Great Prof--Fun class--Learned a lot!

This teacher is awesome. He likes doing a lot of group work and likes to read from slides. After some discussion he strayed away from it, but he used to do that a lot and it was real boring. But his group work is mad fun and if you read the textbook, his tests aren't bad at all. I had fun and had an A in the class.

Great Prof!! Enjoyed the classthe midterms were tough but final was easy. Attend the class for good grades and have fun!!

Definitly not a easy class but a great professor. his lectures and activities are so damn fun it just impossible not to like him.

excellent professor in cant say no more than this but by saying he is excellent i dont mean he is easy coz he is not easy but he is excellent because he really know how to teach, ha lots of charisma and tries to transmit us his experience in order to help us, amazing professor

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS IN THE SUMMER!! He is a great professor and sure knows a lot but taking his class in summer was hell. He is very strict and demands a lot from students. Other prof. are more easy going in the summ. than him. But you learn a lot.

Great professor, makes the class interesting, attendence is a must, if you want to get a good grade. book and notes for test. test are hard, but he gives you every chance to get a good grade.

Really fair teacher. Teaches management in a different way, makes class interesting. Lectures a little boring but what lectures are fun? Class exercises set him apart from other teachers by 3 car lengths!! It's just so much fun.pay attention, and you'll take from the class more than an A or a B...you'll see =)

he is amazing!!!!Take him! there are 2 tests he drops the lowest grade and curves the 1st test!!! you cant go wrong with him. He interacts the entire class in discussions time flies by and many people never wanted to elave his class...best experience i ever had!

He is the best! Very interesting lecture and u'll learn a lot. Exams aren't too hard. Had a lot fun! Highly recommed to take him. You won't regret it. A lot of work, but they are easy. The most interesting class i ever had at Baruch!!!! Take him i u can!!!!

If you want to learn and come out of the BPL class with an experience that will help lay a foundation for you as a student going into the business world (especially if you have no experience), prof Kurpis is the professor to take.

he is very helpful and organized..... take him if you want to learn....

He's a full package. Fun, knowledgeable, democratic yet demanding. His class is "unlike any that you experienced before". If there is such a thing as "teaching magic" Prof. Kurpis has it. Enjoy the show :) I'm really surprised that there's no more reviews here, because I'm sure he left a strong impression on every one of his students.

In his class you pretty much determine your own grade through your presentatioon. He does not "teach" because 80% of class time is spent in your group working on presentation and simulation. The first day of class when you choose your group will probably determine your fate for the rest of the semester, so be REALLY careful who you team up with!

Not much to teach since this is introductory to basic management. Learn about team dynamics, office politics, social psychology on your own, as these things will be helpful in class. The more creative you are, the better.

Prof. Kurpis is a wonderful teacher, very approachable and helpful. However, his class demands a major commitment. There is a class-long simulation, which is as hard as it is time-consuming. There is also a 45 min long presentation - pretty hard! It is a major research project, so start early!

Prof Kurpis's BPL will be the best preparation you can get for Corporate America. The class is hard and time-consuming, not a class a "lazy senior just trying to pass" should take. However if you put in the hard work and effort, he notices and will grade accordingly. Grading is heavily relied on sim & presentation, so choose your group carefully

THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER! class is super fun! he is the best professor ever. follow what he says the tests are on and you'll get an easy A! great professor. if all professors were liek him baruch would be great!

You don't really need the book until the final -which was open book. He is super awesome and cool! He makes the class fun and interactive. I definitely recommend him!

his tests were not easy ans essay question was a little bit difficult; what do you think about a decent employee turns to be a useless one because of accident. You have to memorize exactly all slides and notes before taking exams. final was open book, but it was hard to find the answers. However his class was excellent to begin MGT. not a easy A.

The oral part of the exam was part his April fool's joke to us. There wasn't really an oral essay. Exams aren't the easiest and some of the sections are tricky, but as along as you read over the textbook and focus on the pwrpt slides and your notes, you should do fine. The class activities were definitely engaging and makes the class unique.

