Hamilton is the MANN!! This class is super easy. Just read the book, attend the lectures, which btw are pretty interesting and u'll be good. It was my first business class and it was cake. If your ready to put in a lit bit of effort this class would be an easy A
Took prof. for MBA/newark "Managing Growing Ventures". Excellent teacher and class. He is a PhD student but has tremendous real world business experience. The class is very practical and you get a ton of useful feedback on your business plan assignments. HIGHLY recommended. Would take any class of his!!!
Took his management growing venture class. He is clear and articulate. He also grades well. Most lectures were based on slides and he never used textbook. Overall, great class.
Everything on his multiple choice tests is right out of the book. If you attend class and know the definitions in the book you will do great in the class, it's very straight forward.
He is a great speaker but his lectures are nothing like the exams. Questions are from book but they are not as straight forward as a person below me makes them out to be. Questions are very specfic and knowing only definitions is not enough. There are only 2 exams and both cover 7 chapters. Getting a good grade is more about being lucky than smart.
Great professor. Kept class very interesting (has lots of real world experience). Lots of work (not hard work, but just tons of it). 1 Midterm, 1 Final, 1 Ind Case Study (6-10 pages), 1 Group Case Presentation...all for 2 credit class (again, not hard, just takes time). Good class overall, though. Highly recommended.
Great professor with a good teaching style, case studies almost every week. Class is not boring to attend, no laptops, and participation is necessary. I learned the material, and felt he was fair. Highly recommended.
Take this man if you are interested in learning about strategy. He is absolutely crystal clear in his lectures, has a great sense of humor, keeps the focus of students. Attendance is mandatory, have to get an A in at least one exam and an assignment to get an A for the class, but very doable. Highly recommended!!
Great class, definitely would recommend taking business policy with hamilton, especially if you are a taking this second semester senior year. He gives you the final 2-3 weeks before the end of the semester which is awesome, and then the rest of the semester is working on a group project during class time.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. Take it only if you want to fail the class.
Toughest professor ever for International Business. He treats like his slave. You can't go to the bathroom. If you are late few mins he will insult you in front of the whole class. His exams are made to FAIL. I highly recommend DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR.
He just goes over the slides, i might as well just read them at home. His tests are made difficult and questions dont even come from the slides. If you take this professor than be prepared to get a C or fail.
I took Prof. Hamilton for International Business. He is a great professor that really cares about his students. If you study all the definitions and really learn them the exams should be a breeze. Attendance is mandatory and if you cheap from the test banks you will get caught in his class. Which is a great! I def. recommend taking him over others!
Okay so check this, this class isnt easy, Ill tell you what you need to study , You memorize ALL of the definitions in the CH, and then use his slides as a guide to go through the CH because the slides are just condensed version of the CH. He uses test banks soo you know the exam is gonna come from the book nothing he says ! USE THE BOOK AND GET A
My favorite professor thus far! Very interesting and value adding course, with a great professor to complement it. I learned a lot from this course and highly recommend taking Hamilton for Business Policy and Strategy. Read the book, attend class, and you will become a differentiator in the workplace through what you have learned in this course.
Must go to every class. Participation (aka attendance) 20%, 2 exams (50 MC, 2 one-page essays) 20% each, individual case 20%, same case done as group presentation 20%. Both exams are out of the way a month before finals. Study his slides & book definitions and you'll do well (each exam is just 6 chapters).
Very monotone speaker makes it feel like class goes on for days. The material and class are very easy, just be prepared for a boring, uninterested, and unhelpful professor.
Crystal clear teacher, but stickler about cell phones & laptops. Had TA's monitoring and took points off, super annoying & distracting. Used a clicker for quizzes/attendance, never did the readings, just studied the slides and knew most of the questions on the exams. He spent more time on making rules than needed.
Kinda monotone. shows videos here and there; slide get uploaded. clicker: attendance, quizzes, midterm & final. Tb: quiz questions come from the little articles sometimes. strict on rules, kicks students out of class for breaking them
Heil Hamilton! Zis class was vunderful! Made me feel like I was back in the motherland in 1939. Only the weak will be discarded from lecture and their grade will be sent for processing. In all honesty, boring & unhelpful. If you read the slides you'll get a B+, an A is tough though(92+). Need to go to class. The tb is not worth it. Low quality prof
He is a rule enforcer and will stop lectures to single students out if they are on their cellphones or laptops. Not the easiest nor was it the hardest class. Exams require studying beyond just the powerpoints to do well. Knowledgeable professor.
Easy and interesting subject. Exams are easy fully from textbook, although slides helps here and there but mostly book. Monotone and very dry professor. Attendance is necessary because of the clicker. Overall not bad.
He's a very dry sounding professor, but he means well. He is actually interested in the subject he teaches. If he could keep the classroom more lively, it would definitely be a great class. The exams aren't incredibly difficult if you just read the slides before class and attend lecture (it's necessary to anyways).
Got an 85 as my final grade... Missed a B+ by 2 points, according to his grading scale....
