoying the lectures and being surprised with how quickly the lecture went. It felt like more of a comfortable group discussion than that of a purely lecture based class. Genuinely funny as hell too, 100% recommend.

Man, I love Prof. Eaton! I dreaded being stuck 3+ hours in class. However, he structures the class in which everyone participates in our class discussions. He's a funny guy and really cares for his students. He holds a review session on Zoom days before the final and tries his darn best to clarify any confusions we have about the material. 10/10!

Such a fun law class to take. He really knows his material and is very passionate. He is funny but very strict on people participating. His tests are a bit challenging but he curves, I suggest never missing a class of his. They are all very informative! Great professor overall!

Funny and has a different teaching style. Heavy emphasis on participation. Comes off as rude and might interrupt you, but 1-1 nice and understanding. He does use the entire 7-9:40pm session so be ready for late nights. There is a curve at the end, but still do well on quizzes and the paper. Everything is straightforward with the readings.

Eaton is funny and super energetic. Definitely take him for B A 300 as he makes the 4 hour lectures seem to go by very fast. Class is graded on participation, 2 exams, and a final. Don't really have to study that much, just read over a quizlet a couple times and you will pass easily.

Took Fall 23. Overall was a good experience! Make sure to read and use Quizlet for challenging quizzes and exams. Class participation is a must. Made the 4 hour classes go by fast, 20 question quizzes/50 question final exam. I found quiz/exam difficult as there is so much info, class has a nice curve. Don't miss class as you will most likely fail

class is super low maintenance bc u only show up 3 times a semester (tests given every class). just study before lecture and participate during class and u should be good to pass. no one scores 100% on the exams but its ok cuz it has a super heavy curve at the end of the semester. he made the 4hr lecture go by fast.

Where do I even begin? Daniel Eaton is a stand-up man and his class is nothing short of extraordinary. He is definitely one of the professors I will remember for the rest of my life. He has so many interesting stories and an interesting, yet charming sense of humor. Quizzes should be easy if you read and study. Impressive man and class.

His lectures are long but he's funny, so if it's between him and prof ryan, take Eaton. He's entertaining and does a big curve at the end. If you are shy and dont like to talk in class, you probably should avoid this prof. He is very intersting and there is not a lot of actual homework just a lot of reading.

This class only meets 3 times a semester for over 3 hours. I would definitely recommend taking Dan. He makes the long class lectures go back fast and keeps everyone entertained/laughing. He makes it easy to participate and cares about his students. I am honestly shocked he is not rated higher. He made me not dread going to class on Saturday.

Professor Eaton makes the 4-hour lectures bearable with his energetic personality and engaging discussions. Use Quizlet and unstuck study for test prep - it really helps with the challenging quizzes.

Professor Eaton provided an entertaining and informative class. Class participation really makes the class interesting. The readings and case studies were interesting, and the class format was easy to follow.

Professor Eaton makes the best out of a difficult class. He makes the four hour class fly by, and it isn't too difficult to earn your participation points during class. Use quizlet to study for the exams, they were challenging but they are the same for all BA 300 classes and not hard if you prepare well. He lets you know your final grade early.

Professor Eaton is a great professor, honestly the best I've had at state. His lectures are more of a conversation than him just yapping at the class, and they are very engaging. He's a practicing lawyer, so he has tons of real world examples that I learned a lot from. Im gen bus major, took this class a elective and don't regret it one bit!

His classes are interactive; interesting and class structure is easy to follow. I found him funny and entertaining. The quizzes are not hard he tells you what to study, the final is long but not hard if you review the material. Participation matters and very easy to get the points and they help final grade, get the points!

Took Prof. Eaton for BA 300 & MGT 464. He grades based on a few key assignments, so you have to stay sharp. He's fair and transparent. His unique personality keeps the class engaged. I enjoyed his teaching style clear, insightful, and focused on real-world thinking and discussion. Participation is important.

Participate even if you know you are wrong; it is a major part of your grade. Use Quizlet and the lecture videos to study for exams. Class is graded by three exams and participation points. My class had a curve, it is NOT guaranteed. It's not a terrible class, and he makes the long lectures fun. Participate and be respectful,l nd you'll be fine.

I have never written one of these before but made sure to do so for Professor Eaton. If graduating from Harvard wasn't enough to believe he would be a great instructor his jokes and kind heart made this class a breeze. If you're seeing this its your sign to take him, but ultimately it is in your hands.