This class is far from hard. His exams are not difficult. However, you do need to study. Isn't that part of being an academic?? People just expect to be given an A. Ridiculous requests from some of the students. Lots of opportunity for extra credit. Looking for a light class take him. Intro to management.... very easy.

Awesome professor, awesome class. A must take.

His teaching style is totally different than what we are used to and his lectures are definitely not just another boring lectures.This is the 1st class i honestly didn't count the min. till the end of class.For the test- You really need to know the material in order to get a good grade but his reviews are pretty good.

This was by far the most fun class I've taken at Baruch. He does not teach from the textbook so do not buy it. The whole time you will be working on your simulation and your presentation. He will help you along the way. Just make sure your group isn't filled with slackers and you should do fine.

Great Professor. He truly cares about his students and will give you straight forward answers. I was sooo scared of taking BPL but made it manageable. BPL is a class that you will need to devote yourself into and be careful who is in your group.

Not your typical management class, you do a lot of fun stuff throughout the semester which ties in with management in one way or another. He has a lot of experience working for NBC for many years, which he talks about during his lectures. He also gives you a lot of helpful advice to succeed in the real world. Read his blog, its very interesting

Excellent professor, the kind of person you hope to find when you go off to find higher learning.

Dear Professor. I hope you read your rating here. Just for the benefit of future generations please change your exam's style. Who needs to know all this junk terms from book in life??? It's all common sense, why we need to memorize useless information from the book? Your exams do not reflect the level of understanding. Don't waste our time.

His class is very interesting and just fun. He is nice and explains everything very good. Gives an extra credit. BUT very tricky and his tests are not fair, and the grading accordingly. If you did not win the extra credit in numerous activities (what happens most of the time) you most likely get bad grade for the test. TESTS ARE REALLY BAD.

It's the only class i really LOVED through all my years at school! His tests are not hard - they are just NOT banal and commonsense. But if you go to school just to get an A, but NOT to learn something, then don't take him. Because here you will have to use your brain! Great prof and gives hands-on experience

Great Professor..I took him for both Mgt 3120 and BPL 5100. Very knowledgeable and a great guy. Work in BPL is tough all-around but as long as you CHOOSE THE RIGHT GROUP you will be fine. Hands down the greatest professor I've had. Not easy, you have to work for that A but you will actually learn a lot along the way!!

This is an extremely time consuming class, but you learn everything about the real world. Professor Kurpis basically puts you in the shoes of real CEO's and makes you work for your grade. There is a lot of work, but it is separated over time.

BPL is a very difficult class to begin with. Professor Kurpis does a great job getting you through it.

BPL is extremely time consuming &very intense.For the most part u'r grade depends on u'r group performance,so pick u'r group wisely. Prof.K is great & by far the best Prof. @ Baruch.I highly recommend taking Him.He bring his own working experience into class therefor you will definitely learn a lot & you will greatly benefit from it in the future

If your lazy this class will be hard for you indeed. He is great! You people think that shcool is made of multiple choice? No its not! He gives extra credit apportunities every other class and for an average person you can easily get 10 extra credits. Class activities are fun. And please dont talk too much about nothing, I dont think he likes it.

It was a different style of teaching.He is very creative and will keep your attention.He is also very big on the BPL presentation.He will push you to think outside the box.Healthy competition is encouraged.Taught us what to expect in a business world.I learned a lot and will remember him. Grade:A

One of the best professors in Baruch. He is fun, interesting, innovative and has tons of personal experience to share. His teaching methods are refreshing and helpful. If you can take him definitely do so. You won't regret it

He offers a ton of opportunities to improve your grade with class and external extra credit assignments and activities. If you want to enjoy a class and really take in the subject, Kurpis is the best prof.

Without a doubt, the best prof at Baruch. He cares about giving everyone a good experience in his course. He is NOT a difficult prof, he just wants you to try.

He is GREAT!!! His classes are fun and entertaining, he knows his stuff and tries to make people like it the way he does it. Gives extra credit assignments but his exams are not easy, but he wants everyone to succeed and get a good great. I was reading the text book but it is not mandatory.People who did not still did good.

