Houston isn't too bad. The course on the other hand is. It is a lot of work for the group project, and you are forced to participate in the final competition if your group is chosen. The test wasn't so bad. The assignments were annoying. A lot of reading and content for nothing.

Houston Peschl is an innovator that you don't always have the pleasure of meeting so easily in the form of a professor at UofC. He is highly accomplished and humbly inspires his students to do the same. This was an intro course to a minor. I considered dropping the class due to my busy schedule, but he made the class very interesting. Recommend!

Houston is passionate and knowledgeable about sustainability and its function within the corporate world. This is a great class, especially for those planning to work in O&G. Make sure to read the text and reference it in your papers.

Great guy, gives you respect and helps you when you ask for it. Many people complaining about Houston simply only care about a grade they get and not the actual quality of entrepreneurship.

HANDS DOWN MY FAVOURITE PROF OF ALL TIME! Very relatable, very understandable very inspirational. I would love to learn from him more and more

Houston does his very best to help each student in the class regardless as to if you like or dislike the course. He's amazing during office hours & is always willing to discuss ways you can improve. Very easy to talk to and always forces students to think outside of the box. Work hard in the course and it will show in your grade. Very respectable.

Houston is a great prof and is very respectful to students and is always more than willing to help. but the course itself still has its flaws because it is relatively new, but I can already see improvement in the course.

Do not aim to get a straight A in this course. That being said, this course requires a VERY different way of problem solving. Houston helps develop that thinking. Go to his office hours and ask direct specific questions. Houston is not like other profs, he will give very specific answers to your questions. Put in a LOT OF EFFORT & you will love it!

Houston is one of the most engaging profs I have experienced. He made this course, which requires a much different thought process than most in Haskayne, much easier to comprehend. Marked extremely fair, and was not afraid to give A+ if it was earned.

It is a hard class that requires a lot of work. It gives you the feeling of what it is like to plan a business (just in a forced way). I took it with Houston, but both instructors were really helpful with their feedback and even with their connections! I felt the course could be organized better, but it is improving, no tests starting next year.

Seriously the best Professor that I've ever had. Genuine caring person - the only people who do poorly in his class are the ones that either don't try or are unwilling to venture outside the normal route of Academia.

Good prof, terrible class - that says it all. One more thing, the marking is heavily dependent on the TA so pray you get the right one.

Great prof and inspiring course

Effort equals results here. Keep an open mind and look for opportunities

Houston is an awesome prof! If you go to his office hours to get his advice it'll make the course much easier. Make sure you try to get your customer primary research/problem done in the beginning of the semester and it'll save you stress. If you want an A, you need to be clear in how your idea has evolved based on the research

TBH entrepreneurship is not an easy thing to teach anyone. Houston does a great job of trying to bring real life situations into his lectures but it can be a hard topic for some people to grasp. If you find a good business idea the class will be great, otherwise you may struggle. He is very passionate and wants his students to "get it".

Houston is one of the coolest and nicest profs i have had, however, this class is next to impossible. Pray to god you get a good group, because this entire course is group work. I'm not really sure how there is a final and midterm as you don't learn much but they are not too hard. Worksheets are beyond tedious and are not relevant to the course.

Houston is a good professor, and this class was fun and interesting. With that being said, I was blessed with a great group - if you do not get a good group, ENTI 317 is your funeral. Have to attend almost every single lecture in order to do well, work outside of class (validation) is HEAVY. Be prepared to work hard. Houston is passionate.

Houston is a fairly good prof. He is very clear in communicating with students what is expected. He is very accessible outside of lecture in office hours and is helpful in answering questions and concerns. However, ENTI317 is an extremely work heavy course. Expect to put many hours into this class and even more if your randomly assigned group sucks

Houston is THE BEST!!! Hes inspiring and caring! He pushes you to be the best that you can be and prepares you for the REAL world - unlike other professors at Haskayne! He can change your life and set you on the path to success! Houston, you are an exceptional person!!!

Houston was an awesome professor. As long as you put in an effort and work with your group to develop solid presentations you'll do fine. Houston is very supportive in that if you need advice or guidance he is always willing to help and in a timely manner. Also it's awesome knowing how much passion he has for entrepreneurship !

