He is very enthusiastic and encourages class participation, but sometimes doesn't discourage people who participate a little too much. Gives a lot of non-textbook reading which is good as the book is very dull. A good guy overall but class could have a bit more emphasis on marketing and less on management.

Great prof. Hillarious guy, made the dull marketing management topic a little more interesting. Lots of reading material that is covered on exams, but if you read it you'll do fine. More focused on management than marketing.

Best professor I ever had in my life. I dont think he will teach again in baruch, but if he does - take him at all costs! Not only is he fun, energetic, and interesting, he is also an easy grader. I dont know anyone who did not get an A. Only thing is that he takes things personally, but thats because he cares. So do not even think of cheating

A very easy man, wall st journal is a must, textbook is up to you, but there will be questions on the test from the textbook. Most of his lectures are from experiences, test is not easy but we should make some effort as student.

Very nice and teaches useful topics. You must take notes! There are 3 exams that are from lecture, wall street journal articles and the textbook.

If you are going to take MGT3120, I STRONGLY advise you to take James Walsh. This man is by far the best professor. He makes class very interesting. All you need to do to pass his class is to be there and take notes. That's it...period.

Prof Walsh is the man! He keeps u laughing all the time with all his experiences n his gestures. Once he teaches u the stuff you dont need to study to do well hes just that good! u must take NOTES! The journals are not that bad but the book really sucks.. 3 tests 70-100 t/f questions from notes, book n journal. He just wants u to learn n have fun

I really enjoy taking this class; excited, nice & funny professor. There are 3 exams: 70-100 T/F ques. He curves and the questions are easy. I used to study the day before and always had B-B+. You just have to know the material and you'll fine. 100% recommended.

He is by far THE BEST PROFESSOR I'VE ever had. He will teach you material that you can always refer to. He is one of a kind, def RECOMENDED!

THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! YOU'LL HAVE SO MUCH FUN IN HIS CLASS. LAST SEMESTER IT WAS THE ONLY CLASS THAT I ENJOYED SO MUCH! PEOPLE, TAKE HIM!!!

Excellent professor. Lots of opportunity to learn valuable things related to practical life.

he is great prof with experience.knows how to make it funny and easy to comprehend.highly recommended

By far, the best MGT prof at Baruch. He has ample experiences that are great examples to the topics he covers in class. Out of all the professors I have taken at baruch, Prof Jim Walsh is the best I have taken and most likely will take. The students in previous posts just don't understand how lucky they are to have such a extraordinary professor.

Will make you laugh in every class. He's so energetic and enthusiastic towards this subject. I learned a lot from him, he doesn't try to teach you the book, he has his own notes too. You have to come to class to take down notes bc they will be on the exams. 2 exams & 1 final. Enjoyed going to every class, you will NOT be bored. Studied hard, got A.

obviously those that gave him negative feedback were those that never showed up for class or those that don't study. The exams are a bit tricky bc they are mostly T/F questions but if you study and study enough than you are able to get a good grade. He's one of the best prof I had this semester. Really enjoyed his class and learned a whole lot.

Very funny guy. It's like going to a comedy club in the morning. He has a lot of positive energy and gives good examples to demonstrate mgt. scenarios. His only flaw is -his exams. They' re tricky and sometimes ask questions that were not covered during lectures. Tip: if you see a question on exam that you definately know did not appear in lectures

He teaches good, he's very entertaining in class, and craks a lot of jokes which makes the class a lot of fun. But he's very DISORGANIZED. He'll say the final will be one way but then its the opposite. We spent 30min. trying to fix the questions on the final during the final. Who does that? THE BOTTOM LINE IS HIS DISORGANIZATION HURTS URE GRADE.

Very funny professor!! Learned a lot from him. His exams are a bit unorganized, sometimes his questions are unrelated to what we covered but all you have to do is tell him and he will take those off the exam. I studied a lot for this class but the material isn't boring, it's very useful for those going out to the business world. Highly recommended!

he is such a nice person but soem time i dont understand why he acts soo rude i mean when we get test back he makes soo many error n he endup saying that its not fair ppl who got A ..no extra credit i understand his point but be honest i love his lecture but he is not good grade he makes soo many errors n he never give u credits for those error..

