Avoid him. His notes are confusing, his tests are impossible and he assumes that you know all this extra information already. Oh and very intimidating, plus not very well organized. Head my warning and avoid him or you will be sorry.

Very unorganized, test are different from material, I read all chapters and notes, then on test night I did not even recognize the wording, I think he wanted to impress us with his vocabulary. Very confusing.

This class would not be so bad if he just made the assignment and test more clear. It is very hard to figure out what is going on, this is frustrating to me because I do not have a lot of time between work and school.

Lecture doesn't line up to the material he has for the reading so you must study both..but even after studying both his test are ridiculously hard...some of the most awkward wording I have ever seen. I highly recommend for anyone to STAY AWAY from this professor! He is truly the worst I have ever had!

Urbanski is the type that thinks he is always right. You can take his test and then show him the notes he gave you on why an answer might be correct but it does no good. Anything anyone voices to him goes in one ear and out the other. I don't know if it is a respect issue or not, but he is not going to listen to anything you have to say. AVOID!

Urbanski has to be the worst teacher I have ever had in all my years attending college. He really does know the material, but he lacks the ability to structure his material which leaves you feeling lost... and its not long before you dread the course entirely. I'm not even sure I want to be a business major anymore because of this experience!

class was very hard to be an intro class. he is hard to understand and his hand writing is terrible. i studied for hours for the test and still failed. he tests you on the book when he doesnt go over the stuff and also questions from his lectures. very bad class. i do not reccommend him for a class.

I would never take a class with him again. This was an awful experience, Urbanski's lack of structure and direction made this class much harder then it needed to be. Test included material that was not in the lecture or the book.

This class has been a horrible experience. This guy is extremely unclear of what he wants. The class was made much more difficult by him and not the subject matter. This semester has been hell

He is the worst teacher ever, if possible take someone else!! His lectures drag on forever he makes no sense and he has the worst handwriting ever. You are spending more time trying to figure out what is on the board and what the hell he is talking about than actually taking good notes and learning. By far the worst teacher ever & he is really rude

Horrible teacher, dont listen to these other guys saying hes good, I think Urbanski himself came on here to improve his score.

I knew this class wasnt going to be fun prior to going into it and it proved correct. I am praying to pass the class, the tests are SO differnet than anything ive taken, they are situational and theres no one right answer. Pretty much a guessing game.. Class is mandatory and painful to sit through.

Worst teacher i have ever had at SSU. His lectures make no sense and tests are extremely hard. He puts things on the test that he said he lectured on but never did. Read the book. Try and avoid, he is horrible.

This was the worst professor I had in all my years of college. I don't agree that he should be teaching and especially this class. Avoid at all costs.

This was the WORST teacher I have had at SSU. His leactures are confusing and his tests are hard. He says he lectures on things that he doesn't and expect that you know it. He is not clear when teh two case studies are due and isn't clear on what you are supposed to do. Avoid if you can, you will dread the class.

first off, who doesn't use email? This was very frustrating. The tests are a combination of the lectures and readings, however the concepts he covers in class are not usually from the book. His lectures are confusing, and he is not straight forward.

Avoid if you can, he writes on the board, which is hard to follow since he jumps around all over the board. Exams are hard and confusing, worst professor ever!

Worst Professor I have ever had. His test are hard and lectures are confusing. Review your test if you choose the short answer. He gave me an F and I brought the book to show my answers were right and he still told me I was wrong. After pointing it out multiple times he finally gave me the A I deserved. DON'T take him if you can.

If you read any good comments on here, I'm more than sure it's Urbanski trying to save his own skin. Terrible class.

This instructor tell requires you to have a book. However, he makes up his own terms so the text book is no use. The notes that you will be taking in his class is what you should be studying. He claims he doesn't want you to just regurgitate text book info, so that's why he does it. But it's just a way for him not to read his own materials.

Proff makes up his own terms to avoid reading his own materials, so text book is useless. You use class notes instead, but he writes illegibly and does not give you time to write the notes down. Due to Tenure he is "Equity Entitled' . You will learn that term in his class. Brace yourself if you have to take his class.

Don't let the positive ratings fool you. Take this class at your own risk. The tests are the toughest I've ever taken. The group project is time consuming and complicated. The material, from the book, is so simple, but he makes it so unnecessarily complex. And you'll be tested on most of his material, not the book. May God be with you.

What should be expected from a college class are not lectures that are unorganized and a class that contains very little structure. Gives us 6 days to complete a HUGE group project and 4 days later you're given a major exam, but he can take a month to grade papers at his leisure.