Hamilton is really monotonous and boring and his lectures are so dry. The exams are straight out the book and aren't really too difficult but you need a 92 to get an A in the class. Its a lot of reading but achievable A, its the lectures that really suck.
thinks his class is THE most important taught at Rutgers. His tests come directly from the ppts and u quickly realize u don't need the book. He rants about his life & his experience and wastes sooo much time trying to setup clickers. obnoxious attendance policy & to make it worse 92 is an A. He's annoying but do what he says and u'll be fine easy A
Dry lecturer but smart. Midterm/final 50 questions m.c. using the clicker-can come from anything in the book, not just the slides, and many terms are similar. Guess and hope for the best. Weekly reading and 3-5 question quizzes (get half right, get full points). Attendance counts (max 2 absences). Got an A (92 cutoff)–annoying class but survivable.
Like others say, he's a dry professor, but he explains things well. He really is a nice guy that cares about students. Exams are easy and done on the clicker. Only downside to this class is that it's a 400 person lecture so exams take forever to get started. Also, if you get stuck in the back of lecture hall, you can barely see.
Only two exams. Have to get a 92 for an A. VERY DRY and sounds pretentious every now and then. Does shell out good information but most of it is really common sense. Most of the TA's are nice except theres at least one stickler in every class.
Really nice guy, has a ton of real world experience. Teaches a lot of really useful concepts (strategic management especially) Highly recommend.
Easy A unless he changes his tests. write your notes as follows: every bold and italicized word. Know all acronyms, tables and charts. Practices quizzes are helpful being that they are from the same test bank as the exams. Pay attention to the lecture and you'll get 95% of clicker ?? correct. P.S. don't give your clicker to a friend.
This guy is a good guy. He will be awesome to u just as long as u give him respect. If u need help in anything and ask to speak with him, he will devote time for you. And he obviously knows what hes talking about. If u look as his career history, hes been pretty successful. Its an easy class. Just pay attention, read the slides, and read the book!
He is a know it all. He gives so much reading and he doesn't clearly explain everything, he just expects you to know it all.
All he does is read off of his slide, the content is very ambiguous and he does a poor job relating it to the real world. The Pizza business that he asks us to make barely is relatable to the methods that he is teaching us and trying to get us to understand.
Very full of himself. More interested in making sure that you know who is boss than he is in making class enjoyable. Did not like this course at all, but it is an easy A.
Not sure why there are so many negative comments. This professor is a really smart guy with a lot of career experience. Sure, he is a bit dry, but his lectures are well presented given the dry nature of the material. Two exams= 80% and then participation/ clicker quizzes (extremely easy). Exams are based right out of the book as well.
Book is NOT needed for the class. Class is very monotonous, as Dham just reads off the slide, but attendance is clicker mandatory. Most of the information sounds similar, but is common sense. Not a hard class, but a 92 is an A.
The class itself is boring and common sense. The professor does his best to engage students during lectures and make information interesting. Pretty easy overall if you attend and pay attention. I got a 91 and needed a 92 for an A which is annoying. However, I understand not rounding up. There will always be several people right below the mark.
Got a 90 overall in the class which was a B+. I'm not upset or anything, but like i cried
Professor Hamilton is great. he plays DJ selected music before class! Yes, a 92 is an A, but the material is very straightforward. 2 exams for 80%, 10% clicker quizzes (more than 10 quizzes), 10% attendance. He is helpful if you approach him (helped me land an internship.) Funny dry humour. If you aren't lazy and want to learn, take Prof. Hamilton.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS, he is so arrogant and beyond rude, an 82 is a B and a 92 is an A and he refuses to round up even if its only by a point, the tests are much harder than they need to be and he phrases questions in a way that is meant to trick you. Do not take
I would've enjoyed this class so much more if his grading scale wasn't so ridiculous. The grade I got at the end of the semester did NOT match up with the amount of work, time, stress, tears, and sweat I poured into this class. The material itself is interesting and prof is good, but just WAY too strict. I was 1% away and he refused to round me up.
I hated every second of this class. I wanted to cry, change my major and leave the country. The book is boring, expensive and useless. He reads of the slides and has the most ridiculous grading system ever. A starts from 92% and if you miss just 1%, he will not help you out. He teaches management but he does not seem to know how to manage at all.
Great class! He can be a bit dry at times, but he really knows what he's talking about and has plenty of relevant stories from his own work experience. His assignments are short and fun, usually take 30 mins to complete which isn't bad at all. Highly recommend you take him, and if you can do it over the summer like I did, it's even better.
The guy knows management. It's a dry, boring class, but Prof Hamilton is a really smart guy with a lot of experience. You will learn in this class. Also, the exams are not very difficult, the whole class is common sense
He is a very dry professor and lectures are boring. However, the class is manageable. From personal experience: textbook is NOT needed; he will kick you out of class and exams if you don't play by his rules; I asked him a couple questions throughout the semester and his only answers were "Ask the TA." Overall, I liked the course, not him.
Material is common sense and exams are not that bad if you study a little but the lectures are painful to sit through and he is very strict and calls people out a lot during class. Don't bring your phone anywhere near the classroom or you'll fail the class and definitely don't approach for help.. an A is also a 92
Don't take class unless u have2. Prof simply read off the slides, but expects full participationattendance in order to pass. If you ask for help, he just tells you to ask the TA. Ask the TA for help... but hardly any help. Simply tells you to read slides. Don't even hold your cellphone or he'll embarrass you and kick you out in front of everyone.
