Respectful, Caring and fair grading system
Hassan Pardawalla is an amazing professor who makes the class interesting through his communication skills with the students. The class never gets boring, and the students automatically get engaged with the lectures as he asks real life examples from the students. He's respectful, caring, and open-minded. He appreciated my business idea in class.

He provides excellent feedback on assignments and is always willing to help outside of class. Highly recommend for anyone serious about learning!
He is caring and inspiring. No workloads. Participate and reach class before it starts. Clear grading criteria and he will provide you directions to achieve your grades.
The classes themselves were interesting to attend but beware of the workload it gets hectic after 3-4 weeks Also the clients that were brought in were not very good Extremely small businesses which it difficult to actually analyze the businesses
If you wanna boost your score just take him.the best professor so far and the best group as well
Engages well in discussions, but grading criteria are unclear and grading is consistently harsh. Its a big NO!!!
Great Professor, must take for Small Business management. Easy lectures and clear grading criteria.
Hassan pardawalla is an AMAZING professor for small business management, with clear grading, engaging lectures and positive class environment, go for him if you want to learn something with good grades.
Professor Hassan is a good professor for small business mgt. He explain concepts with great clarity and teaching style is clear and engaging.
The professor is amazing. He makes you work hard a little, but it's fine for us to grow. He has a deep understanding of the subject as he explains everything more diversely and easily. He is very easy going and he wants us to learn and be the best versions of ourselves. He makes us prepared for the professional world
Great professor and has opened our minds about the concept of small business in Canada in recent years, specifically in BC. He has fantastic teamwork and effort in doing the project, and his guidance will bring you success. He is open-minded and easy to reach most of the time. All material in class he will provide well and clearly in class.
He is not considerate in his grading and will grade you based on your non verbal communication rather than your paperwork. He also talks to much
Prof. Hassan is an inspiring professor. He provided us last term with a lot of information regarding small businesses in Canada, and his projects are real business projects, which is very interesting. Ensure you are in touch and communicate well with group team members. Thank you for your advice, which is always for us in and out of class.
He has good insights about the subject. His delivery style is also impressive. Makes students work hard but that's worth it.
Take it again and most intellectual , practical class i ever had in ucw
Professor is very punctual and wants everyone to be the same but in all other spheres he's awesome and even a good grader if you work a bit harder
Interesting lectures with less work load and a good grader
It was worth going to campus on Sunday mornings.
He is a very good professor. Don't think anything and choose him.
One of the kindest professors UCW will ever witness.. will make the class so entertaining that even getting there at 8am would feel worth it. He was so open to communication, helping with queries as soon as a human possibly could..wish this university had more professors like him. Just follow the very clearly stated rubrics and you are good to go.
I cannot say more about professor. I was having issues with keeping up my CGPA for passing out from UCW. During the start of the semester I communicated my expectation from the course and professor communicated his requirements for being the best students of the class to achieve the desired grades. Very clear and Consice teaching style. Plz tke hm
One review was not enough so here I am. I just want to say strongly this that Professor Hassan is the best thing UCW can provide ever. I'm happy I landed on his class. Thanks professor for exceptional teaching.
Professor Hassan is one of the best professors at UCW. His teaching style will enhance your critical thinking skills and make you ready for the professional world. His classes are super engaging and there is not a single dull moment in the class. Follow his instructions and rubrics and you shall have smooth sailing journey. Highly recommended.
Good professor for small business. Sounds very strict, but in reality very good instructor. Enables students to learn everything about how to start a small business. Participation matters a lot, be on time in classes. OGL with groups every week. Gives good marks as per the hard work.
Great Professor. You can go for it.
This professor is excellent. Their teaching style makes learning engaging and enjoyable, and the classes never feel heavy. Time passes quickly because the lectures are well-structured and interesting. I highly recommend this professor, as they explain concepts clearly and create a positive, motivating learning environment.
One of the best
Amazing lectures and Great Professor
He is amazing and approachable,available for students most of the time.
The professor is highly knowledgeable and explains concepts clearly. Creates a positive and engaging learning environment
Amazing professor!