His classes were very interesting. Unlike many other professors, he wasn't just following the book. Exams, however, were very confusing. You'll have to read Wall Street Journal and study the book by yourself. I got an A, but was frustrated by the tests. All in all -- I enjoyed the class.

Hey is a really nice and funny guy. His lectures were really interesting and I enjoyed going to his class. His exams were pointless and very unfair. His grading system made no sense! He's overrated! He definitely favors honors students and will never fail them, but his grading system needs a lot of work.

It is a very fun class. His exam is pretty fair. It covers his notes, text book and wall streeet journals that he assigns. You will have a lot of group interaction as you will have to do a couple to a few case studies with your group. He makes the lectures pretty interesting with his anictodes. He is a great guy. He actually took picture with our e

One of the best classes I've taken. You will not learn what he teaches in the book. Work load is fairly light, test are fair (there's a curve, so quit complaining about a handful of ambiguos questions people!). I've learned a lot of life lessons that I will follow from him....he's very good at passing on his experience/wisdom.

Very nice professor. The class is very unique and entertaining. There is a lot of role playing in the class, which is very funny and educating. The exams are not difficult, but the truth is that some questions seem subjective and kind of tricky. Take good notes and you'll do well. You'll learn a lot.

I found this class useful, both lectures and book. Attendance is important. Take good notes: his lectures appear on 2 multiple choice exams. 2-3 mentoring papers, 2-3 short essays, 3-4 group cases. I found instruction for papers a bit confusing, but otherwise a good class. Old school prof, high ethics standards. Likes name dropping, though:-).

very interesting class.. good fun, easy exams. teaches alot about the corporate world. submit all assignments on time, read the book careful and an A grade is easy to achieve.

Fun class and easy grader. very manageable for an ethics class. gets a little boring at times, especially if you've taken another course with him before coz most of the study material (his notes) are the same. Easily manage an A grade

He is the best! lol you can never tell an old man has a lot of energy. A midterm, a final, and a debate: 30% each. 10% for 2 papers. He is pretty straight forward, he tells you "exactly" what and how he wants the work to be done.

Walsh is great! He can def come across as odd/corny sometimes but he's got a great attitude about things. He gives a lot of advice from work/life experiences and while it seemed preachy at times I must admit he was right on about a lot of things. Interesting guy and interesting class!

interesting class but not easy. have to work hard, do papers, read the wsj, copy all his slides & pay attention. u never know when he's going to come over & start role playing. midterm, final, case studies, mentor papers, an extra book, textbook, wall st journal, group movie project/presentation. lots of reading but good ones. i liked him.

Professor Walsh is AWESOME! One of the best and most passionate teachers at Baruch. Get him if you can! Grade is based on Harvard Business School case write ups (great exposure!), mentor assignments, the midterm, the final, and a group presentation on a movie. prepare for that presentation and you're set! He's a pleasure to have been a student for.

If you are going to get anywhere in life, you won't have trouble with this professor. Although his workload is a bit higher then that of other management classes, don't let someone who can't properly speak English fool you into thinking he's a horrible professor. The things you learn in his class will become VERY valuable in your future workplace.

Professor Walsh is the best professor I have ever had at Baruch. He is extremely knowledgeable about this topic. He doesn't just teach from the slides but explains each point thoroughly. He is very straightforward and there will be a lot of work in the class. If you participate, do the work, and bang out a presentation, you should do well.

All the negative comments are people that didn't put effort into the class. It's one of the best classes I've ever taken. I put in all the work, studied, did the assignments, and was able to get an A. Great professor, worth taking, only class that matters. If you're a lazy bum and want an easy A, then no this class isn't for you.

Professor Walsh is AWESOME! One of the best and most passionate teachers at Baruch. Get him if you can! He's a pleasure to have been a student for.

This class is easy if you do all the work. If you're unwilling to put forth the effort, then yes your grade will suffer. But getting an A is not impossible. Great Class, Great Professor. Recommend to all!