10 points attendance, 10 points quizzes, 40 and 40 midterm and final. Missed 1 class, was late to 4 classes by no more than a minute or so. But of course, clicker attendance at the beginning, so you have to be on time. 810 attendance, 1010 quizzes, 85100 midterm, 98100 final. 91 in the class B+. Yeah not cool. Dry material and he's dry.
Sorta easy exams. Always down to two answers which I didn't like but its only two exams so just start studying 2-3 days in advance before you go to sleep and you should be good. He knows his stuff and is very experienced in the business world.
Enjoyed the way he taught BPol, used real world examples, case discussions were interesting, monotone but a good sense of humor. Need 92% to get A-crazy. Two tests: MC (50?s) and essay (2), focus on ppts, both tests completed early in semester. Gives detailed templates for individual and group case analysis, extremely difficult to get perfect score
I got straight A's when it came to my engineering classes, but I got a 91 in this class which is a B+ and 92 is an A. I studied harder in this class than any other. If business is not your major, don't take this. What a waste.
Go to class!! You have to study for tests, there is a lot to know, but very easy and understandable. Lectures arent bad, TAs are helpful. You have to put work in for tests but an A is very possible.
Hamilton's class is 2 exams: a midterm and a final. He has 10 points of clicker points which is easily attainable and 10 attendance points. HE IS SO BORING. about halfway through the semester, he starts to kick people out if he or his TAs catch you on your phone (even tho its a 450 person lecture). study the slides word for word & you'll be fine
His class is extremely boring and mandatory to attend which i find useless. He only has 2 exams but both of which are not easy. He knows what he's talking about but i would never take another class with him.
Incredibly boring class, dry professor matched with dry content does not make for a fun experience, but pretty hard to get anything lower than a B. 92 for an A though which sucks, but he's the only professor and he does a decent job of engaging a 450 person lecture.
Honestly, the most boring professor I have ever had. So monotone that it is annoying, but he is very straightforward. If you put in the work you will get an A, even if it is a 92. His tests are VERY general, not very detailed, but they cover a lot of content. His tests are basically off his power point slides, know those well and you'll be fine!
Professor Hamilton is very clear and straightforward. The lectures are boring, but he does his best to keep 400+ students engaged. If a 90 was an A, he'd probably be higher rated on here, but the grading scale is from the department. Also, you cant use laptops or cell phones in class. Exams are straightforward.
Strightforward class. Showup for participation points and some easy clicker quizzes at the end of class. Tests are staightforward and from the powerpoint, but u have to know the material well. 92 is an A. 40% each for midterm and final. Can pass without textbook, stopped looking at it after midterm. Got a B+ because I didnt do well on the midterm
I took this class during the summer session. The material seemed easy, but the exams were tough. You DO need the book, as many of us had studied from only the ppts and it was not enough. The highest grade on the final was an 84, the lowest was a 60... I suggest taking it during the school year.
Be prepared to learn a lot from someone who has been very successful in his career before going in to teaching, not many professors can match the quality of his class. I highly recommend him, however keep in mind that he is not a nice guy so don't annoy him ( don't have your phone out, no late work, be polite) He'll help you out if you ask nicely
this class is about reading and the project... you need to understand the concepts to do well the project... You can't miss class, or have cellphones out (he is very picky about that) , don't try to be "smart" with the clickers bc he would find out.
The hybrid class is awesome. All lectures/powerpoints are online. Class is only to work on a group project. Grade is out of 100 points, 35 from midterm, 35 from final, 10 attendance, 10 in class clicker, 10 group project. Hamilton is totally full of himself. Exams are a little tricky, study power points thoroughly. Do not waste money on textbook!!!
Don't even bother with the book, but you must know the PowerPoints very well. Most of the questions of on the test are straightforward and only a few tricky ones. I strongly emphasize knowing the PowerPoints very well!!
Group project is mandatory, you work on it during class all semester. 10 pts. Midterm & final are 70 points for both and 10 pts for quizzes and participation. It's not a hard class, study powerpoints thoroughly. I had a B+ average in the class and slacked off on final bc I thought it would be easy, ended up with a B.
Professor Hamilton is really knowledgable and really helpful if you reach out. His grades very fairly on the group project and if you keep up every class with the project you can finish it on the day he assigns to put it together in class. Go to class and get the easy quiz points, study the powerpoints and you should get an A.
Professor Hamilton is an inspiring educator and person. He has plenty of real world experience and cares about the subject (even if it's a bit dry). Course was a hybrid, watch the lecture videos and take notes and you should do well, material is mostly straight-forward.
Midterm and final make up 70% of your grade, so make sure you study for them! There are weekly in class quizzes, but they are from the ppt. Study the powerpoint and use quizlet. He grades the group project pretty lenient. Also, he changed the grading scale (90+ is an A). Personally, I crammed on the project and the final and ended up with a B+.
Not hard to do well but it was taught in hybrid so going to class was mandatory and pointless. You just work on group assignments and you learn everything on your own time. Hated the class.