This class will be different in comparison to any other one you have ever taken in Haskayne. There is a lot of work you have to do on your own, but at least it is interesting. Focus worksheets are the worst part, but Houston is very helpful if you can make it to his office hours. Don't let a bad group hold you back, you can do awesome still!

Worth the effort. This class is a challenge but truly worth it.

I liked Houston, took this as a block week course and he did a good job in the course. Content was clear and mostly delivered to where he tested. He is arrogant but everyone in the ENTI program is so expected it. I would take him again, just not the ENTI one everyone is giving him a 1 for - lol

He is a nice guy. He wants all of his students to succeed, there for you if you need help to understand something.

Put the work in and receive your grade. He provides more information in his lectures than Ross. Offers help whenever needed.

Idk why his rating is so low, I was scared to take his class because of it but he's a very approachable person and clearly cares about his students! This class is a lot of work but Houston does whatever he can to help and I really think he is a great prof! would definitely take again!

ENTI as a class is not the greatest, but I really do think Houston is a good guy and he's a lot of help with the group project. Watch the midterm- cause that can get you, since you feel like you're not actually learning anything in the lectures. You don't need to be at every lecture, but it helps if the whole group is there to do project stuff.

If you attend the lectures and ask questions to him and Ta's you'll do fine. The only thing that might hold you back is if you end up in a bad group, which are not self-selected. I got lucky and had a good group, so I might have some bias there. This class has come a long way since Haskayne changed the BComm program, not as hard as it used to be.

I was nervous for this class because of all the reviews but it was not bad. Be careful on the written assignments - make sure you are following the rubric exactly and go to the online tutorials for clarification. The midterm is all memorization so not difficult but time consuming.

Not as hard as everyone said, for the big project you just have to email people and research for validation not very hard at all. Make sure to read all of the suggested readings you will be tested on them and the test is so much harder than expected make sure you know details. Always talk to Houston he is always willing to help you with your mark.

Its tough, hes a good prof and he really does care and will help your succeed, but ENTI is still being worked on and its a bit of a crappy class. Study the slides and READ THE READINGS.

Great class to take. If you are interested in LEARNING about sustainability, do not hesitate to take this class. Might not be an easy A, but is one of the most valuable classes i have taken in my uni career. Brought in guest speakers in industry and ended with a tour at DIRTT facilities, while also going through the entire spectrum in a blockweek

GREAT Block week class. I took this class with no expectations and came out with valuable information I actually cared about. Super interesting and classes flew by. It didn't feel like a regular block week class. Fair grading if you put in decent effort you will get an A.

Great person and great teacher. The course is organized a little poorly and the marking criteria is very ambiguous.

He is passionate about the course however it is a huge work load. He expects a lot from you even though most people aren't going to pursue their business pitch. The grading is subjective as to whether he likes your idea or not, so I suggest talking to him and seeking input. He gives good advice and is always looking for ways to better the course.

Different structure! Does require a lot of work outside of class but teaches you imp skills. Content is not hard as you use every concept in your project and worksheets. Attend class as class activities help understand the concept. Definitely had fun! helped me become more confident! TIP: do the worksheets! They make life easier!! Take Houston!

Houston was a great prof, really cared about his students and was supportive. The course on the other hand wasn't the greatest, it required a lot of work outside of the class and the marking for the assignments was really based on which TA you had. Tutorials were a waste of time, the ENTI website is poorly organized.

Houston was a good prof. I found the term test hard but if you study for it then youll have no problem. Be sure to go to the tutorials as they will give you a good idea of what the assignments will be like.

People get angry when they dont do well. Tough luck, Houston does whatever he can to make this course good! I am sorry but if you dont learn what he is teaching then your gonna have a tough job search, all the firms emphasize what he is talking about. Advice: dont be that annoying person who only likes a course if it is an easy A. FACT

Cutting edge professor that is limited by the course hes asked to teach. Interesting and personable guy who has to teach a uniquely difficult course. Prof is good but wouldnt go out of my way to take his courses

A great proc to talk to after class and during office hours. He will give you specific feedback and point you in the direction of success.

Houston is an overall great guy, and up to this point my favorite university professor I've ever had. He genuinely cares about his students and is very honest. The only downfall is that the class itself is very frustrating. Tons of homework, group work, and presentations. All in all though, very personable guy, and great prof.

Houston is a great prof who really cares about his students and their success, he gives great feedback. The class is tough, you will need to put in many hours per week if you want a great mark. No textbook needed which is good, randomized group project for the majority of the class, life will be easier if you're lucky and get a good group.