I'm really upset to see such horrible reviews on this professor. I busted my ass last semester, and although he had a lot of work, it was well worth it. I got an A in the class, and learned so much from him. Everyone else just wants a free ride.

Professor Walsh is hypocritical, degrading toward women, and outdated. On opinion assignments if he doesn't agree you fail. Very strict attendance policy and doesn't care if you're sick or in the hospital. Doesn't interact through email... btw I have a 4.0 so this certainly isn't about not being willing to do the work. He's just terrible.

expects a lot from students but liked that about his teaching style.Its rare to come across a professor with extensive on the job experience in the field he teaches.took his class last semester, ddn't appreciative as should have, but new work environments made me gain extreme respect A-Z for what he taught-he will teach lessons for life- TAKE HIM!

Excellent professor, he teaches with real life experience and stories. Keeps the class engaged and interested. There is quite a bit of work to do but it is simple and doable. Got an A

he is pretty good, just do your work which is not alot, and get your grade. a lot of people got A's

not bad. just do your work and read the book for the exams. brings interesting stories to class. work is easy and exams are fair. grades fairly too

really good professor. teaches with real life experience and prepares you well for your future. keeps the class interesting with his stories and current events. really easy and excellent professor. easy exams and extra credit.

best professor for mgt. teaches you useful insightful things that you can actually use in life. easy work load, a midterm and a final. really easy going and willing to help

He is GREAT!!! His classes are fun and entertaining, he knows his stuff and tries to make people like it the way he does it. Gives extra credit assignments, exams are fair, he wants everyone to succeed and get a good great. I was reading the text book but it is not mandatory. you can still ace the test. just do the work. He is worth it.

yes the class requires some effort but you would want to do the work. the class is easy and the professor is good. exams are straightforward and fair. goes out of his way to help you. do your part as a student and get an easy A.

The best class I have taken in Baruch! Great Prof. Strict on discipline, but if you really want to learn, take him. He is smart, funny, charismatic,energetic and will definitely make an impression on your life. We had couple assignments, 3 HBR case studies, and a presentation on management within a movie. Take him, you wont regret it.

TAKE WALSH! Loved the class & the professor. This guy is the real deal. He is very engaging, entertaining, full of stories and funny. He will prepare you for the real world! This class is a game changer. Highly recommend!!!!

Brilliant professor, definitely the best professor or teacher I've ever had. Only got a B but that was because I half-assed the assignments. Even though I didn't get the best grade, I left the class knowing more about myself than I did before. Gives a lot of work but it's totally manageable.Definitely a must-take.

Great professor and his class is extremely interesting. He does give a little bit of work but everything is extremely reasonable. Take advantage of this class

He is enthusiastic and keeps the class entertained. The work load is manageable. Don't be late handing assignments in because he won't accept it. Midterm and final were both 100 question mc, but it's not hard. Textbook wasn't used for class, but you will have to know it for the exams. He gives out questions too. Take him if there's an opening!

Course requires a lot of work and make sure you are never late! The professor is a funny old guy, he has lots of knowledge and you will learn a ton but his old-school style isn't for everyone.

Honestly, I'm a solid 3.27 student and when I tell you this is a good class, it is. He's really funny. Does give a good amount of work but it's not Baruch High School. Great life lessons.

Walsh is definitely a character. He's enthusiastic every class and very likable as a professor. His class is tough though and you will work a lot in this class, it's not your typical mgt class cuz he's not a typical professor. Hie has a strict grading policy however, so stay away if you care about your gpa. Take another mgt prof if you can!

GREAT PROFESSOR A LOT OF WORK BUT YOU WILL LEARN A LOT WITH HIM

Professor Walsh is by far the best management professor at Baruch. He is very wise and you will get real life experience in his class. He does assign A LOT of work, so if you are not a hard working student stay away. You will definitely learn how to be a better manager in this class, especially with his “Manage this” examples.

Amazing Professor that can potentially change your life. Drops wisdom by the bucketload. Fun, Interesting, engaging professor that takes his time out to shape his students. All students came out of class better than they entered it. Probably best professor in Baruch. However, he has no BS policy

Just read the textbook they provide in the library. Go to class. Professor Walsh will change the way you work. You'll have a lot of work cut out for you but the work you put in and the lessons you gain are fulfilling and worth it. Would recommend (at least once!)

