I am not sure what the hype is about "you learn so much from this guy".This class has a workload of 2 classes. Segovis has admitted that if you have time management issues i.e. a job, drop his class.The REAL world does not work like he teaches, the stuff in the book is bogus. People in the real world have no clue about these concepts.Avoid Segovis.

I agree that he is a very intelligent man, and you will learn a great deal if you apply yourself. HOWEVER I strongly recommend taking somebody else for the MGT 200 course, as his expectations are rediculous. He is also at times rude and condescending towards his students. Would consider taking for the upper level courses.

The single worst professor I have ever had in my entire college career. Pompous, self-important, unorganized, and a lack of lecture direction. Gives a highly-detailed syllabus at the beginning of the semester and fails to follow it. Sets standards which he himself does not follow. Handwriting is impossible to read. Favors the girls in the class. F

Thankfully I will be done with this class soon. The project is pointless and takes up a huge amount of time. I don't think he appreciates how hard we work on this. He has a massive ego as well and clearly thinks too highly of himself. Makes management overly difficult when in reality it's common sense. Just save yourself the trouble and avoid him.

For someone so intelligent, the guy can barely get a full sentence out without mixing up his words. Very time consuming class, makes it a lot harder than it has to be. Arrogant is the best way to describe him. Project is a breeze, never checks up on it whatsoever, make sure you have a good looking girl as your manager and you'll do fine

One of the most intelligent and wise professors teaching leadership. Just when you think you have him figured out, he'll dig deeper to give you a truly wonderful and enlightening learning experience. While challenging, the reward is great in terms of knowledge and future potential. A must have professor that you'll regret missing.

Jimmmy Segovs is the best. He is by far one of the chillest teachers ever. His tests are hard and you have to do work but oh well its college. He makes class fun and talks about drinking all the time. If you want to learn and are gonna try and still want to have fun in the mean time, take Segovis.

Not the worst professor out there, but I hate his class. He is somewhat annoying also (especially at 9 AM). Attendance is mandatory, project is worthless and a huge waste of time. Sometimes lectures are informative though. I was somewhat interested in management before this class but will make an effort to avoid it now.

Awesome professor. I had him for a negotiations course. Disregard that claims he has any gender bias. He is tough and you will do a lot of reading. If you don't give him any crap and work hard you'll learn a lot. I can't speak for any of the other courses but the negotiations course was done well and has some serious real world application.

No gender bias noted. Hard, Hard work. Lots of reading (expect 3-4 hrs prior to each class), Hard projects and 3 classes worth of time dedication. Otherwise, quite rewarding, fair grading and dynamic classes with ingenious methods that keep students awake.

Segovis is an amazing professor who will truly care about your success. Do the readings, tie in the readings to your work, participate and you will do well. Yes it is hard but this is college and you're here to LEARN! For seniors, he took us all out to Rentes at the end of the year! He's really a good guy and will work with you if you talk to him.

Segovis is one of those professors who you can't stand at times while you're going through the process, but ultimately you realize that he's an extremely intelligent guy and you are learning so much. a great professor and ultimate professional. Do your work, reading, and PARTICIPATE and you will do fine.

Get to know this professor. He knows more about this topic than many other management professors and has a lot to offer to the field and to your general knowledge. It's a tough class, but if you put in the work, the rewards are worth it. Do the work, prepare for the class and PARTICIPATE, and you'll be fine.

If you are a woman, have an extremely high GPA or in the honors program you should be fine. Those of you with a 2.0-3.4 beware because taking this class will not help your GPA. I have completed 50-60 papers in my college career and all have been above 85 with most above 88. Extremely random grader and I never once received anything close to an A-.

Professor Segovis has an arbitrary grading system. He gives you loads of work in the name of rigor but doesn't even care to grade them, he actually grades assignments three weeks after the semester ends. He is extremely intimidating and authoritative. He is nothing but an unscrupulous, unaccommodating and uncouth professor at the University.

Individual work accounts for only 10 % of grade, yet he gives about 10 memos to write (which he never grades on time). 1 memo 1 pt on the total. He emphasizes too much on team work, but don't take your problems to him, claims to be approachable but isn't. Poor conflict resolution skills, makes more trouble for you for having approached him B-

His teaching styles aren't the best, but I really liked his negotiation class. Very tough grader. Some of us are still wondering why we got a bad grade. Makes you read a lot. Too many memos. Be prepared to slog if you plan to take his class. I don't think we had a great experience as such with this class. Very stressful.

Segovis cares about his students learning and is available to be reached outside the class almost always. That being said MGT200 is supposed to be run exactly the same across all sections and Segovis pretty much does whatever he wants. Very persistent.

Number 1 issue was grading. Professor waited until the end of the term to submit most grades of assignments which were completed early in the semester. He speaks to accountability but does not practice it himself. He is egotistical and clearly misogynistic and his class content would benefit from a different professor.
