Class was pretty fun. He had some good stories to make his point more clear.

He's a cool guy, but his tests are freakin hard. He has a lot of All of the above, none of the above, and 2 of the above on his tests which makes them tricky. If you take him make sure its a small class not a huge lecture hall because you'll fall asleep.

His class definitely requires a lot of reading. Its not as easy as some others. His lectures are interesting and class goes by fast and he's got some potential extra credit.

Really enjoyed his class. To be successful in his class you have to attend all of the lectures and understand the book inside and out. Don't wait until the last week or day to do the project. Make sure that it is well written. Make sure that it's been editted.

If you're not an HRM major, don't take his class. There were just too much work to do in his class and the tests were too tricky. Can't believe Finance & Accounting came to be much easier than this craft! Recomended is you really like HRM which is a sorry major!

He definitely isn't boring. It is a tough class because of the amount of the material covered and his tests are challenging, but if you've studied well you won't have any trouble. If you like to be challenged and actually want to learn, he is a great instructor for you.

he explains things well, really teach us something. but the class is too boring...the project is too much work...exams are hard. take him, if you are good at studying by yourself

Very detailed, you must do the reading and go to class, content was very applicable. Get his feedback on your ideas for the project ahead of time.

Tests come from the book and assigned pages. There are questions that are very specific but nothing you can't find along the lines in the book which you are supossed to read anyway. The project was a BITC* but if you do them as he scheduled it on the syllabus you'll do fine, it just applies to us major procrastinators. He is quite interesting.

I actually received an "A" on the first two test. Grades aren't in yet, so I'm not sure about the final;he takes this class way too seriously. He over explains the simplest concepts. Don't take this class at night. He keeps you the ENTIRE time. He never lets class out early. The test are difficult, but you'll pass if you read the book.

Challenging teacher but OUTSTANDING class experience. Great story teller, but you MUST read the book to do well in class, the lecture is only about half the exams.

This guy is a really well-read and experienced professor who applies extensive book-smarts(from outside and inside the text)and real-world experience to form a challenging class. 1/2 the exams are from text, and 1/2 from lecture = required lecture. An incredibly personal and time-consuming self-analysis project intimidates and inundates, too. Hard.

I thought Dr. Abramis was very clear and explain terms in a way you could understand them. He a great teacher and he makes the class interesting.His test and projects are very hard.

He's really funny and cute too! The class is hard though, and the final project is annoying.

He's a really nice guy. He will take the time to answer all your question; however, his test are a bit hard. You need to read and know your stuff. The self analysis test that he talks about at the begining of class - get started as soon as possible. The project is harder than it seems.

Awesome professor. The class is not hard at all. Read the book and the exams are easy. The only bad thing about the class is the Self Assesment final project. Its so useless, everyone ive talked to about it just looks at it as busy work as i do. It doesnt help you "figure" yourself out. It helps you become a better BS'er. but i do reccomend

He is a great teacher. He makes class interesting and he is always ready to offer support if needed.

I personally liked his class. He is a great teacher. He makes class interesting and he is always ready to offer support if needed.

Professor is great at teaching material. loved his class because you dont have to read book word by word. Loved his lectures because really explained concepts & didnt read out of the book. Very interesting, very helpful & really nice. Tests are not THAT difficult, just go to class, pay attention, ask question. BE A GOOD STUDENT & u'll be fine!

Despite what others might think, I think he's a great professor and he puts a lot of effort to try and make the class topics interesting because he doesn't read from the book or from power point slides. Hard to get an A but just remember to attend class since his test are mainly from his lectures. No 42 pg project required! Put effort & easy B.

Cool Guy. Hard Test. Only Has 3 Test. Don't really have to come to class

Easy Class- Just read the chapter and go to class. He spells everything out for you. He talks a lot, but most of what he says is interesting. No 42 page paper due at the end of the class. Tests are hard, but mainly based on his lectures and what he thinks is important from the book. I recommend.

Very tough tests, no homework, just 3 tests; however, he is an incredibly interesting teacher. You actually want to go to class. End of the semester is a bit more kick back then the beginning with alot of interesting videos. Very cool teacher, genuinely interested in what students think.

