Okay professor, he tends to grade things slow and even say one thing and do another. He is fair, but my interest for the subject went down after this course. The text was not that great either, but I think this is the last section using the book.
No Comments
lot of work to do. No down time
Extremely slow to grade and give feedback.
Teacher will make you work for your grade. Good luck on getting an A. The class was ambiguous at first but after the midterm it was clear on his test requirements. More is better for the essay questions make sure you write at least 2 pages/question. Good class
This class is a lot of work, but very interesting! Professor was great and expectations were appropriate for graduate level course. Will definitely take class with him again!
Very difficult and demanding. He wants you to right a 2-3 page paper summarizing each chapter of the book for "home work". That 23 papers before you do any course work. An insane workload.
Heavy work load and unclear exactly what He's looking for. I was enrolled for two classes and found out the second was with him also so I dropped it. Very slow to grade so did not know where I stood. Likes a lot of un-needed writing.
Great class. Very engaging. Likes to offer suggestions on how to apply theory.
Best professor I've had online. He is tough and demands lots of work, but I will tell you, after you are done with his course you are pretty prepared to apply what you learn in the real world. A very atypical professor. More like a business colleague.
Excellent Prof. He's a real practitioner who doesn't teach from the ivory tower and from a textbook. He teaches from the board room and gives real-world ideas and solutions to business problems. I'm going to take him again in one of this other classes. The best APUS instructor I've had so far.
Little interaction. Not easy to communicate with. Little interaction in classroom. Slow grading. Little to no feedback on assignments. Not very helpful. Immense workload. Seems to be overloaded teaching about 18 sections at once.
Heavy work load and slow to grade and respond to emails. Numerous times I had to email him for clarity on what he was looking for in projects that were due. 2-3 pg ch outlines seemed a little much, but effective in getting the main learning points accrossed.
He grades really slow, up to a week overdue sometimes. His feedback is generic and cryptic and he tends to get offended if you don't do exactly what he is looking for. I had at least one reference for each of my answers once and he said I needed to delve more into the research.
If you can skip this professor, I suggest it. He is slow to grade and gives a lot of excuses as to why the grades are not done yet. His instructions are not clear.
GREAT INSTRUCTOR! As long as you ask when you have a question. He is a little slow to respond but he usually does well and will help in any way that he can. The topics he covers are great and interesting. I have taken 3 courses from this instructor and I wish I could take him to the next class, but I can't. His classes are by no means easy.
Very disappointing. Highly inconsistent in his approach and often 2-3 weeks slow in grading. Got 3 weeks behind in responding to forums discussions, making the interaction worthless. Learned more from felow students. Lots of apologies for delays, but clearly over extended. Will avoid if possible.
My new goal in life is to avoid this professor. His expectation of "graduate quality work" on mid-term and final exams is to write pages of research in response to vague, one line questions that he pulled from a textbook test bank. I had a 4.0 GPA (50%+ through my MBA program) prior to being subjected to Dr. Sakiewicz's grading criteria from hell.
Didn't find him to be that hard at all. Wasn't a push over, but by no means was he that hard. A little slow grading, but was very fair in the db's and assignments.
Definitely requires graduate level work and answers. Use journals and real life examples (businesses) in posts and assignments. If you think your answers are too short, it's b/c they are (especially on the exams)! And he will doc you for it! He told me he doesn't like giving 100's, just fyi.
Dr. S. is an exceptional Prof who teaches not from the Ivory Tower, but from a real-world practical business standpoint. He treats students more like business colleagues versus subordinate students. He is very demanding, but that's what makes us better prepared. Always willing to work with you on issues whether personal, professional or academic.
Dr. Sakiewicz is an extremely experienced professional and teaches from a practitioner approach coaching and mentoring students, versus just espousing theory and text book teaching like typical academics. Has to be on of the best instructors I've ever had.
As long as you meet assignment and forum requirements, it's an easy A. Don't try to short change the length of your forums, assignments, or tests though...length is pretty much key in this course.
Dr. S. is an exceptional prof because he integrates his diverse experience as a businessman and entrepreneur into the class. He takes the time to really help you translate any theory into practice. The best instructor I've had at my university hands down!
Dr. Sakiewicz is a very good professor. He cares very much and was very understanding, very professional and always accessible. He was very active in class discussion and extremely knowledgeable in the course material. He shared so many real world experiences ( successes and failures) that taught me more than any textbook, theory ever has.
I was skeptical about taking this class with him per the reviews however it went well. Passed the class with an A and feel I learned. One of his things is backing up your work "references" even on forum posts. He will mention this to you and if you comply you will not have a problem. I recommend him. Good Luck!
This guy is amazing! Very fair, keeps things interesting and is a realist! If I could take every course with him I would!!
Dr. S. is an amazing teacher and mentor. He's not the typical academic and certainly not the typical professor. I loved learning from him because he gave me real stuff I could use at my job that directly added to my work performance. He was not full of all the academic gobbledygook you get in most universities. He practices what he preaches.
Very good professor. Had lots of real-world experience to learn from. Taught the course from a professional business man's standpoint, versus the typical ivory-tower academic who never ran or operated a business. He's pretty strict though on the academic side of things too, but very realist and a great communicator and customer-service oriented.
Dr. Sakiewicz (a/k/a Dr. Soccer) was an amazing instructor. He really taught me stuff I could use in the sports industry that I work. His experience and real life lessons and instruction helped me apply what I learned immediately and actually helped me get a promotion. Dr. Sakiewicz is highly recommended!
Dr. S is ok. Unless you are responding to his questions he won't email you back. Don't plan on going to him for help or questions. He takes a VERY LONG TIME to reply, if he ever even does. Grades pretty lenient, but you are basically teaching yourself. If you don't care about instructor interaction he's not bad.
Dr. Sakiewicz is not the typical professor who teaches from the ivory tower. He establishes a mentor/coach/colleague environment where he helps guide you through real world learning taking any theory and teaching students how to apply their learning in their careers. He's very attentive and always accessible. Highly recommended!
Dr. Sakiewicz is not the usual college professor. He's a successful businessman and entrepreneur that teaches material tha can be effectively used in your business career or job. He not only teaches, but mentors and coaches like a real role model in business. Priceless!
Arrogant! It is BS 101 he gives essay tests as if it is a Master's. Hard to know where you are as he grades so slow. This experience left me wanting to change schools.