He makes you work hard, but it's worth it. You learn so much about yourself as a professional and how to deal with others in the workplace. He teaches real life lessons that help you land a job. He's tough and brutally honest, but it pays off. I would take another class with him, no doubt.

Old school professor. Tough, brutally honest (as someone already suggested), and strict. He has his point of view and very rarely, if at all, will change it. However, he will listen to you, he will coach you, he will cheer you (never seen a professor so enthusiastic after someone's presentation), and he will push you to the limits. You will learn.

Professor Walsh is a hell of a teacher. He is nice, but firm. He walks his talk. Furthermore, his lectures are filled with segmentsManage this, Hire me, Interviews, and others, real life stories, and examples that make them more entertaining and enjoyable. Expect to work a lot--about 3 times as an easy A class--but you will not regret at the end.

Prof. Walsh is very inspirational. I walked away with a B+ from the class, but I don't regret taking the class at all. The Harvard case studies are the hardest part of the class. Make sure to take really good notes to ace the exams. He has a very strict policy on being late! If you submit anything even 30 seconds late, he WILL NOT accept it.

He changed my life. Cares about his students. Gives great feedback. Teaches real life lessons. Best professor at Baruch! Take his class . You will learn a lot about yourself and about life. Be prepared to work hard -- it's well worth the effort.

Professor Walsh is the toughest professor I ever had in my life. I got teary eyes on my last day of class. I did not want to leave his class. He is inspirational. I am truly blessed to have taken his class. I have learned many lessons that I know will help me in my life.

You're in for an ass kicking but he is an amazing professor and great person. He is funny and inspirational best class I've had.

Very strict with punctuality. Three Harvard Case Studies, graded primarily on the issues you identify. Doesn't matter if your writing is beautiful. Midterm and final 100 MC each based on WSJ articles assigned in class, readings, etc. One group project: slides should be as SHORT as possible (work on your speech), technology needs to run PERFECTLY.

Awesome professor who changed the way I see the world. I learned a lot about myself and life. Classes move at a good pace with lots of interesting segments. The lessons he teaches will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Highly Recommend ! MBA level Professor!!! Baruch must consider hiring more professors like him.

Prof Walsh is very direct. You will work hard. Worth the effort. You will learn about life (and business). He honestly changed my life. He genuinely cares about his students and wants to see them succeed. Take him!!!

Professor Walsh was the best professor I've had at Baruch so far. He truly cares about his students and has great life lessons to teach. Although the work may at times be tedious, it has really taught me to be a better presenter and writer. Expect no bs from him because he's the realest. Thank you Professor Walsh for a great semester!

He changed my life. Thank you so much. I wish I could take his classes each semester, because he teaches first of all how to be a great person, which definitely improves your overall being and grades in other courses. I would never expect to meet someone as great as pr. Walsh in our university. Wish to become like him.

Baruch needs more professors like Walsh. Why aren't there more???? Best professor ever. Take everything he teaches.

Such an amazing professor! He genuinely cares about each of his students and his lectures are beyond AMAZING. Has such a great sense of humor and make sure he engages everyone is class discussions. He teaches real life lessons that every person can use in the workplace. Definitely an eye opener class! He is an amazing professor. Highly Recommend!!!

The guy is one in a million. There will never be another James Walsh to walk this earth and thats okay. If youre not a schmuck that expects grades to be handed to you youll be inspired by Professor Walsh. He is a textbook manager and if he doesnt directly impact you you didnt get enough out of his class.

So today was the last day of class with professor Walsh! And we were all so sad! Professor Walsh is AMAZING, so caring and loving to each and every one of his students . He genuinely wants everyone to succeed and do their best and pushes and motivate everyone to. He is so inspiring and his lectures are beyond amazing! Most loving professor ever !!!

Professor Walsh is amazing! He treats everyone as if we are the IBM employees. We got challenged with great Harvard Business School case studies, mentorship projects and movie projects. I've learned a lot and I'm sure that THIS class actually will help me to succeed in my career. A lot of tips and role play were a lot of fun and he the same time!