Professor Hamilton isn't a bad professor but he is a bit more uptight compared to other professors. Just use quizlet to study for his exams and you will do well on the midterm and final. Textbook is not really necessary.
Hamilton was a good professor and I loved the hybrid format. You do all of the learning through the online videos, and class is more so practice with the concepts with a semester-long group project that is not difficult to complete. The exams (collectively worth 70%) can have some tricky questions, so just really know the slides to get an A.
Professor Hamilton's experience in the field of management made the class very interesting. Although the class is taught in a hybrid format with the majority of the course being taught online, there is a group project worth 10% of your grade and attendance is basically mandatory for the clicker quizzes. Stuff on exams is straight off the slides.
It's taught as a hybrid so you only have to go for one 80 minute class a week, where you work on a group activities, and then listen to his online lectures, which are pretty boring. For the exams, literally just memorize the Powerpoints and you'll be fine. His monotone voice makes class boring but attendance is mandatory for clicker questions
Kinda rude, arrogant, and unnecessarily mean. The course itself is pretty boring. Recommend taking it with Management Skills if you're RBS. (The material overlaps sometimes) Midterm and final are 70% of final grade. Study powerpoints. Videos are good if you need him to read the powerpoints to you. He'll mention J&J and Upenn a lot
Hybrid class was nice just b/c you really only have an 80-min class once a week. Online vids are just him reading the PPs so you prob won't even look at those. Just skim through the seperate PP slides he provides to study for exams. Easy grader on group project but exam questions are often very specific and seem like multiple answers would work.
Boring online lectures... Don't buy the textbook. It's not necessary and you won't have time to read it anyways. Study the slides for exams. Cares a lot about academic integrity. Go to class and take those easy clicker quizzes. You need to be very specific when making the ppt for group project.
His exams have nothing to do with the lectures or readings. Most of the work is common sense, but youll still have to try to do well instead of blindly answering whatever.
I was always exposed to so many great professors within the Rutgers Business School but sadly when I took this class, I was shocked. The professor is very dry with the materials and is not helpful at all when answering questions. The TA's were worse. Can't understand them which made it difficult. Want to save yourself, DO NOT take this professor.
If you don't watch his lectures, you wont pass. Very hard trying to concentrate on his lectures because of how monotone his voice is. 25% of students dropped his class after failing his first exam bc if you don't average a 70 on the mid term and final you will automatically fail. Highly recommend not taking him
Nice professor; very knowledgeable. Gets the job done Pros: learned a lot about management. Cons: grading & tests tougher than needs to be (should be a reasonably easy A; instead work hard and still get a B) bought the book & didn't use it. Weekly inclass assignments, group project (not hard), two tricky exams, clicker quizzes each week.
Prof. Hamilton does care about student learning but his voice is so boring and he is pretty arrogant. Also the material is just a bunch of concepts that seem pretty similar to one another, it would be nice if he explained how they differ so you can remember them better. But he does know his stuff personally
Slightly tough for an intro class even though criteria is clearly defined. Think you know material then test/ppt is trickier than expected. Good professor though. Definitely learned about management. Nice person & accessible. Do any extra credit offered. Keep up w/assignments & ppt will be reasonable. Quizzes & mandatory sessions. Will take again.
Absolute terrible professor. Very arrogant and unapproachable. Online lectures are awfully boring because he reads straight off the slides rather than explaining it. The entire class is based on memorizing the PowerPoints rather than actually learning something. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
This is the worst professor i have ever seen. He canceled the FINAL exam until the last minutes and did not give us any reason. Now we have to reschedule everything just because of this irresponsible behavior. He can use scantron to give a test but he just asks you to use CLICKER! His lecture is boring. AVOID him!!!
Terrible professor. He's cynical and unresponsive. He's also not that friendly and doesn't try to help outside class. Study the slides and know them by heart, even the tiniest things. He made the final way too difficult for my section. Would not recommend, but unfortunately you may have to. Good luck.
Knowledgeable in management solely through experience. Unfortunately, it doesn't translate to a career in academia in the slightest. Hamilton is an emotionless bore, his responses to concerns as heartlessly bureaucratic as one would expect from a former employee at J&J. Project, which you work on for the entire semester is only worth 10%. AVOID!
He's pretty straightforward with what he wants from his students. He is strict and may come across as rude but he treats his students like the adults they're supposed to be. Just memorize his slides for the quizzes and exams because they have all the information you need.
Overall, just an average professor teaching a boring, required class. Nothing particularly good or bad... class was hybrid so only had to attend once a week for 80 min. Exams were fair, just study slideshows on blackboard. Semester-long group project but you do majority in-class. Just don't slack off too much and should get A or at least B.
Lectures are not interesting. Does not seem interested whether the students learn or not. Avoid if possible.
All you have to do is watch his lecture videos (so boring) every week and notes and you'll get a B or better. I wish his classes weren't mandatory because he doesn't lecture during them; instead, you work on your group project week after week. Didn't think he was disrespectful until he canceled and rescheduled our final without giving a reason.