He's a great professor who cares about his students. Attend class, do all your assignments, STUDY FOR THE EXAMS, and you'll get an A with ease. YOu just have to put in the work. His test are no walk in the park neither, and requires you to really be knowledgeable in the subject. One of the best professors at Baruch College. TAKE HIM! TRUST ME!

Awesome professor with a great personality. Lots of fun, unique activities where we compete for much needed bonus points on neck-breaking exams. Exams are difficult b/c of all the material (which, honestly, is useless info) but you can't blame him; its departmental policy. Take him if you want to have fun but will also put effort in studying.

Prof Kurpis is by far the best professor at Baruch. If this will be the last class you take, it is well worth it. Not an easy class, but he is very helpful and does his best to make it enjoyable and understandable. Group is very important, as you will probably speak to them everyday for the entire course. Took this class over the Summer.

Great professor. I had him for Mgt 3120 and also bpl 5100. He's fun and straight to the point. Takes all the assignments very seriously and always gives back constructive feedback. Treats you like the outside business world. Helpful, fun, innovative and just down to earth. His grades reflect on how much work you put into the class.

Took BPL over the summer. Not easy, but Great professor. Your grade will depend on how much effort you put in and your group. PICK A GOOD GROUP. He is very real world, no academic bullsht. You will learn alot, probably more than in any other course at baruch as what you learn here actually applies to real life.

Extremely time consuming class. You have to work hard. No real world knowledge. You will play simulation GAME. That is a game, about having a company. At least that was fun. However the other part of the course is not fun. Group presentation for 50 min. Pick your group wisely because you will do their work, if they fail. Got an A, but work hard.

What a GREAT PROF! Yes, you have to do work in BPL, that should be no secret to anyone. He'll help you with the simulation if you need it (and ask) and the presentation assignment is fun and really prepares you for the way it is done in the real world. Kurpis cares about his students, you won't regret taking him.

He has such an amazing personality!! Class is so much fun! Need to do Blog assignment every other week as homework which is not difficult. Gives you chances to get extra credit if you win the group project and exams are fair as long as you study his slides and read the textbook! (not tricky).Take him! He's great!

the person below me is also in my class right now. the class average was a 60 because there was a lot of information and no one studied. what they didnt tell you was he was so nice about it and upset that the class average was that bad, he gave us a 10 point extra credit assignment and he allowed us to drop the lowest grade. kurpis is GREAT take.

Engaging, interesting, fun class. The exams are not too easy but there are plenty of extra credit assignments you can do to boost your grade. Also the blog is an easy 20% of your grade. 2 midterms (20% each), final (30%), and the final 10% are for participating in management research and attendance and participation. HIGHLY recommend

This class was very interesting, but very hard. Although he gives an opportunity to get extra credits, most of the times nobody was able to get them. I would say that this class is an easy B, but not an A.

I think his overall grade is little misleading for BPL students.So here it is.He has everything you may ask from the best BPL prof.Yes,he'll make your work extremely hard.But an A is not really a problem in his class.Just make sure you pick a good group or be ready to be in trouble.Got an A this summer and a good number of students got the same.

Best prof. ever! Toughest class ever taken, I was extremely stressed. But I learned so much from Prof. Kurpis. I've never worked this hard for a class before, the projects were a lot of fun, but nerve wreaking, make sure u have great teammates. Very demanding but Prof is a fair grader and sees the effort u put in. I got an A, during summer session

Awesome Professor--the best at Baruch! ANYONE who complains about grades is just a bad student--Kurpis is fair and his class average at the end of the semester was 89!! Plus he is fun and funny. I learned alot!

I think that he is one of the best professors at Barcuh. Although his test are not easy A's he gives tremendous amount of extra credit and if you are determined you can get an A. The class is a lot of fun! Take him

nice guy,attendance is mandatory,he has you discuss a topic online every few weeks(really easy) gives a ton of attempts for extra credit,very intersting class,as well as interaction such as class experiments which were really fun,test were difficult,i would def retake him for another management, great teacher overall, probably best mngmnt in Baruch

I like how he makes the first exam the hardest. Just study your ass off for the first exam and study regularly for the other two. Multiple chances for extra credit and do the blogs. Great professor!