A+ teacher. learn a lot. Definitely recommend.

Best professor at Baruch. I was on the waiting list for his class. So happy I got in. His reputation for his knowledge and wisdom is well deserved. I have already learned more in two weeks from Professor Walsh than I have in entire terms in most of my classes.

Walsh is the most inspiring professor I have had a Baruch. Wish he taught more courses. I would take them all. His wisdom is incredible. Take his class and learn about real life in the real world.

A+++ professor. Have never felt so much warmth in a class.

Best professor ever. Baruch should clone Professor Walsh. Have never gotten so much out of a course.

Prof Walsh is the best professor I have had at Baruch. Why aren't there more great professors like him? Yes, he has high expectations, but he inspires you to meet those expectations.

Professor Walsh is really a gem of Baruch. Baruch is one of the best public college and there are only few professors who work for it. He is one of them. He will prepare you for the business world and let you know your quality. He might be tough at first but once you pass that you will want to come to his class every single day.

I'm in the Honors Program. I expect to get the best professors Baruch has to offer. No Professor has been better than Walsh . He is the best I have ever had. Interesting and useful lectures. I will take what I learned from him to guide me through my career and the rest of my life.

Professor Walsh's class changed my life. He made me understand what I am capable of if I set my goals high enough. Shares incredible real world experience that is applicable to all parts of life. Take his class!

Tough professor but he will motivate you to get an A in the class. Do the work and participate in class. Gives many life lessons throughout the course.

This class changed my life. It made me realize what I'm capable of. This class is FULL of real-world examples. Didn't touch the textbook, but lectures given were interesting enough to easily fill 3 hours on a Friday. Be prepared to step out of your comfort zone, to be challenged. You will learn SO MUCH if you are willing. Best prof @ Baruch so far.

I expect a lot from the Honors program, and I got it from Walsh. He prepared me for business and life. So much wisdom. His real world experience is something I have not gotten from other professors at Baruch. He is the best of the best.

TAKE THIS MANS CLASS

Best professor I have ever had. Take his class.

Professor Walsh has so much wisdom. I am using what I am learning in job interviews - and it works. Best professor in Baruch. TAKE HIM.

His lectures are the best part. He keeps you interested for the hour and 15 mins. However, your grade is 25% midterm, 25 final, 25 grouppresentation, 25 case studies. Real tough grader. If u dont write whats in HIS head, youll get a C or a B. So much group work, choose groups wisely! Warning: You get graded on your worst performer.

Amazing professor. So much wisdom. Need more professors like him!

Only professor I have had at Baruch with real world experience. You will not only learn about managing others, but also about managing yourself. A++++++++ Professor.

There are 3 group case study, a group presentation, midterm and final. Get the RIGHT (lazy people will hurt your grade) people on your team for both the case studies and presentation and you'll do well. For the presentations BE CREATIVE and Wow him. If your team can present first I suggest you do so since each successive presentation gets harder.

I was on the waitlist to get into his class, and I am still grateful I was able to get into his class. I know I got the job I have because of what I learned from Professor Walsh. He is one of a kind. Take him. He will change your life.

Amazing professor. Best at Baruch! Take him.

This man deserves a 4.0 rating, I haven't learnt more in any other class, PS: dont get scared from everything he says on the first day, hes a great professor who pushes you slightly out of your comfort zone.

Best class I have ever taken at Baruch. Teaches Management and teaches real life. Baruch needs more management professors like him instead of all,of those who only teach from a book I took him for 3120 and raced to get into MGT4880 when I saw he was teaching it too. Pushes you to be the best you can be.

Take Professor Walsh. He doesnt just teach management. He teaches life. Best Professor I have ever had.

Professor Walsh is an amazing professor and if I could take the class again, I would. He set high expectations for his students and treated us with respect. There was never a moment I did not want to be in the class, it was that inspiring. Everything that Professor's Walsh said held a lot of value and wisdom.