Best professor at UCW. If. You work hard then you easily get A grade. Not that much workload
Nothing more about him. You must do your assignment and submit it at the right time
He used to be a good professor but not pretty sure what happened to him recently he is just awful. Graded me very low and need to repeat the course. Get ready to really hardwork or face the consequences of repeating the course.
Don't believe people who say the grading is fair. It's really tough and doesn't make sense. I worked hard and followed all the rules but still got a bad grade. It feels like the professor wants to take off points for no reason. Things are different now.
The professor is very smart, but they are not good at teaching. The tests ask about tiny details they barely talked about, and it's not clear what they want on homework. It's a very frustrating class for a normal student.
The old reviews sound like they are about a different professor. I took this class because of the good reviews, but it was terrible. The professor doesn't seem to care, the class feels old, and they are not willing to help. Whatever was good about this class is gone.
You can't get help from this professor. If you go to their office for help, it doesn't work, and they send short, unhelpful emails. When you are struggling, this makes a hard class feel impossible. Maybe they used to help students more.
This professor teaches as if you already know everything. They don't start with the basics. If you are not already an expert on the topic, you will have a very hard time. The good reviews are probably from students who were already experts.
This class is not about learning. It's about memorizing exactly what the professor thinks. If you have your own idea, you get a bad grade, even if it's a good one. You just have to repeat what they say. It's very discouraging.
I am writing this to warn you. Do not pick this class because of old reviews. The professor has changed. It used to be a good class, but now it is just stressful with too much work and unfair grading. Do yourself a favor and avoid it.
I heard this professor was tough but fair, which I can handle. But their whole philosophy is that being unclear and unforgiving prepares you for the "real world." I have a part-time job, and the real world has never been this disorganized or disrespectful of my time.
I planned my whole semester around the syllabus for this class, which looked manageable. That was my first mistake. Every other week, a "pop" quiz would be announced, or a small assignment would suddenly become a 10-page paper. The goalposts were constantly moving, and it was impossible to keep up.
Awesome will highly recommended it.
Engaging lectures, Amazing knowledge. Totally worth taking his class. Highly recommended
He's the best professor at UCW for Small Business—take his class or miss the chance to learn from a master!
Easy professor with principles
Osm Professor you will going to love the classes, going to learn a lot for sure get to know how to do presentation and your confidence gets boost up.
Great Professor, makes the lecture fun and interesting along with the learning. Definitely would take it again. Has very clear grading criteria and is easily approachable. He will help you with any doubts within a few hours; no need to wait for the whole day or for the next class.
Fair grader. No pop-up/ surprise quizzes. Clear instructions and expectations for assignments. Defined grading rubric. Interesting classes. You get fair grade if you participate & follow instructions! Thumbs up for the professor!
Intresting class, good grades, good lectures, participation matters, overall follow the rubrics get a good points. Great professor.
One of the best professors I've had during my time at UCW. He explains concepts clearly with real-world examples. No quizzes, only group projects and individual assignments. He encourages class discussions and grades fairly you can score 80+, if you put an effort. II highly recommend taking his courses if you get the chance.
He is a good professor, lots of PPT work that required us to be participative in class by being super active on teams app but overall relatively chill/easy, just ensure to make time for both OGL team work and in person classes. Good and fair grading, refer to rubrics and assign instructions, ask him for any doubts/feedback. Interesting lectures.
He is a great professor with fair grading criteria. Follow the rubrics to get good grades. Group task (discussion forum) each week during OGL which cause difficulty for time management within the group however, it helps to boost your knowledge. He gives clear feedback and a prompt reply. Just go for him, he is really good prof at UCW.
Good teaching style, respectable prof, lots of general knowledge, if you put in efforts he definitely grades well.
So Hassan is a professor you want to take if you actually plan on participating and contributing to the class. If your expectation is that you will just come to class lay low and let the semester roll by my advice would be take a different professor. If you are one of those students who participates in lectures asks questions he's a great option
Professor Hassan is one of the best instructors I've had. His amazing personality makes classes engaging and approachable. He genuinely cares about students' success, offering support inside and outside the classroom. Overall, an excellent professor who makes learning enjoyable and impactful.

Prof Hassan's class is one the best I had in UCW. I love that he invites business owners and challenges the class to propose feasible solutions to recommend.