Terrible teacher period. Lectures the entire class about stuff that is irrelevant. Gives no guidelines for the cases, final project, or final paper. DO NOT TAKE!

This professor is the absolute worst that I've ever taken in SSU. Not only that I agree with the comment below mine, but he makes his exams nearly impossible to get a good grade on. I've done hours of studying from the textbook and notes like he told us and I failed 3/4 exams. Also, he picks groups for the paper, so make sure you have a good group!

Prof Urbanski should be rated a clear F based on his own criteria: uninspiring/ tells students all the poor feedback he received here (RMP)is true, poor leadership skills, ambiguous tests with 5 choices, poor lecturer, uncaring/condescending-forgets students are his customers, project based on 70 year old film and does NOT practice what he teaches.

Awful. If you see this professor in any class list when you enroll in classes, DO NOT TAKE him. His lectures are unclear and tests are not even close to anything similar to whats in lecture and textbook. The case analysis he makes you do is just as bad. 1 week to do a 10 page paper is horrific, and he PICKS the groups for it! Save yourselves!

Horrible lecturer, doesn't write on board just speaks and expects you to understand. When he does write you can't read it, and he mumbles. His tests are almost impossible and filled with material he never talked about. Cant miss more than 2 classes

This class honestly made NO sense what so ever. With the transition to online classes due to COVID-19, he made this class extremely difficult. Prior to the transition, the lectures were hard to understand because he would mumble and not write anything on the board. The tests covered NOTHING discussed in lab/text. Project doesn't make sense.

Take the other professor. Everyone told me to but i liked the time slot he had. I am a A student and got a c grade. There are people who didnt study and did decently but ironically the ones of us who put effort into the class seemed to do worse on the exams. He is tenured so he really doesnt care. this class was by far my least favorite

Easily the worst teacher I have ever had. I took him online for summer school and his lectures are like 2 hours long and he mumbles the entire time. Then he gives you a test the next week on the lectures and the book with grading criteria that doesn't make sense. The leadership analysis you aren't given enough time. Do not take this man

One of the worst online classes I have ever taken. The material itself is not difficult, but there is a huge disconnect when it comes to the tests. Your grade is also nearly 100% based off of tests. I've got nothing against this guy, but his teaching style will not align with 95% students. Like others have said, do not take his class.

Couldn't reach him for help the majority of the semester. Tough Grader with no clear grading rubric. Somehow expects people to be able to watch 5-7 hours of lecture for a test with no practice or assignments to help you. Rude, condescending, one of the worst Professors I've come in contact with and I've had over 20 of them total.

The tests are very hard, and he formats the class asynchronously so you have to teach yourself everything. His recorded lectures are long and dense, somewhat hard to follow. He was extremely rude to me when I had a technical difficulty during the middle of a proctored exam on zoom. If you can avoid him, I would.

No offense to Professor Urbanski, but he is out of touch. He uses long dense recorded videos that honestly do not help you at all. Sets up course for you to fail if you do not do well on exams. Honestly does not seem like he cares about his students at all. Do not take him if you can.

Worst teacher I've ever had in any level of education. He truly sucks at connecting with students and is boring as hell. Extremely unorganized with his class procedures and does not know technology. Beware prior to taking this class, you will regret it. However, most have to take his class to pass pre-requisite requirements.

I gave Professor Urbanski the benefit of the doubt when signing up for classes at the beginning of the semester, ignoring the bad reviews. But when I say this is the worse professor at SSU, I mean it. He does not care about his students whatsoever. Avoid taking this professor if possible.

Urbanski was one of the hardest professors I've ever taken. He expects the students to study pre-recorded lectures in which he rambles on at quiet monotonous volume. The information is dry and as a professor he is unhelpful. Do not take this course unless you need to. The tests are very difficult, especially considering the dry class material.

The most unorganized teacher at SSU and probably the only teacher who truly could care less if his students fail.

Worst professor Ive had in college

This is by far the worst prof I've ever taken in college. He literally doesn't care about anything and he says that he's open to questions but is so rude when answering emails. He has such an attitude when putting in absolutely no work into the class. He doesn't "care about grades" for students which speaks a lot already. Avoid this man.....

During my time at Sonoma State University I have not had a worse teacher than this guy. It is ironic that he is an organizational behavioral and human resources teacher. He is the type of professor to say grades don't matter, its all about your understanding and then proceed to give you an F. For heavens sake stay away please god.

I am a straight A student and am falling his class. The test questions are never worded like his lectures or the book and trick you. He gives little time to test without use of book or notes. He is nothing but rude and could care less if we pass. My entire class in failing.