Amazing lectures from his 50 years of research. Honors class, so there are no slackers. He has high expectation, which is tough at first sight, but high expectation will lead to high result. Mentor project help you improve your networking. 3 case studies, 2 noncumulative exams, no textbooks, WSJ articles, 1 film presentation. A+++ Prof!

Absolutely amazing professor, 2 exams, 3 case studies and a film presentation. Enjoyed almost every second of his class, very funny and teaches more than just management. 10/10 would take again.

This class was really useful. He's tough but hilarious and cares about the students. Midterm, Final (noncumulative). 3 HBR Cases and 1 final group presentation. Do the work, find good team members and you'll get a good grade. GO TO CLASS because tests are based on lectures and he uses a projector so you better write fast. Don't buy the textbook.

TAKE THIS MANS CLASS HE IS AMAZING. dude. he is so funny like he doesnt even try but he is hilarious. I have also never retained so much real life knowledge from any other class.

Take his class. Take his class. This is my last year at Baruch, and no other professor has come close to Walsh. Amazing experience that he shares with class. Sets high expectations, but makes you want to live up to them. Take his class. If he doesnt impact you, there is something wrong with you.

He is funny and his lectures are inspiring. He does show a little sexism but overall, he is not bad. Be ready to do a lot of group work though. You can select your group every time and you have to select different group every case study. His way of teaching does consist slight humiliation but that's how you learn. Would take again. EASY A.

Pros: If he corrects you is for you can grow as a human and better your skills for when you graduate and start your career. Cons: His assistant is very rude and does not read emails on time. I personally believe that they should be more reasonable with us because we are living in a time were the world is going through a tough situation. Take care

Professor Walsh is the best Professor I have had at Baruch. I would be willing to bet he is the best Professor at Baruch. Teaches how to manage yourself and your life. Buckets of wisdom from this man. I wish he taught more courses. Extremely motivating and inspiring.

Prof shares boatloads of wisdom. Dont know who the person on April was rating. Not Professor Walsh. Never heard a bad word from him about anyone. Treats us like adults and sets high expectations . He is the best. Take him.

Professor Walsh clearly cares about is students . He sets high expectations-not just for the course but for students success in careers and life. Gives us the tools for managing others and managing ourselves

Awesome Professor. Best Professor I have ever had at Baruch. Teaches management lessons that apply to work and life, in general. The man imparts boatloads of wisdom.

This course changed my life. Professor didnt just teach management, he taught life. He wants to see his students grow and succeed. Take him!

Professor Walsh is the absolute best professor I have had! This is the only class I actually look forward to. His management lessons come from real life and apply to real life. Take him!

Best professor I have had at Baruch. I actually look forward to his class. He shares buckets of wisdom and life lessons both for managing others as well as myself.

A truly inspirational professor. He brings life into online classes. He loves communicating with students. And his ability to relate personal stories into his lessons is incredible.

One of the best professors I've had in this entire school, would definitely recommend taking him. His lectures bring a very practical perspective and overall he's very wise and experienced. Lectures aren't boring and he has great insight into whatever you ask of him. Definitely take him!

Professor Walsh is the best professor Ive had in Baruch and strays away from the traditional teaching style. Hes caring and actually gives amazing feedback to his students. I love this class and think that there should be more professors that have unconventional teaching habits because his class was a breath of fresh air.

He is an amazing professor that uses case studies to teach the class. Everything that he has taught us is applicable to the workplace unlike some of the other classes at Baruch. He gives 3 case studies and a presentation - it's a very interactive class, but you learn so much from Professor Walsh.

Hands down one of the best professors at Baruch, he is very caring, nice and funny. His classes consist of case studies, homeworks, group projects and interactive engagement exercises with real world examples. Easy A as long as you cooperate. I love this professor and hope others have the ability to take him as well. 10/10 a real gift.

Prof Walsh is the best professor I have had at Baruch. The man teaches about life as well as management. Doesnt read slides to you like a robot - like every other Professor. If he taught 100 courses I would take them all.

Amazing professor. Walsh teaches using past managerial experiences. Furthermore, he makes class interactive and practical while being fun unlike other classes where professors just read off the slides. You would definitely learn a lot from him.