Group project is time consuming, not difficult, and occupies more than half of lecture. Pop quizzes are based off reading and online lectures. Exams are conceptually and application based. The final was curved (but usually isn't) because he had to change it and made it very difficult. Appears condescending in class, but really just demands respect
Looks like the dad from drake and josh - slightly heavier. Very boring voice. You work on a project the whole year that is only 10% of your grade. Even if you get a 100 on the project and pop quizzes you can still fail the class if you don't average a C on your exams. Avoid.
This was a hard class. It was a hybrid so everything we had to learn was posted online and we had to teach ourselves. 2 quizzes in almost every class, based on slides. Exams were hard, not easy to study for. Don't recommend.
Was not a fan of the way class was done, but its how management is at Rutgers. It's not an easy class, but if you really just keep up with the online lectures and take good notes, you will be fine.
Excellent class where you work on a group assignment throughout the semester. Work hard and follow the online lectures and an A is definitely within reach. One of my favorite professors so far, has real experience with J&J that he ties into his lectures.
Easy class, very specific exams. I find his dry personality hilarious. My trick for an A, don't procrastinate. A month before the exam, start memorizing a few slides a day and keep on repeating the cycle till the day of the exam so you literally know the powerpoints by heart. Don't bother with online videos or the textbook.
A great professor. Highly recommend him. Shocked some people left bad ratings. Management does require you to study- I would look over the powerpoints a few times before an exam and I got an A in the class.
You HAVE to study for the exams. Looking over the slides isnt enough, you have to memorize key concepts and definitions to do well on the exam. I got a 96 on the first exam, 100 on the project & pretty sure i bombed the final but thanks to the curve I managed to keep the A.
As long as you read the PowerPoint slides, watch the video lectures, and memorize the definitions and concepts, you should get at least a B. I like the hybrid format since in class you do your team case and clicker quizzes and the lectures are online.
Don't cram for this class. At least skim through the video lectures and get as many quiz points as possible. Easy A if you do all that and put in minimal effort (memorizing the concepts). Don't overthink the tests, they're pretty straightforward.
Professor Hamilton is a good choice for Intro to Management. The class is hybrid, so half the time you are working on a group project in class and the other half you watch the lecture online by yourself. The lecture part is extremely dry, however if you have friends to take it with the project isn't so bad. The exams were straightforward.
1 group project, 2 exams multiple choice, and clicker quizzes each in-class meeting. There are flashcards on quizlet for his stuff online if you google it. Dry lectures tho tbh
Took intro to Management, class seems like a joke, its very easy to get below an A if you're careless. Do well on the quizzes. Tests are straight off the ppts, but they can be tricky because ppts are lengthy. Hamilton is well intentioned, very clear, and forgiving. i like the man but the class is really boring. Not hard to get anA but yougottawork
If you want an A in this class, I highly recommend buying the book and keeping up with all the online lectures on a weekly basis, bc if you start procrastinating you will regret it. The only thing we work on is the group project in class all year, which you'll probably get an A on. All the info you learn in on the online lectures and the readings.
The grading criteria for Intro. to Management is very straightforward. As long as you go over the Powerpoints before class, you should be able to do well on the clicker quizzes (there is opportunity to earn all the points even if you miss a few). Review all the slides and you will do well on the exams. Group project is based on class exercises.
most boring class you will ever take. exams are challenging and studying the night before will not be sufficient enough. only take if its a requirement, no other professor will be better since the course is structured and uniform across sections.
There is a lot of information so the best thing you can do is to look over the slides again and again. Don't just study like three days before the exams. You think you'll have time but you won't. His class is not that easy as the title makes it seem so try to make it as easy for yourself as you can. You kind of don't have a choice for this class.
Exams are not easy as there is a lot of information to test. I really recommend keeping up with the online lectures. Read the textbook too. Clicker q's are easy points. The group project is easy if you keep up with it during the semester. Prof. is very monotone and can get boring, but he tries his best.
He makes interesting material dry. The penalty for verifying your exam grade is ridiculous. Lining up in the hallway before exams is ridiculous. I've had classes the same size with better structure. Group work was enjoyable however. A solid 3/5.
lectures are super boring. exams and quizzes are just straight memorization. Project is easy to get a good grade (make sure it looks professional, is clear,concise,and simple - follow the advice he gives you in class). don't waste your time with the textbook, all the info you need to pass can be found in the video lectures and powerpoints
he is very uncooperative and is not concerned of the students
An extremely rude professor, who always makes comments during the exam and interrupts almost every conversation. AVOID
Worst professor I have ever had. He has no idea what he is doing. He gave tough tests, but mostly multiple choice. I got nothing out of his online lectures. Just read the book and memorize PPT. This is not an easy class.
Easily the driest class I have taken at Rutgers, Prof. Hamilton makes absolutely no effort to even pretend that the material is interesting. Difficult to watch the online lectures as they immediately put you to sleep, and the class should be flipped so that Hamilton lectures in class rather than do nothing. Grade inflation due to rampant cheating.
I did great on the two exams, and I actually got an 11/10 for the quizzes. He actually gives you one point if you get above a 70 on a department exam that has to do with the class. He is super boring sit up top in the lecture so you can look at your phone. Powerpoints, need to know verbatim! This man doesn't teach so a one is fitting.
Makes you obtain a 70% average on both exams and if you fail to do so you automatically fail the course. The tests are doable but you have to read over his powerpoint's and you have to treat those like your best friend. Won't offer extra credit or help you out really just gives you the same advice over and over again.