Dr. S. is an awesome! He is unlike the typical teacher who teach from the top-down. Dr. S. puts treats his students as if you are a colleague. He really treats you with respect. I have to laugh at some students who give him a bad score on this forum because as anyone knows, it's the lazy students who whine and don't want to work hard to learn.
Dr. Sakiewicz was one of the best professors I've had at APUS since I started my program in 2013. He provides great business information that is relevant and current whereby students can use in their careers. He uses a good textbook, but likes to really drive home practical, real-world cases. He's a very successful entrepreneur and it shows.
I had Dr. S. recently for a doctoral class at another school, Argosy Univ and I have to say, he is just O.K. at best. Feedback is meaningless and he is a tough grader. I have not received full discussion points on any discussion since the beginning of the term and I write my discussions directly from "rubric to paper." I would not take him again
Dr. Sakiewicz is an excellent doctoral level instructor. He teaches from an applications-based model where we are truly trained how to master our material and subject matter. One of the best professors I've had at Argosy U.
Dr. S. (aka Dr. Biz) was excellent. One of the best profs I've had at APU. Before taking this course, I really didn't think much of entrepreneurship or starting my own business. Well, now I'm going to thanks to Dr. S. and his inspiration, encouragement and sage advice. If you have a chance, I recommend you taking any of his courses.
Of all the graduate MBA courses I have taken, Dr. S. ranks amongst the Top 5 Best instructors I've had at any school. He is a mentor first, business coach second, and academic third. He is atypical of the academicians out there. He's the real deal! An inspiring leader, trainer and entrepreneur, not a stuffy professor. A class act! Pardon the pun!
Dr. S. is an excellent professor. I learned so much from him from a practical "real-world" standpoint. He shared many of his successes and challenges in starting and planning businesses, and tied it very well into the course material. He enables each of us to work on our own strategic plan that benefited our careers. Dr. S. is great!!!
Dr. Sakiewicz has to be one of the top professors at AMU. Knowing that he had real experience starting and running nonprofits, he let us apply what we learned from the course in our businesses. It was a great class and he really cares to help mentor and teach you from a true business perspective. He's not the typical stuffy academic.
Dr. S. is an incredible instructor. He has a great business mind and offers such innovative solutions to problems. You can tell he is in it to help students become business professionals versus academic professionals. It's what I pay the money to achieve. Dr. S. has met and exceeded all my expectations. I wish all professors at APUS were like him.
Dr. S. is by far one of the best professors at APUS. He is a real teacher and mentor. You can ask him anything about business and career, and he'll be there for you. He gives great insight and recommendations. He has a great business mind, he genuinely cares, and is honest, yet very serious about the subject matter he teaches. Highly recommended!
This professor is terribly slow when it comes to grading and feedback. His class was my only A- (I previously had a 4.0). While I must take some of the blame for this grade, I would have performed better with quicker feedback. I was unable to make adjustments after each week due to ridiculously slow grading.
Dr. Sakiewicz was an amazing instructor. He cared a great deal about my success and was always willing to work with me when I had challenges, personally and in class. I think Dr. S. is one of the best professors at AMU and because he is a successful businessman and entrepreneur, he helped me truly understand how to apply what I learned at my job.
Dr. S. was a pleasure to have as an instructor. He is always very accommodating and willing to help. He returns emails very promptly and really cares about student success. What I like best about him is that he teaches us how to apply what we learn in our jobs, which I find refreshing and relevant. I highly recommend Dr. S. He's outstanding!
Well, I have to say this is one professor at this school that truly knows his stuff. He is a very accomplished entrepreneur and has the heart of a true teacher and mentor and really cares. Dr. S. is far from being a stuffy academic, but teaches like a CEO. If you want to be trained in starting and running a real business, this is the guy for you.
Dr. Sakiewicz is one of the best professors I have had at APUS. He is always there for you and responds quickly to emails and questions. He really cares for your success and he teaches from a practitioner's perspective. He likes to bring his real-world experiences into the classroom and mentor you. I highly recommend him. 2 thumbs up!
Dr. S. is an excellent professor. He's always accessible and responds to questions and concerns quickly. He also understands the nature of busy working adults students and has great empathy. Dr. S. was always willing to work with me and taught me a great deal about business planning. He's incredibly gifted instructor and teacher. He's awesome!!!
Dr. Sakiewicz is a brilliant teacher. He really cares about your success. He also cares to genuinely develop a professional relationship with you and never hesitates to take the additional time to mentor you over and above the course materials. He's without a doubt one of the best professors as APU. I highly recommend Dr. S. He's top notch.
Dr. Sakiewicz is a very effective instructor. He's pretty tough and demands a lot, but at the end of the day if you do what he requests, you'll not only get a good grade, but more importantly learn a great deal about the subject matter. Dr. S. is very professional and treats you more like a colleague than a student. Loved his teaching style.
Of all the professors I've taken at AMU and other universities, Dr. S. is among the very best and probably my most favorite. He's very professional and has a true teacher's heart, but just as important, he's always willing to help mentor you. He's not easy and makes you work hard, but in the end, you really come away with knowledge. SUPER PROF!
Well I have to say that Dr. S. was very refreshing to say the least. Instead of the typical academic, he takes on a more business-like, professional tone in class. It was like I was speaking with my hired consultant to help my company succeed. He actually advised me on what I needed to know and eliminated the academic fluff and nonsense. Awesome!
Dr. Sakiewicz is a very good professor. I've had fellow classmates drop his class because he makes you work for it and holds you accountable to produce, just like any boss or CEO would in the real world. I have to laugh at those students who expect this degree program to be easy. Dr. S. is the real deal. I've learned so much from him.
Dr. S. is not your typical professor. He's far from it. He's a business leader who knows how to coach and train you to be the same. He eliminates all the academic nonsense and teaches you how to problem solve, execute and move theory into practice. Dr. S. is worth every penny. Highly recommended excellent professor.
No doubt the best professor I've had at AMU. Focuses on teaching business, not academic nonsense. Very accessible and willing to always help. Is very understanding to adult student needs and schedules. Especially us active duty military. He honors and respects us soldiers. I really appreciated Dr. Sakiewicz. He's awesome and a real pro!
Dr. Sakiewicz is excellent! His assignments are clear and straight-forward and he provides great feedback. There is a lot of reading and research required, but I learned a lot. It was all business-relevant stuff. Dr. S responded to my questions quickly and was always willing to help and there for me. hands down, one of the best professors at APU!