Best professor I've ever had. He has a way of making management exciting since his classes aren't all lectures. One day will be an activity, then the next a lecture, then the next a scavenger hunt, and so on... The first exam is hard, but he makes up for it by allowing the students to design the format of the next one. Really fun class

This professor is definitely one of the best ones at Baruch. First his tests; they are pretty difficult and require a lot of studying but the final is open book! What you learn; you do a lot of different and various activities which teach you so much more than regular lecture. He is extremely engaging and intelligent. Great guy!

Best. Professor. Ever. Take him. Now. You need him.

If you're looking to learn then this is the class for you.However, be forewarned that it will NOT be an easy A class. You really have to WORK for your grade.The professor is available after class if you have more questions and he makes the class interactive & fun.He really listens to students & takes our input into consideration.Highly recommended!

He is the best professor I ever took.... He is willing to help everyone. He makes the class fun and his class activities are really entertaining. Just study for his exams are hard but he gives many extra credits!!!!

Worth every tuition's penny. You will suffer but you will learn a lot. Highly recommended!

This Professor has the experience to teach about management. If you chose to take him you will get your money's worth. He is great at lecturing and always there for his students. One of the most interactive professors at Baruch.

By far one of my favorite classes. The activities are SO much fun! It made me feel like I was taking a class at an IVY League. Don't get me wrong this class is HARD but worth it. Worth every tuition penny.

If you want to learn, this class is a must take. The professor is very smart, nice, and does a great job at keeping the class entertaining and engaging. You will need to study and understand the material - tests are not very easy, but he gives a curve to be fair. Overall, a very fair professor and I definitely recommend him. Got an A.

I absolutely loved everything about this class. No the class is not super easy, but it's definitely worth it. He gives you so many opportunities to get extra credit. He's extremely fair. Do you're discussion boards and just go to class. He made the environment so great that no one ever wanted to miss class. Not only that but it was so interactive.

Prof Kurpis' class is an excellent foundation for management study. You must buy the textbook(or rent at Kindle, cheaper), attendance mandatory. He explains the material with a lot of real life examples. There are chances to earn extra credit but you have to study hard to do well on the exams which are not easy. There was a lot of fun, enjoyable.

The class required wor and he will absolutely make u in love with MGT There is always opportunity for EX credit & you wont get a good grade if you tried to slack. I got a 65 on my first exam but he let us drop the first grade and count the 2nd instead. He is really a wonderful professor that truly helps us learn that will take you further in life

Prof Kurpis is the best college prof i have ever had in my entire student life. He makes everyone engage to the class. the exams are hard but he gives extra credit if you complete his challenging activities. you will learn a lot! and he is a very kind-hearted one. I don't like this class. I LOVE this class!!!

By far the best Prof at Baruch! I feel sorry for those who leave bad comments for Prof Kurpis, he is one of the kindest and most generous Profs I ever had. Will give you the best college experience TAKE HIM!!!

Best professors I've ever had. Professor Kurpis does a good job of mixing lectures, case studies and fun activities. His exams are very hard but he gives out detailed study guides. (note most people in my class failed the first test so study hard.) More than being a great prof. He's a great guy and you can tell he cares about his students - Ish

All I can say is that I went into this class with the attitude that its going to be easy because its a summer class and its the last class at Baruch and it was not.The professor made us work hard but at the end it turned out to be a really great class. The professor is very intelligent and really wants to see everybody succeed. Thank you Professor!

Great professor if you aren't looking for an easy A.(Although, I thought the class was an easy A.) Take his class to learn and enjoy. Plenty of activities to provide an interactive learning experience. If you want a good grade, you will have to actively particpate in class and pay attention to his (life) lessons, with some-to-much effort required.

He is amazing and makes taking a 3 hour Friday class worthwhile! He is one of those professors that puts in a lot of effort and expects the same in return. Don't take him if you want to slack and expect an easy A. He is a Jack Welch manager (literally, he worked under Jack Welch), which explains why he has a more profound style of teaching.

