I made an A in the class so I'm not too upset, but he was pretty rude in feedback and correspondence, and this class was much harder than any online class I've taken in the business department solely because of how tough he graded assignments. Quizzes were easy and tests were fairly hard. I wouldn't personally take him again, but he wasn't awful

Dr. Varghese is a really great guy. Yes, there is a lot of preparation for the course in regards to textbook reading (there are pop quizzes) however - this is to be expected with a senior level class, and there is never more than a chapter to read at a time. He usually gives you warnings when to be prepared. He's very nice, knowledgeable, and funny

Professor Varghese is a new teacher and is trying to get his stride, so some things are off but he is somewhat open to suggestions on improvement. There are very interesting topics you discuss in class. You have to write a couple of papers and there are pop quizzes over the reading material. Grading is fair, he just wants to see effort.

I wouldn't say he's a bad professor, he's just straightforward and expects a lot. I do think he cares about his students and that's why he pushes them.

An exceptional professor who truly cares about his students. He is such a resource in and out of the classroom and is available in his office to talk about school and the industry. There are a few case assignments, but majority of the final grade is based on 4 tests. There is a comprehensive final, but it's used to bail out lowest test grade.

Probably one of the most annoying things about him is he refuses to say what he really wants to say.

He is no nonsense. You have to pay attention to announcements and complete quizzes weekly. He understands schedules for online students are different, so I think that is why he leaves quizzes and exams windows open longer than most professors. If you log in at least 3 times per week and spend about 7 hours per week, it's an easy A. Lots of reading.

He's by far the most invested instructor I've had at UNT. I noticed that one of the reviews said Mr. Varghese is funny and inspirational. His teaching style is an inspiration. He inspired me to be a better grad student. I can't wait to take another course with him.

This class was way more difficult than I expected or think it needed to be. short timed quizzes that were not easy. Webcam tests that were difficult and professor did not provide help on how to study. No reviews and only vague study guide. Discussion video posts saved my grade. I wish professor was involved and wanted to help.