Very good class. However, Professor Sakiewicz is very slow to grade!
This was my very first Master's class with AMU. Dr. S was amazing. There was no tests nor quizzes. Expect a 3-5 page paper due each week and on week 8 a 15 page paper. He is a great teacher and would take him over again!
All I can say is that Dr. S. is by far the best professor at AMU. He's not only extremely smart and credentialed in his subject matter area, he's experienced in industry. Being able to learn from a doer is so much better that just learning from a scholar and a textbook. Dr. S. is the real deal and he's a "must-take" of you're at APUS.
No doubt in my mind the best professor at AMU. I'm nearly done with my degree and I have to say that Dr. S. was amazing. He was always there for me and made me work hard, but coached me through things very well. He is always accessible. Always willing to listen and help. And always willing to serve his students. Dr. S. is excellent. Take him!
Dr. S is a great professor. The class requires weekly research, reading and writing assignments. Get ready to write a lot! Gives good feedback, cares about the students, grades fairly, and has clear grading guidelines, responds to questions quickly.
I must say is that I got my money's worth! Dr. Ed is by far one of the most well-qualified instructors at APU that I have had. He does not teach from the proverbial Ivory Tower, but he really works hard to mentor you, and to espouse real-world learning that we can apply at our work. He genuinely cares about training and coaching students. GREAT!!!!
Yes, there is a lot of writing. However you will learn the importance of researching your information. I really enjoyed how he pointed out important aspects and graded our papers with intellectual feedback. My writing improved tremendously in this class. I also have been able to use this foundation course in many other classes and forums.
Dr. S. was the best instructor I've had at AMU out of all my classes (3 left until I graduate). I learned more from him than all the other professors combined. He really cares about his students and delivers real-world information. He offers relevant industry data and teaches like a business coach and mentor, not a stuffy academic. TOP FLIGHT DOC!
Dr. Sakiewicz is a fantastic instructor. Probably amongst the best I have had at this institution. He teaches like a businessman and not a typical professor from the ivory tower. He's real and very honest and encourages students to step outside the academic box and take what we learn and really apply it in our jobs or personal life. Kudos to Dr. S!
Dr. S is a great example of how professors should engage and teach their students. He provides good feedback and participates within the discussions. He is highly knowledgeable about entrepreneurship and his interaction caused me to think beyond the text. I really enjoyed his class!
Dr. Sakiewicz is the best business professor at AMU. He's very good at what he does. He's unlike all the typical academics. He teaches like a businessman and is always available for help. He has a very diverse background. Highly recommended instructor. First class Prof!
As a first time Graduate student at APUS, Dr. Sakiewicz was extremely proactive and helpful during my turbulent transition on-line. I had several obstacles and had to call Dr. Sakiewicz on his cell phone to explain my dilemma and he is "Awesome," and very knowledgeable in the area of Business Management. Highly recommend any first time student!
Dr. S was a refreshing surprise. What I love most about him is that he's a very succesful entrepreneur. He treats his students like colleagues unlike most stuffy professors do who make their students feel inferior to them. Dr. S. is uplifting, inspiring, motivating, actively engaged, and most of all he cares and knows his stuff. Top notch Prof!!!
Dr. S. is the best professor I have had in my program. This is the 2nd course with him. The first was Entrepreneurship, and I must say that I really learned a ton, and have successfully applied my learning in my business successfully. Dr. S. is an excellent instructor and teaches with a servant's heart, and is always willing to help and mentor.
I must say, Dr. S. was hands-down the most interactive professor I've had. I look forward to taking another class with a teacher with such a high regard for his student's success. His enthusiasm for what he does in entrepreneurship and how he mentors is how all of today's business professors should perform. Dr. S. is a class act. Pardon the pun.
Dr. Sakiewicz is an incredible professor. The best I've had at AMU. He totally gets it! He understands what it means to be a working professional. He has the heart of a teacher and walks his talk. He teaches how to apply our learning. Dr. S. is top notch! I highly recommend you take him.
Dr. S. is an incredible instructor. I believe he is one of the best at the university, an in the school of business. He really cares about his students and he treated my challenges with high regard and was willing to work with me. He understood the challenge of work and life balance and taught me a great deal on how to become an entrepreneur.
Dr. Sakiewicz is a shining example of what a mentor and coach should be. He is so not the typical stuffy know-it-all in-the-box professor. Dr. S. is not an academic, but a real educator with real life experience who teaches with a servant leader's heart. He's inspired me to become an entrepreneur like him. Thank you Dr. Biz! ;-)
I've never enjoyed and learned from a professor as I have with Dr. S. He brought all his experience into the course teaching real-world stuff. He's the best business prof I've ever seen. Furthermore, being able to talk to him and gain advice outside the classroom is amazing. Dr. S. imspired me to pursue my dream of being my own boss. He's awesome!
All I have to say is WOW! If you have not taken this professor, you MUST! Dr. Sakiewicz is an amazing teacher. He teaches you how to conduct real business. Dr. S. is accesable and supportive and will take the time to get to know you and help you in your career as far as showing you how to apply what you've learned t your job. A real winner!
Dr. Sakiewicz is the best professor I have had at AMU. His teaching style is incredible. He teaches from a servant leader's perspective, both coaching and mentoring you along the way. His biggest strength is that he listens, cares about your success, and teaches you how to apply what you have learned in the real world. Dr. S. is TOP NOTCH!
In my opinion, Dr. Ed was the most active, engaged and responsive professor I've ever had at AMU. He genuinely cared about my success and that of my other classmates. I learned a great deal about strategic planning and am now applying it at work very successfully. I highly recommend Dr. Ed! Truly the best at AMU!! Take him!
I would take any class he teaches, 2 PowerPoint 1st week and last week, each week a discussion post and a written assignment. No quizzes or test. He grades very fair and fast great feedback just do the work and you will get a A. TAKE HIS CLASS I LEARNED A LOT!
Dr. S. is an amazing professor. Probably the best one I've had in my academic career. He is well-respected, very accessible and cares about his students. He is always willing to work with you and has a servant leader's heart. There is nothing like having a credentialed professor who is also a highly successful practitioner and entrepreneur.
Dr. S is a good teacher. Fair and quickly graded all assignments. The work was hard as long as you kept up.
Dr. Sakiewicz is incredible! Probably the best teacher I've had in my MBA program at this institution, and others. Dr. S. is like a professional mentor, coach, trainer and consultant, rather than a typical one-dimensional academic. He's got real-world experience and shows us how to apply the subject matter we learn at our job. The Best-of-the-Best!