Prof Kurpis runs this bpl class like a good grad school seminar and I loved that. This means the focus is on self direction and the real learning comes from how much you put into the class. This is what education at this point should be. Kurpis is great very available and helpful.

Amazing Professor! I never had a class where I was so excited to go to everyday. Really recommend!

BEST PROFESSOR IN BARUCH.

Kurpis was one of the best professors I've had the pleasure of having during my undergrad years. Now that I'm in grad school, I can honestly say that concepts that I've learned in his class came up time and time again in my career and now, as I am pursuing an advanced degree. If you value your education and future, you will value this class.

An amazing person. Glad i took him

By far the BEST professor I've taken throughout my whole college years! He made management so interesting! He always gives you the chance to improve by giving fun extra credit assignments. Not only did I learn the subject well, but I can also take what I learned and use it through everyday life experiences now and in the future!

Best Professor, you won't regret taking him!

Professor Kurpis changed my view for Management. He combines lectures and fun in-class activities to help his students learn the subject matter. He is generous and gives many extra credit opportunities. Assignments are 7-8 BB postings (analyses to the activities) and three exams. I can tell that he cares for his students through he does not show.

I really think you should take him regardless. Taking class with Professor Kurpis will result in a lifetime leaning experience. Class is very demanding but extremely worth it.. 40% of glo-bus 40% of industry presentation (50-60 mins- Hardest presentation I have ever done but you will really become an expert). He makes me miss school.

Kurpis is one of the best professor at Baruch. He was so good at teaching those concept to students. He did not gave no Homework except discussion board on blackboard. He made learning easy by incorporating activities to make topic easy to understand. Never felt bored going to class always waiting to go to class.I would definitely recommend taking

I took Professor Kurpis about a year an a half ago, but I still remember him. That's how good he is. He's definitely one of the best. I don't think I missed a single class. I looked forward to his classes. His lectures are crystal clear. If you fail, that's because you didn't do the work.

One of the best professor I have yet to meet in Baruch College. His class was entertaining. We had several group activities like scavenger hunt, lego exercise, and many more for extra credit. There is high chance of everyone passing this class. Attendance matters. His slides are better than the book and the exams are mostly from the slides.

Kurpis is a legend. He is inspirational, knowledgeable and brings executive experience to the classroom. Although it may seem his course is challenging he works with you to achieve the desired end goal which you can directly implement to your career to stand out from the rest. Take him for he is the best professor you'll ever have in your life.

Kurpis's class is very challenging, a lot of work but truly rewarding. Engaging classes. He can be a harsh grader, but clear with the criteria. He is very reasonable, fair & friendly. Your grade is determined by many factors. Overall, 1 of the best professors I've had. His class truly rounds any business major. You'll learn to appreciate it all.

The teacher is great, lectures are interesting, lecture style is better than 80% of Baruch's teachers. There is a case study almost every class, but its easy and each one is divided into the groups. One paper for your case study, two presentations, a midterm & final and Globus. I took in the summer. Participation weighed my grade down since I dont.

Professor Kurpis is nice. He is the kind of professor that would care about his students' feeling. He graded everyone fairly. But be prepared for a lot of reading and presentations.

This was an amazing class. Professor Kurpis takes the time to explain all the material and what is expected of you to do well. He has an amazing background in the business world and I enjoyed his stories. He is also a really nice guy and spent as much time as I needed after class to explain things when I asked him to.

Definitely one of the most interesting classes I took at Baruch. Balancing work and school was hard, but his teaching and case studies were really helpful as I navigate the corporate world. I appreciate that he is really from a business background and not just a textbook teacher. I would love to have him in grad school.

Was a little worried about this class in the beginning but once we got into it, really enjoyed it! A lot of reading, but he spaced it out & it prepared us for assignments. He graded fair & was always willing to discuss my grade/progress. I used him after the course for a recommendation & he gave me a great one - helped me get into grad school!

I thought this class was very straightforward. From Day 1, his expectations were clear. He told a lot of stories from his time at NBC which was relevant to the coursework. Definitely recommend him, a lot more interesting than many of my other Baruch Professors.

