This is a philosophy style class taught by a man who contains so much info it is har d for him to realize we are not all as versed in the classics of thought quite like him, but as far as learning and expanding your veiw of the world you couldn't ask for more. Ed is also an amazing person I just dare you to tell him he can't do something, take his class you'll see what I mean

He is definitely a hard teacher. I learned a lot though. He challenges you to think and actually try to learn on your own. Some people may not like that but I enjoyed it. If you do take his class be prepared to do a lot of work!

I have learned so much from his class. He helps you think outside the box. Very entertaining and intense discussions i loved it.

A challenging and thought provoking professor. My conversations with him have always been enlightening. Not a professor for those who do not want thier ideas challenged or who expect an easy "A"

This guy is extremely smart. I have learned a ton in this class by just listening to his lectures. His class becomes more like a history class in many ways. As others stated, he does make you think outside of the box and gives you a lot of great insights about the current world. He does believe all of his opinions are true, seems to bashe religion.

Awesome teacher just to say the least. He has a different teaching method then most are used to, but I really enjoyed his class. He covers the amazing thinkers of old, and contrasts it with current events and what is happening today. If you are looking for a very good supplement to your college education take this course.

Professor Engh is an excellent teacher for this subject. He is very direct and expects the student to make the effort, which is how the business world actually works! You must think critically to understand the point of his lectures, again, something valuable in the 'real world'.

Decent class. The material was pretty interesting and he was good at explaining things. The tests were a bit hard to predict and the questions were not all that clear. There is a moderate amount of homework, but you can fake through it without too much effort.

He challenges students to prepare for the real world. He has a lot of experience.

Excellent instructor who expects excellence from his students. Course was not difficult to understand, but the amount of homework may seem overwhelming at first. He really tries to bring out the best in his students, many cannot keep up. If you are looking for a challenge that will help you prepare for a 4 year institution this is the guy.

very smart guy, lots of homework but you can fake your way through it. tests are all that matter

Very interesting class. I took it online, but it would of been a lot easier to take in class. There is a lot of busy work but he gives a home work syllabus so you know what to expect. He may come off rude if you are easily offended, but he is an awesome professor.

Prof. Engh's class is for people who are capable of thinking. If you want to manage a Walmart, well you're probably not going to college... But anyways, his class is really interesting and always had great discussions.

Great Professor, maybe the best I have ever had. He is extremely helpful, professional, hilarious, clear in his expectations, well read, and informative. Take his classes whatever you are majoring in!

This is a hard class, but it pays of with how much you will learn. If you can think and compreheand difficult reading you will do well in this class. If you want to see if you can survive college, this is the class to take. so glad this was my first class coming back to college, showed me why I did. If you want to stumble through life stay away.

I enjoyed this class immensely. Some of the complaints on this page have legitimacy, but I have to disagree with most. It's a tougher than average class because the teacher is asking for more participation and effort. In the end, he is self-righteous but also very willing to explain the curriculum and what you learn in the end is worth everything.

Awesome teacher, I learned a lot in this class. Don't expect an easy A though, lots of reading and homework. Tests are fairly easy though.

smart guy, good teacher homework is pretty easy if you read the book good class discussions

This was my first business class at slcc. It was interesting and the homework load was not overwhelming. There are a lot of notes but the class kept me interested and thinking. I would recommend this class to anyone interested in business.

He was extremely helpful and very responsive online. There were assignments twice a week for the online class and three tests, which if you read the book will pass. He inspired me to read more quality literature and encouraged me because he saw I really tried. Totally recommend taking him.

great prefessor

prepare to read and discuss in class

Professor Engh has a true passion for education. He is a teacher who truly cares about his students making certain everyone has a full understanding of the readings. There are a lot of assignments but they are based on how you translate the material. He has the intellect to teach critical thinking. He is open to students suggestions. Just ask him.

Really intelligent. Takes thinking to a new level. Used to work for NASA. Would take class again, or even another class he offered to teach. very insightful to how the world works.

Great teacher. If you need help just email him and he will get back to very quickly. Wants you to succeed. Seems hard at first, but once you get to know him and the course, it's easy; as long as you do the homework. The homework is answers that you interpret from the text, as long as you get the basic concepts you will do fine

You'll spend most of your time on this class. There is lots of homework all the time. But if you do the homework, you will pass the class. Tests are pretty easy as long as you study.

Professor Engh is a great teacher and person. If you are immature and irresponsible you might not like his methods and will less likely do well. The required assignments are not few, but this is a college coarse. The real world will not be much more lenient. I took away more from his Bus1050 class than I have in any other by a long shot.

Discussion based class each time. A lot of reading out of his book. Wasn't to hard of a class as long as you do the homework.

Professor Engh was very helpful in learning what is expected from College, was he tough? Yes. But I appreciated the fact that he is honest with expectations.

Engh is tough, but I felt like he was fair. I didn't find his comments to be condescending. More like... encouraging to make you think harder. There is a lot of reading, and homework. That's expected though when you're taking a class online. I didn't enjoy the class discussion assignments where you had to critique other students though.

Mr Engh's classes are tough, but I can appreciate a teacher where the assignments and feedback help me be a better student for future classes. I like that he throws in some humor a long the way too. If you don't have tough skin you won't be able to handle his style of feedback though.

There were 3 tests in the course, and 2/3 were reading comprehension, which is unline tests you're used to where you're tested on facts you've learned. Very straight forward online class that's easy to maintain a schedule and get a good grade.