Dr. Ed was an amazing instructor. He was always available and really cared about my success and that of my fellow classmates. Dr. Ed is not a typical college professor. He is more like a business mentor and coach. He really brings the real world into his class and challenges us to problem solve and experience real life business experiences. GREAT!
Participation matters! Follow the rubric to the T, it's a guaranteed A!
Dr S is amazing and the best teacher Ive had so far at AMU. Hes a mentor, educator, and entrepreneur. He shares all he knows with his students to help us follow our dreams and offers advice. Hes the only teacher who has every given email, cell, and LinkedIn. I was given career advice too which helped me to decide my degree path now. The best!
After reading the rest of the reviews on here prior to signing up - I was completely disappointed and let down by Dr. S. Late grading (about two weeks later in some cases), poorly written/explained assignments, due dates a mess, all announcements were posted on the first week of class and not even in any order - just all jumbled together, etc.
I have to say that Dr. S. has been one of the most hands-on and responsive professors during my studies at AMU. I really appreciate all of the advice he gave and I look forward to continuing to learn from him as I take more courses with him. The time, care and attention that he gave me made this class refreshing and enjoyable to me! Dr. S. rocks!!
I read the 2nd response below from a fellow classmate that gave Dr. S. a poor score and I have to say they are totally incorrect. I can only assume they are a weak student who doesn't like to work hard. This class was amazing. Well-organized and engaging. Dr. S. is magnificent. A real professional real-world businessman and effective professor.
All I have to say is REAL-WORLD! Unlike typical stuffy professors out there who think they know it all and teach from the proverbial ivory tower, Dr. S. is humble, extremely confident, knowledgable, and a real hands-on instructor. To top it all off, he's a very successful businessman, a good family man, well-respected in his community and a mentor.
Even though I really struggled in this class, I was still able to learn a great deal from Dr. S. He was always willing to answer my confusing and lost questions and was always eager to inspire and encourage me to keep going. He actually treated me more like a colleague than a student. This professor is amazing and I will be taking him again!
If you are a current business owner or an aspiring entrepreneur, I highly recommend Dr. Sakiewicz out of all the professors at APU. Dr. S. is without a doubt the best choice if you want to learn real-world concepts, ideas, and ways to effectively apply them. While he has his Ph.D. in Entrepreneurship, he also has many successful businesses.
This course could have ended in disaster had it not been for Dr. S. I overlooked an assignment. Not only was Dr. S. very professional, but he showed genuine concern and understanding. He worked after hours and coordinated a fairly late night with me to ensure I was able to complete my requirements. I cannot express how grateful I am for the help.
The prof did not go into detail about why I got the grade that I did. I tried to follow the rubric to get a 5 (the highest grade possible), and still ended up with mid to low B's. I emailed him and asked him about it and he was not very friendly about explaining. I will never take his class again.
If you want a professor that teaches real stuff that you can apply, especially as an aspiring entrepreneur like me, you must take him. I have had no other professors in my entire academic career like him. He is tough but he really cares about helping you advance better knowledge in making your career better. He is more of a mentor and a colleague.
Dr. S. is by far the best professor I've had at AMU. He not only cares about students and their success, but is very accessible for advice. He makes you earn you A and won't accept lame excuses. Dr. S. highly respects our military like myself, and it is a privilege to have him as my instructor. I highly recommend him and will take him again.
Dr. S. is amazing! He helped me identify emerging business trends, innovations and different levers and trade-offs of the entrepreneurial decision-making process. He makes students think like an entrepreneur, not an academician or a student. He's the real deal! Real-world! I'm ready to be a business owner! Thanks, Dr. Sakiewicz! :-D
I learned a great deal from Dr. Sakiewicz and his entrepreneurial teaching, guidance, and mentorship. I am better prepared and equipped to launch my business. He even told me that he is always there for me if I need additional insight and guidance in the future. Dr. S. is by far, one of the best professors at AMU/APU. THANK YOU, DR. BIZ! ;-)
It still amazes me why any student would give Dr. S. a poor rating. This is the 3rd time I have taken him. I had him once in my undergraduate work and twice in my master's work and I can say without hesitation he is among the top professors at APUS. He has the heart of a teacher but teaches more like a mentor and a colleague. A real professional!
The first class I have taken that felt like a Masters level course. Prof. Sakiewicz expects and promotes quality participation in the forum and on all assignments. If you do the minimum, your grade will reflect it. He provides feedback you can use to improve your products and work but he will expect you to do your part in learning.
The best part of this course was Dr. S. He was always quick to answer any of my questions and he was extremely active in our discussion forums and his grading and feedback were very fair. Dr. S. is very encouraging and makes his students feel more like peers or colleagues in business. I now feel more prepared than ever in my degree and career.
Dr. S. was incredible! This is really the first graduate course where I actually learned how to apply my new knowledge in my field. As a young entrepreneur starting up my new company, Dr. S. gave me an incredible toolbox filled with great tools to use. My business is now taking off great and Dr. S.' experience and advice is off-the-charts good!
Dr. S. is a great instructor! He was very patient with me as I transition back into school after being out for a long time. Learning the APA 6th style of writing was tough, but Dr. S. gave me useful tools, example papers, and templates, and was specific in his feedback. I am now totally proficient in APA. Dr. S.' teaching is real-world relevant!
All I can say is, WOW! Dr. S. has to be one of the best professors I have had at APUS. Not only does he have a teacher's heart, but he mentors you and makes you work for it and challenges you to apply what you've learned. He went over and above merely teaching "fundamentals" of entrepreneurship, he provided incredible real-world resources.
8 Forums 275 word discussion and 150 word reply, no test or final just 7 assignments due each week containing either a paper, PowerPoint or Essay, very easy to manage. Grades fair and fast gives great feedback just use references on discussions and assignments and you will be fine. Take the course you will learn a lot and should pass with an A!
Dr. S. delivers a great entry-level entrepreneurship course. While there is quite a bit of reading, there is an engaging discussion component. I got more learning out of that type of course than what you find in a static boring test-driven course. Dr. S. mixes it up with awesome real-world information and training. Dr. S. is the consummate pro!
I wouldn't recommend this professor. Lots of canned forum responses/questions, some copied from the Web. He's fairly quick to respond to emails but I suspect someone else is doing his grading, someone who is also phoning it in. At least one student was blatantly plagiarizing but the issue was never addressed.
