He encourages questions. Explains the material well. graves on a curve. not so much homework. and has a review which is basically the test.
Explains concepts well. Gives very thorough review for exams. Offers additional help if needed. Would definitely recommend this professor to others.
Gives a very thorough review before exams, which helps everyone get a better grade. Easy to talk to and will help anyone in any way possible to understand the subject matter.
would definitly recommend him. got an A on the exam. explains well, encourages questions, u learn excell,
I recomend this professor. He explains clearly, encourage students to ask questions, and gives an excellent review for exams.
He is a nice person, but he expects you to come from second to second which is very frustrating. His exams are hard, but he gives a nice review. But if you want to really learn the topic, you got to do the work yourself. He doesn't write on the board and talks too fast to write down his speech. B---
PROF:FOGEL MADE THE CLASS I DREDED THE MOST INTO A FUN A EDUCATING EXPIRIANCE. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYBODY WHO IS LOOKING TO TAKE STATIATICS. HE MAKES THE COURSE FUN AND AT THE SAME TIME YOU LEARN TOOLS THAT YOU WILL USE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
he is one of the best professors i ever had. he gives the best reviews before examinations. i would recommend him to all fellow classmates.
I think he is the BEST professor 4 bus 30.2.....he is not only helpful in the class but also u can get him outside the class.....he will be more than happy to help u not only in his subject but also u can get help in other subjects.......I'm saying this because he helped me making a presentation 4 t
great teacher. you must be in his class the minute it starts. his hw is easy. i recommend him to anyon
He is a great professor. He gives a great review which makes his midterm and final a breeze. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to take eco 30.2 which could be hard.
This is his first time teaching this course; he's expecting alot out of students. He's definitely good for econ/bus 30.2. But for Bus 80.4, stay away from him because he gives difficult assignments, such as incoporating references into your research paper, and analyzing different data sets
I took him for 30.2 and learned so much about excell and statistics however I believe that the 80.4 class is a lot of work. If you take him please be ready for a lot of work and reasearch. The positive thing is that he is available to help you outside of class and he really wants you to learn. GL 2U
This class was very easy, you basically have to do your homework and be on time in order to make a good grade. The midterm and final is based on homework, so that helped out alot.I recommend this professor to everyone taking Stats.
This professor is the best business teacher in the whole school. He goes over the midterm and the final so that you know exactly what the questions are like and what to study.
GREAT PROF!! the BEST Prof @ BC!! helpful, clear, gives EXCELLENT reviews for midterm & final, genuinely interested that the students learn the material, very approachable, makes statistics enjoyable, understandable, and applicable to economics, business, research, and every day life. TAKE HIM!! TAKE HIM!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
One of the most kind, helping professor I have ever had. He is very clear & understanding, goes over the miderterm and let you know exactly what to study..Great Guy..cares about his students.
He is a type of professor BC needs since there are plenty of second language students.Take him you will learn everything you want to.Just study hard.He won't give you a free A.He is the best professor for this course.Period.
He is an amazing professor and mentor. He is very understanding regarding student circumstances. If you do what you are required and study, his class is a breeze.
The greatest, most caring, and entertaining professor. E-mails you back right away and gives very fair tests. Coming to class is a must and he does a great job at keeping you awake. Got an +A. Definitely the best for statistics in making it practical and understandable!!!
the mannnnnnnnnnnnn, take him the best statistics prof. easy if you put work into it, not a slave driver, far from it and great attitude. Wish he taught more courses!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALso teaches neg&conflict the best at both, tells you everything you need to know to the T. Great at what he does, helps students, very polite and gives a great curve if you do what he asks for which is very easy to do. The best by far, take him but hurry his class fills up quickly!!!!!!!!!!!!
Took his in the summer this term, VERY EASY CLASS! Tkae Negotiation and conflict resolution online and just study the slides, you dont need the book if you have half a brain, studied for 4 hours total in teh class 2 hours before the midterm, 2 hours before the final and got an A+ in the class. Very easy, hes a bit of a nervous fella, but his tests
WOW!!!! I can't possibly think of a way to take a class that has a slight chance of being easier than this one. It was online there were no assignments. All that your grade consists of is the final which he literally gave us all the questions to in his review. Then to top it off he curved the final. I got an Easy A+ in this class.