I am older than many of the students in my classes. After two years at SCC and now on my second year at SSU I have never experienced such an experience with a teacher that is more focused on accusing students of cheating than really caring about them learning and understanding the course.

Horrible construction of teaching the class, cares more about students cheating then he does about teaching the material. Calls for absurd test instructions that take good amount of time out of your test time just to figure out how to take the test. Do not take this class

Avoid at all costs! He recorded all lectures so he doesn't have to hold Zoom Sessions even though class was listed as synchronous, but then requires you to log onto zoom & turn your camera on for exam days. Then accuses the class of cheating after the first exam even though everyone failed it. If you prefer teaching yourself then he is your teacher

THE WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. I took him last year, and now that I am graduating this year I can say that with 100% confidence. He is so strangely condescending, and genuinely seems to hate his job. I took his course asynchrnously, and so I basically taught the course to myself. The work load is fine, it's just the professor himself.

He is an agonizing pain to listen to at 8 in the morning. Loves talking about his BUS 344 class and gets mad about little things, such as sleeping in class. Takes attendance and lectures the whole time because he doesn't wanna waste our money. Has an abnormally long syllabus and will call people out for yawning.

The professor was the hardest part of the class. I took the summer course and he accused everyone of cheating on the first exam. On our final group project, he handed us an easy assignment that took us 10 minutes to complete, then asked us to write a 2-page paper rating each other's efforts with an emphasis on who was a bad student/who slacked off.

Worse professor at SSU. Do not take if possible

One of the worst professors that I had taken at SSU. Cares more about students that commit academic dishonesty rather than wanting them to pass. The only bright side is the class is bisynchronous but pretty much teaching yourself all the materials that were presented but we have to log on zoom to take tests. I wouldn't let my worst enemy take him.

Terrible teacher, not only is he rude but also has odd criteria for tests and makes you pay for his pdfs to write an analysis like as if we didn't already spend so much on the class to begin with.

Terrible professor! Class is very difficult and very dense! Avoid if you can (Sorry to those who have no choice but to take him)

A professor who's main goal is to catch cheaters. Tests are performed over Zoom with cameras on, if you need to ask any questions he only takes phone calls... Be prepared for confusing tests with conceptual questions not pertaining to lecture. Spams inbox with accusations of class cheating. Everyone did so poorly that my D- got curved to a C.

I would genuinely rather cut off my right nut than take another class with this man. He changes rules days before the test and never provides a study guide. He makes jokes to try to keep the class liking him but we just want him to retire. I am not kidding when I say you should lie and say you have work during his class to take a CSU ONLINE CLASS

Hands down worst professor ever (if you can even call him that). He literally tried to r

Professor is terrible. Only uploads videos of old films, you don't learn anything. All of his material you can find on google so its all copied and the tests have ZERO to do with the stuff he provides.He refuses to use email only does phone calls. Will call you back DAYS after. if anyone from SSU we need to have him FIRED.

He has a such a terrible attitude. When a student got up to go to the bathroom, he said "well wait" and halted class just for a student who had to use the restroom. Ive never seen a teacher get mad at a student who has to do a normal human function. This is University, were adults! This aint middle school or elementary where we have to ask. Avoid!

Has no enthuasiasm and doesnt engage students that much. Topics he teaches in class usually doesnt show up on the test. Provides little to no study guides to prepare for important exams. Makes his own questions on exams that are confusing and sometimes based on topics that we didnt cover. Terrible teacher that I would not take again.

worst professor i have ever taken at ssu. could not care about the students at all + exams were almost impossible. it is a miracle i passed. if i could share some wisdom, it would be to never take this professor. save yourself the stress / pain. trust. me. i gave this professor the benefit of the doubt and i regret it. he lives up to his reviews.

Professor Urbansky to be quite frank is very unreasonable. In my BUS344 class, I paid money to learn and I can be fully confident in saying I didn't learn a thing due to how frustrated I was every single day in his class. HE is very unreasonable with how he teaches the class... none of the tests even correlate with the lectures he gives.

This Professor is very hard. His exams are 70% of your grade; NOT open-note, and you need to teach everything yourself, then take the exams in person. Do not recommend. Group projects are involved near the end, so hopefully you get a group that will do their part.

only took 344 with him because I had to, if not I would have not taken this course. if you do not participate in his questions throughout lectures, go to class or teach yourself the textbook, you will most likely not pass. take any professor you'd like, just not this one if you want to actually learn and pass class.