Great teacher! Very interesting and funny!

He's a nice guy. He really is interested in instilling knowledge in you. His tests are difficult. Although they are multiple choice, there are more than one correct answers, and you have to pick the "most correct" one. Very important to go to class and also to read the book thoroughly!

Professor Abramis is a great teacher. He was a professional consultant for many years and really knows his stuff. One thing I liked was that he gave us opportunities to meet our classmates by having mini group assignments. These assignments were not difficult and were completed in class, but really made a difference in our interaction.

I loved this guy! He is clear about what he expects and a fair grader. I don't know why people keep complaining about a 42 pg paper since its 100% OPTIONAL. The tests are only hard if you don't go to class because he shows a lot of videos and some of the questions come from videos we watch. I would definitely recommend him.

He explains the material really well and makes the class interesting. But in order to do well in you must attend class and take really good notes. Just don't take in him in the night becuase he keeps you until the last minute of class.

He's a nice guy. Very clear and understandable in what he teaches. Very organized.He gives 3 tests, all multiple choice questions.His tests can be a bit tricky and are challenging to get an A.You must choose the "best" answer.You must read the text and attend the class to do well on his tests.The 42page self analysis paper is optional.I recommed.

Tough tests, you must be prepared or you will be doomed. Luckily, he gives 75-85% for a B so it's very doable. He also adjusts the tests scores. Must attend class since 30% of each exam contains questions from lecture or video. Just be fully prepared for exams, you only have 3 so not much room to screw up. He will push ur grade if borderline.

Very interesting teacher and lots of enthusiasm for a night prof. Gotta be in class to understand some of concepts that are covered. Especially attend the days that videos are show which covered on the test.

Very important to go to each class meeting... although class is very boring. Tests are difficult. No homework. Some group activities.. in class only.

He's interesting for a night professor in the fact that he doesn't make you fall asleep. You must go to class. His tests are hard because you must memorize everything not just the concepts but every term. It is very time consuming to try and memorize every term.

Must go to class. Very hard tests but he not only curves the tests he curves the grade. 85%A 75%B 60%C 50%D. I barely studied and got a 70% on every test. If you want to do well, go to class and study EVERY TERM. It's an umbrella factor. Don't just know def...how everything under concept. Tests are tricky.

Great professor, interesting and funny lecture for a nigth class. Test are hard and you have to study but the teacher is so passionate about the class that make you wanna study. One of the best professors on campus.Love it.

Abramis is a very dedicated teacher. He puts A LOT of work into his job and he expects a lot out of you. Attendance is required, as is reading the book. The final project isn't too tough. He gives a lot of feedback. One of the best professors I've ever had in terms of actually learning something. He's a weird guy, but you'll get used to him.

Professor Abramis, the epitamy of a great teacher. He does expect alot from his student, but work alot harder than any of professor at CSULB. He is very knowledgable in the subject and is willing to explain anything that is unclear. Take this professor if you want to get something out of this class. If you want to do the bare minimum,dont take him

Must go to class. I noticed I did the best when I first studied the notes from lectures and then went to the book. Most of the test seemed to be from lectures. Took lots of time but he will give you some good insights.

Have to go to class 50% of test comes from random videos and lectures. He never let's u out early and loves to hear his own voice. He curves so its not terrible but not an easy class, it takes work to pass

I really enjoyed this class. Abramis is funny and some of the stuff is actually interesting. Go to class and skim over the book and you can easily get a B.

Dr. Abramis is one of the best professors that I have taken at CSULB. He truly cares about his students and wants them to get as much out of the class as possible. If you're not planning to work hard, don't take him! He's a lot of work and reading, but it's worth it in the end. I would highly recommend him!

Great prof! He expects a lot but I appreciated that.

Took both of his seminars over the last year. Great person, passionate about the material, wealth of knowledge. Don't take this class if you don't like to read or speak in public. Class requires active participation and application of readings to real-world work experience. Great class for MBA students, great teacher & person. Take the class!

