I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A HIGHER GRADE he just pulled a C out of his ass

His lectures are boring!!! He's pretty easy, though.

Not tough at all. Sounds boring and doesn't interact with students, but class is simple and easy to understand. He tells you what to study for in the exams and the test questions are from the textbook cd. Study the cd/look pretty in presen., get an A!

Easy.. Adds everyone in class. The only thing to worry about is doing 2 15min presentation. But you get to work with groups

Gillis is great. You'll pass his class. He tests you on the CD from your book. It's very easy too cheat, since he has a hard time walking. Sit in the back and have your notes out. I don't really think he cares if you cheat, saw several people do it.

Gilliss is great because he will tell you what he wants from you. The tests are not that bad, the papers and presentations are pretty easy too. Its just nice because he will tell you what he wants in your papers and what to study for the test. Nice guy

His lecture is boring. But it is easy to get a good grade. 3 presentations, 1 mid-term and final exam are all essay questions

He is a good professor and he likes what he does.

He's very understanding, helpful, flexible, and cares about his students. He's also very knowledgeable. You will definitely learn something from his class.

Professor Gillis is awesome. He's very smart,& has a passion for teaching. He is extremely helpful,& puts great effort into making sure his class sessions aren't boring. You can tell he hasn't lost his passion for teaching. :O) If you do your work & do well on the exams u can pass w/a good grade!

Very friendly, easy, and somewhat quirky. The only problem is that he gives about 5 different versions of the exams so everyone is tested differently, a bit unfair since some exams are easier than others. It also takes him half an hour to set up the powerpoint slides. also ask him about airplanes.

Very nice guy.class comes with 1 midterm,1 final,3 oral presentations.Only take this class if your good at memorization, cause thats what miterm and final are based on. he tells you what to study and ur only responsible 4ten.final exam was more detailed compare to midterm. text4sale:9th ed oohoy@hot

Easy class/ Just take good notes the day of review for final and midterm. 2group projects and he is a fair grader. Class boring, but he explains very good. He is kind of funny.

easy class!! fair grader.

If you want an easy A to boost up your GPA, TAKE THIS CLASS. I'm graduation in May and this is the easiest teacher ever. The class is cake!!! He gives you exactly what is on the test before the midterms. If you fail, you are a stupid loser.

A Piece of Cake!!! You should know or will know what I mean, je je. Really easy class, easy to learn the material because he explains concepts in a very relaxed manner. He is funny. Must take professor... Do the work, and take good notes before the exams and memorize answers from the ppt slides.

Great Professor...Clear and Concise. Does not overwhelms you with lots of homework.

Class is pretty straight forward. 1 test, 1 final, 3 papers and presentations (1 on your own, the rest with a group). Lectures will put you to sleep. However, study guide will tell you exactly what is on the test. Didn't buy the book, never read, studied from the slides, got an A.

He is an easiest teacher for Bus 189. Dont buy the textbook, just study from the PPT slides for the tests then you should do ok. I got an A in this class without buying a textbook.

Class is easy. 3 papers and presentation & 2 exams. He tells you exactly what to study for so only focus on those things, but you have to really memorize them. 10 questions on exam but has multiple parts. Lectures are very boring cause he goes over the exact power point slides. Don't read until he tells you what to study for.

This guy is boooring! all he does is reads the powerpoint and u dont even have to come to class because the notes are all online.. the class is easy compared to other classes... but this class is hella fraken boring!

occasionally funny, obsession with airplanes/airforce. class and information is exciting yet lectures can put you to sleep. this is not his fault tho because the book seems quite repetitive

For DISCOVERING BUSINESS, all you REALLY do is listen to him read powerpoint slides on each chapter that he downloads from the publishers. PLEASE REMEMBER THIS>>>MAKE SURE YOU PICK GOOD PARTNERS FOR THE PROJECTS!!! Otherwise you will regret it!!! & When he's telling you what to study for for finals, make sure you memorize the actual laws and acts.

BORING prof. Reads off powerpoints in class. Get a good group and only study after his review then you will be fine. Don't read the book. Pretty easy overall, but if you want to learn anything don't take Gilliss.

Do your assignments. Study for the tests. you'll do fine. He's a very good teacher. He sometimes makes the class worth coming to. Very funny guy. I idolize the guy due to his success and knowledge in business.

Boring. Three long hours every Friday morning. Had trouble keeping alert between naps. Professor was really nice and approachable. Very easy-going guy. Exams were a little concerning, but nothing too serious. Very little homework. Can cut class, just don't fall too far behind.