Kurpis is by far the best professor I had at Baruch. He does assign work but gives you feedback and it is actually helpful and applicable to real-world work assignments. the low ratings he receives are from students who expect to get easy A's, don't put in any work, and then receive what they deserve. I highly recommend taking him

Professor Kurpis is amazing. One of the best professors I've met at Baruch. He genuinely cares about his students and his class is so fun and intriguing that you can't wait to GO to class. We had a scavenger hunt on the first day! You definitely need to put in the work but it is SO worth it. I promise you. I learned so much from his class Take him!

Professor Kurpis is one of the best professors at Baruch. Is he easy? Absolutely not, but he makes you work hard for your grade. Nevertheless, the work is very satisfying and actually does a great job preparing you for the workforce. Professor Kurpis himself has a ton of industry experience and really knows his stuff!

I can't say his class is easy, but you get many chances to earn a good grade. End of the semester, you will feel you actually accomplished something great. By far, the best professor in Baruch

Professor Kurpis is the man. The tests are a little difficult but definitely fair and all assignments are manageable. Participation really matters in this class and its almost entirely a class discussion.

I get paranoid whenever I see someone review saying this is the best professor. BUT. Professor Kurpis is REALLY the best professor. His teaching style is very easy to comprehend. He doesn't do lecture style. He actually makes you do activity to understand the topic. He gives tons of extra credit points for midterm and final. Try your best to pass.

This is not an easy A at all, I had to work for it. There's a lot of case studies to read, and you NEED to participate every class (Don't skip!). If he sees you put the effort and time into it, he will reflect that in your grade to your benefit. Tricky midterm, 7 case studies (counts top 4), final exam with simulation. He may curve, no guarantees.

Love him! Brings real world experience to the classroom. He creates an environment where students really learn from him and others. 25% of grade is participation so speak up! Tough grader but it's grad school so understandable. Only allows 4 absences total - strict about it. Would take him again anytime. Really enjoyable and stimulating class.

Great class, learnt a lot, tho not for everyone: real MBA-level / requires critical thinking. Must participate in class. Highly subjective topic but even if you disagree with him, as long as you justify your thinking, prof Kurpis gives a good grade. Lots of HBR reading (required bc tested on all of them). All in all, loved the class & prof Kurpis.

Professor Kurpis is a fantastic professor. Tons of real world experience. Do the readings, and be prepared to talk about them. If you show that you care, he will reflect it in your grade.

Great Prof. that provides good insight into corporate strategy. Very valuable class. Mostly HBR readings/case studies and 4-5 papers (case analysis). Read the material, participate in class, show effort and you'll get a good grade. Very tough midterm, study and understand how to apply the material. Outside of the midterm, he grades on effort.

Love this Professor! Instead of blindly reading PPT slides, he guided us to understand the concepts through class discussions (Make sure you participate as it counts toward 25% of your grade). He encourages everyone to express themselves and respect all opinions. Midterm was tricky but he curved and gave out extra credits.

He's a pretty easy and reasonable teacher. He gives curves, so even if you don't do amazing on the tests you still can do well. The class average was a B+, but most of my friends in the class I knew who showed up all got A's.

This is my last semester, I did not intend to enroll in a BPL5100H because it is usually challenging. However, I enrolled too late. It turned out awesome. Even though you have to work, but you probably enjoy it. Especially, you learn a lot from it. This is my last semester at Baruch and in my opinion, he is the best professor at Baruch so far.

The class can be pretty intimidating in the beginning but its definitely worth it. Four homework write ups with the option to hand in a fifth if you dont do well on one of the four, a midterm, a final, and participation. Each is worth 25%. Professor Kurpis is very nice, lectures are very interesting. Take him if you can!

One of the best professors I've had at Baruch. Very personable, teaches loads of valuable information. It is not an easy A, and his midterm is surprisingly challenging. I recommend anyone studying at Baruch to have him at least once.

Best professor I've had hands down in my entire undergrad and grad career.