I don't know why people don't like Abramis. This class ACTUALLY made me feel like I was at a university. He doesn't just hand you the answers and makes you think. Don't take this class if your lazy and don't like going to class. Whole grade is based on the 3 exams that he does somewhat curve. And 90% of questions are from lecture, so go to class.

If you want to learn...take DR. Abramis. Gives 3 exams, no hw. Must attend lecture and read book. The negative comments are simply from students who want to get by with an easy grade. His class will benefit YOU in the business world. WE SHOULD HAVE MORE PROFESSORS like Dr. Abramis, his class was worth every penny!

Don't listen to all this negativity.He is an awesome teacher, he knows what he is talking about.He is very nice and very clear on everything. I think the class is fun and interesting.Sometimes he makes you participate but it is not a big deal at all. There are only 3 midterms that are really not that hard and sometimes group work for extra credit!

Abramis is very easygoing. His class requires a lot of reading and participation. 60% test content on lecture, 40% reading. The stuff he teaches is easily applied to real life. If learning isn't your goal, take someone else.

ok, so it's not a mick class, but it's not rocket science either. And you don't have to be an HRM major to appreciate this class. Very useful, applicable principles taught. Easy going professor with sense of humor and relatable case studies and anecdotes. If you want to skate, take something else. At least it's not boring.

He is really a professional professor. I salute/hats off to him for his positivity, love, and interest factor towards his teaching profession.

Abramis is a great professor. He's very knowledgeable about his field. He is very clear about the structure of his course and what you need to do for an A. Having said that, simply reading the text got me an A. Although the lectures were interesting and clarifying, I have a hard time sitting through any 3 hour class so I wasn't always there.

Must do the required reading to do well in this class.

BOOK IS Req. FOR GOOD GRADE. test is based on readings and lect. lect is interesting but can be dry. tests can be hard so read book. no hw. EC options. many students dont care for him because he is kind of odd but i like him he is fair and interesting to talk with but like many prof. he can be a smart ass. do what he asks of you and get an easy B

GREAT professor. Best I have had yet. Every negative comment about him is from a loser who does not want to study or learn and just cruise.Its a University, not high school. Funny, Intelligent, Helpful, and passionate, and Respects everyone. 3 test and a big curve that students dont need if they listened and did their work. 5 Stars

Well, he is a very cool, respectful and helpful professor. The curve is 5% below the norm for an A or B. His exams are hard and the lecture does a so-so job preparing you for some of the ambiguous exam questions. A study-guide and more clarity would be nice. Exams cover a large volume of info with #3 being the hardest.

Must buy book. Good teacher because he actually speaks clear english unlike other teachers. He talks about the actual subject too! An A grade is 85%. 3 tests are not easy but not hard. You have to go to lecture to take notes for the test. Overall good teacher. I'm happy I invested my money with him! Thank you Professor!

A Great professor! He is very clear and makes difficult concepts easy to understand. Don't miss class!! His test questions come from his lectures. Take good notes! He's a fantastic professor! Highly recommend! He is also very helpful and answers all your questions. Read Chapters before class- he expects you to know the concepts! 85% is an A.

Read the book and take good notes. Tests can be challenging but he gives a good curve. Ended up with an A. I enjoyed his class because his lectures were clear.

Exams were pretty difficult. Make sure and attend the lectures because most of the exam is on his lecture notes. I received an A in the class but definately had to study.

A lot of reading and work, but a great great class!!!! You learn a lot about yourself and leadership in general. Enjoyed this class very much.

OMG HES AMAZING! He is funny and really clear on every topic always asks if everyone understands...you cannot text in this class he will kick you out...but I learned so much and 85 and up is an A! he also gives extra credit opportunities take him!

Professor Abramis is an excellent lecturer, but for the tests, you need to know your stuff - read the books and try using the study guide provided by the publisher. 85% is an A so if you actually read and understand the material, an A is so attainable it's almost unfair lol

An extremely interesting, yet somewhat tedious, introduction to the HRM profession. It is basically psych applied to the Bus. profession. An A is attainable if a) Lectures are memorized b) book is read at least 3x per chapter c)perfect attendance and perfect notes. A recording won't hurt at all. He loves the subject, could ramble at times though!