Fogel is cool, he doesn't use the textbook at all, all the material that you will need to know for his exams (all multiple choice) come from his slides. As long as you come to class every day (since he takes it into account), study the slides you will get an A. You might have to do presentatio in his class, but it wasn't too difficult. Word.
Are kid'n me? the worst professor I ever had. Atend one class AFTER the 'drop date; is over, and you will see the teacher he turns into...
Not as cool as everyone say he is, he's way too uptight. He's a good prof and everything, but criticizing ppl in front of the class after the presentation is disrespectful to me.(even though some ppl enjoy the attention) And one time this girl walk out the class after final review, this man literally blew up and ask why this why that. (i mean chill
(This kid name Egor or something)what a geek. I wish he can just shut up for 45 sec without talking.(Yes i time it) He reminds me of Steve Urkel except for the "did i do that"part. Through out the whole class he is practically saying "Hehe PLEASE LOOK AT ME HEHE" I mean shut the f*ck up already. Yes yes, i know this review sucks. One lesson"No CURS
One midterm, one final. (35% each), presentation(20%), Assignment(5%) Attendance (5%). Yes, u are right attendance. Not just absence, but tardiness counts. Maximum 10 lateness; after that, the highest you can get is an (A) instead of (A+) even if you get 100's in both Exam, the presentation and Assignment. Sucks? yes i know. (He's such a geek)
proffesor fogel is the best out their i have been absent more 60% of the time and still and up with a c+. i know attendance sucks. but lets face it i never been on time for this class except for my presentation and final. by the way "eagor" is the man get to now him and you'll see.
Although this was a net class, the outline provided by the professor was more than helpful and the test had no surprises or tricks. Half the class got an A. If you want to actually remember something, then this class is highly recommended!
very nice guy but in order to do well u have to study his material and be punctual to class.
(online class)- i was scared 2 days before the final because i did 0 work the semester. i read nothing in the book. for 2 days i crammed the info on the slides that he provided, and did the review sheet. the review sheet was practically the test. A+++ babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Really nice professor. He basically gave us the questions to the tests. All I had did was study the review. Highly recommended.
I thought he was pretty weird at first, but pretty cool guy. As long as you study the online notes and read the book you should be ok. I slacked off on the second test and got a B. Easy A otherwise.
This is an online class that is presented in an extremly organized manner. Although the professor says to "understand" the concepts you need to "memorize" them to get an A. Also the professor gives opportunities to raise the grade by participating in an online forum.
Excellent professor. Highly recommended. I took his consumer behavior online class. His assignments were very interesting and relatively easy to do. Exams are straightforward, maybe 5 of 40 questions on the final are tricky, but use common sense and yes, do memorize a few definitions, too.
Take him if you can.
he talks too much sometimes
Prof. F is the best Stats prof ever. He teaches and entertains at the same time. His teaching techniques are awesome. Plus he has real life experience to back it up. Also in this class you don't have to memorize long Formulas like you would have to in other stats classes. I would recommend this prof to everyone. He is an A++++++++++++++++++++:-)
He is a great professor and he cares about his students. If you can you should take him. It was a great experience. I took him for Bus 30.2.
Super nice guy. Very organized, very intelligent and has a sense of humor to keep you awake. Take him if you have a chance
i do recommend him for stats, he made the class seem easy. i like his method of teaching
DO NOT TAKE HIM FO RTHE CLASS. There uis a lot of self learning. He will not help you with any unclear materials.
This course is challenging, but the professor is extremely helpful and basically holds your hand through all of the work of the entire course. The professor is actually very helpful and tries to explain everything VERY thoroughly and answer all questions. If a classmate cant help you, and you still dont understand it, the professor WILL help.
Helpful teacher, he answers any question one has very thoroughly. He is very friendly and approachable. I would recommend him for this course. He lets you submit many of the final assignments for review and gives you much feedback which is very helpful.
This professor is really easy going but you certainly learn a whole lot in his class. I took the negotiations class online and it was very interesting and easy. We used a lot of real life examples. I definitely recommend him. He's great!
If your major is teach yourself then you will do fine. This is one of the worst professor I have ever had. You will learn nothing and feel frustrated at the same time. He loves to talk about himself and what he accomplished, it was the best sleep I ever had.
Very intersting and entertaining class. Highly recommend. Just show up to class because attendance is important, although he does allow 10 lates/absences a semester.