It's like simple stuff, so simple it gets boring and then you don't study/read. The classes were boring. It's just slides, so...if you like, going to class is OPTIONAL, yet, he takes attendance....

pretty cool guy. cracks jokes. grades easy on papers and presentations. he just goes over the powerpoint every day, which are available on his website. a lot of information on the powerpoint, yet just a few questions on the midterm and final...so...better know your information.

Guys is very anti fry's electronic. Gets funny at time although his jokes repeat. There are only about like 4 assignments/project total in his class. His exams are extremely easy. Just be there for review day and you practically'll get an A on the tests. Books never really needed besides the case project. Recommended.

Good teacher, very straight-forward. His tests are just 10 questions, most requiring 3-4 sentences to answer and 1-2 requiring a list of things. Study exactly what he tells you to, don't study anything he doesn't tell you to, he wont trick you. What he says he will ask, he will ask. For papers, check spelling and grammar very carefully.

this guy is BORING.

Pretty good professor.

Very boring, but very EASY. CEO paper & presentation, and other case studies. Takes points off if you read off your paper. Answers for tests (10 questions) are right off the slides. During review, listen to which topics are on the test and memorize just the info for those topics.

3 papers and 2 presentations. Study everything he tells you. The exam is a lot of memorization and missing one question can easily cost you your "A". Doesn't give +/-. Getting an "A" seems rather impossible.

Very easy class. Lectures very boring; has a monotone voice. Lecture content interesting since based on experience. 2 Group Projects each w/ presentation. Exams are very easy. 10 question tests; study EXACTLY and ONLY what he goes over during review and you will get a good grade. Anal on grammar and spelling on the 2 papers. Lenient on exam grading

Very easy. He'll tell you what's going to be on the final as the review. Just study what he tells you and he'll pick ten of those items to be on the midterm and/or final. Bring a laptop with you to keep yourself awake. I BSed two papers and easily earned Bs for them. If you like Family Guy, he sounds just like Joe.

Don't waste your $115-$140 for a textbook. Everything he goes over are on slides which can be found on his website that he gives you on the syllabus. I'm glad I wasn't one of those who bought a textbook.

Lectures are generally very boring and he gets side tracked often. The exams are not too difficult, but he takes attendance so you should show up to get a good grade. 2 Group projects accompanied by oral presentations. Nice guy, easy to approach.

Professor Gilliss's class was probably the best class I have ever had. He is a genious. I graduated from SJSU in '05 and I still find myself talking about his class till this day. You might not learn much about business in his class; however, you will learn plenty of life lessons. "Were talking about bank accounts that start with the letter B."

He is a really cool teacher. He uses his powerpoint slides a lot which is really useful because they are easy to study off of. Not too many assignments but you do have a few group projects.

I feel bad for the people that think his exams were hard because they must have zero intelligence. The guy told us EXACTLY what the test questions were on review days, and people still struggled? There are 10 questions on the exam. Some questions required a three word response for full credit! "It is so easy, it's unbelievable."

this teacher was very easy.disregaurd those who say other wise. i barely went to class and i still got an A make sure you go on the two review days one for midterm and one for the final. you will have a personal essay and two group projects.make sure you pick your groups right because you're stuck with them the whole year. make sure you study mejpl

To the 6/1/09 comment: you fault the guy for not getting out of his chair when he just had knee surgery and is on crutches? Wow. ◙ Gilliss has good philosophy on how to run a business, listen and you might learn a thing or two. Also, mention that you enjoy eating at the elephant bar for extra points.

With the motto "I'd rather be flying", aviation enthusiast Gilliss navigates his class through PowerPoints, but sometimes gets off-course with his Costco shopping experience insights. The airframe of Gilliss' lecturing enthusiasm exhibits fatigue. Stares at the wall or sleeps in the chair during office hour. Enjoy your flight! <B6>

awesome professor. Knows what he's teaching backwards and forwards. Makes you really understand with real world examples relating to topic at hand. I took Professor Gilliss 3 times FOR DIFFERENT courses at SJSU I think I learned more in his classes than I did throughout my career at san jose state. I recommend taking as many of his classes asap.

This class was pretty chill. His assignments are not difficult. Pick good teammates for the two group projects and show up for class and answer a few of his questions and you will pass. He likes to talk about Airplanes and Costco.