There are a lot of work for this class. however you will be amazed how much more work prof Kurpis did just for preparing the class from his extensive industry experience (he co-founded CNBC) and extensive knowledge. Many pre-recorded lectures and the zoom class is filled with lots of discussion and feedbacks.

The readings were helpful and interesting for knowledge. Assigned readings each week takes hours. Very time consuming if you have 3 other classes + job. Participation and discussions on Blackboard matters. Make sure you pace your assigned work and don't wait to do them last minute. Very challenging course and not easy but useful to apply.

Prof. Kurpis is one of the best professors I've had at Baruch. Def had to work hard in this class (lots of weekly readings, 3 2pp single spaced case studies, a midterm and a final - but he gave options for the final). Participation matters a lot, so it was frustrating sometimes waiting in "line" on zoom to speak for a while it was a great class.

Took this over the summer. You need to do 3 of 5 case analyses but if you do badly in one of them you can do a fourth case to replace the lowest grade. The midterm was tricky but he gives a review sheet. Just focus only on what's on the sheet. He gives you an option for the final. You focus on the readings and his lectures, you'll be fine

Ed is a great professor in the field of strategy, management, and competitive advantage. Highly recommend taking his class(es); you'll work hard but it'll be worth it.

His midterm was tough and he gives a lot of readings along with 3 mandatory case study assignments. Participation is mandatory, which can be frustrating over zoom. But overall, his course was very interesting and I learned a lot. I would absolutely take again and highly recommend for anyone needing to take this course!

Professor Kurpis really cares about his students. He is enthusiastic about the class and gives a lot of extra credit. Participation is 25% of grade, 5 essays (only 3 are mandatory) a midterm and final at 25% each. You can choose to write an essay or take a multiple choice exam for tests. Lots of hw and reading. But overall really great prof & class

So insightful. Incredible lectures, so worth your time and tuition. I learned so much about strategic management, scanning, analysis, and how business should be run. I wish he taught more classes, I'd take them in a heartbeat.

Professor Kurpis is amazing! The class is very heavy on readings and class participation but I learned so much and if you do the work, you'll get a good grade. Very knowledgeable and inspirational professor who genuinely cares about his students, and a very fast grader. If you have the opportunity to take him, don't hesitate.

Before this class, I thought "synergy" was just the name of a sports drink, but you should have seen the look on the interviewer's face when I dropped it mid-conversation. Make sure to READ EVERYTHING and PARTICIPATE CONSTANTLY. This class is not easy, but it will teach you things that you will really use throughout your career.

A legend. Extremely knowledgable in strategy and analyzing companies and situations. Mentioned his life experience and is so talented and humble. I would take any class this man taught. If he had a podcast, I'd listen to it like a religion. Extremely clear thinker and great communicator.

I'm sure you don't need my review to get that Prof Kurpis is amazing. Fun lectures every week. Occasional hands-on group activity. Drops lowest test grade out of 3. Last test was open note. 5 group progress reports. Gives great feedback to help for your final presentation & report. Very fair class for BPL.

He is the best professor I took for the evening MBA program. He is nice and knows his material. You can really learn from him. He is very respectful and like students' discussion. 3 out of 5 case study, one midterm, one final, one simulation. I will recommend him

GET READY TO WORK! A lot of work but definitely worth it. Very knowledgeable in his field. He is a very nice man and cares about the subject. However, he is certainly nitpicky in his grading. In his assignments, he is usually looking for specific responses so make sure to include those. He LOVES participation. He gives very good feedback.

I took the honor section. He tries his best to give us all As. You have to study his ppt for the exams, some questions can be a bit tricky just read them carefully. The final project is an accumuation of progress reports we had to work on in groups and at the end we have to give a consulting presentation on it. I would take him again.

I'll preface by saying that there are other BPL profs that are easier, however, for honors section profs, I really enjoyed Prof. Kurpis. He's an extremely smart guy. makes the class very engaging, and really does want everyone to get an A in the class. His quizzes are pretty difficult and are based on the textbook, but I enjoyed the class overall

The professor is brilliant and engaging, though the course load can be heavy. Incorporating Unstuck ai into study prep really helped me ace the tricky exams. Overall, a rewarding class.