Dr. Sakiewicz is an amazing Professor and probably THE best instructor I have had at any level of my academic career. He is an incredibly experienced business leader and entrepreneur as well as a well-respected academician. He was very responsive to all my questions and challenges and helped me succeed in his class. I highly recommend Dr. S.!
I am a student at American Military University and my experience with Dr. S. was incredible. There are a lot of written assignments required, but they are very applicable to learning entrepreneurship. I learned a great deal from him. His discussion engagement is the best I have seen at AMU. Take him if you can! He's one of the best there!
Great class, and instructor is very involved
All I can say is, WOW! While Dr. S. was pretty tough, he made it fun and enjoyable. He is definitely not the typical professor from the proverbial Ivory Tower, but a real entrepreneur who knows how to teach, coach and mentor. There is nothing better than applying what you learn immediately and Dr. S. offers that! I highly recommend Dr. S. at APUS!
Dr. S. is without question, THE BEST instructor I have had during my time at AMU. He is demanding and expects quality graduate work. He also requires frequent and substantive participation in the discussion forums which is great as that is where I learned the most and was able to apply the most at my job. TAKE DR. S. !! 2 THUMBS UP FOR DR. S.!!
Dr. S. is a great instructor. This is my 2nd time taking him. I was impressed, yet again with his abilities to teach, coach and mentor me in the discipline of small business/entrepreneurship. I was able to develop a business plan for my company that yielded high-interest from investors that ultimately launched my company successfully. TY Dr. S.!!!
Very Poor communication. Syllabus and assignments are not clear. When asked a simple question on format- he took a week to respond to his class and stated LADIES & GENTLEMEN! I am not sure why this is so difficult to understand. The assignment clearly instructs as follow-RUDE! Harsh grader. He wants you to triple min requirements for full credit.
Dr. Sakiewicz is an exceptional instructor. He is very accessible and communicated well. This class taught me a great deal of how to manage a nonprofit charity. Dr. S. shared many of his experiences from his nonprofits that he leads. I highly recommend Dr. S. He's great!
Dr. S. is a very smart and experienced instructor! He always went out of his way to help me and responded to me within 24 hours. His proactive communication and presence in the discussion forums were very thought-provoking and inspirational. I learned a great deal and highly recommend taking Dr. Sakiewicz. He teaches several great graduate courses.
Even though I only scored a B- in this class, Dr. S. was a very caring and involved instructor! I cannot blame anyone else but myself for the grade I received and I accept it because it was fair and justified. Dr. S. is amazing! He ALWAYS responded to me with 24 hours and truly guided me through the course amidst my issues. He is an amazing Prof!
Dr. S. is just a handful of Profs at APUS that truly cares. He was very involved in every student's success. He literally taught me how to excel in school and at my job. I received a promotion because of his advice and expertise and I know the reason why. Dr. S. is not only a credentialed academic but a seasoned professional in his field.
Dr. Ed is incredible! One of the best, if not THE BEST instructors I have had at APUS. He delivers a remarkable real-world curriculum that has enabled me to immediately improve my businesses and has made me a much wiser and savvy entrepreneur and businessman. Don't hesitate to take him! I will be taking other courses that he teaches. Thanks Dr. Ed!
What more can say about Dr. Sakiewicz, other than he is the best professor I have had in my entire academic career spanning three universities. He is solid! Very approachable and he treats you like a business colleague. Top-notch professional! Take him if you can!! You WILL NOT be disappointed and you'll learn a great deal.
If all Profs can be as good as Dr. Sakiewicz, I think more universities would produce better-prepared students for real-world success. Dr. S. was amazing and I can't wait to take him again. He is very engaging and involved. He is always available for consultation and is even accessible via cell. He is inspiring and cares. Thanks Dr. S.!! :-D
Dr. Sakiewicz is a great professor! He cares about his students' success. He provides excellent communication and feedback. He is always accessible and responds very quickly. He is very engaging in classroom discussion while providing real-world information. As a successful entrepreneur, Dr. S. always inspires. He comes highighly recommended!
Dr. S. is a one-of-a-kind Professor. I can't remember having a teacher who taught in such a way that catered to so many different learning styles. His lessons and in-class discussion, real-world cases, and accessibility are what sets him apart from other Profs. I hope to take another course of his again. Thank you, Dr. S.! ;-)
Dr. Sakiewicz is a very good instructor. He is very respected amongst fellow classmates and AMU faculty and administrators. Dr. S. is very gracious with his time and he is always available and accessible. He makes you earn your grade, but is very fair and always willing to help. I learnt a great deal in his class and will take him again soon.
I took BUS601 with Dr. S. and, while there was A LOT of work in that class paper-wise, he was very engaging and always available to help you achieve the best grade possible. He gives great feedback and treats his students as equals. I'm now taking my 2nd class with him and was pleasantly surprised by less homework, but the same quality instruction.
Dr. Sakiewicz is an incredible professor. His level of professionalism and business acumen is unrivaled at this institution. I can say without hesitation that he is the best and most enjoyable instructor I have ever had in both my undergraduate and graduate programs. I hope to take him once again. I highly recommend Dr. S. He's top-flight!!
Dr. S. is an excellent Prof. I had to work hard for my grade and while I was disappointed by the B+, I knew I could have done better and applied myself more. Dr. S. gave me all the opportunity to do so and was very patient and generous with his time inside and outside the classroom. I learend a great deal about entrepreneurship. GREAT MENTORING!
Professor Sakiewicz is incredible! I plan on taking him again. He pays close attention to his students and is always willing to help and explains things. He is available 24/7 and even via text. I learned a great deal in his class and he gives great feedback and is very clear in his grading. EXCELLENT PROFESSOR! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Dr. S. is great! His compassion and empathy for his students and his reputation in academia and in the industry is incredible. Dr. S. has been with APUS for nearly 15 years and his reviews from students and what his colleagues say prove this time-and-time again. He was ALWAYS there for me inside and outside the classroom. I WILL take him again!
Dr. Sakiewicz is an incredible Prof! He treats his students like colleagues and not just students (total respect!). He challenged us beyond just the assignments and he took the material to another level (real-world experience). He treats everyone equally, has a great sense of humor, is understanding and empathetic. He sticks to his word. TAKE HIM!!
