If you are an HR major, take this class elsewhere - Mishra is horrible

don't bother going to class, just read the book, can not speak good english

This guy doesn't know what he's doing, avoid him like the plague

He Stinks!! Easy to get good grade, but you learn NOTHING!!!

Worst prof I have ever taken, drop at all costs if you want to learn anything

impossible to understand, wont learn a thing, but he gives a huge curve!

If i took his test blindfolded i would still get the same grade

If it weren't for his huge curve and easy grading this class would be hell. His syllabus is impossible to understand, as are his lectures. You will be put into a group to write a 15 page paper on a set topic, which is far too much work. Take it too boost your GPA, because you won't learn anything

He is so unclear with what he wants. You finish writing the paper and then AFTER he tells you the way you should've gone with it. His tests are virtually impossibly because he just assumes you know the stuff.

holy crap, how does this guy have a job at GV? or any english speaking college? do not take him, he is so unclear!!!!

OH MY GOD, get out!! get out while you still can!!!he has no idea whats going on,and the papers are effin' crazy!

Do not take him, you can not undrstand anything he says :(

Avoid him! His lectures make no sense and NOTHING on the test is from them. Just read the book, don't attend class. Exams are crazy, and he adds 15-25% with the curve because otherwise everyone would fail. If you have a problem with your group, you're out of luck cuz he won't help at all.

cant understand a word he says

i cannot stress this enough...AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!! he's AWFUL! boring, hard to understand. TONS of group work. exams are brutal. you think you know what's going on until the tests are handed out and you're like "uh...what is this?" in all seriousness, this guy is horrible and an AWFUL communicator. the only plus is you dont need to be in class.

Funny guy, but impossible to understand. If you ask him a question, you'll get a completely incoherent answer. Lectures could not be more pointless and tests are very difficult, especially when he writes them himself. Thanks goodness for the huge curve. Overall, I laughed a lot in class but learned nothing.

Class was pointless due to the incoherent lectures. You will need to go to class still b/c he reserves a percentage of the grades for "class participation". Make sure to purchase the textbook. International versions available online will work. the only difference is the page numbers. study for exams from the book and outlines. I don't recomend him.

AVOID!!! I would rather have my period gushing from my eye sockets 5 times a day every day than sit through his horrid class again. I have no time for ignorant professors who spend their time yappin' about God knows what. I was taking MGT 466 next semester with a female prof...then they switched classes and he's teaching it...I drop that class!

DON'T TAKE HIM! He's a nice guy, but incredibly unclear. You don't learn ANYTHING yet you have to attend class which was always deathly boring. If you must take him, DON'T sign up to be in group 1 (he tells the 1st group what he really wants from the group project -- stuff not mentioned in the syllabus). Hated this class because of him.

If you want to improve your GPA then take him, if you don't want to teach yourself all the material then don't. He tries to be helpful but it does the opposite. The lectures are useless & consist of "Women don't like to travel," "China copies everything," and excessive boyfriend/girlfriend examples. Read the book.

One of the worst professors at GV i've ever had. We spend all class trying to understand what we have to do for our projects. He makes you do a group case presentation that sounds like a ton of work at first, but its really easy if you split it up amongst the group. Rambles about how theres "no free rides" and how he refuses to have essay exams.

Horrible teacher. Not a GPA booster. He grades on a large curve, but that curve takes you from a 25% to a 50%. Doesn't make sense, and makes the topic much more confusing than it should be. Take someone else.

Can hardly understand a word he says. Never lectures and if he does its about random stuff that isn't on the exam. Must read and teach yourself to do well, does grade on a curve. Exams are right from the book. He is very knowledgeable about what he teaches, however if he cant communicate that knowledge to students, it's time for him to retire.

The WORST teacher I have had at Grand Valley. I have never written one of these before, but he has inspired me. EXTREMELY unclear on assignments, and do not ask him a question or you are "being defensive". Was very rude to my class and my group. If you want to learn nothing, feel free to take this class, but you better get the book.

