Great Prof, Good Stories and always keeps things interesting
Excellent Prof. Excellent Vocabulary (Delineate etc.). NWP
Great prof, doesn't shut up, but usually interesting.
Long winded...
Jim's the man!
Jim's lectures are a pleasure to go to...
Excellent Prof...little use of teaching aids but that's fine with me...
First years will declare him the best, but he's way over rated.

The best teacher I've ever had in university. He's a sports jock at heart
Pretty interesting to listen to in lecture.
He has the best catchphrases "Delineate", "...topics to broach", "Similarly"
I love the stories
Jim Rules!
could this guy be any more full of himself
Awesome guy, awesome class. Refreshemnt from my other boring profs!
He tells WAY too many stories, barely teaches course material. SHUT UP AND TEACH
most likely to be #1 favorite
Great all around guy - interesting stories, great to drink with at Biz Bash :)
I looked forvard to his class, why can't they all be like him?
Really great prof, one of the best!
Talks a lot but interesting. COWBOY
Cheers to this man!
Great guy, great course!
Such a great prof., awesome class!!!!
Great teacher!!! Only teaches what is important.
yada yada yada. Same stories every time!!
Lousy + Talkative = The worst prof
This guy is awesome!!!!!!
Great prof.
very helpful, try to make lectures as interesting as possible, great prof
Great start to the business program at Laurier.
I'm in 3rd Year & he's still the best prof I've had so far
best prof ever.. very sexy
Articulate, Spellbinding lectures, Always holds my attention. The Best!
Great prof!
I really enjoy coming to his class believe it or not.
his class was awesome in 01. boosted me up good.
Great prof, funny and helpful!
I went on to complete an MBA. Jim is likely in the top four profs.
Awesome prof - Great lectures - loves the word facetious - Tells good stories
Best Prof Ever!
Very clear, helpful prof, one of the best!
In the top 10 profs at WLU.
amazing teacher, really cool and helpful but the midterm=KILLER, final-easy
Great guy, great teacher
Awesome prof.
Funny and exciting prof!
great prof, funny interesting
Best prof ever! It wouldnt hurt for some other profs to see how its done
Worth it to take BU111 just to have him as a prof.
Wish I had more profs like him. Also wish he taught other courses.
uses 10 big words when 3 regular words would do, opens class with nonfunny monologues and i think he has a thing against non-bba's. knows his stuff through and through and excellent at explaining, very good at teaching.
Awesome teacher!
Great Prof! Better than Laura.
Jim is great. The best at WLU. He knows his stuff. I love his 'old school' teaching. Hes a regular guy (unlike some crazies in the Arts school aka Len Friesen).
Amazing prof... SO much better than Laura!
Jim is the best prof you'll ever find!! There should be more of him at this school!
No Comments
One of the best university profs. Really quite a character who shows his enthusiasm which really does make the subject quite interesting.
Hey Laura....take notes!
He's great...
Excellent prof teaching a somewhat difficult subject in a way that works! Very motivating speaker!
The best of the best. Laurier should make a statue for Jimmy
funny guy
Jim was one of the highlights of first year. A Laurier institution!
Getting use to reading his writing is the hardest part
Jim is the man. You can tell he brings with him some relevant experience, which adds to the content of the course. His stories and teaching style make the class enjoyable. Great prof!
i love jimmy. hes the best teacher ive ever had!
Great Prof
What can I say. Jimmy is great. Except he's a yankee fan.
Excellent prof. Very helpful to any email inquiries. Fair midterm. (does not mean easy midterm, but Jimmy did give fair warning about it.) Pity he has to be a Yankees fan, or he'd be perfect...
Really nice, funny guy. Makes class interesting. Wish the rest of my profs were like him.
This is definatly one of the best profs at Laurier. He is very helpful and his lectures are rarely boring. Too bad he likes the Yankees.
Funny, gives clear explanations, and generally nice to be around. His main problem is he's so slow. He spends so much time making sure you understand the material that he doesn't finish teaching it. You'll know what he teaches you, but check the text.
Jim Da Man.
Great Guy, explains things very well, only problem is that he sometimes repeats things too many times. Best biz prof around !
Jim is a great guy. His expectations are very clear, and he is a very intriguing speaker. Cares for his students and is extrememly knowledgeable in all aspects of business.