Professor Gillis can be very boring as he reads his slides each class but was well worth taking the class from him. He will let you know exactly what to study for his exams and only study what he says. The two projects were fun, but I had a good group. Although you may not think it's important to show up for class, do it, it's worth it.

Had him for both business 140 and 10. One of the easiest teachers. He even says you can probably pass the class without using the book. Got an A in both of them.

He has zeal and genuine compassion to better not only his students but anyone around him which is unmatched. Any project, task, advice, or lecture is 100% retained and every student departs his presence motivated and more knowledgeable. It was/is more than an honor to have him as a professor, coach, and approachable subject matter expert.

Positive: Funny guy. Does not grade too hard. Negative: Does not teach very well, everything is from slides.

highly charismatic teacher, well liked. grades fair, tests are memorized and he gives you a study guide what's exactly on the midterm. easy A.

He is very nice and easy going on assignments. Have him check your essay before you turn it in to raise your grade about 5%. Don't need the text book, but make sure you download all the power points. 3 big assignments through out the semester.

Yeah, uhhh that was a good deal you know... This guy is too funny. If you want to learn about the best deals in life take the class. If you want to learn about how fun flying an airplane is take the class. If you want to learn about business 10. Take the class but expect to be bored going through powerpoints. He is funny though.

Funny guy with lots of stories, sometimes gets off topic. Tells you exactly what's on the tests. A few papers & group projects. Would take more classes taught by him if available.

He's a really easy going teacher. Boring lectures because all he does is go over powerpoints in class but he takes role so if you want participation points, you have to go. Two group projects, midterm, final. He gives you everything you need to know for the test. GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS B4 TURNING IN PAPERS. It can raise your grade ALOT.

Gilliss is hilarious. Maybe it was just the class I was in, but he made his class fun with all his stories. It's so easy to get him off topic too. Basically, if you go to class and he knows who you are, you will pass. And he tells you exactly what will be on the midterm and final the class before.

He is a fairly permissive teacher. No homework except for two group projects, a midterm, and final. He tells you EVERYTHING that will be on the midterm/ final. Attendance is mandatory but afterwards, you can slumber into oblivion because all he does is go over PowerPoints which can be easily accessed at home. Overall, easy teacher and easy A.

A lot of people bash this guy for reading off of powerpoints all the time. It's not a problem. The class, Bus10, is just stupid in general. His method of teaching works fine. Overall, easy class and a very funny teacher with dry humor.

Professor Gilliss is an easy going guy. In class you take notes off powerpoints which he makes available online. There are three assinments: three papers, two of which are group projects. Has a midterm and final that are each ten questions. He gives answers to tests in class so I recommend good attendence. Infomational class, I enjoyed it!

He is very easy. He uses power points in all of his classes and gives you the questions for the midterm and final. He is great for visual learners.

He is a very relaxed professor and tell you what you need to know and study. I would recommend him to anyone interested in Business.

Very knowledgeable prof and knows a lot of cool things.lecture can be long and boring but the midterms and final are easy.Attendance is required which sucked but overall I had no problems with the professor as he was very laid back. Very easy to get a B. A is attainable but you have to be near perfect .

He's not the best professor and not easy. All his tests are MC and he gets it from the Author, so he doesnt create the questions. He loves to talk about himself and planes, so class is almost pointless and boring. READ THE BOOK!! Thats the only way you can get an A... If you dont like reading books then go find yourself another professor...

The subject matter can be a bit boring, but the midterms and final are pretty easy if you read and study the textbook and power point. Attendance is required, participation helps your grade. The professor is laid back and has a funny, dry sense of humor. Two group presentations. It is easy to get a B if you read the textbook. A is attainable.

honestly this guy is amazing yeah he likes talking about planes( now that you know that make that something that you can talk to him about) his test are cold cut out of the book nothing more or less. I cannot see anyone failing if they just show up to class. I missed like 4 days and he was cool about it. funny guy and will write a letter of rec.

Just read the book and the slides before the exams and attend the review session and you'll be alright. There are 2 group projects. Make sure you proof read it before submitting and use the format he wants. Use proper pronouns. for company, use IT not THEY Multiple choice exams. participation is based on attendance.

Attend the class, do the group projects, read the book and the slides and you should get an A. The first 2 midterms were hard. The third was OK. Finals was easy . He gives study guides before exam make sure you don't miss that class day.I averaged B- on the three midterms, B+ on projects, perfect attendanceand I guess did good on finals.I got an A