Took his class during the summer term which I highly recommend. His tests aren't cake but if you look over the slides and really study hard for a few days before you should be fine. I found his class very interesting as there is a lot of out of the class uses to the material discussed in class. He can be very dry in lecture but knows his stuff
Hamilton has an extremely soporific voice that makes paying attention extremely difficult. He mostly just reads from the slides. He's also extremely rude.
Yes, He is boring not much can you do about that, but if you follow exactly how he tells you to study and work on your project you should have no trouble getting that A, He does offer extra credit at the end of the semester and you can earn one point extra for your 10 quiz pts. If you want your A take this advice Study a week prior
Easy A if you keep up with the pace of the class. Quizzes every week but multiple opportunities to get 100% credit for your quiz grade. He gives you like 13 and you only need to get 2/3 on 10 quizzes. Exams are super straightforward. The slides he gives you has everything you need to succeed.
Very clear cut class. Make sure you have good group members and the class will be a breeze. A tip: take notes for every online lecture and study them before the midterm and final. The pace is pretty fast and its easy to fall behind. Prof Hamilton himself is an awesome guy and the tests weren't too hard (because I kept up with lectures).
Great guy. A lot of memorization, but it's management so meh. Make sure you have reliable team members but I personally don't think your grade in this class relies on your teammates as much as management skills does.
This ain't it chief. The curriculum for the class is absolutely trash. I did amazing on the homework, quizzes, and group proj. not the best test taker but there are only two exams for this class and if you do horrible on one then you are better off dropping the class & there goes your money. Prof. reads off the slides and is rude and monotone.
Worst experience I've ever had in a class. Reads off the slides and places more emphasis on team project worth 10% of the grade than exams worth 70%. Some questions didnt even relate to the slides so maybe the book is worth buying. Cant even review your exam to know where you went wrong. Prof also lacks compassion. Take someone else.
This class is difficult in that you need to do a lot of heavy memorization. Get ready to look at his ppt slides for several hours each week. Listen to his lectures on 2x speed because he talks extremely slowly in the vids. Memorize memorize memorize and crank it out on the exam. Weekly quizzes and a group project that has strict grading standards.
Online sessions very engaging and the exams reflect what he emphasized but can be challenging. Gives good advice and interesting group project. Very good guy in general.
His lectures are boring and he doesn't interest his students in the material. The group project isn't difficult, it's just tedious, and the exams require memorization of concepts discussed in class. You have to put in some work to get a good grade, but just study a few days before the exams and you'll do well.
Okay! Yeah he is monotone, Boring but learning about management is not rainbow and roses, instead of focusing on his tone focus on the concept that he is telling you if you listen closely he does advice his student with some amazing ideas about management and how to handle it. Rest is easy do the work you are in College.
He is a horrible professor. He asks you to ask the TA for everything. He's too lazy to help and does not even care about my success. His favorite song is Lights by Ellie Goulding. He also plays a lot of annoying music before the start of class. Use the time before the class session to help the students.
You have to go to class in order to earn clicker and attendance points, but the class is a joke. You basically do all the work outside of class and then sit and listen to him ramble on about stuff. Don't buy the book. Tests are reasonable. Gives many opportunities for extra credit
The reviews of Hamilton scared me a bit before I took this class but honestly he's an okay dude. He's hard to read sometimes and his class is devoted to this group project instead of lectures - which he makes you do for hw and boy is it a lot of work. I rec staying on top of of the material by using weekly hw to make your study guides for exams.
Strict and sometimes came across as an angry guy who didnt want to be there. Lectures are incredibly boring, might be a nice guy outside of the classroom but overall this class was one of my least favorite. Intro to Management is ridden with asinine policies and rules and some of that may be beyond this Professor's control
Exams are easy straightforward memorizing & definitions. Quizzes were difficult to make sure to sit in the back so you can cheat. Most of the classwork is done outside of class. Professor is boring and monotone. Very strict & strange policies. Wouldnt recommend unless there is someone else. Generous grader on group project. Attendance is mandatory
Professor Hamilton really is not a bad professor at all. His lectures are extremely boring and you have to go because he gives quizzes each class. However the quizzes are an absolute joke and are just grade boosters. Exams can be a bit tricky but are pretty straightforward. Just study like 2-3 days in advance and your set for a B. Project is easy.
Professor Hamilton is amazing! He cares that students learn about his class. During class you work on the semester-long group project which ends up being graded pretty leniently. The tests are information-heavy so just memorize the slides he posts because questions are taken directly from there. Review the slides before class each for the quizzes
He runs his class very well. Doesn't give the most exciting lectures, but he does know what he's talking about and sometimes does make management interesting, even if that's not what you're into. Don't need the textbook. Gotta show up for class. Exams are easy if you review the material a bit, so are the clicker quizzes.
Professor Hamilton is a pretty straightforward guy. His grading criteria is kind of messed up. I ended with an 81 in his class but it counted as a C+. His lectures are boring but you can get through it. Tests and quizzes were hard for me even though I studied a lot.