Asked for cliarification on an assignemnt and he said "it is pretty clear. you should understand this" and etc. I can tell you it was not clear cause 3 people I messaged did not get it either. Can you imagine going up to a teacher and asking a question about an assignment and getting you should get it? Like thats's your job, so clear it up?
Dr. Sakiewicz is a consummate professional and makes you work for your grade. He has the heart of a teacher and the mind of a very successful businessman. He does not hold your hands and he pushes you to get to a higher level. He is not soft, but steadfast in his training and education. He truly cares about your success. Take him! <2 thumbs up> :-D
This Prof is the real deal! Not only is he a well-respected faculty at APUS he is also a very successful entrepreneur. He is kind, understanding and always available inside and outside the classroom. He teaches with a passion for helping his students succeed. The most brilliant aspect is learning how to apply our knowledge in the real world.
Outstanding professor! Dr. S. is very knowledgeable about business and entrepreneurship. He has a well-connected network and is by far, the best professor I had so far in my entire experience at APUS. What I love most about Dr. S. is his openness to new perspectives, how he engages in conversations, and the way he challenges all of his students.
I really appreciated all the knowledge and experience Dr. S. has. Taking his class impacted me greatly. I am very glad I took Dr. S. because most universities do not have Profs like Dr. S. and they need excellent teachers like him who love to teach and more importantly, who teach us how to apply what we've learned in the real world. Kuddos Dr. S.!
Dr. S. is a superior professor at AMU. He communicates well and is always accessible inside and outside the classroom. Dr. S. delivers current and innovative practical knowledge that we can apply at our jobs and guides you on how to do it. He doesn't just talk about it, but he actually demonstrates how-to skills. AMAZING! I highly recommend Dr. S.!
Dr. S. is an excellent professor. In this nonprofit management course, I learned a great deal about fundraising and how to attract and retain donors like no other training I have had. Dr. S. delivers content in a way that is very efficient and effective. I am now more excited than ever before to start my own nonprofit charity. THANKS DR. S.! :-D
Great, fair professor. Ensure to follow APA 7th edition! Learning the material is on you, but that how online works anyway. No problems with his grading comments. Everything was straight forward and easy to follow.
Dr. S. was great! Especially in the middle of the university undergoing a new learning management system change. Dr. S. was very patient and helped tremendously. He's a great and caring Prof. I highly recommend him.
In my opinion, solid professor! Second class with him and I would definitely take a third. A couple of quizzes plus a mid term and a final for this class. Then a pretty long final paper, ensure to follow APA formatting and youll do fine. Nothing to get too worked up about though.
Dr. Sakiewicz is an outstanding professor. He is the best I have had at APUS. I also had him at another university on campus and I learn a lot from him there too. He really teaches you how to apply your learning in the real world. I am starting a business and his entrepreneurial insights and experience helped me a great deal. Top notch Prof! ;-)
Dr. S is a blessing to the craft. Thanks
Dr. Sakiewicz was fantastic! He's a real pro and not your stereotypical academic. Far from it. He's a real-world educator with amazing business and entrepreneurial experience and success that he brings into the classroom. He also has an incredible network that he is always willing to share. I highly recommend him! - John C.
I really enjoyed taking this class with Dr. Sakiewicz. I signed up for his class because he is well-respected by students and faculty alike. He is very active in class discussion and cares a great deal for his students' success. He is very understanding and considerate of work-life conflicts and is always willing to work with you. He is top notch!
I would highly recommend anyone take any courses that Dr. Sakiewicz teaches. His classes are well organized, his grading and feedback fair and timely and he really goes out of his way to be fully engaged in class. Also, he is 100% accessible inside and outside the classroom. Dr. S. taught me a great deal about entrepreneurship. He's excellent!!!
One discussion post per week, plus one paper due on Sunday every week. It was alot of writing each week between the discussion posts and papers due each week. No tests or quizzes just papers. He was very responsive via emails and his prompts for each assignment are interesting and thought provoking. Very easy to meet his writing requirements.
Dr. S. is an excellent instructor! He's is engaged in class discussion and always available to answer questions. Dr. S. cares about his student's success and provides excellent resources. While his course has lots of work, I learned a great deal from the material and from him as a Professor of business and a successful entrepreneur. 2 thumbs up!!
Dr. S. is an amazing instructor! I learned a great deal in this class. I initially took his class because I heard other students speak so highly if him. He is also well-respected faculty amongst his peers. He is always accessible outside of class if you have questions. He's a very caring and kind and wants you to succeed. Highly recommended!
Dr. S. is the best professor ever! I absolutely loved his class(es). He helped me determine the best professional route to take and I am very grateful for his mentorship, coaching and inspiration. I graduated with my MBA in Entrepreneurship and subsequently started my own business which is now thriving, even during my start up when COVID hit! :-D
Dr. S'. dedication and masterful instruction are unmatched by any professor that I have had in a very long time. He's always engaged, responsive and willing to go the extra mile to help in a myriad of ways (inside and outside the classroom). He is always available to talk and discuss things academically and professionally. Thanks Dr. S!
Dr. Sakiewicz is excellent! He makes you work for your grade which I appreciated. I've been in some online courses at other universities and they were weak. American Military University is top-notch and their professors are also seasoned practitioners. I love the way Dr. S. is active in the classroom and always accessible to answer questions.
Dr. Sakiewicz is always available to help. He is a great Prof! He's also a successful entrepreneur and very well-respected amongst his peers and colleagues. Fellow classmates recommend him often. I would take Dr. S. for all my classes if I could. He is fair, equitable, and is always there to answer questions and help you succeed. He's great!!! :-D
Dr. S is well accomplished in his field but, that does not mean you're going to be a great professor. Very rude and condescending. His comments were almost unreadable with the plethora or spelling and grammar mistakes. Takes a whole week to grade papers and discussions, really hurts when you want to incorporate notes into your next paper
Dr. S. is a superior instructor. He is always there to help you and is a great communicator. His wealth of real-world experience and engagement in class is second-to-none. I highly recommend you take him if you attend APUS, especially if you want to learn about business. He just might be the best Professor I have had in my entire academic career.
Dr. Ed is the best professor I've had at my university. He's a caring instructor who makes his students feel like colleagues, not subordinates. He treats everyone like a professional and teaches from a real-world experience mindset. Dr. Ed wants his students to apply what they learn and succeed in their chosen fields of business. 2 THUMBS UP!!
Dr. S. is the best business professor I have had in my academic career! My professional focus is entrepreneurship, and the way he brings real-world experience into the classroom as a successful entrepreneur is invaluable. He owns multiple companies in diverse industries and provides unique industry knowledge that no textbook can teach. THE BEST!!!