A good prof once he gets past the half-hour story about catching students cheating on exams.
Jim is a great prof because he is interesting and is able to hold students' attention. However, sometimes, he'll spend the first 30 minutes of class marking irrelevant announcements that won't affect your mark. Put that stuff on the website please.
HES A COOL GUY..HES ALWAYS THERE TO HELP OUT HIS STUDENTS
Jim rocks!
Yankees suck! But Jimmy rocks!
JIM IS AMAZING, Period. He has humour, **** and he knows teach students who want to be there. A prof that has a lot going for him and gives it back. Talking with him after class, he is always willing to listen and help you in your carreer! GO JIM!
Gotta have Jim first year. He is the man!
Awesome prof!
excellent
Clutch McCutch!
JIM Is de MAN.. gotta have him in first yr... he makes u luv biz... unlike LAURA ALLAN
Exams are based on lecture material only so you don't need to buy the textbook. He explains things in detail, but mostly just rambles on. Also, skip the first 10 minutes of every lecture because he just talks about useless administrative details that do
Best first year prof; practical; humourous; cares about student success
Enjoyable class; he is a hell of a story teller
Jim McCutcheon, that clear speaking ****! So, so clear. Great teacher. (He is however a member of the New York Yankee bandwagon, which is as risky as a government bond) Nonetheless, you're the man Jim.
I was a student of Jim's in first year, and then a TA working with him last year, and then again this January. Jim truly is an amazing professor. The care he provides his students is amazing, and he is truly a motivating and wonderful educator. Great work Jim :)
The best prof i have ever had or worked for, if you get the chance become a TA just to hang out with him!!! guaranteed laughs
jim's the greatest! my fav class in first yr. he's funni, helpful, and just the best!
Great professor. Very clear.
Keeps you awake in the morning. Cares for the students. Knows what he's talking about. Explains things well.
OMG The best prof ever!
Good prof.
Great Prof! truly identifies with students and isn't snotty like a lot of university prof's can be! Makes lectures interesting and fun to attend, very helpful with advice on assignments. Go to Biz Bash if you can and buy him a shot of JD and a budweiser to show your appreciation!
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat prof.
Great prof!
I hate how his exams are so hard. Business is not about regurgitating information, it's more about application.
Awesome... Explanations about concepts are more than you can ask for. It was a great class even though the exams were difficult-- Watch Out for that Mid-Term!!
Greatest prof ever! The exams are ****es ane you will have to work hard but he makes classes exciting and is very aproachable. He'll make you develop a love hate relationtionship with the business program.
Great prof. very funny, interesting, and a great guy. Exams were tough though and he was a yankees fan:(...overall amazing teacher though.
everyone knows he's the best
Kick A$$ prof!!!!! Also, cool stories!!!
awesome
overrated
Awesome Prof. Understood everything he taught.
Excellent Prof! Great teaching styles, interesting, made business easy, fun, understandable and a great learning experience to start university... Simply made business better...
Too bad he just teached us half course, said he had to go to Harvard for some study there. The replacement is really bad, really really bad. Wish he still teaches us. Very good teacher.
CRAZY!!!, good in first year when i had him complete nut job in the forth year he was like AAHHHHH then he killed us and made us teach ourselves though out half the classes well he napped. Still pretty funny.
in front of the class, told me I had a "fundamental flaw in my learning process" who does that?? He thinks he's very funny: and he's not. He's a jerk
Legend of Laurier. Best prof at Laurier. Ignore any negative comments you've ever heard about him bc he's wicked. Funny seeing him at the bar multiple times throughout the year. Funny **** and loves JD.
Jim is the man! He's the best business prof at WLU!
Jim's a Liason for SBE now (the Dean's eyes and ears) and is becoming actively involved in SBE Clubs (shout out to e-Biz!) Jim loves Laurier like it's his son, he loves the students, the image, reputation, everything, and always wants to do what's best for Laurier and its students. Irreplaceable!

great
What a great professor. He really understands what he's talking about, and even better: he can make US understand it too.
Jim = Le Mann.
Jim is the man, the BEST prof I've had this term, very clear and knows what he's talking about. He's also very approachable and you can tell he loves what he's doing. Great prof!!
He is an amazing prof.