Good professor. Interested in making sure students understand topics. Likes when class participates. Need book. Only 2 midterms and final (MC). Take good notes. Relevant and interesting course.

Overall the class is an easy B if you study. But he can go on and on about the topic which gets extremely boring and you can not text in his class. Do not take him as a night class. Took him Mondays from 7-9:45 and kept us till 9:45 about 95% of the time.

Really cool guy, he really knows what he is talking about. Will sometimes do small, very easy (15 minute) group projects in class. 3 Tests total, including the final, you should get an easy B if you just pay attention and take notes, but to get an A you need to read the book. He does tend to go a little long each class, otherwise good teacher.

This class is easy enough if you take really good notes and read the book!! He likes student participation and will sometimes randomly call on students so if you do not like that, don't take this professor. I got an A in this class, but it requires that you go to class since some test questions are specifically from lecture, as well as read!!

The easiness of this class is based on how you feel about taking tests (for me it was easy but I understand the negative reviews). He seems nice and speaks clearly, but he sometimes goes off on a tangent during lectures. Tests cover the book material but tend to focus on the topics that he goes over in class. Not interested in HR, class was okay.

I loved him! everyone else is right the tests are hard, and there is only 3 with no other assignments. I thought having this as a night class would be unmotivating, but the subject is interesting and he is so knowledgable. Attendence is pretty much necessary though to obtain even a b, but an 85% is a B. get the book.

Read the book, take good notes on each chapter, go to every class session, take good class notes, and take the group activities seriously because he gives extra credit to the group with the best answers.Tests are challenging but fair. If you fail this class, you need to reevaluate how you study. He comes off as arrogant, but he teaches effectively.

Probably one of the most interesting professors I've ever had and he knows what he's talking about! But his tests can be tricky so you reeally have to make sure to go to class and take good notes. Overall, despite how difficult the tests were, I would say his interesting lectures definitely made up for it. :)

Dr. Abramis made this class very interesting. He tries his best to explain every topic to the fullest extent so you not only remember, but fully comprehend the content. Lectures are key to doing well in this class but the book is necessary if you want an A. The entire class is graded on only exams.

Dr. Abramis is not easy but if you show up to class, read the textbook and online readings and are lucky enough to have someone reliable record lectures (Which Abramis sets up the first day) you should do alright. Didn't read any of the book and got a B. You need to put in effort for the A but I would suggest you take him.

His exams are very difficult as he tells you ahead of time; however if you attend lecture and keep up with book chapters you'll be fine. Do not let his hard tests intimidate you; you just have to be prepared. Attendance is mandatory since he mentions things in the lectures that are not always in the book.

Hard exams but I've learned a lot from his class than any other classes. Best professor ever at CSULB. Would recommend taking him if grade is not the only thing you care about.

Lectures are super interesting and engaging but if you don't read the textbook, you'll be behind. The class is graded on 3 exams (and some extra credit if you can earn it in team exercises). Everything he says, that's in the book, or video he shows you is fair game for the exam. Available for office hours and his advice is very helpful.

Professor Abramis has an interesting viewpoint on a lot of different material he covers. His class is graded solely on his exams, which are difficult. He does curve the exams and while attendance is not mandatory will include random things from his lectures in the exams. Many of the class discussions were repetitive, but I do respect the professor.

Abramis can be a bit blunt on his various viewpoints on certain subjects, some revealed in his intro autobiography. His class can be lecture-heavy with tests being majority of your grade. Sometimes goes off-tangent. Recommend reading all supplementary material and reading all assigned chapters. Occasionally, want students to participate.

You must attend every lecture and take good notes. Grading scale is only 3 exams. I took good notes and read only some of the book and was able to pass with an A. Exams are based on mainly lecture and BB readings. He isn't everyone's cup of tea but I enjoyed his class. Wasn't as hard as everyone made it seem. Generous grading scale

I genuinely enjoyed this class and professor! Many students took him as being rude and difficult but I honestly found him to be very charismatic and supportive. He is willing to meet outside of class if you need help and offers a lot of extra materials to help understand topics. Read the book before lectures and you will do great!

Anyone can pass this class if you study and read the book.