Dr. Sakiewicz was great. There was one big project and quizzes with a midterm and a final. He was easy to get ahold of if you have any questions and had a great personality for the course. Asked questions in the discussions throughout the week and was very engaging.
Dr. Ed is an excellent prof! I've taken 2 other courses with him, and he's helped me succeed. Anyone who gives him a score less than 5 on this platform, is either very mistaken, did not apply themselves, or just don't get it. Dr. Ed is the real deal and unlike any instructor I've ever had. #1 at APUS, in my opinion. Highly recommended!!!
When I heard great things about Dr. S. from fellow APUS classmates, I didn't believe it until I finished his course. He is incredibly engaging, a fair grader, and an excellent communicator. What I loved most about him was his ability to bring the theoretical into reality, directing us on how to apply our learning in the real world. 5 Stars!!!
I would recommend this Dr.S 10 times out of 10.
Dr. S. is an amazing instructor! He was always there for support, and was very involved in classroom discussion. He teached from a practitioner's mindset, versus from a purely academic mindset. He is a fair grader, and knows his stuff as a business man. Dr. S. was very lenient when it came to work-life issues I had. Highly recommended!
Dr. S. is by far, the best professor at AMU! This was the 2nd class I had with him and he did not disappoint again. He's always available inside and outside the classroom to discuss things, and is a real mentor and coach. Dr. S. cares about his students, and when things get tough, he's always willing to help. I highly recommend him!
He is tough but fair, great professor I learned a lot from him and his class. I highly respect him he isn't an Easy A professor that doesn't care but he also isn't the type to nuke your assignments because he looks down on you as a student. You are graded on the work you do not a personal chip on his shoulder.
I registered on this platform solely to share my feedback. Over the past three years, I've been utilizing RMP, and it has been instrumental in my academic success. Dr. Ed Sakiewicz stands out as the finest professor I've encountered during my time at AMU. I wish there were more professors like him but he is the first I have come across.
Dr. S. is an exceptional Professor. His real-world experience was key to my learning. Dr. S. also helped mentor me outside the classroom through a challenging work situation that concerned the subject matter I was learning regarding team development. I was recognized by my boss in front of my peers at work. I highly recommend Dr. Sakiewicz.
I have never had a Professor like Dr. S. While some of the instructors at APUS are good, Dr. S. outshines them all. Why? First of all, he is always engaged in class, and always there to help. Second, he's a highly successful businessman and entrepreneur, so he 'walks the talk' and teaches real-world application. Dr. S. is unexcelled! TAKE HIM!!
This is the first time I took Dr. S., and I'm glad I did. Many of my fellow AMU classmates recommended him, and after seeing his ratings here, I now know why he is among the best in the Wallace E. Boston School of Business MBA Program. Dr. S. truly cares about his students and is very well respected. He is always available to help. Thanks, Dr. S.!
Dr. Sakiewicz was incredible! He's a class act! A top-notch professional with a world of experience from both being in corporate America and as a 30-plus-year entrepreneur. I highly recommend taking Dr. S. because you will come away from his classes a better professional and able to apply what you learn. He is the best Prof at AMU, hands down!!
-Extremely obsessive about APA. Requests 7th edition and does not know it himself (follows old guidance). -Claims to provide "in-depth" examples, but BEWARE... these are also outdated and do not have all the requirements of APA 7th. -Seems to not understand technology - it's IMPOSSIBLE to get feedback on your work unless specifically requested.
Dr. S. guided me every step of the way. His grading is stringent, but he makes you work for it. There is no fluff or handouts with Dr. S. If you need a question addressed, he is always available. He is very active in discussions and a proactive and caring professor. Dr. S. holds you accountable for your success and is a great coach and mentor.
Dr. Sakiewicz is AMAZING! This is the 3rd course I've had with him. I read some of the earlier negative posts about him for this class, but I know these types of students. They expect an easy way out and don't do the hard work. Dr. S. is very proactive and will help any student succeed if they step up to the plate and apply themselves. Dr. S is #1!
Dr. S. is an excellent Professor! He challenged me to work hard and inspired me to remain focused during some tough times, inside and outside the classroom. He is a very caring person with great business experience and knowledge. Dr. S. made me better at everything I did in his course. THANK YOU, Dr. S., for being such an excellent instructor!
Dr. S. is the best Professor I have had at AMU. I've taken him twice now, and I always learn a great deal in his courses, both from an academic and practitioner standpoint. Dr. S. is always available inside and outside the classroom. He cares deeply about the success of his students and developing professional relationships. Dr. S. is top-tier!
Besides his pyramid scheme he tries to implore on week 1, he sure loves to brag about his "#DreamLife" copy and paste intro that he'll try to get you into as he thinks he is above everyone else as usual. Other then that moving to the following weeks of class he will not give any specific information and mark you down every week.
Dr. S. is a great instructor who truly cares about his students and their success in the real world. He's a no-nonsense business person who provides serious insight into how to run, and operate a business, as well as how to properly organize and manage one. I learned a great deal from him in the course. I highly recommend Dr. S. Two thumbs up!
Dr. Sakiewicz was incredible! Probably the best Professor I have had at AMU. He is a great communicator, responds fast, and has a 'servant's heart. He is a great leader, inspiring, and mentors well. He is all about bringing theory into practice. I've already received two compliments for the recommendations I've made to my boss. Highly recommended!
This was my last course before moving on to my Capstone before graduating this December, and I have to say that Dr. Sakiewicz was one of the best, if not the best Professors I've had in my career at APUS. His knowledge and experience in business is uncanny. He is a great coach, and mentor and truly cares about his students' success. Thanks, Dr. S.!
Assignments I put a lot of effort into were marked low. Assigments I put zero effort into, I recieved 100%. Inconcsistant in grading, but easy grader. Assignments were straightforward. 1 midterm and 1 final, all multiple choice. Two papers. Weekly discussion papers. I missed one discussion, which led to my B grade, otherwise I had an A.
Of all the instructors I've had during my master's degree work at APUS, Dr. Sakiewicz ranks amongst the best. He is a straightforward teacher who doesn't teach from the proverbial 'Ivory Tower' but treats his students more like business partners and associates. His goal is to show us how to apply our learning at work. A great Professor and mentor!