Jim is a great lecturer and he should be, considering its business he is teaching and in business you will learn the importance of presentatinos. The biggest plus is that the questions on the exam come exclusively from his lectures. But if you are incompitent at taking lecture notes, you will fail, perhaps. Repeats key points and gives many hints.
Jim's such an adorable man. He loves his students, and is always willing to lend a helping hand when needed. His midterm is impossible, and his final isn't that great either. But overall, he's a cute and adorable man.
Great Prof
Jim was one of the best teachers/professors I've ever had. Yes, the midterm is supposed to be tough, but it's possible to ace it if you just work a little bit. Can't say enough good things about this guy, I hope he teaches for years to come and that I run into him in the upper years.

Jim is the type of Prof that you mould your class schedule after. He's an entertaining "dude" who can teach well. When you are in his class, it feels like one of your buds is teaching the material
Probably one of the single greatest lecturers I've listened to. VERY helpful (send him an email, he responds in great detail, and fast) Midterm was challenging, but definately do-able. I suppose it was kind of ment to separate the men from the boys! There is no excuse not to get at least an A if you listen/ do the work.
man...if i could have one prof for any class it would be jim, the guy is amazing, he makes you want to go to class...wow is all i have to say...hats off to you buddy
Awesome prof. The real question is, "Did Jim really do it?"
great!!!
Great prof. But have to work hard to get grades.
Amazing! interesting! Lectures cover information in depth! but he is very personable and always willing to help! You can basically expect a response by e-mail in a few hours...my best prof soo far!
great guy
great guy, enthusiastic even boring topics he tries to bring life to, probably one of my favourites
Simply awesome
Most interesting and certainly the FAIREST prof I have had. Doesn't throw any curveballs on exams and is always willing to help out. Class Act!
Awesome guy! Is fair and is extremely specific in telling us what is on the exam. The tests are challenging, but possible to do well if you study enough. Great lecturer and is funny too.
sick teacher
Best Prof by far at Laurier. He's a great guy, very interesting and just an awesome teacher to have. He is the man! His midterm was hard so have to study well for that but his final was easy
Jimmy is awesome. Way better than Masterman too.
great guy u will love him
My favourite prof so far.
He is a nice guy. Midterm is extremly hard so make sure you study study study for it...i actually get it back today and am terrifed to see how i did...but yeah he is a nice guy, always clear about whats on tests, and interesting to listen to. It would be nice if he just got to the point every once and a while but other than that hes a nice guy:)
My favourite prof, by far!
He's a good prof... the midterm was ridiculously hard though. My TA ruined the class for me, but Jim was a good prof.
Great prof.! Really supportive in e-mails and encouraging. The midterm was ridiculously hard though make sure you study well in advanced!!
I thought that he was a very cocky person. Although he was a good teacher, i would avoid him again if possible.
Great prof. Nothing like Laura Allan
he is so boring in class.
Great prof. Keeps class interesting with games and always has good stories.
Didn't care for him at all. He put me to sleep quite often.
Attendance in lectures, definitely mandatory as this is the only place Jim pulls from for exam questions. If its from any of the readings he will tell you, gives a full exam review of what to study. Amazing prof, and a great way to start the BBA program at Laurier!
Attend all classes cause there are white board notes. Memorize everything to do well. I spent 1 1/2 day memorizing and I got the top mark in my lab for midterm(75.5%). Final exams suppose to be easier and is free marks.
Lectures were fun & interesting, but attendance is definitely mandatory since he likes to use the whiteboard (not available for download) and that's where Jim gets most of his exam questions. If it's from the readings he will tell you and gives a full exam review of what to study. Amazing prof, and a great way to start the BBA program at Laurier!
Jim's ma boy! He is the most friendly prof I've met so far, and is really clear on exam content. GO TO LECTURES and you'll be fine!
One of the greatest prof.indulges ones interest in the subject
He's a very good prof, helps u understand material very well. Speaks clear and good english. Definatly one of my better profs.
Amazing Prof! hes never not smiling! haha, definitely in my top 3 teachers ever. Sad to see him retire.
Fantastic Prof. If you attend lectures you'll do fine on the exams. Interesting course as well.
Amazing prof. really helps you hit the ground running in first year. Wish he didn't decide to retire after this year. Hope he changes his mind and decides to come back and teach for a few more years.
Great!