Excellent professor. I took BUS-336: Consumer Behavior online. Highly recommended. Excellent textbook and really helpful PowerPoint documents. Highly informative course materials and challenging assignments ? help you understand consumer behavior principles and practical applications of consumer behavior concepts to marketing strategies.
Are you kidding me? I learned NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING. This guy is in it for the payroll check. I can not believe I did not read rate my professor before taking this class. Run as fast as you can.
I just finished my class in negotiation. I knew nothing when it started and I still know nothing. This was a waste of time. His ego is bigger than my grade. Don't take him unless you have 1 month to live.
I took this guy for my online class in negotiation. I am very disappointed. I feel cheated. He would post an assignment, then we would not hear from him for weeks. I wish i read his post before the semester because I would not taken this joker. He made us read his boring two page bio and posted the worst picture.
I also took this Prof for my online negotiation class. I got a B. Truly, I learned nothing and I hated his teaching style. I had a lot of interest for this class in the beginning. Now, for me it was a waste of time. I think CUNY School of Professional Studies should issue a refund for this waste of time to all his students.
BUS 336 is a no frills course that cuts straight to the heart of consumer behavior. Professor Fogel outlines exactly what is expected and gives ample time (2 weeks per chapter) to do it. He also gives ppts that outline the important pts from the chapter (great study tools!)If you do the work on time and study for the midT & final,you'll ace it.
I took the Negotiations, BUS336 from Professor Fogel and got "A". This class is the easiest class ever! I learnt tons of thing throughout the semester. We were not given 20 chapters to read or many research papers to write! We had just 8 chapters to read and post few discussion board threads. Deadlines were reasonable to make our life easier!
He gave me a B in my online course on negotiation. I don't understand why the School of Professional Studies hired him. He was a pretty bad instructor. When you question him on something he gets mad or even. I deserved an A. I should have never questioned him.
THE WORST!!! Trust me.
Professor Fogel's expectations are straightforward: presentation, participation, and accuracy. Prior quotes hold a kernel of truth in that Professor Fogel is blunt as well as exact but he is fair - if you do the work, are accurate, and pay attention - you will succeed in his class.
Hilarious in that getting into the class to take his final is like going through airport security and will take longer than the final itself. Otherwise, Great professor! I don't know why people are complaining. The final is straight from the powerpoint and he also curves if you did the discussion board postings. Follow his instructions!
He's an easy professor. Anyone coming out of the 6th grade could probably get an A in this class. 80% of the time is nonsense, and 20% is lecture. His idea of a "review" is just to go over what will be on the exam by topic, but won't actually review any of the material. Assigns seats for the exam, and thinks everyone is cheating.
Easy A professor (on-line class). Only 8 discussion boards and two exams for the entire course. Textbook not necessary to purchase. Prof posts powerpoint lecture notes for each chapter, all that you need for the two exams.
In a word? RUN. If you do a cost-benefit analysis with this professor, you will cry. Unless you're okay with him spending 45 min chasing a bee around the room. Or him telling you about his dreams of visiting all the state capitals; or the 30 min he spent telling the class about visiting "Fogelsville"? That was fun. Take a professor that will teach.
He is a great professore, i probably would have neer understood anything in statistics if he wasnt so clear about what needs to be done and why. He answers all of your questions no matter how many times you need to go over it. Yes he is a bit quirky but it makes it a bit more interesting
Love this professor ! Crystal clear and easy going!
Great professor, a lot of material to memorize and learn but his power points are amazing. Memorize them and you will pass with an A ! Good Luck !
I don't recommend this online course with this professor.This subj is more beneficial and info likely to be retained if taken in a live class.I took this course during the Wtr short session. He posted 4 discussion ?'s worth 1 pt each.He doesn't engage in disc.Final is 100% of your grade.Self teach yourself with the PPTs he posts from the start.
DO NOT take this teacher. He does not care about the students at all. Had two of his classes and I had to take both finals at the same date/time and when emailed about it said his time is to important to come in another day/time and he wont give me a "person" test on a time of my convinces, meanwhile I have class during the time of the test.
Professor is clear and tries to helps students. Provides all the material for the test. If you study notes, you get an A in the class. Doesn't make you buy expensive book. I enjoyed the class. Good professor. Highly recommended.
