Dr. Kerr is the man. If you are truly interested in business you can learn a lot from him in his lectures and not be completely bored. Study for the tests and follow the template exactly when writing the papers.

Exams consist of lecture & textbook material. 50% multiple choice & 50% True and False. There is a semester project that looks intimidating but isn't that bad. His expectations are very clear. Lectures are not posted, so you need to go to class. Actually teaches and provides quick feedback. Highly recommend this guy!

Daryl L. Kerr is probably the greatest professor to step foot onto this campus. Yes his lectures are kinda boring, but he will prepare you like no other. If you are complaining about the harsh writing grades you didn't put any effort into trying to get a good grade. The assignments are clear and straightforward. Follow the rubric and you'll be fine

You can tell that he cares about his Intro students. He is very specific when lecturing and typically keeps his lectures interesting, especially if you actually care about business. He doesn't like laptops in class and will call you out if you are being disrespectful, so don't. His grading on papers is extremely difficult, so beware of that.

What I mean is you can turn in the three major papers a week early and he will edit them exactly how he wants them. Prepare your papers well and you will pass the class. He is a really good professor. Easy A

I have nothing negative to say about the professor. His tests are easy if you attend class and study the notes. However, the papers are hard. Just because he takes off points if it not in the exact format that he wants. Make sure to ask questions before submitting your paper. But overall if you study and try on the papers you should do well.

Great professor, had 3 papers to do, all 3 were double spaced and he gave them at the beginning of the year, do them early and turn them into him and he will correct them to the way he wants and then fix your "errors" for an easy 100. 3 major tests not cumulative (1 being the final). Honestly if you can't make an A or B in this class switch majors.

Papers can be turned in early for feedback and a grade of 110. Classes are all lectures but he usually finds a way to make them interesting. Do your work early and study, you will get an A.

You get graded heavily for three essays but if you turn them a week or so early you get a 100 so if you procrastinate you basically wont get a A. Test are common sense. You should get at least a 85.
