A little arrogant, other than that OK. Lecture notes on web a plus.

Hard subject, lots of homework, boring class but you have to go. No one got above 85% on all 4 tests

boring, but a very easy class

Gene Fliedner was the man. His class was good, he expects alot but you learn alot. These other people don't know what they're talking about.

His classes could be more fun. Exams are a pain, but do the practise quizes from text, you should be fine them.

This class was about as easy as it gets with all the slackers in my class. Go to class, print the notes and pay attention and you will easily get a 3.0 or higher. Many people that complain missed 2 of the 5 quizzes. There's no doubt that Eugene knows the material and is excited about it.

download his notes, do the reading, do the homework, pay attention, participate, and you'll do well. This is not a tough class.

If you show up to class, take notes, and do the homework, you will do fine. Granted the course is difficult, but if he doesn't like the average, he will curve it. Normally, the class average is in the 60s. He doesn't pass back the tests, so go to his office and he will help go over it.

Good general class, a lot of material was covered, but if you keep up on the reading, pay attention and do the problems, you'll do fine.

simply the best

Firm teacher with no freebee's given

People complain about how difficult he is, but also never show up to class. 4 quizzes (drops the lowest), and 3 multiple choice exams. He allows you to have a cheat sheet during exams. I never bought a book and played FreeCell during class and got a 4.0. He's acually a fairly nice guy, take him if you actually go to your classes.

Professional, clear, enthusiastic, concise, very experienced, speaks very professionally. Challenges the individual, but if you do the work and take the course serious (like you should since you are paying for it) you will do very well. Everyone that works in any type of manufacturing industry shoudl take this course with him,

Difficult material, but Prof. Fliedner is clear and helpful. SimProject (project management simulation) is a time pit. The amount of effort put into it would be better spent on the course material. If you take this class, be prepared to work.

Class is not easy. First test wasn't that bad, but tests got harder as the semester went on. Fliender does curve and is willing to help if asked. My advise is to really know the formulas and how to use them w/problems more difficult than homework for the 2nd and 3rd tests and know Fliedner's notes and concepts (book and his notes) VERY VERY well.

GREAT prof! Knows material & how it relates to real world. Makes it interesting. Learned more than I expected & it has helped me at work. Notes are easy to follow. Nice to hear about a dad who loves his kids. Enjoyed that a lot. Look forward to taking another class from this prof as it will probably help me even more at work.

Seems like a jerk at first, but he's actually pretty nice once you get used to him. This class is not nearly as hard as everyone says it is. Tests and quizzes are somewhat difficult but fair. He also curves the overall grades, so you don't have to do good, just better than everyone else. If you go to class and do the homework, you'll be fine.

The lectures were very long, but informative. I liked his passion for the subject. I took a real hit on my GPA because his tests required a mastery of the subject. On the final, the class average was a 58%. I studied, perhaps I could've studied more, who knows. Thank god for the quizes and homework those totally helped me pass the class.

Grading is very fair. Do your homework and you will be fine. Study a lot for the final cause it is very hard. I would recommend this teacher.

He is VERY passionate about POM and a good speaker. However, be forewarned that good grades are hard to come by: pop quizes, random homework collected (only once for us), and very difficult exams. He will curve the final grades, but it's nothing special. Take him for the learning experience..but definitely NOT for an easy "high grade."

The class is difficult and he words his pop quizzes and exams so that you need to really think about the question and know your stuff. But, if you show him you are working hard and put forth the effort you will be rewarded. He will meet you halfway! I highly recommend him!!!!

This is a tough class no matter who you take. Fliedner gives quizzes and homework assignments which force you to stay up on the material. His lectures are great, and he manages to keep it interesting. Concepts aren't difficult, there's just a lot of work involved. Highly recommend this teacher.

He is an acquired taste...I was nearly in tears by the end of the first class but by the end of the semester he was one of my favorite teachers. Be sure to participate in class and learn the concepts of the class, not just memorize stuff and you will be fine. He gives a pretty generous curve too.

Dr. Fliedner is a very good teacher. I enjoyed going to class and he has a lot of knowledge for POM. The class itself was challenging for me. I managed to pull through without the greatest grade but he is a very fair teacher. Make sure to stay on top of the course work. It is random when you get a quiz unless he hints it. He is very helpful -Nick

Strict, but you can get a good grade if you put in a fair amount of effort. Half the quizzes were take home, gives a curve, and allows a page of notes on test. Can come across as abrasive, but it seems to be more out of just having high expectations of students. Pretty funny guy and one of the best lecturers I've had. I think that's why I did well.