Professor Fogel is amazing! I took him for two summer classes and enjoyed both. He was very clear and fair about the material and exams, and even though I’m not a business major I found the classes very useful. I definitely recommend taking him if you want an A and actually enjoy the class. Also great advice giver!
He interacted very little with the class during the semester. The first time we met him was for the final, when he called 100+ people in groups by name and assigned seating. It took over an hour to seat everyone and only 20 minutes to complete the exam. I can't rate his teaching abilities since he actually did not teach us - we just read a book.
One of the best professors at Brooklyn College. Lectures are crystal clear, workload is light, and exams are extremely fair. It was a pleasure to take this class, and I definitely recommend it for those looking to learn and improve their GPA.
This was an online class, I know, but I wish that there was more class interaction on Blackboard and more assignments to help us solidify ideasconcepts. There were only 5 or so homework assignments all semester. The midterm is optional and the mandatory final is 40 multiple-choice questions.
Take him-Amazing prof. Math is really annoying but he made it so much easier n fun. His class is the only class I never missed. He chased a bee for 10 min. Don't yawn he'll ask you to match him in a pushup contest just to get you to wake up Home works only take 5_10min midterm final & he goes over the topis
He's very energetic and goes through the material pretty quickly. It's a fairly tough course. A midterm and a final. He says he gives grading curve at the very end. Allows 10 absences and latenesses.
Take really really good notes. Exam is based all on notes. Lecture is boring, and his personal stories are distracting during not taking, most students doze off. He does tries to make the stories interesting. He speaks way too fast and formulas on board is sloppy. Could of done better if review sheets and power points were used.
Professor Fogel is an excellent educator. His lectures are crystal clear, and he makes statistics very easy to understand. It is really not a tough class- do the homework, come to class, ask questions and you will succeed! I recommend this professor. There are two exams and the final grade is curved.
Not sure why so many people love this professor he's horrible. Took him for an online course. The final exam is worth 100% of your grade which is absolutely ridiculous. To make matters worse, the final is based on 8 freaking chapters, in which you have to learn and memorize in 2 and a half weeks. Trust me stay away from this guy!
Be prepared to take loads of notes and hear him go off topic and talk about irrelevant things. He's a good professor, willing to go over problems to ensure that we understand the material. For exams, he takes attendance outside the class and assigns you a seat one by one smh. Homework every class and he will randomly pick you to participate.
Really bad professor. Wouldn't recommend... Goes off topic so much I cannot believe Brooklyn College is paying this teacher to talk about his life instead of teaching the material at hand. Only 30 of the hour and forty five minutes goes to learning. Ridiculous!
this is by far the worst class i took so far at brooklyn college ..... dont take this class
not sure why this professor has such bad reviews. he taught us everything we needed to know for the midterm and the final. The tests are solely based on the homework which the professor goes over and explains during every class meeting. Yes you have to study, but professor Fogel gives you all the tools you need to get an A in the class.
Online class with optional midterm worth 30 percent of your grade if you decide to take it otherwise the final is 100 percent. He gave us about 4 discussion on blackboard which is extra credit. The final is based on 8 chapters. Overall not a bad class. Study his slides before hand and you'll get a A.
Professor Fogel's tests are very fair and easy if one studies the material provided. The material is interesting as well! Definitely suggest taking his classes.
Took him for negotions online. If you study his slides from the jump you will pass with a A. Optional midterm worth 30 percent of your grade if you choose not to take it then the final is 100 percent your grade
Online Class for the winter session his class was very confusing how do you have us come in for an in class final for an online class. Then to make matters worse he's the only professor available for this session. Terrible professor avoid at all cost your GPA will suffer.
VERY EASY! you do not even need the books. I did not read anything and studied his slides the day before the test. He is a very detailed orientated, clear and always available. He gave a study guide - read the slides! do the simple discussions and you will get an A too!
Professor Fogel is a very unfair grader. He have you do a few discussion boards online during the semester, but doesnt give you credit for it. He gives an OPTIONAL midterm and if you take that, its 30% of your grade. If you dont, the accumulative final is 100% of your grade! More than one class with him, all finals taken in one sitting!
Ive never in my college career taken a course that is 100% based off the final . If you fail the final you fail the course . This professor gives little assignments in blackboard which only go towards you getting a curve on the test . If youre not a good test taker DONT take him .