Warning: Will talk about a topic that upsets him for three or more weeks. Case in point, emails form Michele Obama asking for money that he showed us even During an exam. Oh and being disowned. 15+ group paper Angry little balding man Heavy accent Yells when approached for more information Asks questions often and not open to wrong answers

He is very hard to understand and his tests don't make any sense. His grading is not even close to consistent so you never know how your grade will turn out. Also he does a lot with group projects and you keep the same group the whole time so if you do not work well with your group it could be a challenge. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

Avoid if possible. Extremely unclear; he does not describe any of the projects clearly including, expectations and due dates. Disorganized. Asks for questionsfeedback, yet, becomes defensive and combative during his responses. Class truly feels like a waste of time. Exams are multiple-choice and allows some notes.

One of the most frustrating Profs I've run into. Impossible to understand, heavy accent. Terrible at answering questions & explaining ANYTHING. Reads off Book PPTs & what he calls Lecture PPTs which is more like multiple pages up irrelevant jumbled up text. I found his attitude towards students asking for help, mainly clarity, very rude.

Mishra was the worst professor I have ever had at my four years at Grand Valley. His lectures make absolutely no sense, and the whole class is on their computers, phones, or doing other homework because they are of no use. His assignments and course outline can not be understood, and he gets very defensive if you as him for questions or help.

It's honestly hard to put Mishra into words. Words are too good for this man. He is absolutely horrible, by far the worst professor I have ever had. His lectures are him reading off the powerpoint and getting angry at students when they ask questions. By the end of the semester, listening to him talk is like nails on a chalk board. DO NOT TAKE!

TERRIBLE PROFESSOR! You can't understand his accent at all. The whole class consists of him partially reading his powerpoints that have poor grammar and him just saying "you can read this later, i give you all the notes" His test are 60 multiple choice with random numbers we never went over in class. Do not take this class with him!

Worst Prof I've ever had at GVSU. Extremely unclear in every aspect of the class imaginable. Tests contained detailed info that is very difficult to retain especially from his lectures. Projects are a nightmare since he's impossible to get any useful help from. DO NOT TAKE HIM

He is very hard to understand. I learned nothing in his lectures mainly because all he would do was repeat useless info about the management department and how they don't like his teaching style. Learned more from reading the book. Does drop the lowest exam grade.

Professor Mishra was the worst professor I've had since starting at GV. His lecture powerpoints were useless but students would get reprimanded if they attempted to scribble down anything he was saying (which you couldn't understand). Do not take him for this course if you want to actually learn/get a grade above a C.

Only 2 weeks in but you can't understand anything he says

I am surprised he is still a professor at Grand Valley. Absolutely terrible. He reads right from the power points and doesn't like when you take notes. I only showed up on exam days because going to class was a complete waste of time and I still got a B+.

Jitendra Mishra is by far the worst professor I have had at GVSU. He is very out of touch with his students. He lost the focus of his class on the fist day. He rambles on and on for the class period without fully explaining the material. He is extremely hard to understand with his accent and he is a very quite speaker. please do not take this prof.

Mishra's intent is to make the class easy, but his attempts are in vain. He is very hard to understand and is not receptive at all to questions of any sort. His lecture slides are too wordy and useless during lectures, and he claims the connect system which comes with the book "held a monopoly" over the course in spite of the fact it worked well.

One of the worst professors I have had to date. Extremely difficult to understand. His lectures are a complete mess, and it's impossible to take notes. No one pays attention in class, there is no point to. I've studied a ton for each exam, and have yet to get above a C. 85% the class gets C's & D's. Certainly NOT a GPA booster. AVOID at all costs

Possibly the worst professor I've had at Grand Valley. He barely speaks english, cannot form complete sentences even though he has been teaching here for years, his lectures are a complete mess, no one ever knows whats going on or what is due, and I genuinely have not learned a thing over the course of the entire semester. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Nice man bad professor. He does have a very thick accent that is quite hard to understand at times. He is very unorganized and each slide of his PowerPoint contains multiple paragraphs that run off the slide, making note taking very difficult. In each lecture he repeats half of what he said in the previous lecture. Bottom line, don't take him.

Nice guy and makes some funny jokes, but not a great professor. He is kind of hard to understand and not very organized. He does not give clear instructions on assignments. Class normally get out early and there is two big group porjects.
