Brother Burt is one of those teachers that give you a few big projects during the semester, but he definitely helps you along the way. He's super chill, but has so much knowledge, too! Learn from him and take the class as if you are going to run a small business and you will learn lots of little tips and tricks.

Brother Burt is an awesome teacher that makes class fun. His class is mostly based on case studies, which I was not a huge fan of, but they helped learn and I liked the personal experiences that he shared during class. One hard thing is that you had to talk during class, so if you are afraid to participate in group discussions, I would reconsider.

I took a case study class from him. The case studies were quick reads, and it was really easy to go off of the vibe of the class for participation. Bro Burt has a really laid-back approach it seemed--probably because he is a busy business man. Don't expect feedback from him, he defiantly uses TA's. The final is interesting--not easy to prepare for.

Brother Burt is a great professor and really knows his stuff. All of you grade comes from case studies and participation. There is a final project due at the end that needs to be worked on throughout the semester (its easy). Easy A if you participate and do the work. TA does all the grading.

In every class you're expected to contribute to the discussion. This can be annoying sometimes, but if you really prepared before class, it's pretty easy to participate. At the end of the semester, there's a group project where you help a real client and their business. It's lots of work but not too bad. The professor is always very respectful.

Jared Burt is knowledgeable and approachable. He is open to ideas and suggestions. He conducted this class primarily through class participation instead of lectures, and you were required to read a case study and prepare materials for class discussion.

Great professor. For the first couple of months you read a case study (a few pages) before class, answer a few questions about it, and have a discussion about it in class. Participation gets you points so contribute to each discussion. The last month of class you work with a real client to help their business. Easy A if you just do the work.

Participation is 30% of your grade (which is a lot). I spent all semester only listening to 4-5 different people overpower everyone else because they want to get an A. People would repeat what the one student said, just to get points. The class is based more on opinions than facts, I heard way too many random stories that didn't apply whatsoever.