The class is not challenging. Few case studies, two exams, and a group project. Prof. Hamilton is okay. He is often difficult to access outside of class and sometimes does not respond to emails at all. The final grade is dependant on very few assignments listed above. A single small mistake can bring you down a grade level. Grading can be unfair.
Pretty straight forward class. Group project isn't bad at all if you get a good group. Not the warmest professor but knows his stuff for sure.
(had him for virtual classes) He was an alright dude, he kept the class organized. read the syllabus, so uk whats going on. The grading was straight forward, exams are all the material from slides and textbook. other assignments and team project are simple enough at least w/ my exp. Hes a solid choice for this class.
Not the most friendly but tests are open notes and fair if you take good notes. Just be prepared to spend at least a few hours a week reading and taking notes from the textbook. Group project is not bad if you have a good group. My one recommendation is to take extremely detailed notes as these will be very useful on exams.
Fairly easy A, but I did not like him as a professor. Dont forget your RUID or clicker for exams. He will take 10% off for not having your RUID. Hell likely give you a written exam if you forget your clicker, but sometimes he j wont let you take it.
An absolute jerk of a teacher. Compared himself to a CEO of a company on the first day when someone very clearly accidentally drew on his slide in BlackBoard Collaborate. Constantly telling students to stop talking and using the chat to communicate. Doesn't answer questions about exams and technology. Honestly, does he even like teaching???
The most arrogant professor I have ever had. He does not care about students and constantly cuts people off while speaking. He doesnt know how to use canvass but will blame students for his mistakes. dont bother taking this guy
rudest professor dont take him. Many other teachers do a better job
He can be a bit rude but I took the class online so it wasn't a problem. There's a quiz at the end of each class but you can use your notes and printed power point to help, same with the test. Group project wasn't bad either if you get a good group. Not a bad class, wouldn't take it with him again though.
Very monotone and not engaging. Did not like his grading criteria, but it was straightforward. Attend class, do your work, and study for exams. Exams should be easy as you can use your study guides. Kind of annoying if your group sucks for the whole semester.
Really good professor. He is very detailed and organized. His course and layout of his course really explains his management skills and experience. Overall nice guy, helps you throughout and his course is really easy to understand. You also lear a lot. Just be ready to some work and put in some effort. It's simple, put in the effort and get the A.
Not a good person.
Regret taking him. He gives so much homework and he doesnt even teach every in person class is just with your group members and basically you have to study on your own. Other classes before this was all open note but now its not. Unfair. I really dislike him dont take him.
Contrary to the rest of the reviews, he's actually a super chill teacher. He let us out at least 20 minutes early almost every class. He also curved everyone who was within 1 point of another letter grade grade's up. I ended the class with an 89.6, and he curved it to a 90, so he's pretty lenient with that type of stuff.
Maybe my experience was skewed because I took the honors section (which was much smaller), but I found him to be fine. He has a lot of experience and enjoys talking about it, and likes when people ask questions. The class itself is very straightforward. Just do the work and study a bit before the exams (memorization-heavy) to get a good grade.
This professor is the worst, do not take him. He is very arrogant and does not care for his students. Take anyone but him.
He is fine. Class is all about memorization so if you can't memorize well, you aren't gonna do so well on the exams. Boring class tbh.
Professor Hamilton gave a lot of assignments, but they didn't take super long and his exams were pretty easy. The class is heavy group work though so if you have a bad group I could see it being more difficult. You get assigned your group at the beginning and you are with them for the whole semester. Make sure to do the study guides properly!
Take this guy. He might be a prick and very boring, but he is a man of his words. He told us exactly what to study for the exam and that if you know the content he told you to study you will get a guaranteed B in the class and to get an A you had to put additional effort by acing all the other assignments . It was a chill and easy class overall.
Dry professor, but if you get to know him he is pretty cool. Semester long group project which is boring, but easy. Exams are chill and overall a class to come hang out with your group or sleep. I recommend to take him.
Was fine till the the first test. He posted the final instead of the first exam and did not notice till everyone was half done. When you are done with tests, no phones, computer closed, nothing out, just have to sit there. Then yelled at TAs for not noticing people left to use the bathroom because they literally can't do anything else. Very Rude.
Hamilton didn't do much. His class was mainly just the semester long group project, being told to read Chapter X in the textbook, then the quizzes being 10x harder than anything we'd reviewed in class. Highly doubt this man even makes his own exams based off how difficult of things he asks vs how badly he lectures (if he even bothers to). Big nope.
A pretty good teacher that is clear and forward in what he wants.
he is pretty tough, and always stopping students when they are presenting
The class will be somewhat the same across all the professors, but remember, this class is extremely test-heavy. The 2 exams in this class make up 60% of your grade. Getting an A is extremely reliant on doing well on those exams. Exams are just straight memorization, so lock in at least a week before the exams because it's a lot.
The class is very easy, however 60% of your grade is based on the 2 tests. The tests are just memorization so they are pretty easy. The work is just busy work, but the study guides come in handy during review for the test. Professor Hamilton is not bad and he uses a lot of personal anecdotes to explain situations.