How can a course be dependent upon final exam (100 %). If thats the case then why does he posts discussion board assignments ? He should be clear that no assignments only Final exam. What a joke this class and prof is. Dont take this prof if you love your GPA please ...
Avoid this prof. His final exam decides what grade you will get which is kind of funny and confusing because whatever you get on final exam is your final grade . So if you fail in final exam but you did your assignments u will still fail which is unfair. Avoid him
In my 3 years of college career I have never seen a professor whose course grade is dependent 100% on final exam which is unfair and also blackboard assignments wont play any part in your grades. Obviously he dont care I guess Stay away from this prof.
I completed my blackboard assignment and failed the final by 5 points. I thought he will curve the grade and pass me but he didnt He should have done that because a course should not be depend upon final 100 percent Unfair grading and unfair prof.
To be honest, this class is easy if you study his slides because that is what every question on his two exams(one of them is optional) based on, and I could tell that he put in a lot of time into creating them. Complainers, you are at your own risk if you decided to stay after reading his syllabus and knowing his grading criteria.
Stay away is you can! Professor makes the final 100% of your grade, no weekly work or communication whatsoever. No real work! Get you a professor that is worth your hard earned money.
Terrible professor, please refrain from taking him.
Don't take this professor, he is very tough grader, and he can come off as a jerk. homework twice a week, two test, midterm and final. you need to go to class, and participate.
Professor Fogel cares greatly about his work in all details. I deeply respect and appreciate his wisdom and experience. He gave an optional exam and a mandatory exam with a few discussion boards this winter. It was a very good class with important information to handle stress in the work place. I liked Professor Fogels class and you should take it!
took this class fully online, one optional test, optional discussion boards, and one final. Powerpoints have all the info you need for the tests and final. Very easy and chill class. Take it with him!
He is the worst professor I have ever had in my years of being in college. He goes over the lesson so fast and doesn't give you a chance to fully understand the lesson. He does not give any extra credit and the whole class is based on what you get in the final and midterm homework is only worth 5%
Stay away! this class taken online is worse!
Took this Professor for Winter 2022 Session ONLINE. It was my last semester at BK College. His assignments are straightforward. The syllabus explains everything you need to know to pass his class! He provides informational PowerPoints to help you with assignments. I loved this class as it prepared me for the real world in Business!
Read the syllabus as it will tell you everything you need to know about this class that way you are not surprised in the end. He is an easygoing Professor. Do the work, and read/study. PowerPoint slides offer everything you need to know for exams. What you put in, you'll get out. So if you Do the work and put your best foot forward, you will pass.
This professor is tough no reviews for anything. Grades based off mid-terms and Finals.
DO NOT TAKE HIM, I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE HIM. IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR GPA I SUGGEST YOU FIND A BETTER PROFESSOR!
to be honest, this professor was not bad as I thought he would be, much better than my other professor who gave random essays at the end of the year that is not mentioned in the syllabus. We were able to take the test online which is good, he is chill about the homework and no pop quiz or nothing, grading criteria is clear.
Ok, so I would say that he is a very cool Professor. He gave two exams for the semester (a midterm and a final) but what he teaches in class actually helps you prepare for his exams. A few days before the exam, he gives a review on what topics you need to study for the exam which can help you focus on what you should study so you don't waste time.
Most traumatic experience of my college career. Was so stressful I gained a stress rash I still have. I wish somebody was there to tell me how cold and uncaring Professor Fogel is. Stay away.
Class was originally in person but offered a zoom option so that was good. Exams make up most of your grade so take notes and don't fall asleep lol.
Nice teacher, he is really interesting
good teacher
Not worth it, always late and your grade is based off a midterm worth of 30% and a final of 50%. His class is always 70% going off topic then actual 30% of explaining the class material. Don't take him if you have other options!
Asynchronous class. No homework. Mandatory final (70%), optional exam (30%), and extra credit exam. If you only take the final then it would be 100% of your grade. Exams are based on his slides so not that difficult. He gave some discussion boards which count as extra credit, but only "if you do them correctly" however he never graded them.
Exams are Easy. One Midterm, One Final. Some homework to be completed to participate in the next class. Be ready to get bored by his off-topic discussion in class. He mostly gets off the class track and comes back. and lost track again. If you choose to be in person, you have to attend all Tuesdays in person, and the midterm will be in person.
