Frank's BUS 101 class was excellent. Exams were fair. He covers great material and provides top-notch insight from his business background. BUS 101's downside is a final group project done with students who would immediately be fired in a real business setting. Lazy student made the final group project a brutal, unrealistic chore.

Frank is a hard grader and is very clear about how he wants things done. Unfortunately any slight deviation from that will give you a less than favorable grade.