It's a hard class no matter who you take. Prof Fliedner is an awesome guy and pretty funny too. But, grade is only 2 exams and 5 quizzes. The quizzes are sometimes not even based on what he lectures. Exams are very hard. So theres no room to do bad on anything. I have a 3.6 GPA and I barely got a 2.0. Great guy though. One of the best lecturers.

This Professor's lectures are phenomenal. He knows how to crack a joke. He is very dedicated to his students (he taught to his student even though he was ill). The exams for this class are ruthless and unreasonable in accounting for material that is irrelvant to class. I was expecting at least a 3.7, but dropped to a 3.4 due to the final.

Please don't mistake difficult material with bad teaching! Professor Fliedner is a great professor and is really passionate about this subject. Most people aren't. This course covers A LOT of information, even he knows that, but if you're a business major you have to take it. So you might as well take it with somebody who loves the subject.

Tough class, good professor. You can't just go over the powerpoints. Do the homework, even though he most likely won't collect it, because he doesn't tend to cover the mathematical problems during lectures (other than reviewing it). Do your homework, go to class, and study for the exams and you should be fine. Curves class average to 78.

honestly best teacher ever! Take him! He made class so enjoyable! Come to class and take notes and you will do fine in the class.

Fliedner is a great professor. He has a reputation for being tough but it's a tough class no matter what. He goes through everything in great detail leaving no grey areas. He's an engaging lecturer and does his best to make long lectures less painful. Two exams. HW, not required. Collects HW/gives random quizzes 6x in semester. Drops lowest grade.

Wow what a very tough class for the subject matter at hand. I thought this would be an enjoyable learning experience but it was far from it. I was also planning to get a minor in POM but decided not to after taking it with him. Overall great guy but very tough exam questions that average a 57% class. Curves class to 78%

Detailed lectures, uses great examples, knowledgeable, engaging, but keeps you for the ENTIRE class time. Skip class and you won't pass! Passionate instructor.

Dr. Fliedner is there for students that are actually trying in his class. He does not want to fail any students. His exams are tough, but he gives a generous curve to the exams and curves overall class. Participation can also add onto your grade in this class. Show up and do the work- you'll be fine. He's fair and a great person.

One of the best professors I've had. He's a great guy, very passionate about the subject, and genuinely cares about the success of his students. A lot of material is covered, with assessments given at the end of each chapter. Some sections can be difficult, but as long as you go to class, take notes, and study the PowerPoints, you should do well

I had his class during the Winter, COVID semester. He uses Panopto for pre-recorded lectures. They can be long but you SHOULD watch them all. Quizzes and tests are easy if you take notes and listen to his lectures. The textbook is required but I did not use it. If you are looking for an interactive and *fun* professor, do not choose him.

Prof Fliedner is an enjoyable teacher to have. He cracks jokes and wants everyone to be involved. Sometimes class can be dry but you get through it. If you put in the effort he will make sure you pass the class. Reading the text isnt super necessary (if you go to class) but doing the homework is. Only grades for the class are 3 exams 6 quizzes

He's a good professor, but he lectures very quickly. He can go through a lesson within a day, sometimes two, and will always have a quiz following the end of the lecture which is sometimes on the same day. He really knows his material and is passionate about it. He cares about his students and is very accomodating to them. He also grades fairly.

Professor Fleidner is a great lecturer mostly powerpoint stuff but has more to say overall Grades are made up of 3 25Q exams and 6 10Q quizzes with the lowest quiz being dropped. He will go over everything in class so pay attention. Would take again and a great professor

Amazing guy, he really cares about his students. I wish his rating was higher. He lectures the whole time but tries to make jokes to lighten it up and he's pretty entertaining. He is very accessible after class, go have lunch with him and he will explain any questions. He does not want any of his students to fail, so please take him!

He really cares about the students. The lectures contained key information that is necessary for a career.The content was also very relevant for the exams.There is group cases for this class and if you're having issues with a group member he's right there to help fix it anonymously. I really appreciated his class, it taught me a lot.Also, show up.

Prof Fliedner is entertaining, but his classes can be fast-paced. Attend regularly, take good notes, and use resources like Unstuck AI to stay on top of the material. Overall, a rewarding class if you put in the effort.

The lectures are long and get to be a little boring. He is really understanding and knows students have a life outside of the classroom. The group projects are case papers answer questions; the hard part about those are no one got a grade higher than a 90% so he grades hard on those.

Please do not look at any of the negative comments about this professor. If you show up and put the effort in, you will easily get a good grade in this class. He is very passionate about what he teaches and so friendly and caring.