Houston will share his time and offer great feedback. This course is a life resource not just a uni credit. Pay attention to the big picture and the takeaway

Houston is a great prof! This course has a bad reputation for being a lot of work, which is true, but Houston is always ready to help students in any way he can. Despite being online, his lectures were quite engaging with constant opportunity for participation.

Get ready to put WAY too much time into this class. If you want a good grade you are seriously going to have to work hard and go above and beyond expectations (which are already high). All of the creative decision are completely up to you and your group which is very overwhelming. Brainstorm a good business idea before starting in this class !

You will have to put ALOT of work into this course. I did this course online, on top of zoom lectures and tutorials there was worksheets, videos, readings, group meetings etc. He is an amazing prof and is very engaging, the course work is just very heavy. Wrote 3 papers individually and had to record 2 presentations with the assigned group.

Houston's a good prof, pretty encouraging and teaches to the best of his ability. I put him down a mark bc the class is structured in such a way that I felt like he could have adjusted his teaching methods a bit to suit it. First half of sem is all individual (2 papers), second half is all group (present+pitch), plus one last individual paper.

Houston is the best prof I have ever had! He is very inspirational and likes to get to know his students, even in an online environment. It is very tough to get an A though, since there are no exams; just assignments. However, I learnt so many new skills that I will definitely use in the future! Makes lectures really fun.

Houston did a good job teaching in an online environment. Was always encouraging and gave good feedback to help us do good. Graded reasonably. However, this course is extremely hard to do good in as it requires a lot of effort and time. The work itself is rather time consuming and tedious than hard. Getting a good group matters for this course.

Houston is a good prof. He is extremely passionate about what he teaches and this definitely makes the class more enjoyable. He is also accessible outside of class if you need help.

I loved Houston's class. My one complaint is the TA's who mark your assignments. You either get marked really easy if you get a good TA or one who is insanely difficult (you'd think they'd be more empathetic since they're students too but no). Houston was really sweet as a prof in general and I enjoyed his lectures. Love the prof, hate the TA's.

Excellent professor, could not recommend him more. Very kind and cares a lot about his students. He's passionate about what he teaches and taking a class with him was definitely a highlight of my time at Haskayne.

I had Houston for my ENTI 217 class and thoroughly enjoyed it. He is a very passionate prof who goes out of his way to help his students. The class itself was super valuable and requires you to actually reflect and think about things as apposed to just memorizing content. I would 100% recommend Houston and ENTI 217 to anyone!

Houston is a dawg, had him for ENTI217 (wasn't an option so I just put ENTI317) . He's the best prof I've had and is always available to talk and give you advice. Very well respected and runs the class the way he wants to. If you do all the work at a decent level, you'll get an A+ while also learning a ton of actual useful info about the real world

Very easygoing professor who cares about his students and makes sure to accommodate any reasonable needs that a student may have.

Houston is an excellent prof, it shows that he is passionate for the creativity of business and is very open minded. His criticism on group projects were more helpful than the advisors. Overall great prof, would 100% recommend his class

Loved this class, it really can show your skills and strengths by not having to memorize useless info for tests. Lots of group work, and if you put in effort will succeed.

Houston is a decent professor but a difficult marker when it comes to assignments. Most of the class is on group projects so hope you get a good group. Think of a couple of ideas before classes start. It makes the class a lot easier in the long run. Houston is quick to respond to emails, especially right before assignments are due.

Houston is a great prof who makes the class engaging. The workload is fair, and attending lectures is helpful. ChatGPT and unstuck AI were useful for studying. Overall, a solid class worth taking.

awesome prof! Very nice human being, unlike other profs.

Houston is a great guy, super chill. He is super relatable and passionate about what he teaches and truly wants his students to understand the content.

217. Pass/fail course. Houston is very respectful, funny, easy-going guy. You will always feel welcomed in his class and he cares a lot for his students. The only professor that I currently respect for his effort into making a course better. I love this guy, and you will too.

ENTI 317 is not the easiest course, however Houston was honestly a great guy. I did not have any lengthy interactions but he was nice, very approachable and always willing to field any question about anything (he would gladly give his opinion on bicycles or best chicken wing flavour if you asked and somehow turn it into an ENTI lesson)! Great guy.