Professor Hamilton is a good professor. Has a lot of insight in the field of management. There's only two tests in the entire class worth more than half of your grade so watch out for those. Other than that the group project is fine!!
this bum writes the textbook and then makes us buy it what a bum jit
This class is in general useless and extremely test-heavy. He's an ok professor but it's so painful going to class and doing the assignments. Exam questions are worded weirdly and he had to curve our 2nd exam because of how bad everyone did. Also if you have ass teammates for the semester-long project then you're cooked.
I don't understand why people criticize Professor Hamilton, he's very knowledgeable and an interesting guy with good stories. His class is structured very well and he is a very fair grader. His class is a little tough as a lot of the weight is on the exams, but achieving a B minimum is very easy. Getting an A requires doing well on the exams.
required attendance, class is one cumulative group project, way too much busy work and is boring/repetitive, need to study textbook for exams and provides no supplemental study material besides assigned textbook outlines
Mandatory attendance, and very montatone lectures. Not a hard class, but tons of busy work that was very repetitive, and studying for the exams wasn't hard but annoying. Weird to not give us the option to check answers during the exam once we moved on to the next question. Wouldn't take him again.
The class was overall pretty easy. It's mostly busy work and the exams aren't too bad either. I didn't enjoy the way he randomly called on people in class and had a slightly condescending attitude.
Hybrid class with an easy group project. Exams are heavily weighted and challenging because of poorly worded questions and topics not covered in class. You must score at least 85-90 on both exams to do well. Reading the textbook takes time, but watching the lectures online covers the same content.
This guy is tough to deal with. Not a easy going person.
His rating doesn't do him justice. He is actually a really good professor, but he has some rules like "try not going to the bathroom during an exam". That isn't that hard to follow. He is also an interesting person and drops some knowledge when you talk to him. His management class is genuinely not difficult as long as you have a good group.
Professor Hamilton runs a structured class, though sometimes his rules can be a bit strict. The content is manageable, but exams are challenging. Utilizing resources like the textbook and unstuck AI helped me prepare effectively.
The professor says that excused absences do not affect your grade, but when I had 4 absences (all with doctor's notes excusing me due to very important surgery), he told me that there was nothing I could do and that I was going to fail the course. Absolutely disrespectful and did not follow his own syllabus. Great class, terrible professor.
One of my best professors at Rutgers and probably some of the best feedback I've gotten. Barely scraped out an A, be warned that the exams are based off of the asynchronous work. Major props, he wrote the textbook but purposely made it as cheap as possible. I don't understand the people rating him poorly, they likely didn't put in effort.
Professor is extremely disrespectful. You can be so nice and he will still be disrespectful and not understanding at all.
Very rude and very sarcastic
I barely got an A but over the summer I had a bad schedule so I had to negotiate which seemed intimidating at first but we came to an agreement later and the class went smoothly. all assignments and group projects were very easy. He seems passive aggressive but is very understanding. He gave me good feedback and each class went smoothly.
I took Intro to Management as an online summer course that was half asynch and half online meetings. We met once a week for about 4 hours and he used every single minute of it. He was a tough grader and assigned a lot of reading, individual, and group projects. It was kind of repetitive and he was a little passive aggressive but gave good feedback.
He's alright, kinda passive aggressive. gives good feedback (online hald async sesh). the class is SOOO much work for summer online, 3 chapters a week. his exams (in person too), are pretty hard and make up most of your grade. make sure you are studying hard for those. the final project no one gets an 100, follow his feedbac and the directionsforit
bro was adamant that we buy the textbook ... he wrote it. bffr. we already pay for the course but have to pay extra to teach it to ourselves. anyway this was such an easy class
This class has an overwhelming workload with constant quizzes, heavy homework, and very complicated exams. After an in-person exam with LockDown and four TAs watching, I was told face-to-face that I must have cheated and given no real chance to explain. Lectures feel unhelpful, yet attendance is mandatory.
The exams for his class might of as well been graded as finals because if you do poorly on one even if you're averaging almost 100 you will most likely not be able to get over a C+. For the exams they are lock down, and you're not able to go back to previous answers. He is not the most encouraging professor either, but no denying he has expertise.
Its super easy as long as you read and understand the textbook i promise its not hard at all.
What a wonderful professor and an amazing person. He truly wants students to succeed. Read the textbook he provides to you, Make sure you attend in class lecture and participate. He makes the class fun and provides good feedback. overall very nice professor and great class!
I had to retake this class at Rutgers since my credits wouldn't transfer, but honestly worst prof I've had in this course, the class and material itself is easy his exam are just made so you don't pass, they make no sense and you think you got a 90 when really you got a 65, also he's just rude and has the biggest ego ive ever seen a prof have.
Lectured most of times, group work mostly. Just have to study the textbook for the test. The group project is graded harshly, but everything else is fine.
Took his honors section and had a great time; he has great advice and insights provided you are willing to listen. He'll like you as long as you do your work properly and have common sense. The course itself is largely memorization based so not too hard. He is a bit strict on the group project, but just take your time on it and you're good.
Professor Hamilton is very calm, but also a little demanding. However, I mean that in the good way. Attendance is mandatory, and if you are consistent with the weekly study guides and reading the textbook, you should be prepared for class and exams. The group project is a semester long project, that is pretty easy, but surprisingly graded harshly.
