Encourages you to ask questions. Even if you don't have a question wants them anyway. When students ask questions he cuts them off. My advice, read the book, tune him out and study from the study guide you get. Go to class for the credit, (he is big on attendance).

He's very easy going and fair. He gives MANY opportunities for EXTRA/BONUS points galore. He does know business. He's not bad but he does talk and encourages ANY questions. Tons of easily obtained bonus points can get you an A with not so great test scores. You can learn a great deal from him.

Hes really willing to work with students who show an active interest in his class. Missed a lot of classes, and was sick a lot, didnt do well on many tests, but pulled a B because he was willing to work with me on things. Will spend the first 15-20min talking abour the stock market... Easy to get off topic.

Class is not needed.More or less memorize the book.He is a very smart man. It is hard to conclude a recommendation.Make sure you have a good understanding of vocab. If he asks for questions and no one has any he will throw random quizzes at the class.Make sure you have a few about the economy or just ask him how he feels on a subject.

"Read the book 3 times." That is the only criteria for the class. Attendance counts towards grade. Lectures only about personal experiences as they relate to book, many not at all. Tests are based on book to include questions that are insignificant while predominate issues are absent. Memorizing book word for word is what makes this class hard

He has a lot of business and life experience but doesn't cover any of the material on the test in his 'lectures.' Tests are not difficult if you read - the questions are directly out of the book.

This profeesor is really detached from reality. His lecturs are about his stocks and bonds, his business opportunities, his brushes with notable people. If you attempt to discuss anything with him, he seems bothered by this. His test are 50% defnitions, 50% senarios based on book reading. Use the books internet site tools and you'll do fine.

Marketing was fun reading about, it wasn't fun when he talked about it. He reads the title, interprets the material and goes into a story.