Dr. S. helped me like no other nonprofit leadership expert (professional or academic). His experience in building NPOs is impressive. The techniques and strategies I learned from him are invaluable. The fundraising plan I developed in class garnered rave reviews from my Board and staff. We have implemented it with great success! I'm excited!!! :-D
I learned a lot about leadership from Dr. S. He has an impressive leadership background from his 32+ years as a serial entrepreneur and former corporate executive. His teaching style is very collegial. He doesn't teach like a typical academician but as a business expert. He treats his students like colleagues and business associates. GREAT PROF!!
Dr. Sakiewicz is an engaging professor with real-world expertise. He challenges students while being supportive, and the class workload is manageable with the right study habits. Unstuckstudy was a great supplementary tool for preparing for exams.
This was the hardest class I have taken. Discussions each week, two quizzes, midterm test, final test and final paper. The quiz answers very from what you find when you do a google search with the question. Overall, he was very easy to contact and helped out if needed. Just be prepared to work hard for your grade.
I must thank Dr. Sakiewicz for making this class so engaging by adding real-world examples. I appreciate how he takes his professional experience and incorporates it into the weekly discussions. The class is challenging, but I learned so much. It's one of my favorite courses I've taken at APUS and, by far, one of the most interesting. Incredible!
Dr. S. transcends traditional higher educational boundaries by integrating cutting-edge business strategies with his 32+ years of real-world experience as a former corporate executive and now a serial entrepreneur. If you're passionate about enhancing your business knowledge and skills you can immediately apply, I strongly recommend taking Dr. S.
Hefty course workload. Some test questions were not covered in the reading materials. Multiple assignments die each week with heavy reading/video requirements.
Dr. S. is a great instructor. BUSN620 is an excellent course. Easy to navigate. Weekly discussion assignments are clear. The final strategic plan project was very useful. I learned a great deal. The quizzes are easy if you study and read the material. Dr. S. is very responsive, engaged in discussion, and always available. I highly recommend him.
Dr. S. was an outstanding professor. This was the first time I took him, and glad I did. Many of my fellow peers recommended him highly, and they were correct! Dr. S. truly cares about his students and will do everything to help guide them through the process. He is always available inside and outside of class to help. He is incredibly inspiring!
Of all the professors I've had at AMU, Dr. S. is the best, by far, on multiple levels. His real-world experience and knowledge of the subject matter are impressive. he is unmatched by his colleagues. I've taken him twice and was always treated with respect. I am near the end of my program, and I look forward to networking with him in my career.
I wish I could have Dr. S. for every class! He was totally engaged throughout the course both in discussions and grading with helpful feedback. Lots of work throughout the course, but Dr. S. was so inspirational, it helped me motivate myself to do my best work. His enthusiasm for the subject matter was infectious and enhanced comprehension.
I am thankful to have had such an incredible and caring instructor in Dr. Sakiewicz (aka Dr. S). His dedication to students is inspiring. With his vast experience in the topics he teaches, he works hard to help his students succeed. Dr. S. made my experience at AMU incredibly memorable and I want him to know that his work does not go unnoticed.
Dr. S. is the consummate entrepreneur and business Professor who innovates in the classroom. He teaches real-world content applicable in today's global marketplace. Dr. Biz is very personable and treated me like a business associate as opposed to a typical professor who teaches from their proverbial 'Ivory Tower'. Dr. S. cares and listens. 👍👍
With online schooling, it can sometimes be a unique challenge to maintain high engagement in the digital classroom. Yet despite those challenges, Dr. Sakiewicz demonstrates a rare level of empathy and clearly makes an ongoing effort to engage with students every week. Expect: Meaningful feedback, required participation, engaging weekly dialogue
My course would have ended in disaster had it not been for Dr. S. I overlooked an assignment which would have ended in a failing grade, so I contacted Dr. S. about my situation, and he was very professional and showed genuine concern. He worked after hours to ensure I had everything I needed to complete my requirements. I am so grateful for Dr. S.
Dr. S. is exceptionally qualified! I was impressed by his energy and passion. His personal real-world business examples reinforced the core principles of the course's subject matter. He also had high demands from many students that competed for his time, and he always handled each situation with grace. Dr. S. is a special kind of Professor. 👍👍
Dr. Sakiewicz is the best teacher ever! His real-world entrepreneurial experience helped me turn around my music shop that was about to go under. Thanks to his direction and recommendations with writing my business plan, we were able to come out of the red and into the black within this 8-week course. I am so thankful for him. He genuinely cares!
You won't ever earn a 100%. I have never had an issue with earning an A in a course and nothing makes him happy. He says you can't work ahead. I asked Academic Advising if you can work ahead and they said yes. There is nothing that says you can't work ahead. This professor makes up rules.
Dr. S. is the best professor I've had at APUS. This is my third course with him, and he is very engaged in discussions, offering his extensive experience from the real world, and he provided great feedback. Dr. S. is also always accessible inside and outside the class, and very willing to work with students during some challenges. Two thumbs up!
Dr. Sakiewicz was a very insightful professor to learn from, the wealth of experience is truly astounding. He was incredibly accommodating with my specific situation in exceeding the deadline for a particular assignment. You'll thank yourself for choosing this professor!
I have many good things to say about Dr. Sakiewicz. He is incredible! A high-level educator with a wealth of real-world experience in a myriad of industries. His teaching style is more like a business partner and colleague than the typical stuffy professor pontificating from their proverbial "Ivory Tower". Dr. S. is humble and a servant leader.
Dr. Sakiewicz was incredibly engaged from Week 1 thru Week 8. His participation in discussions was off-the-charts good. He shared so many of his real-world professional experiences. The weekly discussion questions alone could have been enough for us become subject matter experts. Great course! Better Professor! Highly recommended! One of the best!
In my master's program at AMU, I never experienced a professor as caring, inspirational and credible as Dr. S. "CREDIBLE' as in well-respected in the industries he serves. Particularly amongst colleagues (biz & academia), and students. He taught me how to apply my learning at my job. Can you say promotion?!? Dr. S. is a badass! Can I say that? 👍💰
Professor Sakiewicz is very understanding and caring. He works with you as long as you stay active, provide thoughtful feedback, and submit work on time. My dad passed while I was taking this course, and he was incredibly compassionate and accommodating to my needs during that difficult time, offering support that truly made a difference.
Dr. S. is a straightforward professor who provides generic feedback. His class is organized in a way that doesn't overwhelm students, and he grades fairly. I would take a class with this professor again.