I really enjoyed this professor, he is like a younger Stephen Hawking, he wrote / compiled the textbook so he knows the material inside and out. He loves to get students' attention and will ask questions over and over again in order to understand different points of view. He really enjoys to hear from his students, can seem condescending but isn't

Probably one of the smartest and wisest professors out there. You learn a lot in Prof. Engh's class, it's kind of like a mixture of a philosophy, history and a critical thinking class. Homework can be long somedays but easy for the most part, show up and do what's asked of you and you should get an A no problem.

There are a ton of reading assignments. Overall I learned a lot from each paper I read. He does not require a text book which is very nice. The tests are not too bad if you have read the material for your homework. There is usually an assignment due every other day. When I had questions he was very helpful and emailed me right back.

A lot of reading and answering questions. If you keep up on the assignments, which are reading a essay and answering questions, its a fairly easy class. He gives you credit on the assignments as long as it appears you really tried even if the answers are wrong. However, if you don't do the assignments then you just miss out.

The class is designed with text written by Engh himself and ancient texts to teach you how to think critically. The text make you question religion, politics, moral values, and science to practice thinking critically. Two assignments due a week with class discussion. If you don't understand the purpose of the class; you'll be frustrated whole time.

This class is based around inspiring you to think critically about the role of business in our world, and the different socioeconomic systems which have existed throughout history. If you don't appreciate philosophical discussion, and having your beliefs challenged then this course might not be ideal for you.

Great class! The amount of reading was annoying at first but it was actually all interesting and relevant to a lot of a today's issues. Learned a lot and would definitely take another course from him, if I could.

This class is tough, but well worth it. There is a lot of reading, be prepared to do work. Professor gives great feedback, tests are online. Lots to learn and interesting subjects. Do not take this class if you are not mature enough to handle it! Overall great class.

It's a 3c/h college course, which translates to 9 hours of reading/homework per week if you want an A - no surprise. No textbook, all readings provided, and GREAT feedback given on discussions/assignments. Two reading assignments and discussions per week. Easy if you do the reading! My critical thinking skills improved dramatically. I loved it!

I really enjoyed the course this semester, it really give notice to critical thinking, and how to apply critical thinking in my everyday life. I would love to take a similar course.

Fantastic teacher, he pushes his students to think critically but you have to show up for class. Participation is 10% of your final grade but all you have to do is show up and do the readings (somewhat lengthy). Tests are easy as well. Overall a fantastic teacher!

This is a critical thinking class and the reading is primarily philosophy type readings. They can be hard, but are interesting and make you think since that is the intention. I passed the final with an A without studying. It's just about having reading comprehension and class participation.

He is good

If you attend every class, participate often and complete all the homework you won't have a problem passing. I thought the class discussions were interesting and the professor was knowledgeable and fair.

Professor Engh gives you interesting papers to read. You will learn a lot in his class if you are willing to be open minded. Critical thinking skills are a must.

Professor Engh is one of a kind! Truly an amazing professor who pushes students to do their best work. Had a great experience in this class.

Professor Engh comes across as a little abrasive at the start. He has a strict policy on the type of work he expects from his students as well as when he expects work to be submitted. But you'll quickly learn that he offers the best feedback (well thought out) and that he is incredibly passionate about educating. He's the best professor I've had.

Professor Engh is passionate about education. My biggest issue with him is his bias against religion, which will definitely hurt your grade if you disagree with him on that. Besides that though he is a great teacher who gives solid feedback and genuinely wants you to learn. There is a lot of reading and you really have to pay attention.

His tests were often multiple choice with the majority of the questions being ridiculous answers that made me laugh. He stuck with me even though I didn't participate in the first few lessons. I learned a lot of good studying practices from him that will help me for the rest of my life.

The syllabus is straight forward and really well organized. If you don't have a problem reading you should enjoy the them. Give him a chance, he's good.

Attendance and participation matter. There are readings every week with questions to make sure you understood the point but they are interesting and come from sources ranging from religious texts to ancient philosophers to modern day businesspeople. Go to class, participate, do the readings and assignments on time. Labor intensive but not a hard A.

This class has alot of reading, to be expected of a business history course. Engh left great feedback and would respond to emails withing a day or two. The assignments will take alot of work, but they are interesting and fun. The course is not very difficult, but it is very time consuming. Try to stay ahead on the work, as each week is different

It was difficult to take this course as it required a lot of homework. I wouldn't judge this course from the beginning because as we progressed into what message was being conveyed, it was actually a course where I learned a lot. Give it a chance and listen to his feedback and you will excel.

Professor Engh has been my favorite professor Ive ever had in my college career. He is so willing to go above and beyond to help his students and worked with me when I had surgery. He grades fairly, always responded quickly and gave extensive and thoughtful responses when I was confused on a subject or reading. 10/10 recommend!

Professor Engh's BUS 1050 online course was tough, but more than worth it. I learned everything I ever wanted to learn about the foundations of Business. You'll be busy, an hour or two a day to go over the readings. But, Professor Engh is very responsive and is extremely helpful with questions, and advice for assignments, discussions, even papers!

Professor Edward Engh was my favorite professor this semester. Yes, there is a lot of ready and homework but it is doable. He helped me a lot when needed and his class was so educational. He made me get out of my comfort zone and definitely made me think. If you're looking for an easy A this class is not for you.

I took BUS 1050 online and it was a great experience. there may have been a lot of reading but the content level was not too difficult so it balanced out. The grading feedback was also some of the best I have ever seen from a professor and it was very helpful for not only this course but other courses as well.

Engh is awesome. Yes, there is a lot of reading. Yes, he is a tough grader. While these are true, he will never just give you a 0, or bad grade without explaining why and how to improve. I would not recommend this class for online students, especially in the summer semester, its then an accelerated course on top of a shortened semester. Nice guy!
